Chapter 17

HILLARY

The walk to my place is only four blocks from the diner, and I live near a large copse of trees that eventually leads to the woods that surround the town. My stomach is in knots, while my bunny is ecstatic. She can’t wait to shift and to play with Alec’s bear again.

Am I really going to do this? Shifting with him says I trust him again, at least on some level, and I’m not sure I do. But it’s too late to go back. I’m past the point of no return.

Maybe I always was.

When we arrive, my hands shake as I invite him in. I’m not sure why, it’s not like we haven’t done this before. Letting him into my space feels intimate, though, and as I lead him through the house to the back he looks around, taking in who I am now based on my things. The photos on my walls, the mess in my living room, and the dishes in my sink. His lips twitch up into a small smile as he touches the bear-shaped salt and pepper shakers on the table. They were a gift from him on Christmas years ago, and I never got rid of them. They’re great salt and pepper shakers.

I open the back door and we go out onto the lawn. And now my stomach clenches because we both need to undress to shift. I do it because I don’t like to get buried inside my clothes when I shrink down into a two-pound fluff of white fur. Alec needs to so he doesn’t rip apart his clothes when he grows in size.

Even though we’ve been naked together before—many times—I feel shy about undressing in front of him, and I wonder if maybe I should just let my clothes swallow me up as a rabbit and figure a way out. But that would be foolish, and Alec would know exactly why I did it. Quickly, I pull off my shirt and toss it to the side, then my bra. I keep my back to him as I undo my pants and take them off along with my underwear. Curious I peer over my shoulder as he undresses too.

Oh man. Here we go.

He’s not the least bit shy. His shirt comes off, and I marvel at the way his muscles ripple as he moves. I’ve always found him sexy, but he has definitely improved with age. Football has been kind to that physique of his.

It’s not fair how time seems to be kinder to men. They get more attractive, while women just… age.

I shake my head at myself, because the way Alec is looking at me tells me he doesn’t mind. At all. With his gaze locked on mine, he shucks his pants and stands there buck naked. Beautiful and divine.

I’m embarrassed by the way I’m gawking, and I turn back around to try to control my raging hormones. I think about our kiss the other day, and I heat up as I want a repeat performance.
