Chapter Fourteen

By the time they returned to Momma R’s, Caith was beyond exhausted. The events of the last couple of days were finally creeping up on her, the stress of attempted assassinations coupled with the “Sam Drama Llama” had her running on fumes. She was ready to crumble and all she craved at this point was a bed. Not even a full bed. A pile of random blankets would work.

Quiet reigned during their drive from the bar to Momma R’s place. For Caith, it was because she was rolling the encounter with the human through her mind. On Sam’s… she was sure it was something along the lines of “what the fucking fuck?”

She couldn’t exactly blame him.

The car rolled to a gentle stop in front of the house and Caith blindly reached for the handle. “Thanks for tonight, Sam. It was…” She glanced at him, fighting for a smile that refused to appear. “It was interesting.”

“Caith…”

She ignored him and stepped from the vehicle, bending down to peer at him through the open doorway. “I’ll see you when I see you, right?”

She couldn’t make promises. Her wolf howled at her for walking away, but her heart couldn’t take any more battering and bruising. If it happened, it happened. But after the encounter with the human, she didn’t have high hopes.

Caith stepped back and nudged the door closed before turning toward the house. Shower, sleep. Hell, the shower was negotiable.

The scents of sweetness and sulfur filled her nose a split-second before Sam appeared before her. He was all blazing eyes, midnight hair, and muscular male and it had her body yearning for his touch.

“Dammit. Wait a second,” he growled.

“It’s fine. Tonight obviously wasn’t our night and if you want to try again later, we can. If not,” she swallowed past the lump in her throat. If not, it’ll kill me. “Then we won’t. Simple as that.”

Sam cupped her face, holding her head steady as he glared at her. “Nothing with you is simple.”

Caith wrapped her fingers around his wrist, fingers pressed against his pulse point. “Nothing worth having is simple.”

The world was so basic and yet confusing at the same time.

“So, what? You’re just gonna walk away now?”

She let her eyes drift closed, shutting him out of her mind. “I’m not walking away. I’m crawling on hands and knees, and begging my wolf to understand. You were disgusted when you heard my plans, Sam. Don’t pretend you weren’t. And that’s fine.” She pressed her lips together and took a soothing breath. “It’s fine. You’re a gel. You have one job for On High with strict instructions and rules and… you’re a good guy. In the tween, things are more fluid. My word is law in this town and I… I am not always a good person.”

Caith begged her beast to play along. “So, I’m gonna go inside, strip down and step into the shower and pray the noise blocks out the sound of you leaving. If that doesn’t work, I’ll shift and go for a run.
