Chapter Seven

Cleo

An hour later, Cleo stumbled up the path that led to her house, sweaty, out of breath and still bruised from their fall in the caves. Steven was following right behind, limping a little. She'd checked his wounds again in the sunlight. Although the bite looked bad, it had stopped bleeding. In any case, there had been no choice but to try and make it back to her home as quickly as possible.

"Can you catch rabies from a shifter?" she asked, trying out that unfamiliar word on her tongue. She still couldn't believe it was true.

She'd seen it happen. She'd seen both of them shift right before her eyes—but it still didn't feel real.

Steven chuckled. He was bruised and wounded, and yet Cleo felt the familiar stirring of heat in her belly when she turned to look at him. He was still naked. A light sheen of sweat made his skin gleam in the sunlight. They'd washed off the dust and dirt in the lake, and except for the wounds left by the fight, he looked none the worse for wear.

Worriedly, Cleo bit her lip, watching the muscles of his chest ripple as he stretched to reach past her for the phone. She listened as he rang his brother to tell him about the unconscious shifter tied up in the cave.

Something was niggling on her mind, had been for the entire walk back. She'd been too wrapped up in the mystery of seeing a man turn into a bear right before her eyes—but now, all of a sudden, the pieces started to come together.

"Your brother knows!" she said accusingly, as soon as he ended the call. "That's why he called you. Because he knew that the jaguar wasn't a real jaguar."

Steven took a deep breath. For a moment, he looked very weary, and Cleo felt a stabbing pain in her chest.

Is this the moment when other secrets will come out? Other lies?

But Steven had saved her life. As strange as it was, despite everything, she still trusted him.

She flushed a little as her eyes skimmed along his powerful thighs, up to where his shaft lay nestled.

God, how is every part of him so beautiful?

Need pulsed between her legs once more as she remembered the sensation of him sliding inside her.

"I told you I'd answer all your questions. So. Ask." Steven gave her a small smile, although his eyes were apprehensive.

"Sit down first." Again Cleo's eyes traveled down his body until they rested on his wounds. "You'll talk, and I'll get out the first aid kit."

"I'll be fine tomorrow," Steven said, although he obediently went towards her couch. "It's a shifter thing. We heal very fast."

Cleo made a distracted sound as she dragged the old first aid kit from the highest kitchen shelf. She wrinkled her nose at the dust that rose up.

When she returned to the couch, Steven had sat down, his wounded leg stretched out in front of him.

She gently prodded at the uninjured skin. "So that's where all your scars come from?"

The disinfectant looked very familiar.
