Chapter Ten

He’d known it was probably going to be a fruitless effort to have a session with Vivian when all he was able to think about was Justice leaving. The idea that something bad would happen to one or both of them if he did leave was preying on Paul’s mind.

Vivian had mentioned coping skills and possible OCD. Paul didn’t have obsessive-compulsive disorder. He just wanted his mate.

Paul closed his eyes and let that word roll around in his head. He murmured it, at first soundlessly, then softly. Justice had come to mean so much to him in such a short time. It shouldn’t have been possible, but it had happened.

It was too bad humans didn’t have such bonds. How many heartaches would be spared, how many marriages and divorces prevented? If you knew there was possibly a soulmate out there, waiting to find you or to be found, rushing into a marriage wouldn’t happen.

Humans as a whole weren’t so lucky. Every day, Paul would treasure the gift he’d been given. His fear of shifters was still there, but not of snow leopard shifters. Justice and his family’s kindness was greater than Paul’s fear.

Wolf shifters, however, were still nightmarish abominations as far as he was concerned. Maybe that would change once Oscar and Josiah were back. Paul wouldn’t be able to avoid Josiah forever.

Maybe just until I can join Justice in Phoenix. I could stay in my cabin all the time. With Justice gone, I won’t be sitting outside, the grass beneath me and the sunlight warming my skin while I wait for him to return. Damn, I’ll miss this.

There was an odd sort of tension coming from Justice when Paul reached for him through their link. Something was bothering Justice, and it wasn’t only their impending separation. Paul could feel the worry coming off his mate. He sat up and shaded his eyes with one hand as he looked at the brushes from where Justice always emerged after a run.

Paul heard Justice first. The heavy thud of paws on the ground, then silence before the unnerving sound of him shifting. Jesus, it sounded like it hurt.

Justice emerged minutes later, sweaty and sexy and so beautiful in his masculinity that it made Paul’s heart race. “How was your run?”

Justice walked over, his cock already hardening, bobbing with every step. Paul dragged his gaze up, following Justice’s treasure trail to his sculpted abs, then up farther to his taut nipples. By the time he reached Justice’s face, his own erection was begging for attention.

“We need to talk.”

“God damn it,” Paul grumbled. “Four words sure to kill a hard-on.”

Justice snorted and held a hand out to help him up. “Sorry. Didn’t have an adverse reaction on my dick, though.”

“Mine either,” Paul admitted, “But it’s making me nervous as hell. Nothing fun ever follows those words.” He slipped one hand in Justice’s. “What’s wrong?”

“Let’s go inside,” Justice murmured as he surveyed the area.

That in itself unnerved Paul. “Okay.”

Once they were in the cabin—Justice’s this time—Paul leaned against the locked door and pulled Justice to him for a kiss.
