CHAPTER 14

Is he intimidating, or are you intimidated? There’s a difference.

-Bram to Teller, talking about Shine

SHINE

“I really like your family.”

I grinned at her words.

She was pleasantly drunk, and I was loving the hell out of it.

Well, she had been. Since I’d been pouring water and coffee in her for the last hour, she’d sobered up.

She’d been so carefree and happy, in fact, that I didn’t stop her wandering hands once that night.

Tomorrow, she’d likely feel embarrassed that she was all over me in front of my family.

But today, there was no embarrassment. Just touching.

Touching that I really fucking liked.

“Come on,” I urged as I walked us to my bike. “You ready to go?”

She sighed. “I guess so. I forgot about something I had to do tomorrow. I was reminded a few minutes ago when you were saying goodbye to your mom.”

I instantly disliked her words. I didn’t want to let her go if I didn’t have to.

Which was worrying, because the last time I cared about someone this much, it ended up biting me on the ass.

I tilted my head down to look at her. “Oh yeah? What is it that you have to do?”

She kicked a rock that was in her way, and then promptly tripped over said rock in the next instant.

She cursed cutely before saying, “First, doctor’s appointment. Then, I have to go to my parents’. Tomorrow is my dad’s birthday, and I promised I’d drive over for the day before I have to go back to work on Sunday.”

My stomach clenched at the thought of her leaving.

She’d be gone for days this time.

“Bummer,” I grumbled as I picked up her helmet and put it on her head. “How long is this hitch?”

She sighed. “Only down and back. But it’s a long flight. Six hours. A two-hour layover, and then six hours right back. I have a half a day rest before I fly out that night to New York, stay there a day, and then fly back. Then I’ll have three days off.”

So she’d be gone all weekend.

That fucking blew.

“Damn,” I grumbled. “But are you sure you don’t want to stay the night with me?”

She laughed. “I wish I could. But I need to pack, wash my uniforms, and feed my animals.”

“Feed your animals?” I asked.

“I have a cat… and an iguana. Polka, my cat, has a continuous feeder, but I’ll still need to fill it up today or he won’t have enough to get him through the weekend,” she admitted. “And my iguana… well, he eats nonstop, but I can stock him up today, and he should be okay.”

I pursed my lips. “Invite me over to yours.”

Her lips turned up into the sweetest smile I’d seen yet. “Callum, do you want to come over to my apartment and spend the night with me?”

Fuck yes, I did.

“Yes.” I hesitated. “Unless it’s going to cause trouble with the ex…”

I wasn’t too sure if it would cause Teller to get pissed off, but more so, I didn’t like the fact that it might cause her any extra grief when she most certainly didn’t need it.
