Oh no. Big mistake.

I knew it as soon as I headed in for the kiss. His unique scent filled my nostrils, and I should have pulled back. I didn’t.

I expected this skin to be rough when I swept my lips over his cheek. It wasn’t.

I assumed his scruff would scratch my skin. It didn’t.

I thought I’d go in for the thank-you kiss and be done with it. I couldn’t.

Instead, I wanted to place my lips on his, to savor his taste and to have that bear-shifter scent wrap itself around me, never letting go. My body trembled as I wrestled with the friendly kiss on the cheek that had become so much more—to me. Gage, though, might’ve been ready to fight me off as I got in his personal space.

His warm breath billowed over my ear and his breathing ramped up, the speed matching my own. I tried to pull back, but I wanted more. More what? A kiss, yes. To see him naked? Done that. To have him inside me? Oh yeah. For him to be at my side for the rest of my life? I thought that was a yes.

Using all of my strength, I tore myself away from Gage, not daring to check out his expression but also wanting to see if it reflected what I was feeling.

“I… sorry. I just…” Look up, I told myself. Look into his eyes. If they’re empty of affection, that will be your answer. But if there was a flicker of what I was feeling, there was hope.

Lifting my head, I searched his expression, hoping my feelings were reciprocated. Gage’s eyes were wide, but he hadn’t opened the car door or leaped out. He didn’t wipe my saliva off his cheek. His chest was still heaving and his lips were parted. He tugged his ear, something I’d not witnessed previously.

What I should have done was tell him how I was feeling. But this was Gage. The man who was horrified when told he and I were fated to be together. The guy who lived alone in the woods and didn’t plan on changing that. The person who’d become my friend and taught me not only about the forest but about humanity.

But I took the easy way out. “Ummm… I’ll see you soon.”

He nodded. There was no indication he wondered when I’d be back. I was aiming for a month, but that might be extended. Gage had neither a phone nor a computer, so I couldn’t get in touch with him. And I was pretty sure the Riverford post office didn’t deliver mail to his cabin.

There would just be silence. I liked silence when we were together, but not if we were miles apart.

“Bye.” I stood on the sidewalk, watching him drive away, the red of his tail lights fading the further he drove, and when he turned a corner, I wiped my hand over my eyes, wanting to rid myself of my tears. This was silly. Four weeks. It was nothing.
