Chapter 8

Jessie held Dana’s hand as the two of them walked up the front walkway into the Fate Mountain Lodge. The feeling of her warm palm in his as the last of the summer sun tipped toward the western horizon sent a thrill of desire and longing through his chest.

He wanted Dana more than he’d wanted any woman. More than he’d ever wanted anything. It had only taken a moment to change his entire perspective on mating and love. It still blew his mind that he could change so quickly. All his adult life, he’d been a confirmed bachelor. He’d never wanted it any other way.

After seeing the way his father had fallen apart in front of him and his brothers after their mother’s death, it had made him want to swear off love forever. One flash from Dana’s hazel eyes had changed all of that. The swish of her curves and the flush of her cheeks when she looked up at him, it made his inner bear roar with need.

In all the time he’d spent dating human females, his inner bear had never shown much interest. Yes, he had his needs, like any man. Most shifters avoided entanglements with women who were not their fated mates. But Jessie had jumped in with both feet. Human males didn’t bother themselves with fated mates. Why should he? It had always seemed like a weakness in his race. It was the thing that kept shifters from taking over the world. Mating took huge amounts of energy and in the past, Jessie considered it a waste of time.

His entire world view had shifted in just a few hours and the change was startling and exciting in so many ways. He was just glad he hadn’t been confronted by the entire Kincaid clan. He wouldn’t hear the end of the teasing now that he’d found and fallen for Dana.

They walked through the lobby, finding Kelly Green at the front counter. She smiled at Jessie and he nodded in her direction as he pressed his hand to the small of Dana’s back. They turned to the entrance of the restaurant and met the hostess who greeted them.

“I have a reservation for Kincaid,” he told the pretty young bear shifter.

“Right this way,” the girl said, pulling two menus from the stack and leading them to a table on the patio overlooking the lake.

The sun was moving toward the horizon over the mountains, and the yellow and orange colors streamed across the sky, reflecting in the silver waters of Lake Fate. Jessie smiled as Dana let out a contented sigh. He helped her into her chair and sat across from her under the shade of the umbrella over their table.

The hostess returned with a bottle of champagne on ice, a basket of crusty French bread, and a dish of butter. She poured their glasses and left them to enjoy the beautiful view. The summer evening was warm and a cool breeze blew up from the lake, cooling the air pleasantly.
