CHAPTER FOURTEEN

~

Mae stalked in through the front door and used her magic to slam it shut behind her. There was a dull thud, and she winced, wondering if the door had truly hit him, but she wasn’t waiting around to find out. She kept on going – through the living and towards the kitchen.

“Now look,” Wade said, following on her heels and making her not feel so guilty about the whole door thing if he’d recovered that fast. “This might be our land…”

“Our?” Mae snorted a chuckle.

“Well, as my mate…”

“Oh no, Mr Moneybags,” Mae said, pushing open the kitchen door, sidestepping the counter and going straight for the kettle. A nice hot chocolate would do the trick, but if he didn’t have that, then anything hot, she still felt a little bone-cold even after the track back up the mountain, but she put that down to fearing for her, and then Hazel’s lives.

“Moneybags…?”

“What’s yours is yours,” she assured him, but she didn’t look at him as she searched the cupboards for cups and cocoa. “I work in a store with a machine that goes beep all day, the muscles in one arm are probably bigger than the other, but what I don’t have is land. My little cottage is rented, and you could fit quite a few of them in this place.”

Wade folded his arms across his chest and frowned. “So, you have a chip on your shoulder about folk with money?”

“I do not. I like people with money, they pay my wages,” Mae tossed back, and then she stopped and sighed. “Do you have hot chocolate?” she asked, feeling a little more tired than normal, even after working all day.

Mountain air, him, and almost dying really took it out of you.

Wade stepped up behind her and reached around her to the cupboard next to the stove. He could feel her body even through the padding of her jacket, a jacket that still scented of his sister, but his mate’s scent was so much stronger, and he hated that he liked it so much.

“Chocolate,” he said beside her ear, but it was the way that he said it like he was tempting her to perform a sinful act – at least, that was how it sounded to her ears, or maybe it was just her imagination; it did seem to be running riot now that he was that close.

Mae didn’t move, didn’t breathe, and all she could do was place her hands down on the counter in front of her and hope to hell her panties didn’t have a mind of their own and drop around her ankles. Of course, they’d have to take her jeans with them, but she thought that might just be on the cards too.

Then he took a step or two back, and she thought it felt like a mile away, but she could still feel him there. It was as if all of her senses were on overdrive and he’d somehow imprinted on them.
