CHAPTER Eleven

Sven agreed to babysit for the evening so that Mia, Avery, Frank, and I could go Harbor Hammer hunting. I wanted Mia to go and, as she was still sick to some extent, she wanted Frank to come. I wasn’t terribly fond of the notion, since he could have just fixed her. In her opinion, he could inspire us to find the Hammer.

I also wasn’t fond of bringing Avery, either. But since he had gotten nearly eaten and spent an entire day out of commission, he seemed to think he had time to make up for. Consequently, he shadowed me pretty hard. I think he would have followed me into the bathroom, had I allowed it.

So, off we paraded. I had changed into my siren wear, a pair of boot cut jeans and a lingerie-style, silk shirt done in a shade of nearly black red. Over that, I wore a short, black, leather jacket, which couldn’t have been more feminine in its cut and had a corset style back. The jeans had red silk cutouts in the pockets, which tied the outfit together without matching too much. The black boots provided a concession to the weather, but the three inch heels on the snow and ice covered sidewalks could prove lethal if I fell on my butt.

Altogether though, I felt like someone other than Janie Smith when I dressed in siren clothes. I mussed the silver hair. Styling it was out, other than that. Chance had funded the makeover, but then again I would not have needed a makeover if it had not been for Chance. For the second time, I felt him as if he stood beside me. Right there, breathing on my neck and whispering in my ear. And if I hadn’t?

I shut that link down as fast as it had opened and shut him out. The easy connection had to be some sort of side effect of whatever I had done earlier. I did not like it.

Mia stared at me funny so I put on a big smile and sped up my walk. We entered Brennan’s as our starting point, apt as it was where I’d left off the night before. A wave of sound pulsed around us, music and laughter, talk and the hum of humans in general.

The sun had only begun to set. Vance had probably not awakened yet. How long after he rose would someone tell him that I had landed in the middle of Odd Stuff with a half-naked man on top of me in a compromising position? Would he believe whoever shared that damning information?

Chance teased at my mind again, and I wondered if the connection went two ways. I searched for him down that treacherous line. He stood in water. Hot and steamy, it sluiced down his body in rivulets. He must have been showering, a terribly ordinary thing for him to be doing. His hands slid down his smooth, firm chest, trailing bubbles. I watched and I saw—

When he felt me spying, he reached out and snagged me before I could escape.
