Chapter Seven

The sun was painting a glorious canvas of pale rose, violet, and amber across the morning sky when Mika at last received the text from Wolfe that he was waiting at the edge of the road.

Not that he was eager to leave Bailey, he acknowledged, reluctantly untangling himself from her warm body so he could pull on his clothes.

It’d been a night that would be seared into his mind forever.

Not just because of the sex.

Although that would have a starring role in his memories.

Hell, his body was still quivering from the raw, earth-shattering pleasure they’d shared.

But more important had been the sheer intimacy of their lovemaking.

Ten years ago they’d had plenty of passion, but both of them had been too young and caught up in their own insecurities and selfish needs to be able to truly share their hearts.

It’d taken the opportunity to understand how barren life was without each other to appreciate what they’d nearly lost.

Not that they’d discussed their future. He grimaced as he dropped a gentle kiss on her forehead, careful not to wake her, before he silently left the cottage.

No. There was no way in hell he was going to press Bailey to commit to returning to Valhalla with him.

Did that make him a coward?

Maybe. But he didn’t give a shit.

Nothing mattered beyond rebuilding the relationship that he’d once feared shattered beyond repair.

They had plenty of time to decide what happened next.

First he had to finish his current job.

Traveling through the barrier, he forced his way through the thick undergrowth that surrounded Bailey’s cottage.

Two steps from the narrow road, Wolfe abruptly stepped from the shadows, his black hair tied at his nape and his lean body covered by a pair of black jeans, black T-shirt, and black shit-kickers.

Nothing complicated about the Tagos.

He looked like a badass because he was a badass.

End of story.

“About time you got here,” Mika muttered.

“Hmm. You’re looking . . .” A smile curved Wolfe’s lips as his dark gaze studied Mika’s face. “Well satisfied. It wouldn’t have anything to do with a pretty young healer, would it?”

Mika stiffened, struck by a sudden suspicion. “Did you know Bailey was here?”

Wolfe shrugged, the cresting sunlight shimmering against the white streak at the front of his hair.

“There are few things I don’t know.”

Well, shit.

It was rare for Mika to be played.

No. Not rare.

Never.

But there was no mistaking the smug expression that settled on Wolfe’s lean face.

The bastard had known exactly what was waiting for Mika when he came to Louisiana.

“And that’s why you chose to send me to track Jacob,” he growled.

“I was tired of watching you mope around because your pride wouldn’t allow you to go after your woman.”

Mika scowled. “I don’t mope.”

“You’re right. You brood.” Wolfe gave a dramatic shudder. “Even worse.”

Mika rolled his eyes. “Nice.”

“Aren’t you going to thank me?”

Mika was honest enough to admit that he owed his friend more than a thank-you. Being able to have a second chance with Bailey was priceless.

Not that he was about to admit it to Wolfe.
