Chapter Nine

Daisy quickly perked up, her curiosity spiking to an all-time high. She had a million and one questions, but didn’t want to come off sounding stupid, nor was it her intent to offend him or Gerri with her silly curiosities. “Are you sure?”

Threads of uncertainty tugged at her mind, because she had no idea what was considered proper etiquette with shifters, but how was a girl to know if she didn’t ask?

Calder managed to quash her fears with a soft smile. “Absolutely. Why don’t we do this, so we can get to know one another? You ask me a question, then I’ll ask you a question in return. We’ll work on a quid pro quo kind of system.”

Daisy mulled over his offer. It seemed fair enough. Besides, it wasn’t like she had anything to hide; her life up to this point had been boring as hell. “Okay, that sounds fair. Why don’t we grab a bowl of stew first and ask questions over dinner?”

“Perfect!” Daisy bit her bottom lip, watching as Calder stood and stretched before crossing the room to the cabinets. Her eyes roamed greedily once again over the expanse of his backside. Her breath caught in her throat when he reached up to grab a couple of bowls from the shelf, his tight black T-shirt killing her with each stretch across the muscles that flexed and rippled with every move he made.

“You’re going to have some too, right?”

“Yep, sorry. I’m coming.” Ha! I wish! she thought. She had never been so turned on just by sitting next to a man, but there was something about the sexy shifter that called to her like no other ever had. One glance in his direction, one sexy smile was all it took for her hormones to kick in and demand they be given full attention.

She snapped out of her lust-induced haze long enough to give the stew one last stir, then fill their bowls to the top while Calder filled two glasses with ice and water from the fridge.

A few minutes later, and after they both settled at the table, Daisy wondered anew where she should start.

“This is really good, by the way,” Calder said after his first bite of the meaty stew. “Ask away.” He motioned for Daisy to start off the first round of questions.

Blurting out the first question that popped into her mind, she started with. “Can you really turn into an animal?”

Daisy gasped as Calder pushed his chair away from the table and stood. Shocked at her own impudence, she quickly apologized. “I’m sorry, of course you can. It’s just that with me being fully human, I’ve never seen a shifter—well, shift. All of this is so new to me and so fascinating, my human mind is having a hard time processing all the majik that must surround your life.”

The atmosphere in the room changed, and before she could say another word, a cool breeze whipped through the kitchen. The spot where Calder stood shimmered with majik that made the hair on her arms stand on end.
