Chapter Four

The murmur of voices from the hallway as I came out of my own bathroom into my room made me pause in pulling on my new shirt, and I moved over to the door, crouching low to better hear through the crack below.

The walls had all been made as soundproofed as possible, but doors had still had to have enough room to swing over the carpet without getting stuck, so there was enough of a gap at the bottom to make it possible to hear through them if you were determined, and since Lane and I were the only ones at this end of the hall, I was very curious as to who would be down here.

"I know you have a couple days off coming up," I heard Darian say, and I curled my lip in disgust. I truly hated that man, and I hated the way Lane looked right after one of their conversations. "But we're having a last minute get together this weekend and we're going to need all the help we can get. Do you think you can postpone your plans?"

I managed to keep my growl at bay, but just barely. The man posed it as a question, like Lane actually had a choice, but all three of us knew it wasn't. If he wanted Lane to be there this weekend, Lane would be there.

"Of course," Lane said easily, even though I knew he was dying inside at the prospect of sitting through anther of these people's events.

"Great. I knew I could count on you, Lane."

I frowned, not liking anything about this little situation. I waited until the man was well and truly down the hallway before slipping out of my door and into Lane's. As expected, Lane was pacing the floor with agitated strides, and I closed the door behind me, taking a moment just to watch him.

Mate. It was both unbelievable and completely expected. I'd known since the first time I met him that there was something special about that man, and within a few short minutes, I'd started to suspect our bond, but with the necessity of his delphinium to keep his scent hidden and therefore harder to track by shifters, I myself hadn't been able to scent him. Because of how the delphinium for agents was made, specially blended to cover the wearer's unique scent, even up close with my nose pressed to his neck, I couldn't scent the man.

But his taste. Fuck. Kissing him had been like licking a fucking lightning bolt. His flavor had been glorious, and the way he'd attacked my mouth like he was trying to punish it, had made my whole body come alive.

He turned, his eyes meeting mine, and I could see the hesitation as he completely overthought his next move and whether or not he should come to me or pretend like what we did earlier didn't happen.

I smirked, shaking my head and moving over to him, pulling him against my body immediately, and pressing his head down onto my shoulder.
