I drop the towel on the edge of the mat and begin to warm up with a small shifting of my weight from side to side. “Won’t complain.”

“Do you ever?”

A lighthearted smile crosses my lips. “I choose not to.”

“Yeah, yeah, Hippie Poppins. I know. You’d rather be one with the light side than come to the dark where it is rumored we have cookies and brownies now.”

We lightly giggle together.

Suddenly, there’s movement from the congregation in the corner, and the centerpiece is revealed.

My jaw drops. “That’s Chance.”

“As in the Chance?”

“Yes.”

“As in charity Chance?”

“Yes.”

“As in the best sex I’ve ever had, Chance?”

“Not sure I said that last one.”

“Definitely sure you didn’t have to.”

I try to stop my face from flushing at more than the excruciating heat.

“So, that’s the boyfriend….”

“Labels,” my voice quietly scolds.

We don’t officially have one…or at least I don’t think we do. I’m not even completely sure I’m the only one he’s dating. We don’t discuss those things. We just…get together. Hang out. Laugh. Get naked. Get physical and enjoy the moments we’ve managed to steal from our mismatched lives. As much as I want to be the girlfriend, the forever girl, the happily ever after, I’m not so sure that’s what he wants. Why push it when I can just enjoy it? Why force commitment when it’s clear he’s happy as is?

One woman, who I’m unfamiliar with, gives his bicep a playful push.

Her blatant flirting has me grinding my teeth.

“Lord have mercy, is that jealousy I see on your face?”

Quickly, I spin on my heels towards the mirror and begin to fidget with my hair. “No! Of course not. There’s no need for jealousy in life, Rae. There is plenty for everyone.”

My best friend sneers. “Really? Even now? With Middle Aged Britney sticking her cougar talons into your man’s arm?”

“Birds have talons. Cougars have claws.”

Her hands drop onto her hips. “Yeah, well, how about you find yours and go stake your claim?”

The suggestion has me shifting uncomfortably on the balls of my feet.

Is he really mine to claim? I mean, I know my inner wolf is growling and preparing to draw blood, but that’s a little irrational, isn’t it? What if The Cosmos doesn’t have us putting labels on each other because we’re merely stepping stones to other places? What if that cradle robber over there is where he was supposed to be led?

Rae snaps her fingers to grab my attention. “Look, Pushy, the Pushover Dragon, regardless if you two are having trouble in the name game phase of your relationship, he is obviously here for you. That action speaks much louder than any bullshit title ever could.”

Her point is met with a slow nod.

She tosses her head their direction. “Go.”

There’s no hesitation in me this time. I swiftly cross the room to where they’re surrounding him and part the sea. Before anyone has the opportunity to question my actions, I dart to the tips of my toes and smash our lips together. Chance softly groans at the impact at the same time I wind my arms around his waist.
