Chapter Eight

Once the last student had gone, Rio walked over to Fire’s classroom. He found his mate pacing back and forth, talking to himself. Fire’s voice was so low that Rio couldn’t make out what he was saying, but he could see agitation in every move the man made.

“Need a ride?”

Fire’s head snapped up as his eyes grew a little round. The expression made Rio’s teeth grind. His mate had been acting the same way at lunchtime but wouldn’t say what was wrong. He was getting really tired of the man’s secrets.

“Yeah, okay.” Fire moved stiffly over to his desk and grabbed his light jacket from the back of the chair.

Just as they were walking out of the room, Mr. Fishman appeared. Once again his eyes zeroed in on Fire. “We need to have a talk, Mr. Veneto.”

“He can’t,” Rio said before he knew the words were going to leave his mouth. “Fire has an appointment with the mayor.”

Mr. Fishman’s face mottled with anger. He could tell the man wanted to argue, but knew better of it. The mayor was a very influential man in this town and anyone with half a brain knew not to step on Maverick’s feet…including Mr. Fishman.

What a douchebag.

“You will meet me in my office after school tomorrow, Mr. Veneto.” Mr. Fishman turned and walked away, leaving Rio standing there wondering what the hell was going on.

Turning to his mate, he asked, “What was that all about?”

Fire shrugged. “Hell if I know. If you haven’t noticed, the man is a little nutty in the brain.”

“Come on, darlin’, let’s go get something to eat. I’m starving.” Rio walked from the classroom, Fire following. Once again he thought about how bizarre Mr. Fishman was acting toward Fire. Notably, Fire’s classes had improved. It no longer sounded like a zoo, and Fire was getting the knack of planning the activities for his classes. If anything, Mr. Fishman should be backing off. Ever since the conversation Rio had with the principal in his office, Mr. Fishman had not asked him again about Fire.

The principal may not think Fire the right man for the job, but no parents had complained and the children seemed happy. They were behaving and listening. What more did the principal want? Rio still thought the guy homophobic. The guy was a little too high on his horse for Rio’s taste.

They both got into Rio’s truck, and then Rio pulled from the parking lot, heading toward the diner. “Care to tell me why you’ve been unfocused all day?”

Fire’s hands fluttered to his throat as he gazed out of the passenger window. “There’s nothing wrong. I’m just trying to get the hang of this teaching thing.”

Rio knew a lie when he heard one and it pissed him off. “I refuse to be mated to someone who doesn’t trust me.” His statement was blunt, harsh, but the bold truth.

Fire’s eyes seem to blaze as his head slowly turned toward Rio. The man looked demonic. “I don’t even really know you, do I, Mr.
