Chapter 19

Gan used long tongs to flip over the steaks and turn the corn. His gaze kept drifting to the lake.

He’d had streams in Wyoming and small ponds near camps, but no large body of water. The Cadell guards feared losing a captive who swam away.

Just looking at the moon’s reflection in the lake brought him a peaceful feeling.

Scarlett leaned close and inhaled. “Smells good. How long before the steaks are done?”

“Cook for you. Raw is okay for me.”

“Ugh. I don’t like super hot, but also not icy cold.”

He grinned.

“What’s so funny?”

“No.”

“What?”

“My words get me in trouble.” Of course, he couldn’t help smiling when he said that.

Her lips tilted with a grin. “Tell me. I won’t get mad at you.”

“You like steak hot. You like shower hot. You like me hot.” He slashed a questionable look at her. “We need condom.”

Her eyes darkened.

Good woman. She had the same idea.

He shared the big shower with her this time and had sex again. He thought about it. Not just sex. Maybe this had been making love. He’d heard others talk about that when no one realized he snuck around the camps.

He’d asked one woman to explain.

She said it was having sex with someone you loved.

He had never experienced love, wouldn’t know what it looked or felt like, but this ache in his chest had to be something important. He shook off the thought. He confused what people said. Scarlett had said he was special to her.

But did her words mean the same to her as his did to him?

He would not ask her about love. Not when she was happy with him. He made problems too often when he spoke.

Still, he didn’t like the idea of leaving Scarlett in a few days, but he couldn’t stay. Once they took care of Fayth and her baby, he had to go or he’d miss his only chance to get away from the Gallize.

Why did just thinking about leaving her hurt?

Stay with me, his tiger said in Gan’s head.

He had not missed the animal, but while he continued to cook the steaks, he asked, Stay with you? What do you mean?

Mate go with me.

Mate? Is that what Gan hadn’t been able to put into words. Was Scarlett his mate? Could she even be his mate?

Would she want to be?

She’d have to run away with him. She had a sister, Jazlyn, and women at a shelter all depending on her.

He could not take her from all of that.

Lifting the steaks and corn off the grill, he turned the knob she’d used to change temperature until the grill turned off. That would have been nice to have in a camp.

Scarlett had the wooden patio table set for the two of them with a candle glowing.

Today had been a gift, too.

He’d never enjoyed one day in the past. Even with the fight inside the barn with bad shifters, he proved he was more than someone to sit and watch. He’d saved his people, protected Scarlett and the female shifters.
