Chapter Sixteen – Joanna

“That was fun.” Joanna’s cheeks flushed pink as excitement threaded through her veins. Running through the forest with Shawn had been exhilarating to her wolf and that thrill had passed on to her human form.

“It was.” Shawn pulled open the hotel lobby door and held it for her.

He’s a gentleman, her wolf was practically drooling over their mate.

You and Shawn’s cougar seemed to get along well, Joanna remarked as she darted into the lobby.

We’re made for each other. Her wolf yawned widely. Now I’m ready for a nap.

As they made their way across the lobby toward the elevator, her phone beeped. “Maybe that’s my boss sending the information I requested.”

“Good timing.” Shawn smiled easily but she sensed he would rather they’d had no distractions for an hour or so.

Joanna sighed. He was probably as hyped up as she was. The thrill of running with his mate through the forest would have ignited a primal need to mate. It certainly had in Joanna.

But the files were important. The whole reason they were here at the hotel was that Yvette needed their help. Fiona needed their help. So too did any other innocent person caught up in whatever criminal activity Yvette had stumbled upon.

It might be way back in the past, her wolf said. You might be hunting ghosts.

It’s not the past when a young woman is still paying the price for what happened to her, Joanna said a little too sharply, her good mood slipping away.

Her wolf huffed but nodded in agreement. Someone should pay. But there is no need to rush into anything. Take your time. Get it right.

When do I not get it right? Joanna asked.

Maybe I should rephrase that, her wolf replied. Don’t get it wrong. Her wolf gave Shawn a sidelong glance. Don’t neglect what is right in front of you, what is real, for a mystery that might take time to unravel.

Joanna sighed once more and put her phone back in her pocket. “It can wait.”

The elevator doors opened, and they stepped inside. Shawn turned around to face the lobby and punched the number four. The doors slid closed, leaving them shut off from the world for a few minutes as the elevator jerked and then began to climb to their floor. The floor where their rented room was. With its wonderfully big bed…

“What’s wrong?” Shawn half turned to look at her.

“Nothing.” She forced a smile onto her face. “Why would anything be wrong?” She sidled up to him and pushed her hands under his jacket, her fingertips massaging his toned abs.

“You looked a little distant.” His mouth curled up on one side and she licked her lips before standing on tiptoes and kissing his crooked smile.

Shawn’s arms folded around her and held her close, his lips moving against hers as she leaned into him. Her stomach clenched and her insides were in knots. Knots of desire that only he could unravel. There was a lot to be said for living in the moment.
