FIFTEEN

ALEJO

They talked half the night, mostly about his experiences as a shifter. How he had been separated from his family, first his father, then his mother, during the days when keeping track of people was far more difficult. He readily answered her questions, hoping that she would in her turn be a bit less reticent, but he was not about to push. Each thing she revealed about herself was a cause for celebration, for it meant she was beginning to trust him. Even if he’d gone about everything “back asswards,” as Godiva often said. With Wendy—

MATE! roared the serpent.

—life was going to be one long conversation. And kisses. And cuddles, and …

More incandescent nights.

The first good thing? He no longer had to curb the instinct to connect with her by the mate bond. As they lay in bed in one another’s arms, he opened his mind to her, and the sweetness and trust of her emotions washed back over him so strongly that the placid contentment of moments ago fired up into a supernova of heat. And when he turned his head, he saw that heat blazing in her eyes as she reached for him.

Their nights had been good, oh, there was no doubt about that. Now, with desire and heat and the frantic need echoed back and forth between them, they both spiraled higher than either had ever believed possible, until they exploded together, spiraling down and down into slumber, still locked into one another’s arms.

But when he woke, it was to the practicality of day. The night’s passion—the joy intensified through the mate bond—lingered, leaving him sensitized to her emotions. Specifically a thread of worry beneath the happiness that made him smile.

He was fairly certain he knew the cause of that worry. It wasn’t so much Sam finding them together, it was her fear of her ex finding out, and making trouble.

Alejo had to clench down hard on the desire to go find that ass-clown and shake some sense into him. He managed to squelch his fury, though it took every ounce of will, when he thought about how much hurt Bill Champlain had caused Wendy. What to do about him was Wendy’s call.

Besides, he had his own problem looming: Oriane would be arriving tomorrow. They had this one day to prepare.

Knowing that his parents retired early for preference, and that the east coast was three hours later than the west coast, Alejo had waited for morning to call Godiva and Rigo. Sitting in his quiet room, he called them.

The result could have been predicted. Godiva’s happy squawk nearly obliterated his phone’s speakers, and he wondered if the sound echoed all over the house.

Once he’d dealt with all their questions by repeating what had happened, and then adding “I don’t know yet,” several times in a row, he ended after promising them another report as soon as Oriane arrived.

Godiva said before they hung up, “Part of me wants to get in gear and fly out there as fast as I can.
