I looked down at my naked body—it was different. I was different. Different than the shape Drew knew as Monica, though I still bore many similarities. I was younger. In my teens with stringy blond hair that fell past my breasts. And speaking of breasts—these were not nearly as impressive as the ones I shifted. They were perky, but at least a size smaller.

My eyes shot up to Drew’s, and I immediately covered myself with both hands.

Drew was entranced. Eyes not on my body but on my face. With trembling fingers, he reached over, brushing the dirty hair from my face and tracing my jaw.

Drew was also naked, only not nearly as ashamed of his body as I. He swallowed visibly and reached for something hanging on a ratty wall next to us. He passed the cloth to me, and I quickly scrambled to shove my arms inside, wrapping the satin fabric around my body.

“Earthly possessions can’t pass through the gateway.”

I nodded and licked my lips. My throat was suddenly parched even though I knew rationally that I was not a being that needed water to survive.

He studied my face another moment. “This is you,” he whispered. “Your human form. It’s . . . it’s almost exactly the woman I know, but—but . . .”

“. . . younger?” I finished for him.

He nodded. “Everyone so far who is a shapeshifter looks massively different than they did as a human. You—”

I nibbled the inside of my cheek, shifting my eyes away from him. “I didn’t want to forget where I came from.”

The heat was not only sweltering but thick and heavy, draining my body of any moisture or coolness it could maintain. The humidity sat on me like a wool blanket in the middle of summer.

“C’mon.” Drew gestured to the one-room cottage beside us. “I require an area for me to get water while I’m here. It’ll be the only reprieve you get for a while.”

I followed his lead as he opened a heavy door, holding it open for me. “You take all your bounties here?”

He winked, but his smile wasn’t exactly full. “Only the beautiful ones.”
