Chapter Fourteen

She showered alone, all the while wishing Devlin had joined her. Shower sex was something she wanted to experience at least once in her life. But he was right. If he’d been with her, all naked and soapy, she wouldn’t have been able to keep her hands off him.

After drying off, she dressed in clean clothes. If they had to make a run for it, she didn’t want to be caught naked, or even half naked. Before she pulled on a purple T-shirt, she glanced over her shoulder and into the mirror. The bruises on her back weren’t fully faded, but they appeared to be improved. Or maybe that was wishful thinking. Either way, she felt better than she had since the attack. Even her arm wasn’t bothering her. She’d removed the gauze and covered it with a large bandage to keep from pulling the stitches.

There was no sign of Devlin in the bedroom, but his bag was packed and there was no sign of any of his belongings lying around. Not even the ripped shirt and missing buttons. What was it like to go through life never leaving a trace of yourself behind? He had to have a home somewhere. A place where he kept the stuff that mattered to him. A place he could relax and let down his guard. Right?

Shivering, she pulled on her sweatshirt. There was a bloodstain on the arm, but there wasn’t anything she could do about it. It wasn’t as if she had a lot of choices. She hated to leave the comfortable house. It was a haven. Sharing a space, even temporarily, with someone she cared about was different from living alone.

Shoving aside the disappointment, she stowed her belongings in her bags. It had been twenty-four hours since she’d checked her email. She took out her phone and turned it on, her thumb hovering over the email app. It was strange to be so out of touch. She always promptly returned queries from clients or potential ones, excited about the possibilities.

For the first time in her adult life, it was difficult to generate any enthusiasm for her work. Kinda hard when there were werewolves stalking you. A woman needed priorities. And staying alive was at the top of the list. She turned off her phone and tossed it back into the bag before heading for the kitchen.

Devlin was seated at the table, a mug of coffee in front of him and another by what she considered her chair. Unlike her, he had his phone in hand.

“Any news?” She slipped into her seat.

“No.” He turned off the device and tucked it in his pocket.

They’d been thrown together in a life-and-death situation, but there was so much about him that was a mystery. “What do you do? For a living? Do you get paid for—” She waved her hand in the air. “What you do?”

“If you’re asking if the packs pay me to handle their rogue problem, then yes.”

She was having coffee and chatting with a paid assassin.
