Chapter Nine

Petros watched the clock carefully. Was it broken? It seemed like more than a minute had passed since he last checked. Six o’clock couldn’t seem to come fast enough.

He still couldn’t believe what had happened last night. Kate had come to him. Her actions had hurt him deeply, and he had to admit he had lashed out at everyone around him after he left her in the cabin. He saw he was testing even Christina and Jason’s patience, and he ended up leaving the lake earlier than the rest of the team who had stayed on until evening.

He was sullen and angry the whole weekend. He even let his wolf side take over, exploring the woods of the Blackstone Mountain and letting his animal take control. Anything to escape the pain of his mate’s words and actions.

That was all in the past now. He had made mistakes; they both did. But now was the time to rectify them. That’s why they had to start fresh. No matter how much he wanted to make love to her and claim her, he knew they had to take it slow. Sex was easy; it was everything else that was complicated. But all the misunderstandings would be behind them now.

“Finally,” he muttered when, upon what seemed like his hundredth glance, the clock read one minute before six. Close enough, he thought as he shut down his computer and walked over to Kate’s cubicle. It was difficult, trying not to get too close to her today, but he knew the anticipation only made it worth it.

When he reached her cubicle, he frowned when he didn’t see any sign of her. Her jacket was not hanging off the back of the chair, and her desk was empty. There was a piece of paper on top with his name scrawled over the surface.

Meet you downstairs, it read when he turned it over. It was unsigned, but who else would it be from?

Petros checked in with the overnight crew and made his way to the lobby of the Lennox Corp. Building. He immediately spotted her by the doors, and when he saw what she was wearing, let out a soft groan.

Kate had probably left earlier to change because she definitely was not wearing that when she came into the office this morning. The short, tight black dress showed off her lithe figure and long legs, while the spiked heels emphasized her delicate ankles and calves. Her hair hung down her shoulders, and he noticed she had switched out the piercing in her nose from a clear jewel to one that was blue-green. Her lips were painted red, and she flashed him a wicked smile as he approached.

“This,” he said, lowering his voice. “Is not fair.”

“Oh?” she said. “Who said I played fair?”

He snorted. She wasn’t making this easy, but then again, he didn’t expect her to. “I’ve made reservations at Pistache French Bistro,” he said. “Should we drive out separately?”

“Why don’t we take my car?” she said. “You’ve never ridden in a Mustang, have you?”

“I have not had the pleasure,” he said.
