Chapter Ten

Sasha sat on the bed feeling a bit sorry for herself. Here she was with the hottest guy she’d been with in her life, and she was stuck in the body of a bird. She inhaled and tried to put a positive spin on things.

The shower came on in the bathroom. The patter of the water beating against glass filtered through the half-open door, along with a swirl of damp air. It would have been wonderful to join him. She envisioned running her hands over his slick, hard chest and soaping him up.

Huh. What would it be like to have a real relationship with him? She realized she was toying with the possibility. Which was totally crazy given her situation. But if she were herself again? No, she barely knew the man. Still, there was something about him that touched her. Maybe it was the way he cared for her while she was a bird. Maybe if they had a real date she’d know for certain.

The bathroom door pushed fully open and Kianso strolled out with a towel wrapped around his hips. “Sorry. I forgot my clothes.”

As he entered the walk-in closet, Sasha clutched the bedspread with her talons to remain in place. Oooh, she wanted to trail behind him and get another glimpse of those hard planes and perhaps even a peek at his backside when that towel slipped away. That very human part of her didn’t see any harm in wishing.

She gave a long tremulous sigh.

How could he want anything to do with her?

Disappointment sliced through her as he exited the closet fully dressed, handsome as ever, wearing a button-up gray shirt and navy slacks. He carried a pair of dark brown suede penny loafers. The mattress dipped as he sat and slipped on the shoes. She stepped closer, getting a whiff of his freshly showered scent. He smelled good.

She hoped she’d be able to grab a shower this evening.

“Ready?” He paused, looking over his shoulder at her. “Can I get you anything before we go?”

“No. I’m fine.”

He held out a hand for her to step upon. She did, and he placed her on his shoulder. “I’m starting to like having you with me.” His voice was a gentle rumble.

He smelled even better up close. Masculine. Kissable. She rubbed the top of her head along his jaw.

Her days had gotten remarkably better with him near.

It was mid-morning by the time they arrived at the fairgrounds. The temperature gave a hint of fall. Kianso stopped by the farmer’s market near the gate. He purchased some grapes that he thought Sasha might enjoy and a soda for himself.

The turnout was pretty decent. He had to wait in line to get his ticket. Evidently, the proceeds went to a worthy cause: Bridge, crisis counseling for misguidedteens of dual species. He guessed identity issues could get super confusing. What if you were part vampire and part werewolf? Or a mixture of fae and gargoyle?

Or shaman and shifter?

That’s what their children would be if he and Sasha had kids.
