Chapter 13

There was a second, harrowing and forever, where Sara was afraid to move, afraid to breathe, afraid to do anything for fear of shattering the illusion winding around her. She felt warm. She felt safe. She felt whole for the first time in too long. And what made it so truly terrifying was she knew beyond a shadow of a doubt it was completely the doing of the body currently curled around hers.

Every detail of the previous night was etched on her brain. Josh’s request. Her inability to shift. Her panic at accepting Cam’s aid. But she also remembered the calm of his voice, the freedom when she’d finally shifted, the sense of knowing she had nothing to fear from Cam. She remembered the desire to assure him, and she still felt his purring satisfaction on her tongue. Even more, she recalled the easy joy at feeling his body wrapped around hers and the simplicity of falling asleep.

But now she was awake. And Cam couldn’t remain a cat forever.

Opening her eyes, Sara eased out from his more muscular form, leaping to the floor as soon as she was free. She stretched, front legs fully extended as her chest touched the floor, then padded silently to the open door. She only stopped to look back once she was on the threshold.

Cam hadn’t moved. He was still curled into a bow, the empty space in front of him a hole waiting to be filled again. Stretched out on the other side of the bed was Josh, his head buried beneath his pillow.

She didn’t shift until she was in the bathroom. She didn’t want to risk her heavier steps waking either of them up.

What am I doing to do now? she wondered as she lathered the soap between her fingers.

Facing Cam when he was a harmless tabby was one thing. Confronting the face of her attacker on a daily basis was something else entirely.

Sara knew how much Cam was hurting. Even if Josh didn’t make that clear in his actions, she heard it in Cam’s voice, saw it in the fleeting glimpses of him she’d tolerated so far. Spending the night as they had would give him false hope. From the beginning, there had always been a connection between them when it came to their shifting, something innate and powerful and unlike anything she’d ever had before. That was part of how the previous night had been possible.

But Sara didn’t know whether or not she could ignore all the fear in her body and listen to all the logical arguments her head kept throwing at her. This wasn’t the Cam who had hurt her. This wasn’t the Cam who pushed her to her limits. This was the Cam who loved her, and wanted her, and would do anything in his power for her, including giving her the space she had needed when she had first woken up. Her head knew all this. Her heart even knew it, when she didn’t have the vicious mask of terror blinding her to the truth.
