I’d had to listen to her pacing for at least an hour. The woman must have worn a hole in the antique rug, but then she’d already killed another priceless heirloom- so I wrote that off too.

I wanted to ease her mind and yet I wasn’t entirely sure how. If I’d had the luxury of time on my side then it could have been a gradual thing, as it was I now had less than forty eight hours and counting to make her mine.

“Charm offensive,” Shamus caught me off guard again and I groaned inwardly. Either the man had become super stealthy after all of these years or I wasn’t paying enough attention. I guessed the later was true- but in my defence, I’d never had a mate before.

“Says you,” I grunted back to the sound of his deep chuckle. Someone was enjoying my agony, and it certainly wasn’t me.

“She’s just a woman, and you’re just a man, so go be manly and charm the panties off of her.” Shamus’s words made sense. I’d never had a problem with women before, but then they’d never known what I was before.

“She’s just a scared rabbit and I’m just a big bad bloodthirsty monster hunting her down for nefarious reasons,” I offered a summary of the world as my mate saw it. “I’m thinking that puts me on the back foot.”

“Slightly,” Shamus offered.

“Undoubtedly,” I shot back.

“Or maybe you could use that to your advantage,” he wasn’t making any sense.

“Have you been in my cellar at the good Scotch?”

“Not a drop of it, but now I know where you keep it,” he gave me the kind of grin that I knew would send women wild for him. The cheek of the man was there in his eyes and women loved that sort of thing.

“Take a bottle and leave before Bruce comes back. This isn’t your fight.”

“Now, there you go again,” he shook his head at me. “What are friends for?”

“To borrow money from,” I offered back.

“I never say no to money,” he conceded that point.

“You’re Irish, enough said.”

“Says the Scotsman.” He had another good point.

“She’s not your problem.”

“Naima would have said otherwise.” I could see that pain etched back onto his face.

“Getting yourself killed won’t bring her back, Shamus.” I had to wonder if that’s what it was. “Do you have a longing to join her?”

“Wouldn’t you if it was your mate?” Shamus asked. “But, I’m not looking for it, Mac. I just don’t fear it anymore, because I know I won’t be leaving her behind, I’ll be joining her.”

That sounded logical.

“So, you’re determined to be the caped crusader, just without the snazzy pants over tights?” His eyes flashed with humour.

“I quite like the idea of spandex,” he chuckled. It was deep, and warm, and welcome- for a second there I could almost have forgotten that my life had turned to crap.

“I welcome your help, and I thank you for it.” God, now I did sound Scottish again.
