Chapter Eleven

Something shivered inside Lawrence, tingled him in a way he’d only recently begun to experience—because of Charlotte.

He’d gone toe to toe with his aunts over her. Would fight tooth and claw if anyone dared say anything. And then, in the direct opposite, he was intensely worried. Mating lasted for life, and yet he’d never managed more than a few weeks in a relationship. How would he manage that long?

A good sign was the fact he’d not yet had his fill of her. Would he feel the same way after he did indulge? Or was it possible he’d finally stop wandering?

He wished he could see the future. Trust in the mating bond. But his aunts raised him to be suspicious. To thrive as a single. Except they weren’t truly ever alone. They always had each other. Lawrence used to have Dean at least. And he knew his aunts would never truly leave him. But what he wanted from his Peanut wasn’t something he’d ever craved from anyone before.

It excited. It frightened. It confused.

Why did this have to be so complicated?

He strained, all four of his legs pumping as he followed the snowmobile tracks. It felt good to have the fresh air ruffling his fur after the musty cloy of the cabin. His paws slammed the fresh snow, spraying it into the air in a fine film.

To his surprise, the trail emerged at the farm they’d escaped. The scent of smoke lingered in the air, the house a charred ruin. Someone covering their tracks? Or had he accidentally caused the blaze in his escape? He couldn’t recall, and it was kind of annoying because it incinerated any clues he might have gleaned about who’d taken them.

He didn’t even know the boss lady’s name. Or if she’d died that night.

It also made him wonder if that woman was after him or someone else. Racking his brain and replaying some of the conversations made him realize he’d assumed they were after him, but if he eyed it from a different perspective… It might have been Peter, Peanut’s brother, they were after all along.

If he were involved with the kind of people who thought nothing of kidnapping and truth serums, then that didn’t bode well for Charlotte’s brother’s health or survival.

He shifted and headed for the trunk of the car, knowing they’d have brought him a clothing kit. Charlotte wasn’t saying much, just clutching the blanket and staring at the ruins. She’d shoved her glasses into a pocket for the ride but perched them back on her nose the moment they stopped.

“I take it I didn’t do this on my way out?” he remarked, coming up beside her.

She shrugged. “Not that I recall, but kind of hard to see anything when you’re upside down without glasses on and bouncing like a sack of potatoes being taken for a brisk jog.”

“You are much sexier than a sack of vegetables.”

“Do you have a habit of tossing women on your back and taking off with them?”

“You’d be the first.
