Hand in hand walking through the forest, Juliet asked questions about his life while he sidestepped as many of them as he could. Something happened that he wasn’t telling her. Something in his past haunted him to this day. In order for him to heal from the pain, he needed to get the poison, the toxin, of the memories out.

Now he wanted to know everything about her. She really was boring. She told him about her job at the snow company which included measuring snow height as well as stats on glaciers. “Well, I almost died twice.”

He jerked around so quickly, she nearly lost her footing on the rocky slope.

“Died? Twice?” he breathed, grabbing her shoulders. He may have said only two words, but his eyes told her so much more. She saw fear, panic, concern, but mostly she saw love. Was it possible to fall head over heels in twenty-four hours? Well, she just did.

Juliet wrapped her arms around his neck and kissed him for all she was worth. She wanted him to know she loved him, too, by her actions. He pressed her against him and he felt so good. His body heat radiated out the collar of his coat. The smell of pine, musk, fresh air. He was good enough to eat. If she got her way, tonight she would be full of him in more ways than one.

He pulled away from the kiss much too soon for her taste. Why was he always stepping back from her? Any other man would’ve nailed her to a tree twice already. Was she mistaken about seeing love in his eyes? No, he was her mate. He was born to love her. If Raven made up all this shifter crap and fed her a line of bullshit, she would so kill her best friend, dragon mates or not.

He continued to guide her through the forest for at least an hour. He said he wanted to show her something, but she wondered if he’d forgotten about that.

“Tell me how you almost died once,” he asked.

“Well. . .” Juliet went into the story about her discovering mercury poisoning in the folks of Antler. She had to admit it was rather stupid to confront the man causing the problem head on with accusations. But that was the kind of person she was. No beating around the bush, small talk crap. It was get down to business and fix the hitch right now.

Right after that, she found herself locked up in the back room of the sheriff’s office for a week until Raven rescued her.

After relaying that scary time in her life, Tevrik remained quiet. Something bothered him, but he wasn’t sharing. The reason why smacked her upside the head. He’d been living alone for over a decade. He wasn’t used to talking to others to work out problems. Duh. They’d have to work on that. Communication was the most important aspect of a relationship. Well, after sex.

The woods were starting to get darker. The sun had traveled its short distance, ready to take its rest for the night.
