They’d spent most of the day in her apartment, though he’d happily let her send him on errands around the neighborhood while she reviewed her class choices for the upcoming semester. During his excursions, he scouted the area around her apartment building, ranging several blocks in every direction. A picnic meal sat in the backseat of his truck, along with some blankets and a pillow. He’d found her favorite wine and packed it along with an entire case of water.

It took nearly two and half hours to reach the destination he had in mind. The area was a private reserve and locked after sundown, but Mason knew a guy who knew a guy—he had a code for the gate. Once onto the property, he drove slowly down the obvious trail, until he was able to park a good mile from the perimeter.

Excitement thrummed in his blood. The setting sun left the sky a spectacular splash of oranges, yellows, reds and deeper-hued purples as day ceded to night. On the eastern horizon, a fat moon already rose. Shutting off the engine and the lights, he listened to the quiet.

The absolute absence of vehicle noises and freedom from the near constant buzz of humanity and streetlights thrilled him. In the distance, animals moved through the underbrush. When he opened the car door and his scent mingled with the cooling air, they moved away from him.

Dressed in jeans and a chambray shirt with long sleeves she was already rolling up, Lexi snorted. “It’s still eighty degrees out here.” He’d insisted on proper hiking boots with ankle supports. Nearer to her, the layer of deep woods bug spray she’d put on made him want to sneeze, but better that than letting the insects nibble on her skin.

Would he be able to coax her into a midnight swim? The gorge had a spring fed lake that was still deep despite the drought.

Lexi laughed. “And I have no idea what you’re thinking now, buster. But if you want to run, we have to walk first. Remember?”

Stealing a kiss, he nibbled on her plump lower lip and sighed. Lexi belonged to the night. Her cocoa skin possessed a glow even in the deepening darkness. A midnight lover carved from the perfect… His wolf scraped impatiently inside of him. They could admire their lover and walk at the same time. “You have your flashlight?”

“Yes.” She patted the tool belt he’d fashioned for her. It held her flashlight, cell phone—not that it would work out here—and a GPS locator. “I already marked the truck.
