Chapter Twelve

Aaron leaned against the truck—arms crossed and one leg bent with his foot resting against a tire—and watched the door of the ladies’ room. The cat had already been out for a stretch, eaten, and was settled back in the kennel. He hadn’t known how Bast would travel, but she was handling it like a pro.

A man in a black SUV pulled up to an empty gas pump and jumped out, giving Aaron only a cursory glance. Other than the attendant inside, there was no one else around. He hated stopping, but the truck had needed fuel, and they’d both needed to hit the bathroom.

They were already halfway home, making good time on the almost empty highway. He’d kept his speed only a little over the limit, not enough to get him pulled over but enough to cut some time off the trip. He’d texted their current location to both his dad and brother. They’d cross paths soon. He’d rather do it on the road and have them turn around and follow him. Jesse was nervous about meeting them. He’d rather have her safely on Salvation land when that happened.

He pushed away from the side of the truck when the door finally opened. In her jeans and boots and T-shirt with her tattoos exposed, she looked tough and competent and in control. Dark circles under her eyes and a tightening around her mouth told another story. She was tired and strung out on nerves and caffeine.

Hell, he was on edge. Somewhere out there, people were hunting her. She’d held things together and kept herself alive for— He had no idea how long. When had Lottie died? There was so much about Jesse that was a mystery.

Her smile was strained as she reached his side. Needing the physical contact, he eased her into his arms. She sighed and rested her head against his chest. His wolf whined and paced inside him, not liking the situation any more than he did. Both sides of him wanted her safe and happy.

Her hands clutched at the sides of his shirt. She nuzzled her face against him, the action instinctive. Since it spread his scent all over her, he wasn’t about to protest.

He pressed a kiss against her temple, jerking his head around when he felt someone watching. The guy at the gas pump was staring. Aaron narrowed his eyes and gave a low growl, one so low a human wouldn’t hear it, but powerful enough to send a blast of dread through the air toward him. He looked away, hurriedly jumped in his SUV, and peeled out of the lot.

“We’re scaring humans now?” The sparkle in her eyes lightened his heart.

“Didn’t like him looking at you.” He cupped her ass and squeezed. “You’re mine.”

“I doubt he was paying me any attention. He probably wanted to keep an eye on you since you’re so badass.”

He lifted her slightly so her mound pressed against his erection. This wasn’t the time or place, but he couldn’t stop himself from making this small claim on her.
