Chapter Eight

For Aiden, having dinner at ten at night wasn’t all that odd. To Keira, it probably was. He was used to eating his last meal well into the night when his job had ended, well mostly ended, for the day and his clients were sleeping. This job was different. Although, it wasn’t really a job anymore. The moment he scented Keira Ellis, this had turned into something personal.

He’d driven for over an hour before he realized how late it was. Keira had fallen asleep in the passenger seat, and his mind had been racing one hundred miles an hour recapping everything. The hard evidence of what they’d endured on her front lawn had been all over her skin and clothes, so he’d woken her up, they’d checked in at a bed and breakfast, and taken turns in the shower. Now they were in the little diner across the street having a meal, and devouring it in silence.

Aiden gobbled down the last of his lamb chop and then gulped the rest of his water. Before the glass could even hit the table, the waitress was at his side filling it again.

“Can I get you anything else?” the waitress asked, batting her eyelashes.

Aiden turned to Keira who’d just finished a sandwich. “What else would you like?”

She shook her head. “I’m fine, thank you. I have a bowl of soup to finish.”

“That will be all,” Aiden replied to the waitress.

“If there is anything else…” she touched his forearm lightly. “…I’ll be right around the corner.”

Right around the corner…

His mate had been living less than three hours away from him, literally right around the corner, and he hadn’t known it. And she was a human at that. She may have been an outsider, but she certainly had ties to his pack by way of her late ex-husband, and coward, Jonathan.

“She likes you,” Keira said, twirling her spoon around in the soup.

“Who?”

“The waitress. Ever since we sat down she’s been staring at you.”

“That doesn’t mean she likes me.”

Keira looked at him disbelievingly. “Are you kidding me? She literally had her breasts in your face.”

He grinned. If he wasn’t mistaken, there was a hint of jealousy, and he thought it was cute. “I didn’t notice.”

“Well, don’t let me be a nuisance.”

“Why have you come to that conclusion?”

She avoided looking him in the face. “You’re a man. I hired you to protect me, but at the same time you have needs as well.”

“Does this mean that you’ve rehired me?”

Her nose wrinkled. “Rehired?”

“Yeah. Earlier in the van you said you wanted to end the contract.”

“I’ve been thinking that I still need your help,” she said, shyly.

“Oh?”

“You have information about what those items really are, but you haven’t said word about it.”

“And what do you propose?”

“I want to know what you know. I need as much information as possible to get Jamison’s case opened up again.”

If Keira hadn’t been his mate, it would have been easier to collect the relics, assign her another bodyguard, and haul ass. Of course, life was never easy.
