Chapter Eight

Carson stepped into Spacers, still marveling over Grady’s words. His mate had already told his family about them? What did that mean? Coming out to one’s family was a big step. Jared wouldn’t do that if he planned on leaving and never seeing Carson again, would he?

Uncertain of his welcome, he remained on the outskirts of the room so he could scope out the place. He appreciated Declan’s promise of a couple other wolves there and easily spotted Nick and Trace seated in a corner talking. He had no notion of either man’s orientation, but neither seemed particularly interested in the dancer. He traded nods with the other shifters and let his gaze rove over the clusters of men.

It only took him a moment to spot Jared sitting at a table with a half dozen other men. While the others stared at the woman on stage, laughing and cajoling each other, Jared lounged back in his chair, which Carson noted was against a wall, and surveyed the rest of the bar.

Seconds later, their eyes met and a flash of heat lighted Jared’s eyes and one side of Jared’s lips curved into a small smile. Assured of at least a moderate welcome, Carson started toward them. He noticed a blond man slap Jared’s arm, trying to get his attention. Jared broke their gaze and frowned at the man, dropping his eyes to look at where the man touched him, before lifting a brow in question.

The man, oblivious to Jared’s displeasure at the contact, waved a hand at the brunet dancing and stripping. Jared’s gaze flicked over the woman, but to Carson’s pleasure, no interest was expressed in his look. Carson drew close enough to hear the blond’s comment.

“Not to your liking, man?” the guy said. “I like blondes myself, but redheads really get me going,” he added with a leer.

“Oh, I like mine with long raven hair,” Jared quipped back. “It gives me something to hold while I fuck them.”

Carson nearly swallowed his tongue and struggled to get words out when he reached the table. “Jared,” he finally managed.

“Carson,” Jared purred, standing and gripping his shoulder. “I’m glad Grady passed on the message. Join us.” He pulled up another chair and settled it between him and another man. “This is Terry, my soon-to-be brother-in-law,” he said, indicating the man to Carson’s right. “These yahoos are his buddies, Lance, Phil, Tom, Larry and Brady.” He pointed at a man as he said a name, going around the table counterclockwise. “Guys, this is Carson Angeni. He’s a forest ranger in the area.” He grinned at Carson. “In the summer, I’m going to talk him into showing me some of the more secluded places.”

He grinned back at Jared, he and his wolf on the same page about what to do at those secluded places. “I’d be happy to, Jared,” he replied. “Anytime.”

“Are you eventually coming back to stay?” Terry asked. “I know Brandy would be happy to hear that, even with the shock you gave her yesterday.
