Once he’d seen movement inside the cottage, Xavier knew that he’d been heard. He still didn’t think this was a good idea, but his panther had thoughts of his own. If he hadn’t gone down the mountain to her cottage, he had a feeling that his panther would have kept him up all night and then some with incessant howling.

Xavier knew he could be a world class ass, but so could his panther. Whether he’d learned it from the cat or vice versa, they were both masters of their craft.

Looking down at the bottle in his hand he let out a breath. Bringing alcohol probably isn’t the best idea.

It’s a peace offering.

But women like flowers and stuff like that.

She creates drinks. His stubborn panther was barely keeping his tone civil. Stop scowling before she locks us out and calls Aaron.

Stop scowling. Yeah, that was easy.

Not.

Swearing under his breath, Xavier’s hand clutched the bottle so tightly he swore he was just one second away from crushing it into a thousand stupid pieces.

And then the door opened. “Hey.”

He had his words planned out.

He’d said them a couple of times on the way down the mountain, but the instant she’d opened the door and he’d seen how she looked, his brain went… his brain went…

He had no fucking idea.

Didn’t the woman wear clothes?

She wore full length pants, bless him, but her top. Or what stood in for it, was skintight with tiny straps stretched over each shoulder holding the fabric tight to her lush curves.

And the color of it was just a shade or two away from the color of her skin. Peach and pale like cream, he knew that it would only take one flirtatious comment to make her blush.

But Locke was the one who could flirt. He could flirt with a potted plant and it would probably pop right out of the soil and climb the lion like a tree. Him? He had no skills to make her feel at ease, or him for that matter.

How long he’d stayed silent, he didn’t really know, but he saw True shift a little and hold tightly to the doorknob in her hand. Her other hand lifted to tuck her hair behind her ear, and the movement made the fabric of her top stretch across her breasts.

Before his panther could let out an appreciative purr at her appearance, Xavier spoke.

“I came by to bring you this.”

Smooth.

He held out the bottle and waited for her to tell him exactly where to stuff it.

“Is this…” she looked down at the bottle in his hand and then lifted her gaze back up to his, “is this from your still?”

He saw the change in her expression after he managed a nod in response to her question. When she reached out her hands, he set the bottle in them and watched as she lifted it up and held it into the light coming through the open door.

The bottle itself was plain, clear, with a ceramic stopper.

“Can I open it
