She found a seat and placed her clutch on the chair next to her to save it for Pryce. Looking at the little bag there reminded her of all the times her mother had done the same for her father when he was off closing some deal or doing something work-related while the family waited for him.

He’s just in the bathroom, chill, she told herself, looking around nervously, ignoring the nagging fact that he seemed to be taking much longer than necessary. Men’s rooms didn’t usually have long lines…

Her mind wandered to the amazing kiss they’d shared. It fulfilled every fantasy she’d ever had about what kissing her mate might be like. Sensual, passionate, and life-altering. His arms had held her strongly while her legs had turned wobbly, and her head had become woozy, lost in a fugue state while her only certainty had been the fact that she would never be satisfied unless she had more.

But, somehow, something in the kiss had felt like a goodbye.

He’d seemed honest when he said she’d impressed him, but it had also sounded like he had some sort of regret. Like he was pulling away.

That’s silly. Why would the thought cross her mind? He hadn’t given her any reason to think he’d ditch her. He was at Gerri’s party, after all. Didn’t that mean he was there to meet his mate also?

Unless he, like her, hadn’t truly believed Gerri would find their match.

Drat.

Nila hadn’t intended on meeting her mate when she’d started her week, but sometimes life just happened. Even if Nila wasn’t what Pryce wanted or expected, he at least should have told her if he intended on leaving before dinner, right?

She was being paranoid. Just because she grew up a certain way—with people who had ulterior motives almost all the time—didn’t mean that was what she was experiencing now.

Maybe it was the way people did things now. She hadn’t dated in a long time, and even when she had, it hadn’t been anything serious. She’d enjoyed dating in her younger years, before she went into nursing school and became serious about her career. Though, even when in high school, she always had to be cautious about who she let close. It was easier to keep boyfriends at arm’s length, so they didn’t learn too much about her family—and so her family didn’t look too much into them.

In truth, none had seemed more than silly flings to her, even at the time.

Unlike Pryce. Even if she hadn’t felt the mate bond to him, she would have known it. He reminded her of the men she grew up around. Somewhat stoic, strong, and muscular. He had an air around him that spoke to dependability and trustworthiness. He had a “don’t mess with me” vibe that warned he might kick someone’s ass if they looked at him wrong.

And, whoo boy, Pryce was such a hot specimen. Mate sense or not, she would have an undeniable attraction to the buff, handsome man with the dark locks of hair and the brilliant blue eyes.
