Chapter 10

Sylvia

I lost myself in that kiss. It was much more intense than the one in the workshop, and even that had been better than any in my life.

This one, however, was life-changing. I felt our two hearts meet and meld, felt myself soaking up his essence and sharing mine.

It lasted forever, and not long enough.

I sighed when he lifted his lips from mine, looking slightly dazed. I felt the same.

“What was that?” I whispered.

He smiled softly. “Something very special. And it means we need to talk to Beth before we take this further.”

I blinked, feeling completely confused. “Who is Beth?”

“My boss.” He grinned.

“What?”

“And the closest thing to a leader I have right now.”

My mind jumped to all the stupid fantasy stuff I had read about werewolves. I reminded myself that it probably was all fiction.

“You may want to explain that.” I grinned back at him, still soaring from what I had experienced.

“She really is my boss. She owns the Swan Valley Guided Tours.” He tucked my head under his chin and sighed.

“And?”

“And she’s a wolf. She rescued me that night.”

I felt something else relax inside me. “I’m so glad you found help.”

“Yeah.”

Guilt flooded me. I couldn’t help it, even though reason told me I couldn’t have known that Grandpa… no, he would be Theo from now on, I wanted nothing more to do with that man. I still felt guilty, and shuddered at the memory of what they had done to Ben. To the man I loved.

“I’m so sorry,” I whispered.

He just held me tight. “No, never, my love. You were the one who saved me.”

My love. I closed my eyes and soaked up those words. Yes, he was. “Say that again, please.”

“Say what?”

“My love.” I could feel my voice change as I said those words, because they came straight from my heart.

He sighed deeply. “My love. It feels so right.”

I closed my eyes and just breathed, reveling in his scent, his touch, yes, even his love.

“It does. I don’t ever want to let you go.”

He chuckled. “I don’t either. But our rescue team is pulling into the parking lot right now.”

“Oh.”

A man and a woman entered the bus just a few moments later, and the man frowned.

“No snuggling with customers,” he growled, while the woman rolled her eyes.

“It’s on the customer’s demand,” I said with a grin, while regretting that Ben was releasing his hold on me.

“It’s still against the rules.”

“Ease up, Greg.” The woman nudged him aside. “Let me check out that ankle. Sylvia, is it?”

“Yes.”

“I’m Barbara. Tell me what happened.”

I quickly told her the story while she unwound Ben’s bandanna and probed my ankle. I winced a few times.

“That doesn’t seem too bad, and it’s definitely not broken. I’ll put a wrap around it, and Ben can carry you to our car.”

“No…” The man glared at her.

“Shut up, Greg.”

“But…”

“Stop being so blind and get out of the way.”

I was grateful when she bustled Greg out of the bus, on the pretext of getting her medical supplies.
