Chapter Fifteen

Rachel

She had just finished pulling on some clothes when the door rattled under a firm fist.

Her heart leapt in her chest as hope blossomed inside of her. Could that be Hector? She’d been asleep that morning when he’d left, and she’d woken to an empty bed beside her, much to her dismay. Although he’d made it very clear that he had to leave before sunrise, she still didn’t like it. Him sneaking out in the middle of the night sucked. She wished he could stay. Especially after the night they’d shared, and the bond that had formed between them.

After making love for the second time, they’d lain on her bed for hours, talking about small things, telling embarrassing stories of prior loves and stupid things they’d done. None of it was particularly earth-shattering information, but between their intimacy and the conversation, she felt like she’d gained a more thorough connection with him. She’d gained a friend, a companion, as well as a lover. It was something that most people couldn’t say for their own relationships.

But it was ridiculous to think that he could be at her door now. Hector had never said anything outright to her, but she could tell that he was nervous about going back. About what he was going to find once he got there. She doubted that it would be a warm reception, and a part of her wondered if he was likely to end up in even more trouble for sneaking out to see her. That seemed like the sort of thing that he would do, but she hoped desperately that he had gotten home unseen.

They hadn’t talked about when he would see her next, though both of them had expressed the desire to do so. She knew it could be a while, a long while in fact, before he was able to sneak out to see her or, or perhaps once his punishment had been eased. So Rachel had decided that until then she would throw herself back into her groups that she loved so much. She was attending another one that evening, in fact, and she couldn’t wait.

Reaching the door, she peered through the peephole.

Hissing in surprise, she pulled back, her heart racing. The view was of someone’s broad chest. She couldn’t see the face; they were too tall. Only shifters were that tall. Could it really be that he was here to see her? Almost as soon as she thought that, another darker, more sinister idea flowed through her mind.

What if it was someone coming to speak to her because of what had happened the night before? Could they be after her, to get her statement, to interrogate her for information on his whereabouts? Hector had said he was heading straight back to the embassy, so that he could help with the repair work in the morning. But what if he hadn’t? What if he’d decided to leave entirely? That could explain why a shifter would be at her door. It was six thirty, almost on the dot.
