Chapter Seven

Carter smiled up at the ceiling. They’d finally hung out and kept their clothes on. Okay. So they fooled around earlier in the day, but that was earlier. They’d spent hours together and had been able to talk and joke. And she got to meet the rest of his Clan, minus Luke once again, as well as Big River. She’d fit in beautifully.

She’d also tried to argue when a couple of his friends had referred to her as Carter’s mate more than once. That part kind of sucked, but they were still in that stage where they had no idea what they were going to do. Which was stupid. They both knew there was no way to fight the mate bond. But he agreed with her; this was moving way too fast for two middle aged people. He wanted to get to know June the woman. He wanted them to decide whether or not they’d live together. Although he couldn’t see himself living in her trailer. It was nice enough, just a little small for a bear Shifter. He had to duck through every door frame. His home, just like the rest of Blackwater’s homes, had been built by their own hands to fit their needs. And that included taller door frames.

He could picture June in his cabin, though. He could picture her shoes next to his at the front door, her clothes lined up next to his in the closet. Hell, he’d even let her paint the walls whatever color she wanted. As long as it made her happy.

Why the hell was he feeling all sappy from that last kiss? Actually, he knew why. It felt like they were dating and falling for each other rather than being shoved together by fate or the universe or whoever decided who should be mates. They’d made out a little, and then she’d left. Of course, she’d left him with blue balls, but whatever. He’d taken care of that in the shower. Now, he laid in bed picturing her lying beside him. Someday. Someday they’d get to that point.

He hoped.

As he was dozing off, his phone chirped twice. He grabbed it and squinted against the bright light to read the message.

“What the fuck?” he whispered. Hitting June’s saved number, he lifted the phone to his ear and listened to the rings before her voice came over the line. “What was that message supposed to mean?”

“It means what it means, Carter.”

Was she crying?

“Am I really attracted to you? Seriously? We’ve gone over this. I think you’re the most stunning, beautiful, sexiest woman I’ve ever seen. Period. What’s going on?” He rolled onto his left side and kept the phone to his right ear, staring at the wall as he listened to her sniffle. She was crying. What the hell had changed since she’d left his house? It had been just over an hour.

“Are bears usually attracted to chubby girls?” she asked, her voice thick with tears.

Carter sat up and leaned against his headboard.
