To his own surprise, Reed had had fun. He’d liked hearing Demi talk on and on about what he was passionate about, even if he didn’t understand much about it. And keeping his attention on Demi had helped Reed to keep his vigilance under control, almost to the point that he’d forgotten he should be checking his surroundings. Almost.

At least Reed’s mood had been stable, and that pushed him to take another step forward. When he and Demi got back to the car, cheeks reddened by the cold air, he grabbed Demi’s hand and pulled him close before he could climb in. Reed kissed him, smiling when Demi chuckled.

“Do you have to go home now?”

Demi tilted his head to the side. “No, why? Did you have something in mind?”

“We could go and have coffee.”

Demi’s wide smile was enough for Reed to know he’d done the right thing. Maybe he really was healing. It was slow, but it was there.

“That’d be great.”

Demi pressed a quick kiss on Reed’s lips and they got in the car. Reed stroked a hand down the leather seat. He loved his mate’s car, and Demi had done an awesome job on it.

“How about the small coffee shop next to the library? Or would you rather go to the one in Main Street? I know that one has more choices, but it’s usually noisy.”

“The one next to the library is fine.”

He’d tried, but there was always a niggling feeling in him that told him it would be better—safer—if he stayed home instead. His mom had insisted on taking him to dinner a few times, but Reed had spent the evening looking around and keeping an eye on everyone and everything, and it had effectively taken all the fun out of it.

He couldn’t say he was comfortable today, but being able to focus on Demi helped. It might be the mate bond that was making itself known, or maybe just Demi’s charisma, but it didn’t really matter either way. What did matter was that Reed was enjoying a day out with his mate without feeling the need to run back home. Not too much, anyway.

“You coming?”

Reed shook himself from his thoughts and followed Demi inside. He couldn’t stop himself from looking around the coffee shop for someone who might hurt him or his mate, but the shop was mostly empty. The only other customers were two teenage girls giggling at a table near the window and an older man reading a newspaper.

Reed didn’t think either of them could do anything more than cause him a bruise, but he still took a seat against the wall and facing the door, just in case.

Traffic outside was light, which was why Reed noticed the hundred thousand dollar SUV that drove by. He didn’t think there were many of those cars around town. Even
