Gus settled deeper into the truck’s upholstery. Some days he loathed being Lycan. It could feel like a curse, especially in front of an attractive woman he wanted to make a good impression on. Fredi was one woman he did not want to frighten away. Damn, she was amazing. Made to order, actually, and he was hanging out the window, howling and clawing the air. How fucked-up was that? She did seem caring and pretty patient with him. That was a plus. “You’ve been really good about all this. You seem to have a talent for calming others down.”

Fredi smiled, and, when she did, a beautiful little Shirley Temple dimple appeared that left him breathless. He’d always been a sucker for a dimpled smile.

“I volunteer at an animal shelter. I’m used to getting frightened creatures to calm down.” Her voice was sugar sweet and put him in a sunnier state of mind.

“That’s cool. Whatever you’re doing, it’s working.” He was looking at her and not exactly calming down, but certainly feeling better about everything. If anything, he was more excited than ever. She was so luscious he knew it would be a challenge to remain close and not kiss her, or more. He’d want her anytime, but a full moon required an extra strict dose of self-restraint. They couldn’t have picked a worse time to meet. The question that rose in his embattled mind was: how long could he remain so close to everything he’d ever wanted, and not grab? Yep, lycanthropy was a real pain in the ass. A little normal conversation was what was needed, and he hoped to sound sane.

“You can’t spend all your time at the shelter. What else do you do?”

“I’m also an accountant, but that’s so dull. I can take most of my work with me on my laptop.”

It took effort for him to not squirm. “You’re a Wiccan accountant? I think that’s a first for me. Have you ever hexed anyone’s books?”

She turned onto a narrow lane. “There are tons of Wiccan accountants out here! You’d be surprised. No, I’ve never hexed anyone’s books. I’m not that kind of witch, and being an accountant is not forever. It’s just a step along the way.”

“What would you like to be doing?”

“Some day, I’m going to have my own boutique with really stylish clothes for women of all sizes. You know, bold, form-fitting stuff for curves. No woman is ever going to hear the words, ‘we don’t have that in your size,’ because I’ll be able to witch it into their size. No one’s ever going to feel bad in my dressing rooms, either. Soft lighting, a magic mirror…”

He listened with approval. She was so smart, and he loved that she had ambition, too. On another night, it would be fun to go somewhere private and talk in uninterrupted peace and really get to know her better. So far, everything she said only piqued his interest. Too bad he was not at his best. Tamping his sexual impulses down was becoming a misery.
