Chapter Seven

Corey

He couldn’t stop from whistling. The day had been long, and he had hated getting up at such an early hour and leaving Jenny behind. She had stirred as he departed the bed, and he had promised to see her again after he finished work for the day.

Her texts had informed him she was working at Town Hall for a few hours, and the last he heard she was still there. The Jade Crew had found a Dragon Stone toward the end of the day, and Garrett had simply decided to give the crew an early finish. So now he was sneaking down the hallway toward Kierra’s office, which is where he expected to find Jenny.

Though now that he thought about it, whistling was unlikely to make his approach all that stealthy.

Oh well.

“Knock knock,” he said through the open door as he spied her typing away on her laptop, thoroughly engrossed in some article or another.

“Good afternoon,” she said absentmindedly as she finished up what she was working on.

After whatever she was typing was complete Jenny spun in her chair and launched herself at Corey. He bent low and swooped her off her feet, twirling her in place as she giggled with delight.

“You’re early,” she pronounced, before placing a kiss on his lips.

“Surprise,” he told her, returning it with interest.

“I do enjoy your surprises,” she told him with a wink.

“Excuse me, we are in the civic office of the highly regarded town of Origin,” he reminded her. “I’ll ask you to keep your thoughts as pure as those who work here.”

Jenny snorted, making no attempt to cover it up. “Something tells me that after a few more nights with you, I’m going to be anything but pure.”

Corey felt himself blush at such a blunt statement, though he grinned at the same time.

“You’re blaming me for corrupting your innocence?” he asked piously.

“And how,” came the reply, followed up by another kiss. They held this one for longer, neither one wishing to part.

“You must be Corey.” The voice that came from the hallway outside was dripping acid and contempt.

He had been so focused on Jenny that he hadn’t heard the person approach. Startled, he almost dropped her, but he managed to recover at the last moment and put her down. His bear flared up inside him angrily and he spun to face the person with a deep growl.

He blinked in surprise. It was the truck driver from the other day, up at the mines.

“What the fuck are you doing here?” he asked menacingly.

To his further surprise, the other party didn’t budge or even flinch. “I’m her brother.”

“Johnny, what are you doing here?” Jenny asked, struggling to free herself from his arms. Now that Corey realized the person intended her no harm, he let Jenny go. She moved around him so that she could see her brother.

“Mother and I decided to come by and say hello, since we knew you were working on a Saturday. We figured you would be occupied, but not with a shifter,” he sneered.
