Chapter 10

Samuel held her to him. He knew that sooner or later he’d have to tell her everything he’d done, but for now she was sated and still. Rubbing his fingers up and down her back, he touched several scars there but didn’t mind them as much as he might have. Having her here, alive and well, was all that he cared about right now.

“Won’t the police be suspicious when they see that I’m not hurt?” His fingers paused at her question. “I mean, they were called in, right?”

“Yes. Jimmy called them just after we knew your conversion was well on its way. You were still very hurt by the time they arrived.” She lifted her head and rested it on his chest. Samuel didn’t want to talk about her being hurt, but even messy and looking like she’d just been thoroughly fucked, she looked like she would hurt him. If only a little.

“You said that you changed me, and that because of the extent of the injuries, I was in bad shape when they arrived. I get that. What I doona…don’t understand is what now.” She pinched his nipple when he grinned at her.

“Doona hide your Irish, girl. I love it.” She lifted a brow that told him she wasn’t fooled for a moment. “You’re dead. We…when you changed your heart rate and breathing had nearly stopped. Only another super would have been able to hear or detect it. There was a wolf with the first responders, and Jimmy told him what had happened. You were taken away by ambulance and routed here instead of the hospital where you were headed.”

“I see.” She laid her head back on his chest, and he felt the first tear on his chest. Lifting her up, he looked into her eyes and then pulled her to his mouth for a kiss.

“Not you, love, just…Jimmy said he’d never seen you before. He made the police believe that you were a transient. A homeless person. The damage…you wouldn’t have had any prints that they could find. You’re not in the system.” She stared at him for long moments.

“Made the police believe it how?” Christ, she was much sharper than he needed her to be right now. Samuel hoped that his friend would forgive him for telling her his secret, but he knew that if he didn’t, she’d never let it go.

“All supernaturals have one or two things they can do that set them apart from someone else. Not to say that another can do what they do, but it will be slightly different for each shifter. Jimmy can manipulate minds. It takes a great deal out of him if it’s a lot of people, but he can do it.” She asked him what his was. “I can speak to all species.”

He waited for her to say something else, but she laid her head back down in his chest. After several minutes, he closed his eyes and started to drift to sleep. When she spoke again, it didn’t startle him, but it did make his heart tighten in his chest.
