Chapter Seven

Jack was happy to leave Georgio’s. The guy was a friend, and Jack had every sympathy for the badly injured shifter, but Jack found he didn’t want to share Grace just yet. He wanted to keep her to himself and secure their relationship—whatever that turned out to be—before they hung out with any more of the Clan.

He parked his Game Warden SUV around the side of the house, and Grace opened her own door, hopping down before he could even get out of the driver’s seat. He followed her around to the back of the house, where she stood on his deck, leaning against the railing, looking out at the ocean.

She looked so wistful he wanted to go up and put his arm around her. He wanted to pull her back against his chest and offer his warmth to her. But he wasn’t sure where he stood, exactly, so he tread lightly.

“Storm’s brewing out there,” he said, standing at her side, watching the waves with her.

He’d built the house and deck high enough so he had an unobstructed view of the ocean, while still being quite a distance from the rocky beach. A set of stairs led down from the other side of the deck to the ground. From there, it was a bit of a walk to the ocean, through the tree line and then onto the sandy soil before hitting the actual beach.

“Can you feel it?” Grace’s voice was soft as she stared out at the building waves. “Something is stirring.”

Jack didn’t like the sound of that. And he didn’t like the look in her eye either. A change of topic was in order. He put one arm across her shoulders and turned her toward the house.

“How about some dinner? I bet you worked up an appetite with all that swimming and shifting.”

She looked up at him as if only just seeing him. Then she smiled, and he forgot any worries he might’ve had.

“Sure. I haven’t cooked on land in a long time, but if you’ll help me, I might be able to repay your kindness by trying to prepare a meal. Do you have any red meat?”

He laughed. “Red meat? I thought for sure you were going to ask for fish.” They began walking toward the back door, leaving the ocean, and the building storm, behind.

“Fish is better raw, when I’m in my mer form. On land, I like steak. Or a nice, juicy hamburger with all the fixings.” Her tinkling laughter rolled over him, drowning him in fairy dust that felt like heaven. She had an almost intoxicating effect on him.

“A girl after my own heart,” Jack commented as they entered the house.

He led her right to the kitchen, and together, they began to prepare dinner. Days were short this time of year, and they’d spent hours at Georgio’s.

They laughed and enjoyed each other’s company as the sun set on the turbulent waters outside. Grace was in good spirits. Her color was better, and she moved with an ease she hadn’t been feeling before.
