Claire's heart pounded hard as Tate passed by. Her nipples perked up, too. Sternly reining in her very needy body, which had flared to life the second she'd realized he was actually here in her presence, and still just as intrigued by her—her wolf thumped her tail in full agreement with that assessment—she shut the door behind him, though not without taking an automatic glance around her yard for anyone else. She didn't exactly have a security system, but she did keep an eye on everyone who came through her tiny, remote little neighborhood. No wolves had ever bothered her here before, because they didn't know of her existence. Even so, her mother had drummed safety and careful observation into her head from the time she could walk. Despite that upbringing, Claire sometimes still let her guard down around her own home, where she felt safest and most comfortable.

Tate's presence filled up her small space. It felt a little strange to have him here. She didn't entertain often. She had a very few human writer friends over at times, and her recent ex had spent time here of course, after she finally allowed him to come into her small sanctuary. Her best friend, a human girl who grew up in Cortez but moved away after college for a job and ended up settling out of state, sometimes stayed with Claire when she came back to visit, but that was getting more and more rare. Otherwise, Claire spent the majority of her time alone, and she liked it that way. This was her private retreat.

Despite that, Tate being in her space felt—natural. Normal.

Because he was her mate? That simultaneously unsettling yet elating thought had stayed with her, swirling through her mind despite the long run with her mother, through her trot back to the house, right up until the moment she finally saw him and nearly had heart failure from being so startled. It was also the second time she'd come upon Tate and not sensed his presence in advance. Was she getting too distracted just by thinking about him all the time now? Or was she letting her guard slip because since she'd been unbothered for so long, she didn't pay quite as close attention to her surroundings in familiar areas as she should?

“Very nice little place you have here, darlin',” the sexy man on her mind said. He wasn't wandering through her house, checking it out. Instead, he politely stood in the middle of her small living room, which was really one large room that opened right up into the kitchen, a dining area, and her office, all in one. “That view is amazing.” He gestured toward her huge south-facing window, which framed the mountain in a postcard perfect scene.

He seemed as comfortable here as she felt having him. While he wasn't looking at her, she took a moment to inhale his scent. It flooded her with its tantalizing maleness, the one licked by hints of dark chocolate, a dash of cayenne, the light snap of ginger.
