Chapter Seven
Hunter
Ash started yellingthe moment they were back on the highway.
“What were you thinking?” he said. He looked dead ahead, both hands on the wheel, but Hunter could tell he wasn’t quite as mad as he was pretending to be.
After all, she’d said yes.
“Come on,” Hunter said. “Were you just going to wait around until she tripped and fell into our bed?”
“Not actively pursuing a human woman while I am at work does not mean that I’m doing nothing,” said Ash.
“What was your plan, then?” Hunter asked. He drummed his fingers on the car door, next to the window.
“First you insist on coming along, and then you just put the moves on her like that,” Ash muttered, not responding to Hunter.
“If I’d put the moves on her, she’d be naked and screaming in a motel room right now,” Hunter said. “I just asked her out for us.”
Ash huffed, but Hunter could just barely detect the scent of the other man’s arousal.
“She’s got a beauty mark on her right collarbone,” Hunter went on, his voice lowering. “I bet if you undressed her, you’d find—”
“Stop it,” growled Ash.
Hunter glanced at the bulge in his mate’s pants and suppressed a grin.
That meant he was still mad, but he’d calmed down enough for an apology.
“I’m sorry,” Hunter said. “I didn’t mean to jeopardize your job, but she did say yes.”
Ash huffed again.
“No harm, no foul?” Hunter said.
“I just don’t want to be the new face of shifter pervs,” Ash said, sounding calmer already. “I don’t need to be the wayward shifter cop who uses his job to get human tail.”
“You won’t be,” Hunter assured him. “You couldn’t smell how bad she wants us?”
Ash just frowned. That meant he had, but would never admit it to Hunter.
“If you have a good time tomorrow, could you forgive me?”
“We’ll see,” said Ash.
Hunter knew that meant yes.

When they wentto pick up Cora the next night, they drove Hunter’s SUV. Even though the interior smelled a little questionable — he used it sometimes to transport injured wildlife, after all — Ash’s pickup truck only had enough room for two.
“You might need a new truck,” Hunter said, still teasing his mate. “Something that seats three.”
“Don’t count your chickens before they’ve hatched,” said Ash.
When they drove up to the motel, Cora was waiting for them, right in front of the lobby. She wore a knee-length skirt and a tank top, and both men sat in the car for just a moment, appreciating the way her outfit showed off her curves. Moments later, she was in the car, looking flushed and excited.
Always the gentleman, Ash moved to the back seat. He eyed the spot where Hunter had cum on the window only days ago, hoping that they’d cleaned it well enough.
