Grant forced himself to acquiesce with a nod.
Natalie responded with a dip of her chin, then once more slowly turned to face Neil. She extended her hands with painful care as though moving in slow-motion.
But the moment she placed her hands in his, he lost it. He threw his head back and howled, a long, primitive howl as though he’d just been separated from his entire pack.
Neil didn’t just step backward. He levitated swiftly and flew toward the doors clearly fearing he would need to make a quick escape.
Natalie threw her arms around Grant’s waist. I’m here. He’s not touching me. I’m here.
Grant clutched her arms and forced himself to breathe. Fuck. I don’t know what to do.
I have an idea. She craned her neck to look up at him and meet his gaze.
At that, he finally looked at her. You do?
Why don’t you put your arms around me from behind, make a full circle around my waist? That way, you have the greater possession.
You’re willing to do that?
Yes, but we need to hurry this along.
Fine.
Natalie called to Neil. “Come back. We think we know how we can make this work.”
As Neil floated once more in their direction, Grant moved in behind Natalie. I apologize for the hard-on.
No need. I get it. Right now, if you said, ‘I’m coming for you’, I’d say ‘Get here fast’.
A shudder ran through him as he slid his arms around her waist. He connected his groin to her buttocks and wouldn’t apologize that she’d be able to feel all ten inches of him in a thick, hard erection pressed between her cheeks. We need to talk. Once we’ve got the answer, there are things I need to tell you.
I think that’s a good idea.
Neil descended to land in front of Natalie once more.
You good to go, Grant? she asked.
I’m good. This works.
Aloud, Natalie said, “Let’s go for it, Neil. This should take care of the problem.”
When she held her hands out to Neil this time, Grant’s only response was to tighten his hold on Natalie. She’d been right. His more significant physical connection to her was all he’d needed to satisfy his wolf. He could even feel the fur on his cheeks disappear.
Neil must have felt confident as well because he took Natalie’s hands. “All you have to do is relax and let me get a sense of you. Try focusing on the last time you felt the person nearby. Closing your eyes might help. Is there only one?”
“Only one and I think it’s male. I was shopping at the Cathedral in Revel a couple of months ago. I’d just bought some roasted almonds when I felt him nearby. I had the impression he was tall as he stood next to me. I even tried to communicate telepathically but he didn’t respond.”
“You aren’t mistaken, Natalie. I can feel the spell. It’s powerful and bright, like it’s full of sunlight. That tells me which wizard created it. His signature is light. But I can also feel the presence of the man. It’s time to secure his identity. Are you prepared to know?”
“I am.”
The situation helped Grant’s arousal to diminish for which he w
as grateful.
Neil addressed Grant. “Are you good with this? Because I’m going to invoke a spell of my own. It will pass through Natalie and you’ll probably feel it as well. But it should show us who’s been dogging her heels all this time.”
“Do it.”
