“Two p.m.”
I glanced at my phone. I had more than enough time.
“I need to run a couple of errands.”
Nathaniel gave me a look that said he knew damn well I didn’t give a shit about errands. But he didn’t bother asking what I was up to. If it worked, I’d let him know. If it didn’t… Well, I’d figure out Plan B after that.
“I don’t want you going alone.”
I took a deep breath, and he just looked at me.
“Fine. I’ll take Kyla if she’s not busy.”
Kyla looked fresh as a daisy when she strolled in a few minutes later.
“I hate you,” I muttered.
“Hey, werewolf metabolism. My hangover hit right after I left, and I slept through the worst of it. You going to tell me where we’re going?”
“No.”
She studied Nathaniel. His eyes had gone wolfy, and I knew it was because he couldn’t contain his curiosity.
“Good work,” she told me. “All wolves want a woman of mystery.”
I smirked at that. Every werewolf I knew was insatiably curious.
Nathaniel gave Kyla a mock growl, and she strolled out. “I’m going to check on Virtus.”
Stuffing the last of the toast into my mouth, I got to my feet.
“Be careful,” Nathaniel told me.
I didn’t dignify that with a response. Just chased my toast down with the last of my smoothie. Leaning over, I pressed a light kiss to Nathaniel’s lips.
He had slid his hand to my neck before I realized he’d moved. And he held me in place as he kissed me. Languidly. Thoroughly. His tongue danced along my own, and I shivered, suddenly wanting nothing more than to drag him back upstairs.
“Laters,” he told me as he slowly pulled away.
My mind had gone blank. I just nodded and stalked toward the door, ignoring his low chuckle.
“Virtus is coming with us,” Kyla announced.
I narrowed my eyes at the griffin, who’d gotten to his feet. He moved slowly, and it was clear he was still in pain.
“Are you sure?”
He blinked at me. Not only was he sure, but if we didn’t stop babying him, he was going to roar.
I’d been there.
“Fine. Let’s go.”
We took Kyla’s car. Unfortunately, our first stop was a bust.
“She’s not home. Did you message her?”
Kyla narrowed her eyes at Selina’s house. “I messaged her this morning. Do you think we need to worry?”
