“There they are,” Alec said.
His words broke my dark thoughts and my vision seemed to re-focus on the world around me. Ahead, I saw the opening for a cave. Though, it was almost too shallow to be called a cave. A stone archway extended from a rock, providing a covered space only about ten feet deep. Unlike the cave I’d been trapped in, it didn’t extend into deeper tunnels or connect to other caves. Most importantly, there was no rock to roll in front of it.
“I’ll make sure it’s not occupied,” Alec said. “Wait here.”
“Gladly,” I said.
A moment later, he emerged. “It’s not too deep and it doesn’t look like anything has made it into a home. It’s not much, but at least we’ll have some protection from the elements. Think you’ll be okay to come in?”
“Yeah, thanks,” I said. “Tomorrow, we need to find some clothes.”
“Agree.” He walked in and I might have checked out out his bare ass as he ducked down a little to dip into the entrance.
Damn, he was sexy. And he knew it.
I moved toward the cave, trying to push the naughty thoughts of Alec away. They were quickly replaced by images of Tyler.
Was this how it was going to be? Post shift, I was doomed to have sexy thoughts about my mate? I tensed. What if I had another one of those dreams? What if it pushed me closer to completing the bond with Tyler? There had to be something I could do to stop this.
Fighting the urges post-shift had caused the dream, and seemed to make the bond deeper. I wasn’t going to chance that happening anymore. Sex was part of life. Especially for a shifter. I was tired of fighting it. We were freezing, alone, and naked in a cave. For all we knew, we’d be hunted down by my old pack tonight. Life was too short to turn down all the things that made it worth living.
Alec sat on the dirt and looked up at me. “It’s not the Four Seasons, but it’ll do.”
I marched over to him and dropped to my knees. Things were complicated with Alec, but he wasn’t Tyler. Before I could change my mind, I reached for the back of his head and pulled him into a kiss.
