and scream at her, not to mention being cuddled the Sheriff. Agatha cast a twinkling look at them. “I was wondering when you two were going to come in, I didn’t like to disturb you, you seemed... busy.”
Liv blushed too stunned to talk. Alec cleared his throat. “Ms Blackport...”
“Agatha please.”
“Agatha, is everything alright?”
She cocked her grey head at them. “Of course, why wouldn’t it be?”
“But I came here... and the, the, the front door... it was unlocked... I looked all over... you were gone!” Liv spluttered.
“Oh I must have left it unlocked” said Agatha dismissively. “It happens at my age, I spent hours yesterday looking for my glasses, which were of course on the top of my head. You were really worried weren’t you?”
“Well yes, after Iris...”
Agatha harrumphed. “That woman probably cast a spell that went wrong and made herself disappear. She always did prefer her magic on the dark side... Sit down girl you look like you’ve seen a ghost.”
Alec manoeuvred her into a chair. “Why don’t you both sit down and I’ll make it.”
Agatha smiled at him. “I won’t say no to that.”
Liv watched as Alec was directed round the small kitchen. He moved surprisingly gracefully for his size and considering what he was doing. Liv was staring at his butt when Agatha nudged her and Liv turned beet red.
She whispered loudly to Liv, so Alec could no doubt hear. “I like a man who knows his way around the kitchen.” She gave Liv a knowing look. “Plus it doesn’t hurt that he’s very sexy.”
Alec himself actually reddened and Liv stifled a giggle.
The three of them spent an hour chatting amiably while Liv recovered from her near panic attack. When they left Agatha pressed Alec into promising to come back and visit her again with Liv. Liv inwardly groaned at the fact the Agatha was trying to play matchmaker.
They walked out to their vehicles. Liv felt like a complete fool, worrying and getting upset over nothing. He must think her a complete idiot or worse, think that she lured him out there under false pretences.
Alec lingered by her car. It occurred to him that Liv may have been lying about worrying Agatha had been missing. The thought that she might make up a story like that actually elated him. That she would go to extreme measures just to see him made him feel very self-satisfied. Although her reactions certainly seemed genuine...
Either way he was pleased that the incident with Carrie seemed to be forgotten, and even more so that he had at last managed to get his hands on his mate. His whole body still tingled. He had thought it might appease his wolf a little, but if anything it had made the wolf angry and demanding for more...
Liv scratched her arm absently. “I’m really sorry,” she began lamely, “I didn’t mean to drag you out here for nothing.”
He held up his hands in a placating gesture. “ It’s absolutely fine.”
She looked at him doubtfully. “I mean it, you were just worried about your friend. I’m glad you didn’t hesitate to call me. If anything like this happens again do the same, I’ll come running I promise.” God he sounded desperate.
She smiled shyly. “Thank you for coming so quickly, and for calming me down.”
He looked at her hungrily . “It was my pleasure.” He felt his arousal rise at an alarming rate, his wolf was clawing at him to take control.
He had to do something to appease the beast, make some kind of gesture. “I was wondering if you wanted to come to Bar Luna tonight for a drink...” His wolf growled impatiently waiting for a response.
Was he asking her out on a date?! Uneasy excitement bubbled in her stomach. “With you?” She asked coyly.
He panicked. What if she said no? His wolf was already on the brink of bursting forward, what would he do if their mate rejected them. His wolf might just drag her
