Where are you ?" when she didn't immediately respond he growled low in his throat, panicking himself at her silence.
" Fucking answer me, where are you ?" he repeated doing another visual sweep as he slowly began to creep across her back garden on his belly, keeping under the fence line so the shadows helped to camouflage him. Jaden's cat was midnight black, his rosette's only noticeable if you were up close, and normally by then they were the last things you saw if he was hunting. He was a big man, so he was also a big, heavy cat, with a large head full of weapons in the form of those long, razor-sharp teeth and the tough jaw. Never mind the daggers he had on him on the end of his huge paws.
" Secret compartment in my wardrobe. It's in the room with me Jaden, stay back, " then she cut off her thoughts. Fuck, what was he going to do? There was one in the house with her and another one possibly behind him? He could hold his own in a fight but in a confined space it would limit his movements and he couldn’t see them obliging him by shifting. Then he remembered that if his mate was killed, it would release him from the binding, but shook the thought away. He was kind of getting use to her now. He may not be entirely happy about not having a choice in whether he was given a mate or not but he kind of liked her smart mouth. He'd certainly miss her shouting, even that he'd gotten used to in the short time she'd begun to talk back. She had spirit, and it fascinated him, he'd never come across a woman before who would defy him or talk back, it was refreshing. It pissed him off that he may not get the chance to make his own decision on whether he got to spend time with her or not. After a couple of months he may get bored and decide for himself that it was time to move on but it should be his decision no one else's.
" Seriously, you're out there deciding if you should leave me to it. You fucking arsehole, " Maya spat in his head and he winced, forgetting that she could pick up on his thoughts. Then he grinned. She was smart, and not just her mouth. She was also resilient, plus the more she was getting riled at him the less time there was for her to think and worry. He swung his head around again and swallowed a chuff of laughter, seriously she made him laugh even in such a tense situation. She really was a bit of a hellcat.
" Aww, come on honey, don't be mad. I wouldn't really let anything happen to you. Plus I haven't had my way with you yet, I still need in your pants. " He heard her growl in his head, then she mentally sent him the birdie. " You will be getting nowhere near me you arsehole, I'll be cutting your dick off the next time I see you. " He had to swallow the chuff of laughter that time, she really was funny. She'd give in, it was part of the binding, completely out of their hands. They would be attracted to each other no matter what, the choice was fates to make not theirs. He heard her snort as he continued to crawl across the back garden, commando style on his belly, stop start moves as he made his way towards the back door.
" I locked the back door ," she sent him mentally, obviously picking up on his movements by his thoughts.
" It's wide open now, I guess he left it open for his buddy ," he heard her gasp and could have slapped himself for reminding her that there wasn't one but two of the bastards. He had to think quickly before she began to panic.
" So honey, what are you going to be cooking to keep me satisfied? You know once I've had in your pants that is. Seriously, you have to give me an incentive here, especially if you want me to get my arse in there. I could break a nail you know ." He heard her snort again and got a mental picture of a steaming pile of dog shit, he had to swallow another laugh as he again checked his surroundings.
" That's not nice, and really not much of an incentive. I could find that on the street, seriously, you have to work
