his case. How much did he want to share with her uncle?
Nic said, “Leila was attacked by a sorcerer two nights ago.”
Her uncle turned and stared at her in horror. “What?”
“I’m fine. Nic and Mama Tui took care of me, but I almost lost my magic. The sorcerer is being called the Brain Surgeon in the local news.”
Uncle Kofi shook his head. “I wondered about the killings. They seemed paranormal.”
Nic took her hand and squeezed. “The guy is still out there. We think he will come after your niece again. We need any information you might have on rogue wizards.”
Uncle Kofi stepped away from the fire. “Rogue wizards? We’ve only had three wizards go rogue in the last ten years. I can only give you information about this county and this Council, mind you.”
“We understand. If we need to widen our search, we’ll contact the surrounding Councils.”
Uncle Kofi went over to his computer and sat. Nic let go of her hand and began to wander the room. She watched him. He was naturally curious. He read the labels on the jars and sniffed hanging herbs. He sneezed, and she smiled at how surprised he looked afterward.
He turned to her. “Do we need a room like this?”
She frowned. “We will if I’m going to be the only witch around. Potions aren’t my specialty, but there will be things I’ll need.” He was thinking way too far ahead. What if it turned out they hated each other after the lust died down?
He crossed to her and rubbed his thumb over the space between her eyebrows. He cupped her jaw and kissed her. Every touch of his lips was perfect. His kisses made her want to climb inside him.
She was so confused. Should her attraction to him be so strong?
“I’ve got it,” Uncle Kofi said.
Nic pulled away slowly. She and Nic stared at each other. She tried to steady her heartbeat and calm her breathing.
“What do you have, Uncle Kofi?” She refused to be embarrassed that her words came out breathy.
Uncle Kofi stood and waved a sheet of printer paper at them. “Here is a list of the rogue wizards. There are four, not three as I thought.”
She crossed to him and took the sheet before hugging him. “Thanks, Uncle Kofi.”
“My pleasure. Just make sure you go and see your mother. She shouldn’t learn about your mating from someone else.”
“We’ll go see her.” Just not right now.
In the SUV, she turned to Nic. “Where to?”
“We can access the Coldwell PD database back at the station.”
They rode in silence for a while. She looked at his profile. All his features were sharp. He was a handsome man. Certainly the sleek muscles helped. What else could she expect with his shifter genetics?
She wondered what people thought when they saw them together. He was a fine, Latino, leanly muscled man. She was a African-American BBW. Did they match? He looked at her, and the heat in his gaze nearly sizzled her panties off. He took one hand from the wheel and folded it around the inside of her thigh. A wave of longing swept through her and settled in her pussy.
“Mate, you get wet faster than any woman I’ve ever met.”
The embarrassment didn’t stop her folds from releasing more cream. “Isn’t it like this with all mates?”
“No.” His jaw hardened, and he gripped the steering wheel tighter.
“But I thought the mating makes you want each other?”
“The mating makes it easier to have children. There are some mates who can’t stand each other, won’t touch each other unless the female is in heat. The male will protect the female, but if they truly hate each other, heat is the only thing that will force them together.”
She blinked a few times, hoping it would clear her head. “Nic, you’re always touching me.” And kissing me.
His mouth turned up at the corner, and he spared her a glance full of mischief. “Baby, you’re sexy as hell. Especially those legs and that ass. Whew. Try not to sashay so hard through the squad room this time.”
