house, even on the porch, with the Gray Forms causing trouble, but at the same time, I didn't feel particularly worried. Though I certainly hadn't known him very long, I trusted Eric to keep me safe.
However, just as I'd finished the last of my wine, a soft noise around the side of the bungalow startled me and made me jump a bit. I gripped the stem of my glass, wondering if I should try to stay silent or make a dash to the front door. But before I could make up my mind, a shadowy form came around to the porch, though it wasn't one of the forms that Eric had described. This shadowy form was clearly that of a large silvery wolf.
I exhaled, feeling a little stupid. "Oh. Are you Nate?"
I was pretty sure it was the same wolf I'd seen earlier; not that I'd seen him very clearly then, or could see him very clearly now, but he was about the same size and light shade of silver.
The wolf shifted into human form within the blink of an eye and nodded. "I'm Nate. After all these days of keeping an eye on you to keep you safe, it's nice to finally speak to you and properly meet you, Liz."
He strode up on the porch and extended a hand, and I took it, nodding mutely.
"It's nice to meet you as well, Nate."
His touch seemed to cause a warm tingle of electricity to run from my hand all the way up my arm.
I'd seen him around the island in human form before, though I hadn't known him by name. I recalled Laura pointing him out one day as one of the single men in the village.
As far as looks went, he was Eric-level gorgeous. He had a long, muscular body like Eric's, though maybe just not quite as muscular. He was a little longer, a little leaner. He was also lighter in complexion than Eric and had much lighter, sandy brown hair, just about the same shade as my own. With only the light from a full moon as illumination, I couldn't quite make out the color of his eyes, though it didn't even matter. No matter what color they were, he was a stunningly attractive man.
One thing that was also stunning was that when he'd shifted into human form, he'd shifted already dressed, wearing a fitted t-shirt and battered jeans that hung low on his slim hips. Too embarrassed to ask a man I'd just met about that fact, I just figured that shifters' clothes somehow magically shifted with them.
I invited him to take a break and have a seat in the rocker beside me, and he did so, seeming glad to do so. We made small talk for a while, and I told him that Eric had told me all about the shifters and the island.
Appearing unsurprised, Nate nodded. "I figured he'd probably have to give you some explanations after you caught sight of me today. Well, that and the fact that there was a dragon flying overhead, too, which was the reason I was a bit distracted and wasn't being quite as stealthy as usual."
Like Eric, Nate had a very attractive, handsome, strong-jawed face, and in the moonlight, I could see that he also had long, dark eyelashes as well. While we continued to talk, I began to feel a bit uncomfortable for some reason, to be sitting next to a man who'd been clandestinely protecting me from afar for over a week.
I was also a bit self-conscious because I couldn't seem to stop myself from imagining what his long, lean body might look like naked, even while at the exact same time, I was having similar thoughts about Eric's body. Becoming a bit flustered, I realized that what Eric had said earlier, about finding me so attractive and wanting to grab me and kiss me, had gotten my sexual wheels turning a bit.
Nate soon got up and wished me goodnight, saying that he was going to shift back into wolf form and do some more patrolling of the area around the house.
Before he turned and jogged down the porch steps, he looked at me intently. "It's been a pleasure to talk to you, Liz. I hope you have a wonderful night."
Something about the way he looked at me sent a little thrill rippling through me. I
