“I’ve had that Honda for seven years. It was time for a new one anyway . The clothes, my laptop, and other belongings, I can replace. But I can’t replace my life . Thank you again, Nick. No matter what you are, you do have a good heart.” Her palm left the side of his face. She turned to open the door and tossed the pack on the back seat. “ I’ll have to come up w ith a story though about how my car came to be wrecked in this town .”
He raised an eyebrow. “You never did tell me the reason you came here.”
She smiled sweetly. “That way I know you’ll definitely call me.”
“See you later, Selene.”
“Bye, Nick.” She slid on the backseat and he shut the door.
He walked up to the driver door and handed the Nash, the driv er, his fare and a tip .
Nash didn’t was te any time as he pulled off.
Nick looked after the yellow taxi cab as it began to pick up speed and merge onto the main highway. He stood there so long that the dust fanned over his face. He swallowed down the lump in his throat, and walked toward the door of the small station.
The chimes hanging over the d oorway rung as he came inside.
“Nick, man. Long time no see, bro. What have you been up to?” Charles greeted from behind the cash register.
“Nothing much, Charles. How’s the mate and pup s?”
“They’ve turned me into a slave.”
They both laughed.
“What brings you up here?” Charles asked.
“I planned a mountain climbing trip to seek solitude and get my head together . It was cut short by a band of cowards. ” Nick grimaced, thinking about the way Darius’s men had tied him up with the ropes to overpower him.
Charles leaned forward and lowered his voice. “Have you heard the rumors around here?”
“Concerning?”
“Nothing ain’t the same no more, man. You’ve got Darius and his followers threatening a whole bunch of town folk.” Charles frowned. “That wolf has been up to no good.”
“ It’s precisely why my retreat was halted .” He grabbed two box es of beef jerkies from a nearby shelf. “I need to get back to the village. I should warn you and any others to stay on this side of the property line until things are handled. ”
Charles shook his head. “As soon as we thought we had stopped that bastard … ”
The door chime rung again. Nick didn’t think to look up until he got a whiff of a familiar cinnamon fragrance . Selene…
His head jerked u p, and he focused to find her standing at the door. Even dressed down in his ove rsized clothes , she took his breath away. Although it wasn’t just her beauty that astonished him; her very presence affected h im in ways he’d never imagined.
When their eyes met, he knew in that instant why she’d come back. He dropped the jerky on the counter, quickly crossed the distance between them, and embraced her.
“Nick, I couldn’t leave. I don’t know why, but…” her words rushed out of her.
“I know . You don’t have to say anything.”
He slid his palm behind her neck and grasped her abo ut the waist with the other . She had a small frame, but her rounded hips had him thinking about the naughty things he wanted to do to her. Selene would fit perfectly to him. There was no doubt in mind.
He had to know—just had to find out how she tasted.
As Nick pulled her closer into him, she lifted her chin, and her delicate mouth parted. He bent and took her lips gently at first, testing her. Their lips glided against each other’s effortlessly. The feeling that rushed through him was heavenly. His taste buds seemed to pulse as he basked in the taste of cinnamon and honey.
Selene made no efforts to pull away and even pl aced her palm against his chest, grabbing at the fabric of his shirt. T ilting her head , he deepened the kiss , pressing firmly into her lips. She felt smooth like satin, and gentle like water. Their tongues finally touched and white hot passion seared through his chest. Her thighs molded against him when she
