Her footsteps were softer than usual as she wrapped her arms around me from behind and

inhaled, her face pressed between my shoulder blades. She sighed.

“I got Chinese, I dunno if you like it, if you don’t, we can make something else,” I offered. She

chuckled into my back.

“I’m sure it’s better than the rundown buffet joints I frequented in my college days,” she

joked.

“Probably,” I answered, and wondered how much lamer I could sound. I tugged her around in front of me and looked down at her, but she just wrapped her arms back around me, and I folded her against me securely. This felt right. I hadn’t been sure what state Briar would be in

when I got here. She missed me, apparently, and holding her felt good. I inhaled, and the

sweet scent of wisteria faintly laced her normal scent. Good. She’d need her wolf’s strength in

the weeks that followed. I would look at this as progress, even though it hadn’t come about in

the way I had intended. I ran my fingers through her hair and gripped the back of her head

gently, willing her eyes to find mine.

“I saw the press conference. How are you doing?”

She shrugged, eyes not leaving mine, “As good as can be expected, I guess, but I have a plan to keep him busy, I’m going to ruin him where it hurts the most.”

“Oh?” She grinned mischievously. Her wolf was already doing wonders for her, and I loved it.

A throat cleared. “At least let us get our dinner before you fuck her brains out on the counter,”

Mazzie said, amusement in her eyes as I glanced up. Briar’s arms slipped around my waist, and

I held her to me. She burrowed her face into my chest in embarrassment.

“Your timing is impeccable,” she said as she pulled away from me, but I yanked her back,

pulling her back into my chest and wrapping my arms around her and kissing her cheek.

“I’ve walked in on worse, haven’t I, Maze?”

Mazzie made a noise in the back of her throat, “Fine, we are even.”

“Not even close, the last time I remember waking up at your place, before Briar, looking for a

cup of coffee, you had Lana perched on the counter in a skimpy nighty and you were on your

knees. Tell me, is Lana the only pillow princess in the relationship, or do you switch?”
