heard footsteps and then twigs breaking. Two sets of footsteps if she
wasn’t mistaken. Yep, caught in the act.
Another twig broke and soon she was
looking at a naked Ian and a naked … oh my God, it wasn’t who she thought it
would be. It was Ash who quickly covered his cock with both his hands when he
saw Eve standing there.
“Eve, what are you doing out here?” Ian
asked.
“I should be asking you the same thing. I
knew you were coming here for sex but I had no idea it was with…” She couldn’t
get the words out.
“No, no, this isn’t what it looks like,”
he said, stepping toward her.
There was she thinking it was Chloe who
was messing around when all the time Ash had been cheating on her.
“And you, Ash, you’re a married man. You’re
a father, for God’s sake.”
“No, Eve, please, let us explain,” said
Ash, now hiding behind a tree trunk. “This isn’t what it seems. Liam and Sam
couldn’t make it today and at the last minute I came along. I have Chloe’s car
because mine’s at Liam’s shop, that’s how I met up with Ian.”
“I don’t believe it for a minute,” Eve
said.
Ian
took two strides over to her. It was the first time she’d seen him without an
erection and even now he was impressive. Oh God, why was she thinking about
that at a time like this?
“We’re bears. We took off our clothes so
we could shift and run and it’s not…”
How dare he make fun of her and come up
with some ridiculous bullshit story about bears. What was it with this guy and
his bears?
She took two strides over to him and
slapped his face.
“Eve, please, Ash and I aren’t lovers,
we’re bears, and really, we are.”
She gave him the finger before turning and
running toward her car. She got in and tried to not look at Ian who now at
least had his jeans on, running behind the car shouting for her to stop.
****
Shit, shit and
double shit.
Ash finally came out from behind the tree
and retrieved his clothes and got dressed.
“Can you believe that?” Ian asked. He
still held his face where she’d slapped him. It had hurt his soul more than his
body.
“You know how women are, whether they’re
human or shifter, they’re overly dramatic,” Ash said pulling on his shoes. “I
avoid Chloe at all costs when it’s her time of the month. Maybe Eve’s got PMS,
too.” He suddenly stopped talking and instead burst out laughing. “Now she
thinks we’re lovers and you’re definitely not my sort of bear.”
“I’m glad you find this whole thing so
damn funny,” Ian said. “What am I going to do?”
“I don’t think she’s going to listen to
anything you have to say so I suggest sending a peacemaker. Sort of an
intermediary,” Ash said, slapping him on the back.
They began to walk back to Ian’s bike and
Chloe’s car. “Do you think I did right by telling her about us being bears?”
“Do you want to continue seeing her or
not?”
“I do, I really do.”
“Then she’s got to find out sometime. So
how about I get Chloe to chat with her? She’s a fellow human so she’ll know how
to put this matter right.”
****
Eve slammed the car door shut. Right now
her blood pressure was probably through the roof. She knew she’d been crazy to
get herself involved with another man and so soon after moving here and
promising herself this was her me time. No man, no complications, just her career, business, and getting on with
her life sans male. Why could she never take her own advice? She was great
giving to other people. Her baby sister, for example. Her patients, but
herself, no, and that’s what angered her the most.
But Ian wasn’t just any man. No woman in
their right mind would have been able to resist him.
And poor Chloe. Things were worse for her.
She was married to Ash and they had a child. How could he do that to the poor
girl? She’d heard some poor excuses that men made for their behavior and
cheating, but Ian’s would be one for the books. Bears, my ass.
