Shadow Kissed (Magic Side: Wolf Bound 4) - Page 120

“Good morning.” He leaned down and kissed me, his touch slow and sensual. Liquid heat pooled between my legs, and goosebumps pebbled my skin. Jaxson smiled against my mouth. “You look good in my clothes.”

“Uh, you still there, Savy?” Casey asked, reeling me back to reality. “Because I still am, and I can hear Jaxson talking sexy in the background. I mean, I can go if you’re busy, but if things are gonna get interesting, I’ll stay on the line.”

Before I knew what was happening, Jaxson snagged my phone and turned the speaker on.

“Where are we supposed to meet you?” Jax asked, as he quickly kissed my lips then began working down my neck.

“The workshop. I’m there now. How about meeting me at eight?”

Jaxson froze and we exchanged shocked glances. By workshop, Casey meant the factory where my family made wolfsbane. I’d only been there once.

“You’re kidding,” Jaxson said flatly.

“I’m not, and you don’t have to worry. It’s totally above board. Regina and Sam are going to meet me here too, and they already gave me the third degree about it.”

What the hell was going on in Magic Side? Had the world fallen off its axis? I gave Jaxson a confused look and shrugged.

“Fine. But no bullshit,” Jaxson growled.

“Of course not. I’ll see you then.” The line went dead.

“What the hell do you think he’s up to?” Jaxson asked as his hands moved down my thighs, leaving a trail of heat.

“No idea.” I grinned up at him, delighting in the hardness of his body against mine. “What do you think you’re up to?”

“No idea.” Jaxson leaned down and traced his lips over my neck. “But we’ve got fifty minutes. Just enough time for breakfast and a shower.”

Molten heat throbbed low and deep, and I whispered, “Breakfast? What do you want?”

He met my gaze, and a sinfully sexy smile ghosted his lips as he gripped my bare ass and lifted me up on the delightfully cold counter. “I have a couple things in mind.”

My stomach was still grumbling with hunger—real hunger—an hour later when we pulled into the parking lot in front of my cousin’s factory. I couldn’t believe Casey was letting werewolves, let alone the alpha, anywhere near the place.

The security guards hadn’t been able to believe it either, and it had taken three separate calls to get through the front gate.

We parked beside Regina’s truck and hopped out. Jaxson immediately began speaking with her and Sam in hushed tones, but I made a beeline for my cousin, who I hadn’t seen all week except for a couple of visits while he was still in the hospital.

He stopped pacing and hung up his phone the moment he saw me and gave me a big hug. I squeezed him back. “I feel like I haven’t seen you in ages, and—” I paused and sniffed, then my eyes shot wide. “Oh my God… you’re still a wolf?”

A sheepish expression flooded his face. “Well, sometimes I’m a wolf. I’m pretty good at shifting now.”

The world spun. Had I just walked into the twilight zone?

“But… but you were going to take the antidote!” I stammered.

Casey gave me a deeply serious look. “There’s a lot of people who need that medicine, Savannah. Not just me. I’m trying to be strong.”

I shook my head. “Who are you and what have you done with my cousin?”

He stuck his hands in his pockets and rocked back on his heels in a self-satisfied way. “Hey, I’m just trying to turn over a new leaf. To be a better man. Or wolf man. Say no to prejudice and hate and fleas.”

The shock of his words practically took my knees out from under me. Could getting bit and living through a shift have actually transformed my cousin into a noble and altruistic person?

I scrutinized him with all my senses.

Not a chance.

Then the pieces clicked into place. I suppressed a knowing grin that tugged at my lips, and gave him a hard, interrogating look instead. “There’s a girl, isn’t there.”

“Absolutely not,” he said, lyingly. “And if there was, it wouldn’t affect my thinking.”

I rolled my eyes. “Okay. Who is she, Casey?”

“You’ve got me all wrong Savannah, I’m a changed man!”

I crossed my arms. “You have to be seeing a werewolf. Nothing else would keep you this way. Cough up the details.”

He gritted his teeth. “Okay, fine. Her name is Mira. She’s part of the pack.”
