.He waved the rag at Taylor as he spoke.“I feel as if I can take on any bad guy now.”Taylor shook his head as he grinned at Avery.“All right.I believe you.”Avery knew that Taylor didn’t believe him.No one did.But then again, what did he expect? He’d been afraid of everything his entire life.Was everyone supposed to believe he’d changed overnight?Taylor loaded the dishes into the sink as Avery grabbed the broom from the utility closet.He was tired and ready to go home.The sun had already set, and the last of the customers had trickled out.Not that Avery’s mind had been on working.For the past few hours, his thoughts had been on what kind of adventure he could get into.Before he’d been kidnaped and dangled by a rope with a bomb attached to him, Avery had been fearful of the world, not to mention the dark.Now? He was still afraid of the dark.Nearly being killed hadn’t changed that.“So, I was thinking that maybe we could go rock climbing or wrestle a bear this weekend,” Avery said while placing the chairs on the tables so he could sweep.Taylor finished the last of the dishes and wiped his hands on a towel as he turned to face Avery.“Nevada would ring my neck if I went looking for a bear to fight.After the fiasco with the Feds, boring and quiet are the only things either of us are willing to get into.”“If I ever find my mate, I’m not going to let him boss me around,” Avery said with certainty as he began to sweep.“He’s going to respect whatever I want to do, however I want to do it.If I want to wrestle a bear, he’s going to go get me that bear.”Taylor laughed, and Avery found the noise annoying.He was being serious, and his friend thought he was kidding around.Everyone who knew him thought Avery’s newfound backbone amusing.“Have you ever considered who Fate has paired you with?” Taylor asked.Avery paused and pursed his lips, giving Taylor’s question serious consideration.“Maybe someone a little braver than me, sweet, smiles a lot, and opens doors for me.I want a chivalric man who treats his mama with respect and likes to hold hands.”“That’s quite a list.”It was, but Avery also knew the kind of man he didn’t want.Dominant, bossy, arrogant, any kind of predatory shifter.He wasn’t brave enough to be mated to someone who scared him—newfound backbone or not.“Maybe I’ll look online and see if they have one for sale on Amazon.Lord knows that website has everything.”Taylor’s grin grew wider.“Or Walmart.”Avery gaped at Taylor.“Oh, heck no.Have you seen some of the people who shop there?” He shook his head.“I’d rather ask the next stranger I meet to go out on a date than pick anyone up from that place.Discount isn’t always a good thing.”When the bell over the door jingled—a shopkeeper’s bell their boss had installed two months prior—Avery glanced up and nearly dropped the handle of his broom.“Sorry, we’re closed,” Taylor said as he came to stand beside Avery.“I just needed directions,” the stranger said, and Avery felt as if the air had been sucked right out of his lungs.The guy didn’t smell like shifter or a human.He had no clue what the stranger was, but devastatingly handsome definitely fit.He had eyes the color of coal, hair as black as raven wings, facial hair that begged to be nibbled on, and a body that shouldn’t be covered with clothes.The stranger was all dark looks and sensual features.The black suit he wore made everything only come together in one delicious package.The man seemed made for wicked pleasure.Before his encounter with a rope and a bomb, Avery would’ve fainted when faced with such an imposing figure.He felt a little lightheaded but managed to remain upright.“Do you know of the Miller place?” Mr.Tall, Dark, and Handsome asked.Taylor took a few steps back, pulled his phone out and began to dial as Avery nodded.“I know the place.”The stranger moved closer until he stood directly in front of Avery.Lifting his hand, the stranger brushed the back of his knuckles over Avery’s cheek, making him inhale sharply.The man’s gaze flickered over his face as the corner of the guy’s mouth lifted in a slight smile.Avery would remember that smile much later when he was all alone, doing naughty things to his own body [ Pobierz całość w formacie PDF ]
