Chapter 13: Sharing a Room

It’s not easy to sleep with a werewolf in the same room as you. I don’t think Nick is going to eat me, but it’s hard not to feel nervous around him. I find myself lying on my side—which isn’t how I normally sleep—and watching him. There’s not much to see. He’s just lying there, also on his side, facing away from me, snoring quietly. It’s not a loud noise. It’s actually kind of cute. It would be nice, maybe, to be on the other side of him. I am just the right size to be his little spoon.

No. No horny thoughts! He’s not even a human, and even if he were, the last thing I can afford right now is to complicate things with romantic interest. He is my colleague in my effort to solve the mystery of my mother’s death. He is not a potential hook-up, or boyfriend. I need to stay serious, professional, and vigilant. No matter what, my guard has to stay up.
