The question
"Mmm," I say with my lips pursed.
Ryker's face softens as he misunderstands my terse reply. "Don't worry - the Headmistress will get you sorted out soon, love. You'll be able to shift in no time." I did shift tonight, while under the thumb of my mate...not that I can tell him that.
I struggle to hide the wince on my face. "I'm sure she will," I agree.
He pats the bed next to him so we can start a movie, but I freeze as I realize something. Ryker can probably smell another male on me. I'm shocked he hasn't smelled it already, to be honest, but I don't want to take any more chances. "You know, it's actually been a really long day. I'm just going to take a quick shower." Ryker nods in understanding and I hurry to the bathroom with a change of clothes.
