The
picture called her like it always did. She could almost feel the damp earth
under her skin, the breeze on her back as she curled into herself, frightened
and alone, had it not been for him. Meagan traced the outline of the
magnificent tiger with her fingers. Warmth seeped through her fingertips, and
sparks of electricity danced over her skin, and took her breath away.
“They
say the first shift is always the worst.”
The
deep gravelly voice behind her pulled Meagan out of her fevered imaginings and
she turned away from the painting with a nervous laugh. Hunter Jackson smiled
down at her, and she barely supressed a groan. What must he think of her?
“It’s
just a silly legend. Shifters aren’t real.” She grimaced at the breathy quality
of her voice, but being this close to the head of the art gallery sent her
libido and heart rate into overdrive. Hunter had been her secret crush from the
minute she started to work here, but he’d never before looked at her with such
intensity that his amber eyes seemed to glow.
He
stepped closer, crowding her against the wall, until the gallery faded.
“Look
again, little one.”
