had been spinning with ways of how to talk herself out of it, but she hadn’t exactly imagined that the solution would be presented to her so readily, and in such a pantymelting package!
    “I saw your ad,” Sonya heard herself saying.
    She wasn’t sure where she was going with it quite yet, but it seemed like a better idea to roll with it than to keep staring at him like some lovesick schoolgirl. Sonya ignored the loud voice in her head that told her to just throw herself at him and let her usual fast mouth take over instead.
    “What ad?”
    “The one on SassyDate! About looking for a mate. That’s what I’m here for,” she said, smiling broadly.
    Diesel looked just as confused as he did before. Sonya angled herself a little, turning her left jacket pocket towards him.
    “My phone’s right here. Check it,” she urged.
    Reluctantly, the big man crossed back to her and fished the phone out of her pocket. Being so close to him was near-torture. His smell alone made her panther reconsider all the obscenities she wanted to lug at him and roll over for him like a bitch in heat instead. For a moment, she wondered whether it was because they were the same species. She’d rarely, if ever, met another black panther, and she’d definitely not felt such a burning attraction for someone before. Though, she had to admit that she’d probably want him just as badly even if he wasn’t a panther but just a fucking sexy piece of manmeat. Yum.
    Focus! No getting goo-goo eyed for the sheriff.
    Easier said than done, of course.
    Diesel switched on the phone and unlocked it. His eyes went wide with surprise, so much so that Sonya had to keep from bursting out laughing. Diesel Wake was obviously never surprised, and caught off-guard even less often, so seeing him at a loss for words and reactions was definitely worth a good giggle.
    “The fuck is this!?” he growled, looking up at her with expectant eyes.
    As if she’d been the one to plot how to get him a good wife and a good life. Now Sonya laughed in earnest, though it was short-lived after seeing the look that went over Diesel’s expression. Seemed that the Lieutenant Commander hadn’t quite got used to life outside of the protective arms of the military yet.
    “That’s a mail-order bride ad if I’ve ever seen one,” Sonya noted mildly, beginning to feel more comfortable in the conversation she had landed in.
    “Who are you? And how did you find it?” Diesel asked, obviously straining to keep his tone calm.
    “I’m Sonya. Pleased to meet you,” she said, knowing full well that her words were dripping with sarcasm. “I found it on the site – SassyDate. It’s a pretty popular dating app for shifters and humans. Haven’t you heard of it?” she asked, cocking a brow.
    Though she’d been out of the dating game for a long, long time, even Sonya knew what SassyDate was. The Lieutenant Commander seemed to have spent most of his time under some sort of rock, or at least far from the internet, if he didn’t know the number one dating app making the rounds amongst shifters and the humans that loved them.
    “Look, I understand you weren’t exactly expecting this, but I saw your ad and I thought you looked like a nice guy. I figured, why the hell not – Idaho sounds like a pleasant place to visit this time of year.”
    She wanted badly to make a face (come on, who wanted to visit Idaho?), but managed to keep her expression honest and earnest. Sneaking around and getting into trouble for the better part of her life had at least made her a competent liar, if not more.
    “So you came to Shifter Grove, not knowing a thing about me, just because of an ad on a dating site?”
    Well, sure, when he put it like that, it did sound a little insane. But those were the cards Sonya had dealt herself so she was just going to have to roll with it. She nodded eagerly, giving him her best smile.
    “Yup. I’m a go-getter girl. If I see something I like, I go and get it,” she said,
