tonight to see you already cut into my writing time.”
    Leaf backed off immediately, his attitude changing to sulking in the blink of an eye. “Whatever.”
    “Maybe next time you’re in town we can get together.” Sage’s words were rushed and apologetic, but Leaf was already trotting back into the bar like the sulky little bitch he was.
    Sage sighed and thrust a hand through her hair before climbing into her car a moment later.
    Nathan waited a moment, watched the red taillights turn onto the road, and then turned to the pile of clothes he’d shirked a few minutes ago. Grinding them into the dirt one last time, he hoped they’d be written off as abandoned from some homeless or drunk guy.
    The alternative was an exploded mess of cotton and denim that would raise many more questions that he couldn’t afford to be asked.
    Taking a slow, deep breath in, Nathan sprinted from the woods and ran after her car.
    This was the danger zone. The moment where you hoped to fucking God nobody saw the naked man running down the street, who suddenly morphed into a wolf.
    Right. Because that wouldn’t draw any questions.
    His body began to shift. The bones and muscles stretching and twisting. Popping. Changing in ways that shouldn’t have been impossible. Black fur slid out to replace skin and his nails grew into claws.
    With a howl exploding from low in his throat, he dropped to all fours and the beam of an oncoming car’s headlights swept over him a moment later.
    The squeal of brakes sounded as the car swerved to the right. The driver wouldn’t have seen him shift, but was likely still surprised at the sight of a wolf in the middle of the road.
    Cursing in his head, Nathan picked up the pace and tried to stay closer to the tree line as he followed Sage’s fading taillights.
    She wasn’t driving overly fast on the small back road, so keeping up wasn’t an issue.
    This chick better not live in the shit middle of Fresno or some other crowded city, or else he was fucked. He’d have to ditch her and the plan entirely and start over.
    But he was banking on the fact that she lived nearby. It was in the middle of nowhere, for God’s sake. Surely most of the patrons lived in B.F.E. as well.
    And yet she had a female hard-on for that pansy ass musician. Which meant there was a good chance she would’ve driven from the big city to see him.
    When she made no move to turn off the main road that was heading back to Fresno, doubt flickered through him and the first seeds of worry gripped his gut.
    Shit . Had he wasted his time tonight?
    Her right blinker went on and relief replaced his unease. She slowed before turning onto a smaller dirt road that led up into the granite hills.
    And it’s on .
    Biting back a howl of triumph and relief, Nathan followed after.
    The rock and gravel from the road bit into his paws, but he barely felt it as grim determination took over.
    Already he played out in his head exactly what was going to happen next.
    His gut twisted. Guilt—so unfamiliar—stabbed through him. Yeah, he’d been committing petty crimes left and right on his journey down here, but what was about to happen next wasn’t going to be pretty.
    Seeing the shape of the house in the distance, he hardened his heart and channeled all his training from being a leader in the P.I.A. over the years.
    This wasn’t personal. In the end Sage would be just fine, but for now she was about to become collateral damage.
    Sorry, Curls …

Chapter Four
    Turning off the engine, Sage sat in the darkness of her car and stared at her house.
    What a night. What an absolutely wonderful and completely bizarre night.
    Leaf had noticed her. He’d actually kissed her. Not to mention, well, tried for a bit more. By the end of the night he’d wanted to come back to her house.
    She wasn’t stupid. She’d known exactly what he’d been asking for. Leaf wanted to sleep with her.
    How long had she daydreamed about him? How long had she played with the idea of
