“Please tell me you weren’t going to get in the car with that demon behind the wheel,” Blake said, watching the cloud of dust trailing behind what was left of the Pontiac.
“My God, no. I’ve left my days of living dangerously behind me. Speaking of which, how was the trip? No rogue cartoon characters tried to hurt Ethan, did they?”
“Fun-nee.” He leaned in and brushed his lips over hers, and she let out an appreciative whimper. Reunion sex. She hated when he had to leave for a few days at a time – he turned down all jobs that might take longer than that – but she loved reunion sex. “Ethan talked Stefanie into giving him a ride on her in horse form, and Mal got pictures. If you play your cards right, I will show them to you.”
“I always play my cards right.” She trailed her fingers over his bicep and was rewarded with his heady groan.
“Yes, you do.” He reached down and stroked her cheek. “Have you thought about what we talked about?”
Cubs. Or Kits. They had talked about children.
She took a deep breath and looked him in the eye, but she already knew what she’d find there. Pure, unadulterated love, shining from the depths of his soul.
She had opened herself up to him in a way that she never had to anybody before, and she trusted him with her life and her heart. And her cubs, kits, or whatever she had, would grow up with what she’d never had: two parents who were true fated mates, who would always have each other’s back.
And she had family here, and history, and traditions that she could pass on to those children. She was saddened that Maybelline wouldn’t be part of that; she’d started drinking again after everyone in town blamed her for siding with Dawnie against her own daughter and had headed out for parts unknown.
But Krista wasn’t alone. And her children wouldn’t be, either.
She realized that Blake was literally holding his breath.
“I have.” She nodded. “And I’m ready when you are.”
“Yes?” his face lit up. “Yes! Let’s go!” He backed out of the parking lot almost as fast as Hattie had and went screeching towards the small cabin that they were now renting from Floyd.
She rolled her window down and let the warm summer sun caress her face. With any luck, she’d be expecting in time to brag about it at the next annual family get together in two months, which would please Hattie to no end.
She reclined her seat a little and smiled as Blake rested his hand on her thigh.
She’d run from the holler so fast and so hard that she’d come full circle, and now here she was—home again.

About the Author
Hello, I am Georgette St. Clair, writer of hot, sexy romances which star all Alpha heroes, all the time. The road to love may be rocky and fraught with peril, (and humor and scorchtastic sex and healthy heapings of snark) but my shifters will stop at nothing to claim their fated mate.
A little about me: I live in Florida. My checkered career involved stints as a newspaper reporter, EMT, internet marketer, cocktail waitress, temp, nurse’s aide (but not all at the same time...)
Now I’m living my perfect life, spending my days in a fantasy universe where I nudge my smart-mouthed, take-no-guff heroines onto the path that will set them on a collision course with true love.
Check out my website for a complete list of titles and what’s coming soon. Or connect with me on Facebook.
