providing her with a lymon yellow shirt for the game but that just made it more fun. Nothing in her home territory ever hunted her. It was why she teased the neighbour’s hounds. Sometimes, a girl wanted to be chased.
    She kept her mouth shut as the roar of the water didn’t quite mask the approach of footsteps.
    The sight of Davus caused her to sit down hard on the rocks with surprise, but it was the lithe woman next to him that sent a previously unfelt sensation through her. Jealousy.
    The woman spoke to him and inclined her head with a grin.
    Tiff seethed.

    Lee whispered to him. “She is inside the waterfall, but I can’t say that she will be happy to see you with a woman.”
    “Thank you, and thank Jim for not getting bent out of shape when I asked to borrow you, but you were spoken of while I was recovering. You were thought of very highly by a few of the other lions who came to help.”
    “I am so sorry for what you went through there. I am glad to see you moving forward with your life. From what Teal has told me, Tiff is one of a kind.”
    Davus grinned, “You are saying that like it is a bad thing.”
    “I think you need someone supportive.”
    “I believe I have found her. If I can convince her to be my mate, she won’t let me get away with anything.” He smiled. “Thank you again.”
    Lee inclined her head and left him next to the water’s edge.
    When she was gone, Davus removed his clothing and dove into the pool, swimming up to the waterfall and ducking his head under the pounding water. “I believe I win.”
    Tiff was glaring at him. “Who was that?”
    He pulled himself onto the rocky ledge next to her. “Lee. She is the wife of the owner of the Crossed Star and also the prime medic here at the Crossroads. She runs the first aid station and has the keenest nose I have ever heard of. I asked her to prove it.”
    Tiff was still frowning but she nodded. “I have heard about Lee. I haven’t run into her before. I have been avoiding the common areas.”
    He steeled himself for the next gambit. “I know. But since I have won hide and seek, albeit with help, you are paying for breakfast. And, I believe I would like a kiss.”
    She stared at him with surprise in her eyes. “A kiss?”
    “Yes. I will keep my hands down and you will kiss me.”
    “You are naked.”
    “I am aware of it, I am also dangling my legs in cold water. That should help keep me calm.” He grinned. His testicles were currently internal. The water was exceptionally cold.
    He was going to continue cajoling her, but she grabbed his head and pressed her lips to his in a juvenile mash up of mouths. She eased her assault after a few seconds and gentled the caress.
    He flicked his tongue at her lips and she shivered slightly, mimicking his movements with an innocence that sent blood rushing to his cock. She slipped her tongue into his mouth, and his hands clenched to fists on his thighs. He groaned and she pulled back.
    “Did I do that wrong?”
    Davus shuddered and slipped into the water again. “It was perfect. I will meet you on the shoreline for my breakfast.”
    He dove back under the fall and swam to his clothing. He shifted rapidly from human to bird to human again, using the magic to dry off.
    He wasn’t sure what was going through Tiff’s mind, but as he finished tying his sneakers on, she appeared at his side.
    She seemed at a loss for words. “Your colour is better.”
    He could feel it inside him, something in the centre of him was responding to her care. “I guessed as much.”
    He offered her his hand and waited.
    She bit her full lower lip and slowly slipped her small, strong hand into his. The small act of trust melted his heart and sent a pulse through his groin.
    “Well, since you are paying, I am going to make a pig out of myself.” He kept the conversation light as they made their way through the woods and into the town.
    She held his hand the whole way.
