“Maybe,” Everett said. “But once they found an easy way to make money and they haven’t ever been caught, they might not want to give up their criminal pursuit. Last year, Demetria and I went after a jaguar who was robbing banks. He thought he was invincible. He would have continued robbing banks until the police, or the feds caught him. We couldn’t let that happen. His ex-girlfriend, also a jaguar, turned him into us. She couldn’t believe he was doing that. She said that he had told her he worked for a company online. When she saw some of the security videos of him on several news stations, she realized it was him, despite his disguise, and knew about our organization and called Martin. So we were assigned the mission of taking him into custody. When we arrested him, he said he’d lost his job and to make ends meet, he found robbing banks was an easy way to make the money. He doesn’t have to any longer. He’s in prison and will be there for years.”

“These kidnappers might be wired that way too. Who knows if they might have been doing crimes throughout the ages,” Demetria said. “The kind of crime they were committing might have changed is all. And they just haven’t been caught yet.”

“The kidnappers hadn’t expected to run across a couple of wolves,” Fisher said. “That was a shock to them. I’m sure they didn’t know if I was a shifter or not, but they would know for sure that Kira was when they smelled her. When she went to my aid, they probably figured I was too then.”

“I agree,” Kira said.

“Oh, and by the way, Fisher,” Everett said. “Demetria and I are thrilled you’re going to join us in the organization.”

“It’s not a done deal,” Fisher said, sounding like he didn’t want to get his hopes up in the event Martin said no to hiring him.

“Sure it is,” Everett said. “When we say we want you to join our team, Martin listens.”

“Everett’s right about that,” Demetria said.

Fisher smiled and glanced at Kira to see her opinion on it.

Kira smiled. “They’re right. We have to work in teams most of the time. When several of us say we want to work with you, Martin seriously takes our opinions into consideration. We need more agents. Though he usually hires people he doesn’t know well, based on their prior work experience and how well they get along with others in a pack, if they’re wolves and belong to a pack, he still doesn’t really know what they’re like or if they’ll be a good fit with the rest of us. Even I was a questionable hire. So yeah, I would say it is pretty much assured.”

Devlyn agreed. “You’ve had so many pack member recommendations also, not just the family’s, that I doubt Martin is going to consider not hiring you.”

“Vaughn would lead a revolt,” Demetria said, “and several of us would be right there with him.”

Everyone laughed.

After dinner, they all sat on the back deck and had hot cocoa and whipped cream and watched the sun set. Kira sat next to Fisher, and she really felt like she was on a date with him. She leaned against his good shoulder, and he kissed the top of her head. Of course everyone noticed and smiled.

They finally finished their mugs of cocoa, then everyone said good night and they headed home.

When Kira and Fisher arrived at his house, she told him, “I’ll help you get undressed so you can take a shower.”

“Can you help me shower?” He looked so hopeful.

She laughed. “Okay, normally, I wouldn’t do this with a male wolf I wasn’t seriously dating, but…”

“You’re taking care of me. And I want to seriously date you.”

Smiling, she shook her head. “Be serious.”

“I am completely serious.”

“Alright then.” She could go along with that for now. She helped him out of his clothes and eyed his bandage. “You’re not supposed to get it wet.”

“You know how fast we heal. It probably will be fine. Doc sent me home with spare bandages.”

“You can wash and then I’ll replace the bandages.”

He went into the bathroom to get the shower started. She quickly stripped off her clothes and joined him in the shower. Man, she never thought she would be doing this with a wolf while she was on this mission! Or dating him? She thought the stars must have aligned for them to meet like they did.

With Fisher, it just felt so natural with him. That was one thing about a wolf finding a mate. They needed to have a certain amount of compatibility, though like with humans, they would also disagree about things.

She began soaping him up and he was immediately aroused. He was soaping her up one handed, which was taking him longer, but she didn’t want to rush him because this was super nice.

He soaped between her legs, working a little longer down there than he needed to, which was getting her all worked up. At that point, she didn’t want him to stop. Ohmigod, he was going to make her come. Okay, so he was totally serious dating material.

He kissed her mouth with passion, just lips to lips at first but then deepening the kiss. He kept his fingers between her legs, stroking her beautifully. She loved the way his tongue stroked hers, titillating and tantalizing. She swiped at his, matching his passion with long, lingering caresses. He was an amazing kisser.

She felt like she was going to slide to the floor when he slipped a finger inside her feminine lips and swirled it around, sending her flying sky high. The orgasm was amazing, shattering her, and she wanted to do the same thing with him. She touched his full erection and kissed his mouth. “Are you hurting at all?”
