“Not enough to affect our circle. If they were having real emotional problems, it would show.”

“We don’t want anyone running around near Silverton,” he says seriously.

“I know.”

“Decker’s been quiet but not totally under the radar. Nate says he’s caught Kelta’s scent a few times. She’s not dead.”

“Does he know anything about the Ancient Ones?”

“No. Kelta always went to the elders’ caves alone. He has no idea about any of that.”

“Disappointing,” I mutter. “I can’t find any details about it. Has Bae opened up on the subject?”

“No.”

We watch the pack for a few minutes, with Body’s eyes fixed on the oval where Caleb is leading a pack of young wolves in a ball game. I can’t tell what the rules are, and everyone is wildly shifting back and forth as they take possession of the ball.

“Should you be out there?” I ask.

“I ran around with them all morning,” he says with a grin. “I’m getting old, you know. Can’t push things at my age.”

I giggle, poking him in the ribs. “Damn. I didn’t realize I married a geezer.”

“All my important parts still work just fine.”

“What are you trying to convince me of, exactly?”

He laughs, wrapping his arms around me and hugging me, making me spill my beer. I shriek as he tackles me to the ground, and we end up rolling down the hill.

Body comes out on top and pins my shoulders, kissing me. I get my hands around his waist and under his shirt, tickling his back. He thrusts his hips towards me, and I yank on his belt.

“It doesn’t come undone on that side,” he mutters, breaking the kiss.

“I’m a witch, remember?”

I snap my fingers, and the leather belt comes alive, pulling itself out of the belt loops and slithering away across the grass.

“Okay,” he says in amusement. “I’m slightly terrified.”

“Oh, come on. You love it when I undress you.”

“Yeah, but that was my favorite belt.”

“It’ll come back.”

I reach up and kiss him, pulling him down to me. I explore his lips with mine, teasing his tongue and drawing him deeper into my mouth. The heat builds between us, and Body starts grinding against me until I can feel his cock through his jeans.

“Do I need to help out with that, or are you going to unleash the beast?”

Body braces his arms and pushes himself up a little, taking a quick look around. “I was just making sure no one was watching.”

“Oh, no one can see,” I reassure him. “I put a shield up.”

“You think of everything.”

I wiggle my fingers, and the zipper on his pants hums as it undoes itself.

“Okay, okay!” he says, laughing. He reaches down and pops open the button, shoving his pants down as I wrap my legs around him and dig my heels into his butt.
