I frequented the hardware most weeks, but I didn’t know anyone who worked at the post office. I couldn’t skulk around inside. But if my mate had a P. O. box, I could pretend I’d forgotten my key while scenting the area.
Good plan!
And yet again, I caught a faint whiff of my mate. I inhaled deeply, taking the scent into my lungs. It was the closest I could get to my mate for now, but when we finally met, I wanted to be inside him.
Thinking of being buried in my mate’s hole sent heated blood to my cock. It engorged, and I grimaced. Unless I jerked off in the car, I’d have this hard-on for hours while I was at my next job.
It was late afternoon before I was free, and not knowing where to go next, I headed to the community center. My mate might not be there, but my friends would be finishing work and maybe we could grab a bite to eat.
“Back again?” Jonah raised a brow in his very Jonah way so that it arched to a sharp point.
“I’m missing something or someone.”
“I know you wish you had a mate but?—”
I cut him off. “No, I do have a mate. I scented him at the hospital.”
“Are you sure?” Jonah felt my brow. “Not feverish.”
“And I’ve been looking for him. I get a hint of him in one place, a whiff in another, a trace of his scent somewhere else.”
Jonah put a hand on my back. “Anders, I had no idea. Hints, whiffs, traces… sounds like you’re cooking up something.”
He was teasing me. “This is serious.” I detailed where I’d been, causing chaos along the way.
“Oh, was that you I read about causing a turmoil at the gas station?”
Gas station. The guy probably had a car. I’d have to check out all the ones in town. Thank gods Oakheart was a small place.
The smile was wiped off Jonah’s lips as I typed “gas station” on my list. “It was a joke.”
“What?”
“Never mind.” He took my phone and read the places I’d checked off. “You’ve been a busy man.”
I’d had very little sleep the last few days. Even though my snow leopard wanted to meet and mark our mate, he needed to hunt, but I explained hunting for our mate took priority.
“Everyone needs to eat.”
Jonah was thinking about his stomach, and I rolled my eyes at him eating more duck.
“Fine, off you go. Is Kyle working this evening?”
He turned me around and around and around until I was dizzy.
Tell him to stop, my beast insisted.
“What did I say?” he asked.
I couldn’t recall but said the first thing that popped into my head. “Duck!”
He rolled his eyes. “Eating. The guy, whoever he is, needs to eat.”
I glanced over my shoulder at Damon’s restaurant. I could sit on the terrace nursing a soda, hoping my mate wanted to sample Kyle’s food.
“The restaurant.”
“No, the grocery store.”
