章節 491: Lost something

Lara helped Nate by collecting his clothes on one side. He turned back to human, not without uncertainty. He liked being in his wolf shape if Lara petted him like that.

But, in the end, he liked more what he could do as a human, for her.

He dressed again and sat next to her on the ground. She was wearing his jacket because the breeze had turned chilly and she felt cold. So, instead of sitting on it, she leaned the jacket on her shoulders.

«Shall we get back?» Nate offered, not willing to let her suffer a minute more.

He would have offered to hug her to warm her up, but somehow he felt better at the thought of his mate safe and in a protected place. He liked that thought more than he liked hugging her, somehow.

«What do we do now?» Lara said, getting comfortable on the sofa. They could take another late-night bath. Or just roll in bed till morning...

«We sleep,» said Nate after glancing at the clock. It was late; she must have been exhausted.
