EXCERPT “Aren’t you going to ask why I need you? Why I’m
sitting here in a blanket at my vacation home
instead of at the office? Or why I just shifted
from a wolf form to this one?” Mr. Meade asked. “It’s all occurred to me, sir.” Mr. Meade held up his hand. “Call me Dixon. I
insist.” Right. “Dixon.”
It didn’t sound right. “I don’t believe what I
saw, plain and simple. None of it seems right.
Did you really need those papers?” “I do.” Dixon rested his elbows on his knees.
“Sidney?” “You’ve thrown me for a loop.” He sighed. “What
do you need from me?” He must’ve heard that wrong. “Marriage?” Dixon
had to be kidding. “Why?” “You’re not still shocked by my abilities?”
Dixon chuckled. “Sid?” “I’m overwhelmed, yes, but I don’t also see why
you need to get married. And if you do, why not
choose someone you love instead of rushing
this?” There was no way Dixon loved him. They’d worked closely together
for the last three years, so it made sense
they’d have a bond, but not enough to get
married. Beyond that, he wasn’t sure what to
think about his boss shifting. “You could buy a husband. I bet you could have a
reality show find you a husband.” It’d kill him
to see Dixon with someone else, but he knew his
place and it wasn’t with Dixon. “I need to hold on to my land and because
marriage shows I have more power.” “Ah, so it’s a convenience. That’s why you
should get a reality show. You could buy one.
You could buy a husband. I bet there’s a hundred
men out there who’d dump everything to be your
faux-husband.” “It’s not that easy, nor do I want a reality
show. I didn’t make my money to throw it away on
something so trivial.” “So I’m the closest available.” “Sort of.” “I’m not sure this is a good idea.” He had too
much to wrap his head around. Jesus. He hadn’t
known people could shift into animals or
whatever. Craziness. “Maybe if I explain,” Dixon said. “And wasn’t
clad in a blanket.” “That might help.” Sidney needed time to process
everything that had happened, everything he’d
been told. His world had changed in an instant.
Shifters were real and he knew one. Holy shit. Reviews Coming Soon!
