Did I?
He sounded a little more than mischievous. The guy was definitely up to something. Where are we going?
I want a little time with you before tonight. Is that okay?
Alone time with Dastien? You read my mind.
He laughed, because that wasn’t far from the truth. Ever since I’d gone furry for the first time, we’d been using this form of communication more and more. It was easier than talking aloud. Or maybe I just liked it better. It felt special.

Dastien finally slowed as he turned the car onto a dirt road.
Huh. I’d never been down here, and for good reason. The “road” was practically a deer path.
A loud thunk rattled the car as it bottomed out. The scratching noise pained me. “Holy crapola! That sounded like it hurt.”
“Eh. I’m sure it’s fine.”
The guy had lost his mind. After ten minutes of holding onto the “oh shit” bar, he finally stopped the car in the middle of the forest.
I unbuckled and got out. “Where are we?”
He gave me a small smile, and a wave of his nerves hit me. “This way.”
Why was he nervous?
I sighed. Sometimes Dastien wasn’t the most forthcoming person. I could’ve dug into his mind and figured out what we were doing. At least, I was pretty sure I could do that now that our bond had strengthened, but being patient was the better route. Snooping of any kind was rude, especially the mental kind.
I followed behind him as he wove through trees. After a little bit we hit a clearing.
The grass, brush, and flowers were wild and overgrown. I could hear and smell the wildlife that lived there. The view even had a small lake—okay maybe a pond, but whatever—it was amazing. “Wow. This is awesome. How did you find this?”
“You like it?” He was still nervous.
Not going to pry. Not even going to think about it. The temptation was too strong.
I was quiet for a second as I walked closer to the pond. The clearing was massive. Acres. It’s beautiful.
Dastien’s cheeks reddened.
Holy shit. He was blushing. My mate was actually blushing.
Something was up. Something was special about this land, and I wasn’t getting it. I looked around again, trying to figure out what this was about, but nothing sprang to mind.
He closed the distance between us and pulled me into a hug. “I know I said we didn’t have to move in together, but I thought one day, this could be a good place to live.”
I laughed. “Here?” There wasn’t anything around except for a forest and a pond.
“Here.” The nerves were back.
What was he talking about?
“It’s kind of like a dual birthday and bonding present.”
“My brain isn’t functioning.” I blinked a few times, trying to process his words. “This—all of this land—is a present? For me?”
“For us. The spread is about fifty acres. We could build a house near the lake. There are fish and it’s quiet. Plenty of room to go for runs. Not too far from your parents or brother—if they stay in Texas. Obviously, it’s a long-term thing. But my cabin won’t work forever, and when we start to think about a family and—”
Wow. My mind was blown.
