Chapter 52: Infection

I drive into the night, Sage quiet beside me, the miles passing under the wheels of our stolen car. I stopped in Texas to change out the plates again, just in case, but there's been no sign of pursuit, neither the normal kind nor the touch of Enforcers. So Andre has chosen to keep his mouth shut.

I just wished knowing that made me feel better.

Sage has been quiet since we left the rest stop, since our rapid love-making left us both panting and wanting more. I long to pull over into one of the small motels off the interstate and spend one last night with him. How lovely it could be, with his wolf emerging. I wouldn't have to hold back. That thought startles me. I've always been so careful with him, for fear of doing something, out of passion, we'd both regret. My wolf understood, always, and still does. Now I realize such restraint is unnecessary.
