a man standing in the doorway. He was filming them with his phone.
Who was he? How had he opened the door?
Greg saw him too.
The man turned and ran.
“Wait here,” Greg growled.
Greg pulled up his pants and took off after the man into the night.
Chapter Six
Greg knew who he was chasing. His bear smelled him. There was only one bear in these parts who would dare intrude on such an intimate moment and that bear was Tom Cooper. Greg chased him down the apartment stairs, and Tom shifted in midstride, dropping his phone as he did. Greg smashed the device with his heel and shifted as well. If Greg could catch him, he would expel him from Wild Summit or he would die trying.
Greg hadn’t shifted for several weeks, but there was little relief or feeling of discovery as he turned into his animal form. There was only primal anger as he chased Tom’s bear through the woods. The moon shone down as he barged through brambles and branches and leaped over boulders and logs. But Tom was a black bear, and though they were smaller than grizzlies, they tended to be faster too. Greg lost sight of him.
Greg’s bear sniffed around, following Tom’s scent, and as he did, a greater concern racked him. What if there was more to Tom’s voyeuristic little episode than met the eye? What if it was a distraction, a play for something more sinister? The anger Greg was feeling was replaced by an even more powerful drive. Concern for Amanda. Greg’s bear now knew that she was the one and he wasn’t going to let anything happen to her. Not now, not ever.
Greg’s bear abandoned the scent and circled back around to Amanda’s apartment. He shifted just before he reached her apartment and knocked quietly, standing naked outside her door. His shoes and pants had been ruined in the shift. Fortunately, it was late and the neighbors appeared to be asleep.
“Greg? Is that you?”
“It’s me, Mands.”
“Thank goodness.”
She opened the door a crack to check, then she removed the security chain and let him in. She was wearing a robe now, and Greg took her into his arms.
“Did you get the phone?”
“It’s destroyed.”
“Greg. I’m so scared. Who was he?”
“Tom,” Greg said quietly.
“Tom?” Amanda said incredulously. “But why would he do that?”
“I don’t know, Mands, but I’ll protect you.”
She held him tight, burying her head in his chest, and he carried her gently to her bed. He would stay with her. He would stay with her and keep her safe all night.
**********************
Amanda awoke in Greg’s arms. They hadn’t returned to their lovemaking, not after what had happened. But still she was glad he had stayed the night. She felt safe with him there. Safe and secure. Why had Tom filmed them? Was this her fault? Was he jealous? Upset that she’d brought Greg home on what was supposed to be their date? Whatever it was, none of it was OK.
Greg had somehow managed to lose his pants in the chase, so she lent him a pair of her old oversized sweats, and though they didn’t really fit him, they were enough clothing for her to give him a ride to his place so that he could get ready for work.
Amanda was shaken by Tom’s behavior, but she refused to let it ruin her day. If she saw Tom at work, she wasn’t sure what she would do. Part of her wanted to call the police, to tell her police officer brother what had happened. The other part was embarrassed, even though she knew she had no reason to be. That being said, Amanda reflected that, with the exception of the incident with Tom, she’d had a magical night. And her mind was abuzz with possibilities. Had she entered a new chapter with Greg? Was he the one for her? Despite the previous evening’s scare, Amanda walked into the dealership that morning with a smile on her face. When she got there, Jada was solemn.
“Have you heard?” Jada asked.
“Heard what?”
“Greg and Tom are going to race.”
“As in street race?”
