The twinkle in her eyes drew him like a magnet.
    “If you did, I think I’d have them by now,” he whispered in her ear.
    She laughed and pressed a kiss to his cheek. “I guess that’s true.”
    The waitress brought two big glasses of water, took their orders, and then hurried off to help the next customer.
    “I’m going to go to the bathroom to wash up. I’ve got a little more of the trail on me than I’d like when it comes to eating.”
    He nodded. “Good idea. They’re in that far corner.” He pointed her in the direction she needed to go.
    Wyatt watched her weave her way through the crowded tables. Before she made it to the hallway, a tall, dark-headed man stood up from his table, blocking her path. The hair on Wyatt’s neck prickled, and his lip curled when he recognized him.
    Jaden was a Coyote shifter who had caused trouble for several members of Wyatt’s pack. The fact that he was anywhere near Isabelle made his Wolf sit up and growl.
    Jaden leaned close, making Isabelle lean away. The look of irritation she gave the guy was priceless.
    Tension radiated through Wyatt’s frame. If Jaden became foolish enough to lay a hand on her, he may rip both of the man’s arms off and beat him with them.
    With a furrowed brow, Jaden stared at Isabelle until she brushed past him. Then he locked gazes with Wyatt. Predictably, the guy headed in his direction.
    “Your girlfriend isn’t all that friendly,” Jaden said by way of greeting.
    “She is to me.” Wyatt took a swig of the beer the waitress had brought when he wasn’t looking.
    “And she smells funny. What the fuck is wrong with her?”
    “Nothing. Maybe that world-class sniffer of yours is off. Why do you care, Jaden?”
    “I don’t,” he scoffed. “But something isn’t right about her.”
    Wyatt shrugged. “I think you’ve been sniffing more than the local shrubbery. What are you doing here? I thought you were under orders to remain in your own territory.”
    “I’ve been checking in with some old friends.”
    “Didn’t realize you had any,” Wyatt observed.
    “That’s harsh, Hotah. I have friends. Just because we don’t get along doesn’t mean I’m the one with the problem.”
    “True. But you have a talent for pissing off everyone west of Rapid City.”
    Jaden gave them an evil grin. “It’s a point of pride for me.”
    “Uh, Wyatt, is Mr. Doesn’t-Know-the-Meaning-of-Personal-Space a friend of yours?” Isabelle asked when she returned. The look she gave Jaden made it clear she wasn’t impressed.
    Wyatt chuckled. “I’ve never called him that.”
    “Funny. Me either,” Jaden said with exaggerated cheer.
    Isabelle’s brow rose.
    Grudgingly, Wyatt made the introduction. “Isabelle this is Jaden. Jaden”—he gave the man a hard look—“was about to leave.”
    “It’s true.” Jaden shrugged. “I’m late for a meeting with my shrink.”
    Wyatt rolled his eyes.
    “Well don’t let us keep you.” She brushed past Jaden and took her seat.
    Jaden seemed surprised by her abrupt dismissal, which made Wyatt grin. “Give Stewart my best.” Stewart was Jaden’s pack leader.
    “Sure.” With a last look in Isabelle’s direction, Jaden added, “Remember what I said. Something’s fishy there.” He tapped the side of his nose. “If I gave a shit, I might figure it out for myself, but since it’s you….”
    “Yeah. Thanks.”
    Wyatt watched until Jaden disappeared through the front door. What the hell was he talking about? There was nothing wrong with how Isabelle smelled. Yeah, his nose twitched when he got close to her, but he dismissed it as a bad combination of bug spray and sunscreen.
    But Drew needed to know Jaden had been sniffing around for some reason.
    He sighed. One more thing to deal with.
