over a dozen silver, pitted marks on Marcus chest, stomach, back and thighs. Nathan even
thought he d seen a few on the man s genitals when they d showered, but he d felt like a
pervert when he d tried to move things aside and get a closer look.
The scars puzzled him since shifters& didn t scar. As much as he d like to think he was
special, different from other shifters, today s events had proven Nathan was not. How could
he believe he wasn t like them after what he d done outside?
Shying away from those thoughts, Nathan dug in the bathroom cabinet until he found
what he was looking for. He d picked up on more than Marcus knew he had earlier, and
while he couldn t do anything about the man s disgust with his thin form, at least not yet, he
could help him rediscover the attractive man underneath all the facial fur.
As for the long, curly blond hair, well, as much as Nathan liked it, Marcus memories of
himself had clearly depicted him with a cut so short and pale that Nathan had first thought
the man bald. The fact that he d been distracted and more interested in memorising the
man s gorgeous mug might have contributed to Nathan s first erroneous assumption.
Scissors, electric razor, good ol kajillion-bladed razor, shaving cream. Nathan
considered his selections and scratched at his own chin. He d never grown any facial hair,

and if that made him a freak, oh well. The only reason any of the shaving stuff was here was
because he preferred to keep the rest of his body from the neck down, anyway virtually
hairless as well.
Oh! Washcloth, hand towel& Nathan turned to dig in the small linen cupboard
beside the sink. A glimpse of movement in his peripheral vision was the only warning he got,
that and the intoxicating scent he knew was solely Marcus .
Did you sleep well? Nathan turned, cloths in hand, and felt his dick swell in his
sweats. Marcus had wrapped the sheet around him, but damned if it mattered. Nathan had
been dealing or not dealing, as the case may be with spontaneous erections since he d first
caught a hint of Marcus smell. He was resigned, and not unhappily so, to the fact that
Marcus just did it for him.
He wasn t as easily accepting of the man being a shifter, but that was a hurdle Nathan
knew he d have to cross. Rick wouldn t be happy about it, and Rick s opinion was one of the
few that mattered. This was something he really needed to examine later. He knew with a
surety that thrummed throughout his body that Marcus wasn t a mindless, vicious killer.
Neither was he, but, again, he didn t want to dwell on any of that right now.
Marcus was staring at him with an unfathomable expression. If it wasn t for all the
facial fuzz, Nathan might have a clue what the other man was thinking. Prying through the
weird link they shared wasn t productive sometime during the past few hours, Marcus had
put up some very effective mental barriers.
Nathan crossed his arms over his chest, tucking the cloths under his elbows, and jutted
out one hip as he glared at the bigger man. That s not fair. You can pop into my head
whenever, but I can t do the same? Nathan twisted his upper body round as he waved one
hand at the items on the counter by the sink. He turned back to Marcus and thrust the
washcloth and hand towel at him. I thought you might like to whack off that gnarly beard,
but you probably already knew that.
Nathan wanted to take back the bitchy words immediately, but Marcus eyes crinkled
in the corner and a huff of skittery breath Nathan suspected might be laughter sent all of
Nathan s thoughts scattering in the wind. His eyes widened and his mouth dropped open.
He knew he had to look like a fool, but he was utterly astounded by the resiliency of the man
before him.

You re cute when you re pissy, Marcus scratched out. I think I like it. Makes the
green in your eyes darken and the silver stand out in an amazing contrast.
Nathan rolled his pretty eyes and huffed. Flatterer. Way to kill off a hissy fit. Come on.
Sit on the toilet and let me get to work.
Marcus moved steadily, his strength already returning, Nathan noted. Nathan also
couldn t miss the fact that, seated as Marcus was, his head came too close to the middle of
Nathan s chest. Nathan s sexual attraction to this man was growing exponentially with each
interaction between them, and he knew Marcus was drawn to him as well. What he didn t
know was whether they would be able to work things out between them. Men often made
the wrong assumption about Nathan s preferences, and it d caused more than one
uncomfortable scene when he d set them right.
Tapping his foot as he stared into Marcus eyes, Nathan gave a mental shrug. Top,
bottom, or switch?
What? Marcus barely got the word out before Nathan sensed the man s sudden swell
of panic. Marcus lowered his head and stared at something on the floor.
Marcus? Nathan glanced at the floor just to make sure there wasn t something he
