“Whose rude now?”
“I demand to know.”
“I demand not to tell you unless I want to, and I don’t want to.”
“I’ll give you fifty bucks.”
“A hundred and you have to tell me what you are.”
“Fine,” Moira gritted out.
His smile was feral as he leaned closer, and his dark brown eyes lightened to a glowing gold once again. “Bear.”
“Holy shit,” Lance said.
“Language,” Birdie said. “Does anyone want to know what I am?”
“No,” Moira deadpanned, unable to take her eyes from Cam’s. A bear, huh? The asshole was somehow getting even hotter. What a problem she’d run into today.
She pulled her wallet from her back pocket and pulled out a hundred-dollar bill, then handed it to him. “You’re a pretty wussy bear shifter if you need to wear all those layers.”
“I wear them to keep the humans happy.” He snatched the cash from her hand. “Now you.”
“Now you what?”
“Tell me what you are.”
“I can tell you what I am!” Birdie called.
Moira and Cam stayed locked in a glare. “Black cat,” she admitted at last.
“Like a panther?”
“No, like a black housecat.”
“Ha!” he belted out, his single laugh echoing through the woods. “Ha ha ha. Fuck, that’s good.” He walked away shaking his head.
“You don’t believe me?” she asked.
“Oh, I do.” He turned and walked backwards. “I’ve done a lot of these tours, but I can already tell this one is going to be the most entertaining.”
She wanted to claw him.
“A hamster,” Birdie called with a big vacant smile on her face.
The blood drained from Moira’s face. “What?”
“I’m a hamster shifter!” Birdie looked so pleased with herself.
“I named her hamster Raisin,” Lance said, and now they were giggling, but Moira found nothing funny about the terrifying words that had just spilled from Birdie’s mouth.
“But…your name is Birdie. You’re a bird shifter.” Damn the shake in Moira’s tone as her adrenaline spiked up.
“Nope. I’m a cream-colored little hamster,” Birdie said around a stupid grin.
The horror inside of Moira bubbled up as she realized what Birdie was. She was that little rodent that had been in her cabin, sent from the devil himself to scare her to death and eat her snacks!
With a screech, Moira jumped off her ATV and went running.
