Free Blown Away (Rogues Shifter Series Book 4) by Gayle Parness

we’ll be there. Meetings won’t begin until 8 PM so we’ll have plenty of time to get back. We’ll have Liam, Jackie and two other fae with us in Los Altos , so traveling won’t be a problem.  Plus I seem to have developed a new skill, so I won’t need help.” Everyone looked at him as he grinned at us. “When I woke up in bed this afternoon I thought about taking a shower and suddenly I was standing in the shower. I’ve been playing with it for the last hour.”
    He dematerialized and was instantly standing beside Ethan on the patio. Poor Ethan almost dropped his phone, but just as quickly Garrett flashed back to me. “Eleanor’s energy is making itself more useful. Francois said it would take some time for her full powers to manifest.  She was able to do this within the villa if she concentrated, but she never liked to travel anywhere alone and so didn’t want to have to arrive and then wait for the rest of us. I don’t believe that she could carry anyone with her, like Jackie or the fae can. I’ll have to experiment with that.” Kyle and Sinc looked a little nervous. “Maybe not today.”
    Sasha got up to leave, saying, “As I recall, she’d use it to spy on us inside the villa. She’d pop in secretly when you thought you were having a private conversation with someone and then….” He shuddered . “I’ll be back in an hour.”
    I sent mentally to Garrett, “We’ll have to keep him away from Sinc. I think he’s genuinely attracted to her.”
    “He’ll follow my orders.”   He pulled me closer and whispered. “What do you think about my new skill?” He was excited, like a kid with a new toy, and his warm breath on my neck sent happy shivers dancing around my body.
    “Very cool, Monsieur Cuvier. What else could Eleanor do?”
    “Blend into shadow to make herself invisible. Liam would still see me, but weres and shifters would only scent me, I believe. I have a sneaking suspicion that you’d still see me, my lovely demon.” He grinned and then leaned in to kiss my cheek, aware that we were not exactly alone .”But I'm afraid that ability hasn’t made an appearance just yet.
    “So when do Will and Rick wake up? I’d like to get going.” Kyle was bored, never a good thing for the rest of us who’d have to listen to him complain.
    “Why don’t you, Ethan and Sinc go shoot some pool? When Liam gets here I’ll be going out to feed and then when Will and Rick wake up they’ll have to feed. We should be able to leave at 6:00.”
    “Jeez…you vampires are so high maintenance.” Kyle practically whined getting up and moving toward the stairs. Ethan, laughing, whacked him on the back of the head as Sinc followed them out.
    Garrett shook his head and smiled, pulling me over to the couch. “Because we’re all traveling to Los Altos through the lines, the pack has made arrangements for two cars to be at our disposal while we’re there. Rob already drove over the portable lab." Sinc insisted on having a lab at her disposal.
    "So who's taking who through the lines?"
    The three fae can take two people each which covers the team and the nest. We can get ourselves there. Is there anything else that I’m not thinking of?”
    “I’ve packed for us, but you should check my work to see if it meets with your approval.” I ran my hand down his arm and twined my fingers through his.  “Meanwhile I’ll take a shower and you can pick out what you want me to wear and leave it on the bed.” Garrett loved to buy me beautiful clothes and then see me in his outfits. I brought his hand up to my lips and gave it a gentle kiss.
    “I would be honored to pick out Madame’s attire for this evening. I’ll make sure that it shows off all of her many assets.” He looked me up and down with a flirty gleam in his eye.
    “We’re meeting with a bunch of weres. It might not be a good idea to show off too many of my so-called assets.”
    He arched an eyebrow. “Duly noted. I’ll lean more toward
