    Andreas had left Patience and Amity in charge of the gym. The sisters worked reception for him, as well as doing just about everything he didn’t do including mailing out accounts, some bookkeeping, caring for equipment, and anything else he asked them to do. He knew they were total treasures and he hated asking them to do anything extra, but they never complained.
    “Hey, I’m happy to help. I work in a gym. I can swim or ride the bikes or use the weights any time I want to. And Amity is always sneaking in the back of Marbella’s classes,” said Patience.
    Shaking his head at them he hurried down to the third level to the camping store. If sex on a blanket on the roof had been good, real full-on sex in a tent on the roof should be even better. At least the flimsy structure would offer them privacy to remain naked. Oh how he wanted to be naked to worship Dakota’s body. He’d been worried sick about her visiting Jackson Hamilton. Even though everything had gone perfectly smoothly he still hated that she’d walked alone into the lion’s den. Besides, it wouldn’t surprise him if she planned to head back and do it all again. He’d be trying to dissuade her if he could though. Surely she’d learned everything she could so far. The business obviously had a very good front for customers, and quite likely those old people were regular clients and looked after appropriately. But what was the deal with the werewolves? Why had he captured Lewis and the other people Lewis had heard in the area where he’d been locked up?
    Half an hour later he had everything he thought the three of them could need and he texted Lewis.
    Can you please take me up to the roof?
    I’m there already. What floor are you on?
    Eight.
    I’ll be there in a few minutes.
    Andreas slung the tent pack over one shoulder and picked up a duffle with other things in it and the blankets, slammed his apartment door behind him, and walked to the elevator. Fortunately it really only was a minute or two before Lewis arrived and held the elevator door open for him to load his gear onboard.
    “What’s all this stuff?”
    “My brilliant idea. I’ll tell you when we’re up there.”
    “Okay.”
    Andreas liked that Lewis was so quick to pick up nuances. No, there wasn’t anyone else in the elevator, and likely there wouldn’t be either. But Lewis understood he didn’t want them to be talking privately and risk someone overhearing them. He was able to lock down his curiosity and wait patiently. Andreas really appreciated that in the other wolf. The more he knew about Lewis the more he realized he wasn’t a fearful person at all, merely someone who’d been treated appallingly and thrown into a situation he’d never known of and had no means of dealing with. Yet he’d triumphed over it and was very deserving of his new happy life.
    Lewis held the elevator door open for him at the roof, and said, “Where do you want to go? I’ll carry some of the luggage for you.”
    “I don’t really know. Away from the entry. Somewhere we can be private I guess. This is a tent.”
    “Oh! I like the way you think. Just leave it all here for the moment then and walk with me.”
    Intrigued, Andreas dropped the tent to the concrete of the roof, laid the blankets on top of it so they wouldn’t get dirty, and walked after Lewis. Lewis led him right to the end of the roof, to what was the very back of the professional suites, and stepped behind a head-height wall.
    Sure enough there were no buildings near them. There was the roof of the mall itself seven floors below them, then some ground level parking around the edges of the mall, then just streets and other buildings. If he looked straight ahead there was nothing nearby, just structures in the far distance in another part of town.
    “This is where I want to build my home. This wall will be hidden by trees and I hope no one will even know my house
