Crossing the street, Aiden froze. A curvy woman with bright red hair was standing by the side of a black Range Rover, loading shopping bags onto the back seat.

“Charlie,” he mumbled.

He had no idea how he knew but he had to make sure that he was right.

Find the smell. You have to find the smell…

Aiden rolled his eyes as he pushed the wailing voice out of his mind. The smell could wait. He had work to do. As he walked towards the woman, he purposely bumped into an elderly man who was walking past.

“Terribly sorry. I wasn’t paying attention,” Aiden said, grabbing the man's hand.

“Oh, no harm done, young man. I was always rushing around at your age, too.”

Aiden smiled as he dodged around the stranger and scanned the car park. It was practically empty but he couldn’t kill her there.

The smell. It’s here. Please. I need it…

His breath caught in his throat as he got closer to the red-haired woman. Her scent filled his body with a feeling he had never felt before.

Go to her. I need her. We need her…

Shaking his head, he tried to clear his thoughts and looked for somewhere he could shift. He needed to confirm it was Charlie so he could follow her but he couldn’t shift in an open car park.

I have to go to her. I need her.

“Would you like some help with that?”

“Oh, I'm okay, but thank you for offering,” she said.

Aiden's entire body came alive all at once as the woman turned to look at him. He wanted to trace every line of the tattoos that covered her shoulder and spread over her chest. His fingers twitched to tangle themselves in her long red hair and his heart begged to be lost in her caramel eyes.

“You’re welcome. Have a lovely afternoon,” he said.

The voice in his head cried with pain as he turned and walked away from Charlie Garcia, the most beautiful woman that he had ever seen and the woman he was supposed to kill.
