face.
    Zac smiled back, deciding he wanted to see his mate smile like that as often as possible. If all it took was a vegetable garden to make Matt so happy, he’d fall in love with him faster than he thought possible.
    And that scared the shit out of him.

    * * * *

    Zac woke up before Matt the next morning. He knew he had to get up and get to the job, but he couldn’t help but watch his mate sleep.
    Matt looked so peaceful, with a small smile on his lips, almost a smirk.
    Even in his dreams, he seemed to know how strongly Zac already felt about him. It baffled Zac how much he already cared for his mate.
    Matt’s heart was so big, it was impossible not to adore him.
    Thinking back to last night, Zac chuckled at his mate’s loving.
    Matt insisted, since Zac had spent so many hours driving while Matt got time to nap, that he was going to take care of Zac for the evening.
    They showered together, and then Matt gave him a wonderful massage that ended with a fucking fantastic blow job. When Zac had tried to reciprocate, his mate patted him on the shoulder and told him to get some sleep.
    Zac knew Matt had been hard and wound up, but he put his needs aside and took care of Zac. He didn’t know what he did to deserve such a wonderful mate, but Zac knew he would do everything in his power to keep deserving him.
    “Matt,” Zac said, shaking his shoulder. “Sweetie, I have to get going.”
    “Go? Go where?” Matt asked, looking panicked as he sat up.
    “I have to go meet with Alpha Issacar and take care of the Beta.
    I’ll be back for you. You’re my mate now. I’ll always come back to you.”
    “Oh, okay. Sorry, I wasn’t thinking. You just startled me.”
    “I figured, babe. But I wanted to say good-bye and talk to you instead of just sneaking out.”
    “Good. Always do that, please,” Matt said as he leaned up to get a good-morning kiss. “Be safe and come back to me, Zac. I don’t want to lose you now that we’ve found each other.”
    “I feel the same way,” Zac whispered against his hair before kissing his head again. Matt smiled and snuggled back down into the bed. See? This being mated thing wasn’t so hard. Zac could do this.
    Zac smiled like a loon as he got dressed and grabbed his gear. He quietly left the motel room, not wanting to disturb Matt again. Before he left, he made sure to program his number into Matt’s cell phone, just in case.
    He was at Alpha Issacar’s house in under a half hour. Putting on his game face, he knocked on the door and waited.
    “Yes?” an older man asked as he opened the door.
    “Alpha Issacar?” Zac asked, not liking the look of the Alpha.
    Something in the man’s eyes set off alarm bells inside his head.
    “I’m Alpha Issacar,” the man replied. “Who are you?”
    “The Delta the council sent, sir.”
    “What’s your name, young man?”
    “Not important. Normally, no one knows even what I look like when I do a job for the council. For some reason this time, I was asked to check in at the Alpha’s house first.”
    “What do you have to hide? Why won’t you tell me your name?”
    Issacar growled.
    Zac wasn’t ready for that response. Most Alphas understood why Deltas didn’t want to reveal their identity during a job.
    “Sir, with all due respect, I never give anyone my information.
    Deltas are hunted enough as is. Normal hit men don’t meet their clients in person, much less know their real names,” Zac replied, choosing his words carefully.
    “If you’re not going to tell me who you are, then get the fuck out of my town!”
    “That’s not your call, Alpha Issacar. I was sent here on a directive from the council. Now, either you deal with not knowing my name and inform me of the circumstances, or I report back to the council that I couldn’t do my job because of your reluctance.”
    The anger and pure hatred coming off the Alpha made Zac very glad he didn’t share any information. Zac was starting to wonder if Issacar had a screw loose. Just
