There are times when being a legendary shifter is a plain pain in the butt, and this is one of those times...
Farness Duncan, more commonly known as Ness or Nessie, had lived his life quite happily for more than three thousand years. An extremely rare kind of shifter, he lives simply, helping others through his funding foundation and traveling the world whenever he needed too. But at his heart, he called Arrowtown home. But in recent months Ness had been getting increasingly restless and even Doc couldn't help, although it was him who suggested Ness's beastie was getting ready to mate. The problem was, to who?
This has to be the most ridiculous version of winging it I’ve ever done.
Cyrus Marinus, gangster and great white shark shifter knew who Ness was to him the moment he saw him striding through the airport in Las Vegas. Fueled by his shark, he hunts the man down in Scotland, seeing the most amazing transformation he'd ever seen. But while the claiming part was easy, once Ness got over his shock, settling down and building a life together wasn't without it's problems, especially when Ness learns early on the type of life Cyrus was used to living.
Everyone can change if they have the right incentive.
While Cyrus and Ness are happy with each other, other family members are not as pleased with their mating. There was also the little issue that Ness's beastie was aching for something more, but if Ness and Cryus gave into their instincts, then one of them was going to end up pregnant. For two accomplished businessmen with world wide interests, was that really the best idea?
Silly question, lol.
Cyrus and Ness's story involves some unusual stains on the carpet, more than a few references to killing someone, family drama, mpreg, and an HEA because with a Lisa Oliver story, that's guaranteed.

Keep walking. Cyrus almost tripped over in shock. His animal half rarely spoke to him with words. They had a long history with each other, and the most effective communications were done without words ever needed. Giving his animal side just a little more leeway, Cyrus let his steps be guided by his animal’s instincts. It was almost as though his animal spirit was hunting, but Cyrus didn’t see any dangers around them even though the place was busy.
He ended up standing by a large window, looking out over the area where many private planes were parked, including his own. Is someone messing with our plane? But no, his other half wasn’t reacting to that. Taking his time, Cyrus scanned the view again. There were very few people in what was a secure area.
READ MOREHis eyes focused more intently when he noticed a visiting plane he remembered seeing before. An Arrowtown plane in Vegas? I’m sure that thing was taking off when we landed there on our last visit. From the looks of the activity around the plane, it was clearly due to take off again. The refueling truck was there, and two other people with clipboards were checking every inch of the outside.
There. Look there. His huge beast was so agitated, Cyrus could almost feel his tail swinging from side to side. Looking where his animal side directed, Cyrus’s eyes widened. A huge man, clearly a shifter, was striding across the asphalt making a beeline for the plane.
Ours. He’s ours. Get him.
Cyrus looked around. It would take him too long to get to the plane before it took off. The shifter was already climbing the stairs into his plane. Reaching into his jean pocket, he hit a speed dial number. “Have the plane ready to take off in the next ten minutes. I’ll inform you of the destination when I get there,” he said before hanging up. He had good staff, and his plane was always ready to leave at a moment’s notice.
Sauntering back to the closest booking station, Cyrus smiled at Lucy, the woman tending the desk. “You look like you could do with a coffee, pretty lady,” he said sliding the hundred dollar note he’d palmed over the desk. “Any idea where that private plane, number six four two on the tail, is going?”
“You’ll get me into trouble, Mr. Marinus,” Lucy said clicking a few keys on her keyboard. “Flight six four two is on its way to Inverness in Scotland. The flight has four crew, and the only listed passenger is Mr. Farness Bonham Duncan, the plane’s owner.”
“You deserve a steak meal, my lovely lady.” Cyrus added another hundred to the first. “Alas, I have to make a trip to Scotland, did you say, and can’t take you personally. I’m sure you and your husband will enjoy a meal on me.”
“Have your pilot file the flight plan, Mr. Marinus. You’ll be sixth in the queue to take off.”
“You’re the best.” Blowing Lucy a kiss, Cyrus hurried to the exit, pulling his phone out of his pocket again as he power walked. “File a flight plan for Inverness, Scotland.”
“Yes, Boss.”
By the time he was on the plane, doing up his seat belt, Cyrus had already located accommodation, apparently it was the quiet season wherever this Inverness was, and a hire car in case he needed it. Sitting back as his plane took off, Cyrus chuckled quietly. This has to be the most ridiculous version of winging it I’ve ever done. But he couldn’t deny his, or his animal’s excitement as the plane took to the air.
