and skip the commitment? Having you running around as a
human woman s pup isn t conducive to good business. Why do you
think I ve never mated?
I lean toward believing no one will have you. Nick looked over
at Allen. Enough about my personal life. Why have you come?
The new Wolfe Industrial Complex opening is Friday night.
Jemco Developers are anxious to know if you ll be there for the
ribbon-cutting ceremony.
No.
It s good business practice, Nick. Allen argued.
They got my money. They don t need me. He stared at the
house, anxious to get back to Randi.
You have to go, Allen said.
Why? Nick turned around. To show off the monkey they
think they have in their pocket.
Ever the wolf, thinking everyone wants to take your place as
leader of whatever pack you pretend to run. Remember, Nick, I m
the one who makes sure your businesses stay on track. You gave
up on them. Allen paced back and forth. Does this bitch know
about you? Has she agreed to stay? What s her angle? How did you
meet?
You know, while it s a proper term for Lycan women, I
wouldn t go around calling a human woman a bitch. They get testy
over the word. Nick thrust his fingers into his hair, massaging his
throbbing temple. As for Randi, she doesn t know I m a Lycan.
How d you manage that?
The dark does wonders for concealment. I ll be telling her soon
enough.
I wonder how she ll react. I can see it now, you go all wolf on
her and she freaks. Humans aren t into fucking their pets.
His fears exactly, and he didn t need to be reminded. You know

a Lycan can t turn into a full wolf during intercourse. It ll never be
the complete animal that makes love to her.
Just the half one. That ll go over big, a hairy man with long
fangs and sharp claws.
Maddie
You got lucky once. Maddie accepted your half transformation.
There aren t many human women into sex with whoever comes
their way. You shouldn t delude yourself with the idea another
woman will submit willingly to a man who's not quite as dashing
in the looks department when he s in his Lycan form.
I ll deal with that when I have to, Nick answered, ruffled by
the suggestion Maddie had sex with anyone.
She ll turn against you, Nick. Worse than a Lycan without a
mate is a Lycan that has to live without the bitch who owns his
soul.
Allen s laugh as he walked away left Nick feeling the sting of
what prejudice had done to his race already. Centuries of living
among humans had not brought them closer to revealing their
identity as a different species. Too many bad experiences kept
Lycans in seclusion. It pushed them into hiding on Wolfe
Mountain. Even he had grown tired of hearing about the chaos
when a Lycan revealed his true shape to a human. The disbelief,
humiliation and despair were a great influence on their kind to
keep quiet and stay cut off from the rest of society. When he d met
Maddie, she d given him hope of a better future. Then Benji had
killed her.
As Nick neared the house, he paused, glancing back at the
forest. Before Allen, another wolf had stood in the shadows. Was
Randi in the same danger as Maddie? A Lycan out of control, hell
bent on claiming a female would kill her before accepting
rejection.

Chapter Fourteen
Randi threw back the quilt and stretched. A quick survey of the
room told her J.R. wasn t there.
Chores. She hummed, finding him a dear to be so
conscientious about keeping Mr. Wolfe s property clean.
Her body ached from head to toe. She wasn t used to marathon
sex. She never went looking for it, and she never welcomed it from
any man. Now she understood why. She had never met anyone
who took charge.
Randi swung her legs to the side of the mattress. She stretched
her toes against the cool wood floor. Reluctantly, she rose, and
walked down the hall to the room with the woman s clothes, and
shuffled through the garments in the closet. She tried to find
another, not so great looking outfit, but Mrs. Wolfe had expensive
clothes. Randi ended up selecting a simple light blue sundress.
After taking a quick shower to clean away the evidence of sex, she
put on the dress. She fastened the two buttons in the back, and
looked in the mirror. The thin strap slipped off her shoulder and
she pulled it back up.
I don t know who you were, but apparently we re not the same
size. She turned back to the closet to hunt for comfortable
footwear, hoping for a fit. On a shelf were boxes, each with a pair
of shoes. The sixth or seventh box had a slightly worn pair of
tennis shoes, perfect in size. She returned everything else to its
place and left the room to find J.R.
Need help? she asked when she found him sweeping the
porch.
He held the broom out to her. Have at it.

She took it and began at the opposite end. I ll show you how
domestic I can be. Just because my career is in real estate doesn t
mean I don t know how to do other things. Besides, I m
adaptable.
J.R. s silence stopped her chatter. She smiled and looked back,
believing his thoughts were on sexual activities. Hers had been.
I m going to hunt for that deer, he stated in a distracted way.
Stay around the house. You ll be safe here.
All right. She watched him retrieve his gun from inside the
doorway. Will you be gone long?
His shrug as he walked off wasn t an answer. His silence
disturbed her. Something had changed in his behavior toward her.
It wasn t good. She propped the broom against the wall and
hurried down the steps to go after him. When she reached the
perimeter of the dense forest, he was gone. Like an apparition, he
vanished. Which direction had he headed?
She went back to the house and finished cleaning the porch. Not [ Pobierz całość w formacie PDF ]
