“What do you think?” Ryan asks. The smirk on his face tells me he knows how sexy he looks in his perfectly tailored suit.

I chuckle. “That’ll do.” But my smile is strained, and I can’t keep my gurgling stomach quiet, especially from werewolf ears. “Lunch didn’t agree with me.”

“You didn’t eat much lunch. Or any breakfast.”

“Yeah. I don’t eat breakfast. And lunch…” I walk over to him, replaying in my mind that scene from our picnic in the rain. His silk tie is smooth in my fingers when I adjust it. “I was a bit distracted.”

But even the memory of our amazing physical chemistry can’t keep my hands from shaking.

Ryan wraps his fingers around mine. “It’s going to be okay. You really are going to enjoy my bite.”

“That’s no longer the part I’m worried about.”

“I’m so sorry y

    “So many lilies,” I say to Val. The scent from the gathered pink and white Stargazer lilies is strong in the conference room of Kevin Black’s office building, and I wonder how the werewolves in attendance are dealing with it. “Did you rob a cemetery?”“I had nothing to do with it.” Val holds up her left palm to shield her right index finger as she points to the scowling giant leaning on the wall with his arms crossed, looking like someone’s bodyguard. She mouths the words, “But I think he did.”I glance around the sunlit room. Round indents in the carpet mark where a table must have sat at one point, and a podium adorned with some of the flowers stands at one end of the room.“It looks fantastic in here, Val. Thank you.”“It’s not my best work. But the light is perfect. If we hurry, the sun will be setting right about the time you say ‘I do.’”I lo

    The teakettle hisses on the stove, but I can’t seem to climb out of my place on the couch to do anything about it.Ryan gets up, and not only does he remove the boiling water from the burner, but he splashes it into a mug he’s prepared to make tea for me. The pillow in my hands is soft as I squeeze it tightly to my chest.My phone dings with a text, and I glance at the coffee table to see a notification from Val. She’s dying of curiosity about how things are going with Ryan, but because I can’t tell her about him being a werewolf, I’m afraid to answer.The couch sinks as Ryan sits next to me and places my tea on the coffee table. “Talk to me, Charlie.” When I don’t respond, he places a hand on my arm so lightly that I can hardly feel it. “Scream, break something, hit me. Please. Whatever you need to do to get the frustration out, please do it.”I turn to him. “Would it make a difference?”“It might make you feel better. This quiet version of you is scaring me.”I snort. “You want to k

    “You’re not listening,” Ryan tells me, gripping my wrists to keep me from peeling off his towel.We both took hot showers, separately, when we returned from the park, and I’m in a thin silk robe that I know hugs my curves and leaves little to the imagination.“I’m struggling to keep control, Charlie,” he says. “We dodged a bullet earlier, and now I need you to be strong for us.”“It’s not like my apartment is bugged or anything.”Ryan mumbles something under his breath that sounds a lot like, “But my mind is.”The idea that his alpha could be tapping into his thoughts for no reason seems ridiculous.I undo my robe’s tie, letting the smooth fabric slip through my hand, and shrug out of the garment. It slithers down to my feet, and Ryan’s chest expands with a sharp inhale.I smile. “Then perhaps I’ll just give you a little visual foreplay.”Ryan groans. “You’re going to be the death of me.” He drops his towel too.I sashay to the bed with him close at my heels. The mattress sinks beneat

    We’re nearly done eating when a cold ocean breeze slices through the warm air, and we both glance out over the water to see dark clouds approaching.I turn to Ryan. “A storm is coming in fast.”Ryan polishes off the last bit of a sandwich and licks mustard off his fingers. “Rain?” He scans me with his gaze. “You in a wet dress…”I go there too. “You in a shirt stuck to your body.”His eyes twinkle with mischief. “We’re not going anywhere.”I chuckle. “I suppose not.” As soon as I get the words out, fat drops of water start to fall, splattering on the leaves of the tree above us.The storm turns out to be powerful, so we decide to pack up the picnic items. When strong gusts of wind begin to blast at us, I know it’s time for us to abandon our plan.“Come on!” I have to yell to be heard over the steady beat of heavy rain falling. When I jump to my feet to jog out from under the tree, my body gets completely soaked. Ryan joins me, and I grab his hand to tug him to the uneven rocky path wh

    Ryan groans from the couch, and I glance over to see he’s got a green tint to his skin.“You’ve got a whopper of a hangover,” I tell him as I portion out coffee grounds. Ryan slept on my couch last night, where I managed to get him to lie down after he performed a stumbling version of a dance he’d seen in a movie about male strippers. “It’s obvious werewolves don’t drink for a reason.”“Your voice hurts my head.” He tugs the blanket over his head and moans. “This is your fault.”The fridge light spills out as I tug the door open. “I tried to warn you, but you said I was being a control freak.” I pour Ryan a glass of water from a chilled pitcher and open a cabinet in search of headache medicine. “And when I tried to keep you from drinking too many, you wouldn’t listen.”He whimpers. “I have a vague recollection of that. You can send me home now if you’d like.”“The thought has crossed my mind. But I bet that’s against the rules this early in the process. For now, we’re stuck with each
