JemmaWe walk upstairs, and I refuse to go into his room while he puts something on. When he comes out, he is dressed in a casual pair of trunks and a t-shirt and still walking barefoot. I give him a once over, but my mind just burned that naked image of him into my memory and now that is all I can see.“Let’s get a drink.” He holds out his hand. I look at his hand and, without a word, turn on my heel and waltz right back downstairs. I don’t even wait for him. I can hear him behind me. Hell, I can literally feel him behind me as we walk into the library, and he walks straight to the drinks tray.This time when he offers me one, I take it.

Not that I wouldn’t give the pack to Leila.I breathe in Jemma’s scent and calm my crazy thoughts. Jemma has changed my life for the better in so many ways that I honestly sometimes forget how much. Most importantly, she reminds me of just how strong women can be.She gives me hope that Leila will be able to rule our pack with a mate by her side.
