Chapter 11

Everett couldn’t have been more thrilled that Demetria wanted to sleep with him. And more. Between playing so late on his video game, having to take care of Tammy and Demetria, and then his mom calling so early about the wolf pup this morning, he hadn’t gotten much sleep. So really, bedtime needed to be early. Not just because he was dying to go to bed with Demetria. How would it look if he went to bed with her later, at what she thought was a decent hour, and in the middle of lovemaking, he fell asleep? Or he could barely stay awake?

Connor and Wade were sitting in the living room having beers and watching the shifter cubs and pup playing as the lights sparkled on the Christmas tree.

Everett led Demetria to the couch and they sat together, legs touching, his arm around her shoulders.

“Want a beer or a glass of wine?” Connor started to rise from his seat.

Everett shook his head. “I’m afraid it would knock me right out. I was up quite late last night playing a video game.”

“I’m the same way when I’m on vacation. Once I start playing, Maya has a hard time getting me to take a break even to eat,” Wade said.

“Yeah, same here. I wasn’t expecting to have to do anything but sleep late this morning. But we were up really early when Mom called about the wolf-shifter pup, so we didn’t get a whole lot of sleep.”

“Want a cup of coffee?” Connor offered instead.

Everett shook his head. “Nah. That might keep me awake the rest of the night. We really need to retire to bed early with all the work we have cut out for us tomorrow.”

Connor and Wade looked at Demetria. Her face flushed beautifully.

“If it wouldn’t be too much of an imposition, and someone wouldn’t mind taking care of—” Everett rubbed Demetria’s arm in a soothing, possessive way.

“Everett’s right. We did have a long night. Maybe Maya could tell us which two rooms we can use,” Demetria cut in.

Everett gaped at Demetria. He didn’t believe she had changed her mind altogether, but apparently she didn’t want everyone to know what they were doing. If she wanted him to sneak into her room, he would. He just hoped she wouldn’t turn all jaguar and bite him. Unless she really had changed her mind. He sighed.

Maya bolted out of the living room, her tail whipping about. He hoped that meant his half sister was coming to his rescue, not Demetria’s. Kat continued to watch the cubs, the pup, Everett, and Demetria.

“Would you like anything to drink?” Connor asked Demetria.

“A glass of water would be good. Thank you.”

Connor left to get her a glass, and Maya stalked back into the living room dressed in jeans and a sweater and barefoot. “So, Kat, do we toss for who gets to take care of the pup tonight?”

Everett smiled. He loved his half sister. From the minute he and Huntley had learned Maya and Connor
