Chapter Seven

Israel’s attention focused on the woman standing beside the desk, barely holding back his snarl of disgust. He’d pegged her as the problem before he’d walked through the door. She’d taken one look at Cam, and her scent changed from guarded to desire between one breath and the next. This woman was a predator when it came to men, and he doubted she cared whether they were taken or not. When she failed to get a reaction from Cam, she’d turned to him, a brow raised in question.

“A wolf shifter? How interesting. Perhaps I should have read Ms. Adler’s file more carefully.”

Israel wasn’t taking the bait. He’d dealt with too many women like her—gorgeous on the outside, butt-fuck ugly on the inside. Franklin’s snort of laughter let Israel know he’d tuned in to his thoughts. Israel was relieved telepathic communication didn’t appear to be in her magical repertoire.

“Out.” His one-word response made her face flush as fury raged through her—he didn’t care. Israel didn’t know why she was here, but he knew his sister, and if this witch had gotten under the Adler Oil’s Ice Princess’s skin, she’d worked for it. Asia didn’t have a sixth sense about everyone she met, but even those she couldn’t read didn’t have a prayer of fooling her. Israel and Austin often teased their eldest sister, wondering whether her ability to accurately judge people made her a legal eagle, or if she was one of the top-ranked corporate attorneys in the country because she had an innate ability to see through the façade most people presented.

“Excuse me? I don’t answer to you, nor do I believe Franklin is in agreement.” Turning to the other man, her expression going soft, her voice dropped until she practically purred, “You don’t want me to leave, do you, darling?”

Fucking hell, she was probably at least a hundred years old and couldn’t act any more convincingly than that?

“Eden, you don’t want to go down this path. You’ve made more than one formidable enemy today, I strongly suggest you rethink this strategy. Your assignment here is very specific—handle the special circumstances related to the legal work. Period. Asia and I will handle everything else. Ms. Adler’s first priority will be advocating for her new sister-in-law, and when all is said and done, it will be Asia’s call whether or not the sale goes through. Since I know you have a personal stake in this, I suggest you keep that in mind when you’re pretending there is a romantic relationship between us when you know full well there is not.”

Israel could see the woman’s pulse pounding at the base of her throat, but it was rage rather than lust coming off her in powerful waves. Eden wasn’t a woman accustomed to being set aside, and she wasn’t handling it well. Damn, I’d love to see how you’d fare, leveling that glare at Cam in Dark Desires. Master Cam wouldn’t think twice about handing her over to one of the Dungeon Masters to discipline.
