CHAPTER TEN
~
“Open the damn door!” Lucy yelled, hammering with both fists this time on the front door to Declan’s cabin. “You bit me, the least you can do is face me!” She yelled out and heard a growled curse from the other side of that thick wood.
Then the door was wrenched open and his black eyes met hers, before he quickly averted his gaze…
“Still can’t look me in the eye, ey?” She bit out in annoyance.
“You shouldn’t be here,” Declan grumbled as he blocked the entrance way with his body, filling it up, and replacing the door with his large frame.
“Too right I shouldn’t,” she grumbled. “Having to drag my backside up here to deal with your pig headed, stupid, moronic…”
“Is there a point to this?” Declan growled.
“No, I thought I’d just drive all the way up here to call you names,” Lucy shrugged.
“Job done then,” he grumbled back.
“Are you just going to leave your mate standing on the doorstep in the freezing cold?” She laid it on thick. According to the internet, bears, mates, were protective…
Declan grumbled a growl, reached out his hand, fisted her jacket and yanked her inside as he stepped back to let her in. Then he tossed the door closed behind her, and all without looking at her.
“You’re in,” he growled.
“Gee, thanks for the invite.” Lucy hissed back. The acidity in her tone didn’t go unnoticed to his ears.
“That’s the point, Lucy. I didn’t invite you here,” Declan grumbled another low growl and the sound played over her body like velvet against her skin. “It’s dangerous to be around me right now.”
“Because of them or because of your bear?” She asked.
“Both,” he scowled.
“Can you look at me when…?”
“No.” He turned on his heels and stalked away from her.
He went to stand in front of the open fire and reached out to the high mantle, resting his hands there for fear that he might just reach out for her if she got too close to him again.
He’d wanted to do it the moment that he saw her. He wanted to reach out and bring her into his arms, love her, take her to bed and never be apart from her again…
But he’d already screwed up once … it wouldn’t happen a second time.
“Coward,” Lucy snapped back, and she saw his back snap rigid, saw the way that his hands fisted, and heard the low, deep rumble of an angry growl go through him…
Declan didn’t say a word. He knew that she was baiting him and he didn’t want to rise to that bait. No now… not when he wanted her so damn badly that he could taste it.
“I can’t change what you think of me,” he offered back, and his bear roared at his words … the beast would fight all comers to prove to her that it wasn’t afraid of anything…
“Sure you can, you’re just choosing not to,” she snapped back.
“You should leave,” Declan growled.
“So should you, but you’re still here,” Lucy stalked towards him
