As they drove together to Bear Claw Security, Limes kept looking over at the woman who was coming to mean everything to him.

He’d do anything to take away the desperate look on her face. The intense fear that seemed to go bone deep.

Anything.

And that scared him.

When they’d been together last night, in a way he’d never expected—and it had been so wonderful, so precious, so powerful—he’d felt his very foundation quake.

Like something was breaking inside him.

He’d been alone for so long. Sure, he’d had friends. But no one to watch out for. Not like this.

Not someone who threatened to get completely into his heart.

As a result, it destroyed him when he saw her look afraid.

She kept asking him what he saw for the future. Was he just a coward for not saying what he felt?

Every time she asked him, the words ran through his mind.

You’re my mate. You’re mine forever. I’m never letting you go.

But he held himself back. It was all happening so fast. Even if he felt it and didn’t think it would ever change, he wasn’t ready to tell her and hear her answer. Would she scoff at him getting attached so fast? How did mating work for wolves? Was it even possible between a bear and a wolf? Well, it was possible to have sex and even get married, obviously, but would he be able to stake a mate claim on her?

Would she want him to?

Or was he just sexual entertainment, a good distraction until they caught whoever was after her?

Although, even if it wasn’t the pack that had hurt her before, he was going to find them after this and have a “talk” with them.

No one would ever hurt her again.

But if she doesn’t let you stay with her, is that really your call? a little voice inside him said. But he brushed it away.

He’d just have to win her over. No one in his life had really wanted him around. Bronson and Cage tolerated him better than most. Maybe even cared for him. But that still didn’t mean they could spend lots of time together.

If he continued to spend time with Jamie, would she come to hate him? He was abrasive; he knew this. But he liked to think she was teaching him how to be softer. Kinder.

His face heated at the memory of how “kind” they’d been to each other the night before.

It had been such a perfect metaphor for what was happening between them. Completely complicated, totally upside down, and more pleasurable than anything on Earth should be allowed to be.

“Where are we going?” she asked.

“Bear Claw,” he said. “But a part of the building you haven’t been to before?”

“What do you mean?” she asked, suspicious.

“You’ll see.”

He pulled into the side parking lot. Then he got out and walked around to get her door. As he helped her out, he felt small sparks just at the touch of her hand.

There was something magic about this woman.

He took her around to a side door, and when he opened it up, she looked inside and gasped.
