My man is so fine. But he sure was confusing.

Christina stood in the doorway of her mate’s house, holding her shirt over her chest, and looked the big werewolf from head to toe as he conferred with his alpha. Their alpha.

“That one’s mine,” she whispered to herself. She could hardly it was true. He was tall and broad, like all the wolves in their little enclave seemed to be, with dark hair that skimmed his jaw and didn’t quite completely hide the black patch over his left eye. He looked a bit like a rakish pirate, but was outfitted in blue jeans and motorcycle boots.

She giggled.

He was so confused. She could sense his hesitation. Female wolves didn’t have many courtship advantages when compared to the males, but they had good noses. Good guts. His hormones had spiked the moment she walked into his house. He wanted her. Wanted to take care of her. She could tell. But, something was holding him back. Whatever it was, they’d get past it—as long as he didn’t make her leave.

She pushed her arms back into her shirt’s sleeves and pulled the plackets together as she sat on his sofa.

Moments later, he returned, expression drawn and skin pale. He leaned his back against the door and tipped his head down. His hair fell into a curtain over his eyes and he drummed his fingers against the doorframe.

Certainly a man like him has had some experience with women, so what’s the issue here?

“Adam says he’s not sending you away.”

“I’m glad. I don’t want to be sent away.”

There went another one of those wild hormone spikes. This one tasted of anxiety and fear. She furrowed her brow.

“You don’t have to say shit like that. I know you girls are trained to tell us what we want to hear, but you don’t have to waste your breath on me.”

“Oh.” She pushed her top button through its hole and stared at her lap. “I’m actually not that clever. I’ve never been any good at comebacks or flirting. I tend to—to speak plainly, I guess.”

He was quiet for so long that she risked a glance up at him.

He’d turned his head slightly and eyed her through that veil of wild hair. She sighed. The wolf needed grooming. She’d put that on her task list for right after she got her bite and papers: bathe him well, then—she scanned the room around her and what she could see of the kitchen—organize his life. If there were a filing system for weapons, she’d figure it out and implement it.

“You the quartermaster?” she asked.

“Yeah. Most of the guns belong to the other guys. I can’t see worth a shit to shoot anymore. I used to be a two-eye shooter, and my blind eye was my dominant one. Need more range time to adjust for it.”

The injury must have been recent.

She pulled her feet up beneath her on the sofa and licked her dry lips. Keep him talking. She patted around in her head for conversational tidbits.
