Chapter 14

Most of the men stayed out of the kitchen while I sat with Lynn and Lexi, drinking a cup of hot tea. I told them everything about my stay with Lorenzo. Well, almost everything. True to my word, I kept our relationship a secret, although, could I even call it that?

I lifted the white cup to my lips, blowing on the hot steam and gazing out the row of windows behind the wooden table. The sun reflected brightly off the glass, and a shower of rainbows glittered on the walls from a prism little Maizy had hung on the window.

I wouldn’t regret a single moment I’d spent with Lorenzo as his lover. He’d shown me that sex could be a beautiful experience. Maybe it didn’t have to incorporate love, but it felt good to know that maybe I had something to look forward to in my life.

I glanced at the wolf’s head on top of my cane, which I’d propped against the table. The polished silver gave off a luster that made me want to smooth my thumb over it.

“Can I see?” Maizy asked. “Is it magical?”

Her hair was the color of golden wheat and fell softly past her shoulders. She touched the tips of the wolf’s fangs, and I placed the cane in her hand.

“What’s it for?” She held it like a sword and pointed it at Denver, who appeared in the doorway.

“It’s to help me walk, honey. I hurt my leg, and that wolf will give me the strength that I need to keep up with the pack.”

Maizy tapped the end on the floor and tried hopping with it, but the cane was too tall for her to use properly.

“Come on, Peanut. Give that back to Miss Ivy and let’s go play a game.” Denver had his arms folded, avoiding eye contact with me.

“I’m tired of games. I want to play outside.”

Lynn leaned around, coaxing Maizy over with her outstretched arm. “Come here, sweetie. You need to do as you’re told and stay inside. It’s too chilly to play out there anyway; you’ll catch a cold. I think what we girls need to do is work on a project together. Would you like to help?”

“Like what?”

“There’s a big dresser upstairs that I want to sand down and paint. I don’t think I can do it by myself and you are so good with painting.”

“What color?”

“White,” Lynn said. “I’m thinking about putting flowers on it. What do you think?”

“That better not be my dresser you’re talking about,” Denver grumbled.

I smirked when I noticed the red stain on Denver’s upper lip from one of those sugary drinks that Maizy liked so much. Lynn tried to keep Maizy away from sugar because it made her hyperactive. Denver didn’t seem to care.

“Do you have to work tonight?” I asked Denver.

“Not under these circumstances. Because of your friend, I can’t even sit around my own house and get tanked.”

“Don’t do that, Denver,” Lexi said in a sharp voice. “They were in a pack together, but this isn’t Ivy’s fault.
