Chapter Seven

She slammed the door behind them.

He thought she’d yell at him for covering her, and if she did he would stand there and take it. She would see it as an insult that he didn’t have faith in her ability to protect him, but he didn’t see it that way. There’d been no conscious thought behind it at all. He became aware of the threat and instinct had taken over. He would do it again too. Damned if he was going to let her take a bullet for him.

He turned to face her, bracing himself for a fight. Instead, she crashed into him, rocking him back against the wall. Her hands clutched in his hair, drawing his head down to claim his mouth. Lips. Tongue. Heat. Her lithe body grinding against his suddenly rock hard erection. He froze, stunned, arms to the side, hands open, before he groaned and reached for her.

She pulled back and he forced himself not to wrap his arms around her. If she was thinking of changing her mind, an act of aggression on his part would only scare her off. She needed to come to him.

Please God, let her come to him.

Her delicate brows were drawn tightly together. Her lovely eyes dark and shadowed. It wasn’t the look he’d hoped for when she succumbed to temptation and he wondered what she was thinking. It was a rocky path they were taking but not impossible.

Slowly, so as not to startle, he lifted his hand to cup her face, skimming his thumb along the curve of her cheekbone. “It’s all right. I understand if you’ve changed your mind. Sometimes adrenaline can—”

“This is not battle lust, you fool man.”

He smiled. Careful. He had to be careful here. “All right.”

“I have three conditions,” she told him, and he went still.

Was she serious? Her expression said that yes, yes indeed, she was. He nodded for her to continue. “Go ahead.”

“First...this stays private.”

Privacy was a tricky concept among shifters. It was inevitable that people would smell him on her, her on him. But she would know that as well as he did, and he could keep his mouth shut. “I don’t fuck and tell.”

“Good. Second...this doesn’t interfere with work. I let you do your job.” She gave him a stern look. “And you let me do mine.”

He nodded again. That was acceptably vague. “What’s the third condition?”

“I’m in control.”

His eyes narrowed on her. That cocky look was gone. Her features were smooth and controlled, but he could see just a hint of vulnerability in her eyes. That decided him. If that was what she needed to feel safe, he could agree to it too.

“For now,” he said.

And she smiled—really smiled at him. A wild, fierce conquering grin that rattled down his spine and made his cock throb in response.

Without warning, she swept his legs out from under him and he went down hard. She dropped on him and his arms instinctively came up to catch her.

“That was my bad leg, you know.
