Jess just stared at him for a long moment, trying to force a vision of anything that didn’t involve sex or him crying over her half-dead body. Nothing would come, not a damned thing other than the start of a headache.

If she was being honest, the mate thing scared the hell out of her. She didn’t do relationships because they never worked in the past. Maybe she couldn’t see things working because she didn’t know how they worked.

She closed her eyes and leaned against the wall. “All I see between us is sex, screwing and fucking. If you haven’t figured it out, I like sex, but I want more from my mate than orgasms. I need something real.”

He threw up his hands and glared at her. “Is there any chance that you are unwilling to see any possible good between us?”

“What the fuck is that supposed to mean?”

“That neither of us wanted a mate, and yet here we are.”

“And there’s the problem.” She wasn’t dealing with this bullshit though. Fuck the bar. She’d find somewhere she could go lone wolf and forget all about her type. She spun on her heel and stormed to her room, slamming the door in his face.

He pounded his hand against the door. “Jess, we need to talk. Don’t shut me out.”

“Go to hell.”

He growled, “How about you have a real conversation with me instead of jumping to conclusions?”

“Why? You’re right. I don’t want this, and obviously you don’t either.”

“Wrong. I did not want this before I met you, hell even until earlier today. Not because I didn’t want you. I’ve wanted you since the second I heard you on the phone.”

“Whatever.”

“I had a mate, I lost her, and I know what it feels like. I never wanted to risk that again.”

Shit, he was right. Shards of guilt shredded through her chest and she opened the door but crossed her arms over her chest, hoping to protect her heart.

He stared at her with his intense gray eyes. Her resolve started to melt. How was she supposed to resist him when his heart and soul were right there in his gaze? And when the hell did he develop real feelings beyond just lust? Had she?

Yeah, because she kept imagining all the ways he could screw up and it hurt. What a damned mess, but she refused to go down without a fight. She needed to set her boundaries, and do it now before the big bad Alpha did it for her.

There was no way she would roll over and let him take charge. She was opening the bar. She was going to have her own life. Okay, maybe in the bedroom he could take control half the time, but she liked things her way too much to ever let him have all the say even there.

“Talk to me, Jess.”

Right, she needed to woman up and put her foot down. Still, she almost cringed when her voice cracked. “So why now? Why me?”

“You woke me up from an old nightmare I hadn’t had in years.
