Chapter Five

“Using jealousy to engage her reaction won’t work. She has means at her disposal to get even. Like spit in your coffee.”

“Adam. Adam!”

His head jerked around as he finally registered someone calling his name. Dean was standing just inside the doorway of the hotel’s gym, watching as Adam pounded away on the treadmill. He stabbed at a button and treadmill slowed to a stop. Stepping off, he grabbed a towel and rubbed it roughly over his dripping hair.

“Something wrong?” he asked Dean.

Dean leaned one shoulder against the doorframe and studied Adam with a curious gaze. “I don’t know. Is something wrong?”

“Don’t know what you’re talking about.” Adam tossed his towel into a hamper and headed toward the shower. Dean was right on his heels.

“Oh, come on, man. Eva took off and you’re as moody as teenage girl. What’s happened with you two?”

Adam turned and faced Dean, his shoulders drooping. “Okay, yeah. Something happened with me and Eva.” He looked away from Dean, not wanting to tell him exactly what went on last night.

Dean nodded at him, urging him to go on.

Adam sighed and looked up at the tiled ceiling before continuing. “Well, you know she was in heat, hell, every tiger in Nevada knew she was in heat, anyhow, she came to my room, ready to pounce on me for running off the tigers who were sniffing around. I guess, her heat just took over…and…she kissed me…and…we slept together.”

Dean guffawed and clapped him on the shoulder. “You dog! Damn, I should have paid more attention to the other tigers around and played hero. Maybe she’d have come and ‘talked’ to me instead.”

Adam shoved him away, not wanting to deal with Dean’s jokes right now. “No, that’s not how it was.”

“How was it, then?”

“I’m pretty sure, she’s my mate.”

Dean dropped onto a nearby bench, his mouth open in shock. “No. Shitting. Way.”

Adam rolled his shoulders. “Yeah, pretty sure. Listen. I think, maybe, I think I should marry her.”

“What makes you say that?”

“It’s the right thing to do, man. There’s a reason we were promised years ago. We’re both heirs, marrying will unite our clans into one powerful clan. It just makes sense. It’s the reason our grandfathers made the arrangement.”

“Do you love her?”

Adam’s face tightened. “What’s that got to do with anything?”

Dean just shook his head. “So, you’re going to go to Eva and offer up a marriage because ‘it’s the right thing to do,’ not because you have feelings for her. That’s what you’re going to say? To a woman? To a weretigress? You’re just going to propose a business transaction. You’re a little bit stupid, Adam. No, sorry, you’re totally stupid, Adam.”

Adam scoffed. “Yes, I think it will work. Eva’s a rational girl.”

Dean laughed his ass off, attracting annoyed glances from people in the gym. “Uh huh, because that’s what every woman is looking for in a marriage proposal. Rationality. Boy, I can’t wait to see how this goes. I have to hand it to you, cousin, your love life is very amusing.
