silent prayer of

thanks. "What happened?"

Wren hesitated. She could see the debate on his handsome face as he wrestled with

what to say.

"Be honest with me, Wren. I already know you're a shape-shifter and I haven't freaked

out… much. You might as well tell me the whole thing."

He winced as if something hurt before he spoke. "Yeah, I wish I could have stayed

awake long enough to see your face when I changed over."

"No, you don't I assure you, it wasn't pretty."

He cocked his head and took her hand into his so that he could toy with her fingers as

they rested on his chest, just over his bare nipple. He rubbed her palm against his hardened

nub before he lifted her hand to his chafed lips to place a tender kiss on her fingertips.

"There's never anything about you that isn't pretty, Maggie. You're the most beautiful

woman I've ever seen."

Her heart pounded at his words as heat went through her. No one had ever said anything so sweet to her before. "I knew you had a concussion."

He started to shake his head at her, but it ended up as a wince, as the gesture must have

hurt him.

"So what happened?" she asked again.

"Nothing major. It's just a group of assholes out to kill me."

She wasn't sure what dismayed her most, his stoic tone or the fact that his confession

didn't really come as a surprise. She'd figured as much. "Who are they?"

"Other Were-Animals."

There were more of him? She forced herself not to react to that. But to be honest, she'd

assumed the ones who hurt him had been human. Given his solitary nature, it would have

made sense that he was completely alone in the world.

Stupid her to not be more imaginative.

"Why are they trying to kill you?"

"Because I shouldn't be seeing a human. We're not supposed to have anything more than casual relationships with your kind. They're afraid that by being with you, I'm

becoming dangerous to them."

As much as she hated hearing him say "your kind," she realized for once that there

really was a difference between her and him. She was human and he wasn't.

At least not entirely.

"Are you dangerous?"

"I don't know. You're all I can think about. When I'm away from you, it hurts in a way I

wouldn't have thought possible and I don't know why. I shouldn't feel like this for a human

woman. I know that. I crave being with you so much that it's like some kind of madness

inside me. Maybe they're right. Maybe I should be put down."

"Or maybe they're wrong. I don't think you're dangerous, Wren. At least not physically.

But what you do to my body might be considered criminal in some states."

He offered her a smile. "Thanks for taking me in and not calling the cops."

"No problem. Believe me, letting a gorgeous naked man into the house isn't a 93
