Incredibly, Liam did leave with his family, and Kim found herself alone in the house. She’d expected Liam to stay on his overprotective kick and insist she come back with them to Shiftertown for the night. Or maybe move his whole family to her house so they could watch satellite TV, she wasn’t sure.

But Liam had gone back upstairs, put on his clothes, and herded Connor and Sean out through the garage just as Dylan pulled a big pickup into her driveway. As the others piled in, Liam slid his arms around Kim and kissed her.

“You rest now,” he said, smoothing her hair. “We’ll talk later.”

Kim’s lips tingled and she wanted more, but she made herself step back. “I’m going to work in the morning. I’m not dropping the case, whatever Fergus might think.”

“I know.” Liam lifted her hand and kissed her palm. “You wouldn’t be yourself if you dropped it. But as you like to say, we need to talk.”

Kim suddenly, inconsistently, didn’t want him to leave. “Tomorrow?”

“Tomorrow.”

Liam brushed another warm kiss to her lips and walked out. Kim resisted the urge to rush after him, to tell him to come back, to beg him to stay.

What was the matter with her? Liam and his family had imprisoned her in Shiftertown, and then she’d driven them a hundred or so miles to the middle of nowhere so she could endure the abuse of Fergus the Irish biker thug.

Then why did her heart ache as the pickup backed away, all four Morrissey men squished into the cab? Liam must have brainwashed her with his fine blue eyes and incredible smile, not to mention intense, mind-blowing sex.

As Kim closed the door, the emptiness of the house pressed on her. The TV was dark and quiet, no male voices raised in jubilation. She stood in the middle of the living room and felt the silence.

Kim went through the rest of the afternoon on automatic. She showered, trying not to gaze at the rug where she’d ridden Liam so ecstatically. The tactile memory of his body on hers, of every finger press, every kiss, every slide of skin on skin was imprinted on her. Kim had never had sex like that in her life.

In a half daze she drove down the hill to her local grocery store. She found herself putting things in her cart that wouldn’t have occurred to her a few days ago—steaks, ground beef, potato chips, and Guinness stout. Why? she wondered as she paid without meeting the cashier’s eyes. It’s not like I’m going to invite them over again. But just in case . . .

Kim took the food home and crammed everything into the refrigerator. She fixed herself a salad that she picked at, and then she opened her briefcase and laptop and flipped listlessly through files.

She needed to get her head around all this—Brian, the Collars, Fergus, this mating thing. She reread a note from her friend Silas asking Kim whether she could get him an interview with the Shifter leaders.
