Chapter 19

Aries stared at the closed door. The rut! She’d grown up in Montana, in prime hunting country and she loved the sport dearly, which meant she was familiar with the rut and how it affected deer. She wondered if it affected a man, a Walker, the same way.

The rut for deer meant the mating season, a period when males would fight each other for possession of a herd of females in estrus. Females in estrus. She fingered the white strands of her hair as she eyed at the door. Am I fertile? She was computing the days on her fingers, trying to remember when she’d last bled. Her head fell back and her eyes closed as she dropped her arms to hang loosely at her sides. Oh God! It’s me!

She turned to eye her tray of food. She was hungry, which meant that Conn was starving…literally. She sucked in a sharp breath and unbuttoned the shirt he’d given her to wear. She dropped it on the floor then peeled off the oversized sweats until she was once again wearing only her black slip. He is risking his life for me and I need him healthy.

Her pep talk did little to settle her nerves. In fact, it only made her more trepidatious because she knew she was lying to herself. Deep down she knew she just wanted to finish what they’d started in the gymnasium at StoneCrow.

Adrenaline coursed through her as she crossed to the door and pulled it open. What if he rejects me? She shoved the thought away, remembering his reaction to her in the gym.

He slowly lifted his head, “What do you need?”

She bit her bottom lip before pulling the door open, “Can you come here?”

“Aries, eat and get some rest.” His tone was impatient. He dropped his head back into his hands.

“S-something’s wrong,” she lied. It got his attention.

Conn stood and stalked toward her, his eyes leaving her face to search the empty room behind her. “What is it?” He entered the room and scanned it quickly looking for anything out of the ordinary.

Aries closed the door behind him and Conn turned to frown at her when he heard her slide the lock into place. She pointed to the bed, “Lie down.”

His brows drew together in a dark frown, “Damn it Aries, I thought something was wrong.”

“Something is wrong.” She approached and placed palms on his chest. “I…need you.”

Conn’s frown faltered. He grabbed her wrists, “What are you doing?”

“Being smart,” she supplied and stepped closer to him.

He backed up a step, the back of his knees hit the bed. “Aries you…” His words were cut off when Aries stepped closer still and
