CHAPTER TEN

Wolf heard her sob, half muffled against his shoulder, and felt the shudder that went through her small body tucked up under his. A lot of chicks cried after sex, especially when the sex had been mind-blowing, and it had never bothered him before. He simply held them and stroked them until whatever emotional storm had passed.

But the sound of Olivia’s sobs hit him in a completely different way.

He didn’t like the sound, for a start. It made his chest feel tight, made him think about whether he’d made a mistake, that he shouldn’t have given her what she wanted after all.

It made him feel like he’d hurt her—and that thought, in turn, hurt him.

He shifted his body so he wasn’t lying directly on top her, because she was very small and he wasn’t. Then he did what he normally did and kept his arms around her, tucking her head beneath his chin, stroking the long silky brown strands of her hair.

She gave another sob, burrowing into his neck, and began to cry in earnest, her breath warm and damp against his bare skin.

Wolf stared up at the low wooden ceiling, at the long bar of afternoon sunlight that came through the porthole and stretched over the wood. The familiar movement of the boat at the dock was soothing. Olivia weeping, not so much.

Fuck, had he made a mistake? Had he taken what he shouldn’t have?

He’d had no idea what had set her off, what had made her get up from the table and head straight for the bedroom. She’d clearly been trying to get off the boat, which he couldn’t allow, not when her father would no doubt by now be mobilizing his forces to find her.

He’d simply wanted to make sure she didn’t blow their cover, plus find out what the hell she’d been so upset about. He hadn’t expected her to suddenly start laying into him, her small fists battering against his chest.

She’d been angry about something, that was for sure. No, not simply angry, she’d been furious. And for some reason she’d turned it on him. He’d let her hit him, because it hadn’t hurt and she clearly needed to get rid of some of her rage. But then he thought she might hurt herself, since he wasn’t exactly a soft target, so he’d grabbed her wrists and held on.

She’d looked at him then and he’d seen the moment the anger had turned into something different. He hadn’t expected her to act on it though. To step up to him, bite him. Kiss him.

Perhaps if she’d left it after the bite, he’d have been fine. He would have been able to resist. But she hadn’t. She’d kissed him again, awkward and hesitant, her fingers shaking as she clawed at the material of his shirt. Shaking as they’d touched his skin, her breath coming in short, hard pants.

He’d never had a woman be so desperate for him before. So desperate that her hands shook. Women liked him, and when he had sex, he made sure they went away happy and satisfied.
