Kane wove through traffic on his way home. He felt a pressing need to be at his house, which he didn’t like. Why did he care where he was? But the desire was there, so he drove a little faster, while telling himself it didn’t matter when he arrived. It wasn’t as if Willow was going to be there.

Not that he wanted to see her. Or the damn cat. He would admit to some curiosity about the kittens. Maybe they’d grown a little since he’d been gone. Their eyes should be opening. That could be interesting.

He turned down a side street, then hit the remote control device that opened the large wrought-iron gate that led to his place. It was a shorter route than going down by the main house, and more private. He eased his Mercedes forward and checked to make sure the gate had closed behind him.

He rounded the corner and saw Willow standing in front of his place with some guy. It took Kane less than two seconds to read the fear in her body language and the intent in the man’s raised hand.

He parked and got out of his car. His movements were deceptively slow, but inside, he felt tension build. The guy looked ready to take on someone and Kane was more than happy to oblige.

“Is this him?” the intruder asked Willow as Kane approached. “Is he the reason you won’t come back with me?”

“I won’t come back with you because I don’t want to,” she told him firmly. “I’m not interested in having a relationship with you, Chuck. Now go away.”

Chuck laughed. “I don’t think so.”

Willow looked at Kane. “I’m sorry about this. Kane, this is Chuck. Somebody I used to know.”

Chuck glared at her and swore. Although he’d lowered his hand to his side, he was still standing too close and doing his best to intimidate Willow. But she wasn’t one to be pushed around. Kane saw her square her shoulders and stare right back at the jerk, as if to prove he couldn’t scare her.

“Willow’s mine,” Chuck said, still glaring at Willow “I’m taking her with me.”

Kane felt the slow burn build inside. He stood ready to attack, but without knowing if he should. He didn’t mind being annoyed by this ass, what concerned him was the reason—Willow.

He shouldn’t want to protect her, but he did. He shouldn’t want to claim, yet the need to grab her and brand her with his mouth and his body grew with each passing second. He knew better than to feel anything, ever, yet the emotions would not be denied.

Kane walked toward Chuck. “Is there any part of you that thinks I’m going to let you take Willow anywhere?”

Chuck met his gaze and blinked first. “I, ah…”

“You could try it,” Kane continued. “I think that would be fun. Come on. Try it.”

Chuck paled and took a step back.

“You were so eager to force her,” Kane said. “Were you going to hit her? It looked like you were.
