Chapter Six

She rolled out of the bed onto her feet, dragging the quilt with her and wrapping it around her now-trembling, naked body.

She slapped at his hands when he tried to grab her. "Don't touch me."

"Frankie, come back here."

"No."

"We're not done talking."

"Yes, we are."

He got out of the bed, not bothered by his own nudity as he stood in front of her, glowering down at her. "You are my mate, not Olivia. No matter how it came about. It is now a fact."

"So, you're resigned to it? And I suppose you expect me to resign myself to marriage with a man who's pining after another woman? You think I should be okay with you using my body while you think of her?"

"It wasn't like that!"

Her eyes burned with tears she'd be darned if she shed in front of him. "You just got through saying it was."

"I did not. I would never do that to you." He rubbed his hand over his face, frustration lining his chiseled features. "Look, you're right. The chemistry wasn't there between Olivia and me. She didn't want me any more than I wanted her. I realized that yesterday. I shouldn't have implied there was more to our relationship than what you saw. I was being a prick and I'm sorry."

He sounded more furious than apologetic, and was his explanation supposed to make Frankie feel better?

It didn't. It just gave her another possible reason for his making love to her that was extremely painful. Had the other woman's rejection caused him to accept Frankie's sensual overtures? Had he made love to her in order to assuage his hurt pride at realizing Olivia didn't want him?

Her mind was spinning with one scenario after another, all of them awful.

"What was last night?" she asked in a desperate bid to understand how something so beautiful could have ended in this sense of ugly desolation.

"It was our mating."

But what had it meant to him besides what pack law stated it meant?

"Why did you make love to me like that…" Like he could never get enough, like she was ambrosia to his soul. "So many times… if you didn't want me?"

"I couldn't help myself." He said it so flatly she couldn't argue.

True or not, he believed she had seduced him, believed she was at fault for them having sex.

Wasn't she? a voice inside her head whispered. Hadn't she chosen to make love, not caring what the future held? She'd known he hadn't wanted a future with her and she had wanted him anyway.

"I don't know what to do." All she knew was that she hurt. Everywhere. Both inside and out. She could barely walk, her thigh muscles were so sore. "I need some time to myself. To think."

"Come back to bed and think with me."

Was he serious?

She looked down his body and almost choked on her outrage. "You're excited."

"That surprises you after last night and today?"

"You just got through telling me that I'm the last woman in the world you
