“Remember, quiz tomorrow on the difference between a zygote and an embryo,” Professor Phillips announced while dismissing the class. “Also, my office hours have changed. I will only be available Monday, Thursday, and Friday from one to three p.m.”

She dumped her book into her backpack and stood, thankful biology was her last class for the day. The lecture time gave her a chance to think about last night, about her reaction to seeing Nico fight for her. In some weird way, seeing him fight made her stomach flutter and her heart skip a beat. Watching him as she had also twisted a visceral part of her. She equated it to Darwinism. The strong only sought out the strong, and her wolf saw demanded she claim the man.

Which led her back to the lunch date she’d agreed to. In those last moments spent in the locker room, a part of her wanted to know when. Yet another part liked the idea of it being spontaneous. Before she left, he’d grabbed her hand and tugged her back to him. His dark eyes blazed with desire seconds before he dipped his chin and claimed her mouth. His arm banded her, pressing her flush to his body. The kiss, exploratory. Lazy. He tasted her. Sipped from her lips. He’d coaxed her into it, drawing out her desires. Hayden had wound her arms around his neck. It had felt like coming home. So right she didn’t want to let go.

Almost a little too perfect.

When he drew back, wonderment and a hint of awe had filled his features. In the next second, he’d schooled his expression before walking toward the shower, leaving Hayden to stare after him.

As she pushed the classroom door open, she spotted him waiting for her outside, his arms crossed over the wide expanse of his chest and his feet evenly spaced apart. The air of authority and dominance rolling off of him made a shiver of delight roll through her, and her wolf preened at seeing her mate. She turned and marched down the hall in the opposite direction. Why no, I didn’t see you standing there.

The farther she got from him, the less her body hummed with energy. Her wolf paced and snarled at her.

“Done with classes?” His silky-smooth voice wrapped around her, knocking her off–kilter. She should have known he’d catch up. “I thought you saw me standing there waiting. Or did you ignore me?”

“I don’t know what you’re talking about.” Liar, liar pants on fire.

“So I thought we could grab some lunch today and talk.” He kept pace with her, parting the crowd with ease.

“Talk about what?”

“Us.”

“There is no us.”

“Oh I beg to differ, little wolf.” Taking her hand, he led her over to his truck. “Get in.”

“No.” She growled. “I mean, wait. I thought I’d have a little more time to prepare for this.” She scratched her forehead. “Right now?”

“Damn it, Hayden. If you don’t get in the fucking truck, I’ll put you in the vehicle, and you won’t like it.
