For the first time in a long time Cree felt…satiated. She actually felt satiated. There was no restlessness, no need to move, and no desire to run to burn excess energy. No, she was content to keep still and hold her resting place against the grizzly beneath her. The snoring grizzly beneath her. If she didn’t know he was the source of said euphoria, she’d roll him off the bed then use him as a trampoline for her own amusement; however, he was. Maddox had made good on his promise to fuck her into submission. She’d never admit it out loud but he’d accomplished what she never could—he’d quieted the beasts.

And now, well, Cree had no idea what to do with herself. Did she simply lie here, resisting the urge to plug his nose? Did she go into the kitchen and make sure her fridge was stocked so he could eat once he stopped that goddamn snoring? Did she plot world domination? What was she supposed to do?

“Listen,” Maddox’s cranky voice suddenly barked, startling her. “If you’re going to sit here, swimming in all your illogical, narcissistic thoughts, could you at least do it while running your hand through my hair and flicking at the spot where my extra nipple used to be?”

She suppressed a smile. “You had a love/hate relationship with it didn’t you?”

“There were benefits,” he yawned, blinking up at her. “Take advantage of them.”

Cree shook her head. “Someone should really give you a mental evaluation at some point.”

Needless to say, we had to part ways after that.” He looked off briefly. “I wasn’t particularly sad being that I’m pretty sure she’s the reason I opened my linen closet one day and miscellaneous items such as car rims and picture frames came tumbling out. What happened to be frightening was that the frames were all filled with pictures of men who all looked like me. I dunno if I was another mark or if she had also been a serial killer who liked to store away keepsakes.” His mouth twisted. “I still have the use of my ankles and I don’t feel occasional jabs in my back as though someone is using a voodoo doll so I’m going to assume it was the first…”

“Maddox?”

“Yes?”

“I think I liked the silence of my swimming in illogical, narcissistic thoughts better than disturbing anecdotes from your past relationships.”

“Were these thoughts centered on the choked gasps my penis caused earlier?” he queried mildly.

She tucked in her lips. “No.”

“Then me no care about them,” Maddox dismissed. He placed his arms behind his head and questioned, “Are we going to discuss the choked gasps or no?”

Cree closed her eyes. “No.”

“Now see,” he began slowly. “That doesn’t really work for me.”

That’s when she found herself flat on her back with close to 300 pounds of grizzly hovering over her. “Would you like to tell
