Chapter Four

Derek stormed through the living area to retrieve his pants, growling the entire way. He pulled them on with more force than necessary while replaying what had just happened through his mind. The damn human had seduced him. His mate. He shuddered, damning himself for being so stupid. Letting the little head do the negotiation, he'd thought he could screw her one good time and get her out of his system, end of story. Had the big head—the one with a functioning brain—been doing the thinking, he'd have never given in to temptation. He would have realized one taste of her wouldn't ever be enough. Now, for as long as he lived, he would crave the damn woman.

You might as well give in and give her the moon vow.

Derek tensed, cursing the errant thought. So what if he ached for the woman, heart, body, and soul? He'd worked too hard building the walls that protected him from pain and sorrow. Juliana would soften him, as evidenced by the way he'd carried her to bed, kissed her softly. It had hit him then that he cared about the human. The thought of causing her pain actually caused him pain, and they hadn't even exchanged the vow. What would he be reduced to if they did?

“Derek?”

She stood in the doorway of her bedroom, her lean body wrapped in a silk robe that did nothing to hide her curves. Swallowing hard, he reminded himself that exchanging a moon vow with her couldn't happen. “What?”

She jerked slightly at the harsh tone of his response, and guilt gnawed at his conscience. “You're angry with me.”

Unable to think of a reply to that observation, Derek turned away and picked up his shirt. Concentrating on pulling it over his head, he tried to ignore the scent of her. She smelled of soft, flowery perfume and sex. She smelled of him. The knowledge of why she now bore his scent had him hardening, ready for round two. Dammit.

“I deserve to know why you're mad.”

“On what grounds?” Derek turned toward her, his arms folded in front of him, his eyes—he was sure—red. A moon vow hadn't even been exchanged and the woman was already acting like a nagging wife. It was time he set her straight on one thing: Derek Kingston was not a wolf who would be tamed. “I brought hunters to your door, so it is my duty to protect you. That is all I owe to you, lady. A quick fuck doesn't grant you access to my psyche, and it damn sure doesn't make you anything more than just a piece of ass.”

Juliana's mouth dropped open in shock. Her eyes instantly watered, but she didn't shed a tear. Closing her mouth, she pinned him with a lethal glare and turned on her heel, stomping back into the bedroom.

Derek wrestled with his conscience while he heard her slamming drawers. Part of him wanted to walk in there, take her in his arms, and apologize before kissing her senseless, but the part of him he'd conditioned for protection warned him away.
