I expected her to leap up from the table and run all the way to town. To hide.

Instead, she stared at me, her mouth slightly ajar.

“You’ve fired me,” she said.

That was all she could think to say? “Yes.”

“That means you’re no longer my boss. There’s no more power dynamic between us. We’re . . . equals.”

I dipped my head forward, unsure where she was going with this.

I braced myself for the rejection I knew was coming. I’d laid it out for her, though I hadn’t been completely honest. Yes, she’d triggered my awakening. Yes, I would soon be consumed by a mating frenzy. And yes, it would end within one moon.

The frenzy, however, not the awakening.

That would link me to her for the rest of my life. I’d always crave her. Only distance would keep my frenzy from rising each cycle.

When she licked her upper lip, it was all I could do not to groan.

“So, it’s my choice to stay or leave,” she said.

“It is not a choice,” I bellowed. Birds shot from the tree, squawking. They fluttered into the sky, fleeing this area. “If you stay, I will claim you in a billion different ways during my frenzy.”

“Whoa.” Her breath whooshed out, and color rode high in her face. She fanned her cheeks.

“Go to my tent and decide. I will call for a shuttle if you have not reappeared within an hour. If your choice is to leave, I accept this. Remain inside the tent until the shuttle lands in front. You won’t see me again. I won’t see you again.”

“Hmm.” Her brow scrunched.

I pointed. “Go to my tent!”

Her eyes widened, but they also sparkled with humor. Seeing it not only irked me, but it also made my cock slam against the underside of the table.

“This is why you’re aroused all the time.” She swallowed and looked up at me. “I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to do this.”

“Go!”

Her lips thinned. “All right. All right.” Rising, she glared down at me. “You sure are cranky.”

“I am crankier now than I was when I met you.”

“What a way to make a girl blush.”

When I growled, she grinned. If my arms weren’t pressing down on it, my cock would’ve lifted the table.

Turning, she hurried to the tent. I tried to read her thoughts in how she moved, in how she shot a steady look at me over her shoulder, but I couldn’t.

Grumbling, I rose, willing my cock to deflate. It ignored me, stabbing upward inside my pants. My frenzy had almost consumed me. I could feel it flaming through my blood, screaming I needed to take her.

I wouldn’t do this without her consent.

After the way life had treated me, I didn’t owe anyone anything, but I owed Cora the chance to make her own decisions.

I strode to the house, determined to put her from my mind and get to work. I sorted through the construction material, organizing it when it didn’t need organization.

After carrying piles of siding and laying them on the ground in the area where I needed them, I paused, lifting the com encircling my arm.
