Chapter 10

Allie climbed in her car and decided to make the call once she got home. She feared that jumping on her cell phone a few seconds after she'd acquired the note would make her seem desperate. And that wasn't an image she wanted to convey, even if she was desperate, eager to get her hands on the amulet before someone else did.

What was Fallon's interest in The Vanessa? Was she trying to undermine Rory? Was she the witch helping Yvonne? Or was she an innocent who'd gotten caught up in this somehow?

Allie's stomach grumbled, so she stopped for some Chinese takeout, realizing she hadn't eaten yet today. Food was fuel. She needed it to survive.

Anxious to get home, she took the freeway, making it to the loft in record time, even at the onset of the traffic hour. But it was only a few exits away.

Shifting a plastic bag with containers of vegetable stir-fry and white rice, she unlocked the front door and went inside.

Then got attacked by Raven.

Not the bird.

The man.

Thomas.

"What the hell are you doing?" She had no idea when he'd shape-shifted, but he was as hungry as a wolf.

And not for food.

He knocked the bag out of her hand. Her purse and keys went down with it. And so did she, right to the floor. He climbed on top of her, kissing her, putting his scrumptious mouth all over hers. He was half naked, wearing a pair of West's jeans, the snap and zipper already undone.

Her mind reeled. There were so many things she needed to discuss with him. His name. Rory and Fallon. The lizards. Vanessa's ghost. Her suicide.

Oh, God.

He kissed her again. Sleek. Hot. Carnal.

How could she tell him that his wife had killed herself?

He got even more aggressive, tugging at her blouse, popping buttons. Wild. Free. Animalistic.

Rabid sex.

She wanted it, too. Lord help her, she did. But not at the expense of his emotions, of a heart that was sure to break. He needed to know what was going on. She put her hand against his bare chest, signaling "stop" against his skin.

"Raven, we have to talk."

"But we don't have much time," he argued. "I'm going to shift soon. I can feel it." He softened his voice. "I've been waiting for you. For hours."

"So much has happened," she said.

"It doesn't matter. Not right now."

"But it does."

"No." He pinned her beneath him, refusing to budge.

Well, hell, she thought. A knee to the groin would set him straight. Allie knew that was the best defense a woman could take to get out of this position.

But he wasn't her attacker.

He was her lover.

Still…

She didn't go for the groin, but she caught him off guard and managed to free herself, pinning him beneath her instead.

Stunned, he stared at her. Then he smiled. He thought it was a sexual game.

"We need to talk," she reiterated.

He frowned. He wasn't enjoying the game anymore.

Big, macho Apache. "Did you hear me?" she asked.

"Yes." He was still frowning. "I won't fight you. Not physically.
