“Kelsey,” a sharp voice startled me awake.

I fought him blindly, only knowing the nightmare still had me in its clutches. Gray pinned me, his big body covering mine and holding me down.

“Kelsey, wake up,” he commanded.

The fog began to lift as I realized I’m not in those woods any longer. I was with Gray. I could feel the heat of his body, the satisfying weight of him on top of me. The ceiling fan turned overhead and I took a deep breath. “Gray?”

His face gentled, his hands coming down to smooth back my hair. “It’s all right, baby. You’re here with me. It’s okay.”

He got off me and sat down on the edge of the bed. He turned on the small light on the nightstand. “Is that better?”

I nodded, still shaking from the dream. This was why I rarely went to bed sober. When I passed out, I didn’t dream about that night.

“Was it about your dad?”

“How do you know about that?” I asked, my voice as sharp as broken glass.

Gray looked down at me unflinchingly. “Jamie told me. You’re not the only one who has nightmares. We were on a stakeout a couple of years back and he fell asleep. He blew our cover when he woke up screaming. He told me about the things your father forced him to do. He told me about how it was nothing compared to what he did to you. I intend to kill your father if I ever find him.”

“Are you looking?” I wondered who my father would be more afraid of, me or Gray?

“I’ve been looking for him for almost a year,” Gray admitted. “I had a solid lead that he was in Canada, but a man can get really lost in the Yukon. I don’t have the time to track him like I should. If it would make you feel better, I’ll take some leave and I promise you, I will find him.”

He was serious. If I told him to, he would put in for a sabbatical and go to Canada to try to kill a man he didn’t even know so I would sleep better at night. No one before ever cared about me so much. It wasn’t that I didn’t have friends or brothers who loved me, but Gray was different. I shook my head. He could kill my father, but it wouldn’t stop the dreams. I couldn’t bring myself to tell Gray that the monster in my dreams wasn’t my father.

It was me.

I felt a gentle hand brush against my cheek. I wanted to tell him to stop. I didn’t want to be touched, but I allowed it. Gray seemed to need to do it. It got easier to handle until I leaned into his hands, wanting it. Until the need overcame everything else. His fingers brushed against my skin and I felt the electricity between us.

“Tell me,” he whispered against my hair.

I hesitated. I hadn’t told anyone but Jamie and Liv. I should blow him off. Tell him something about being scared of wolves.
