Chapter 6

The afternoon sun shone through the blinds, casting streams of light across the floor. Danica stretched her pleasantly sore muscles. The things Nevan had done to her rolled around in her mind, rousing the hunger again. Damn, that man was fast becoming her addiction. She rolled over and frowned at the empty side of the bed. Wondering where he’d gone, she swung her legs over the side of the bed and peered at the clock. Shit. It was one in the afternoon.

She’d never slept in that late. Then again, she’d had the best sex of her life. A snicker tumbled from her lips, followed by a sigh at the smell of bacon on the air. Her stomach growled, pushing her into motion. Grabbing her robe, she secured it in place and went down the hall to the kitchen.

Entering the kitchen, she had to fight a moan. Nevan stood in front of the stove in nothing but jeans. She stepped up behind him and wrapped her arms around his waist. “Aren’t you cold?”

He turned in her arms. “Nope. I’ve got the fire going and muffins in the oven.”

“Mmm. They smell wonderful. Blueberry?”

He chuckled, slid his hands to her ass, and lifted her off the ground. She wrapped her legs around him. “Shay said they were your favorite.”

She pulled back, confused. ‘When did you talk to her?”

“She stopped by this morning to check on you.”

Color rose in his cheeks, making her smile. “You can’t hide scents from shifters.”

He locked gazes with her. “No, you can’t. But I think she was a little embarrassed, too.”

“That’s my baby sis.”

“She brought by some more herbs for you.”

“Oh, good. I’m about out.”

He sat her on the counter and tended to the bacon in the skillet. “What are they for?”

“Tea. Some of them help with healing. Shay hopes that my scars will diminish over time.” A pang in her heart caused her to look away from him, but his empathy kicked in, and he knew as soon as her mood changed.

He stepped into her line of sight and brushed the robe aside to press a tender kiss on her scarred breast. “They are part of you. I think you are beautiful with them.”

“I’m not perfect like other shifters.”

“I don’t want perfect because it doesn’t exist in any species.”

Overwhelmed with emotion, she peered into his gray eyes and realized that she was falling in love with him. He accepted her for who she was and saw past the physical imperfections. He saw her. “Nevan. I—”

A knock on the door startled both of them. Nevan straightened her robe and helped her down so she could answer the door.

Dread flooded her system upon seeing Keegan and Jared on the front porch. “Keegan. Jared.” She moved to the side to let them in.

The Alpha nodded to Nevan in greeting before speaking. “Dani, in light of the accident yesterday, I have given Jared my blessings to mate with you.”

Her heart stopped, and her lungs refused to work for a moment. “No.”

“It’s done,” Jared said and moved closer to her.
