Chapter Six

Sam hadn’t meant to get back into bed with her, but he hadn’t been able to stop himself, seeing her naked body stretched out under the sheets. He couldn’t get enough of the feel of her skin, her soft flesh under his hands, the taste of her sweat on his tongue. He was exhausted from staying up all night, alternately watching her sleep and burying himself inside her. In spite of his satiation, his senses had stayed on high alert, listening to every cracking twig, every small night creature that invaded their sphere. He’d long ago lost his head over Callie, but his father was right—his feelings could be a liability.

He’d been stupid to think he could sleep with her in the first place. What was one more lie about not wanting her in the face of all the lies he’d ever told to keep his family’s secrets? What was one more lie if it kept them both safe? But he couldn’t do it. He couldn’t deny that he had always wanted her, had only kept his distance because she wasn’t one of them. He couldn’t lie to her when she was wound up and vulnerable and every single instinct he possessed, human and otherwise, was begging him to take her. There was only so much he could fight.

Then she’d had to poke at that damn tattoo and remind him of his father’s words, his obligations to his clan, his pack.

Sam pulled the grate off the fire pit and dumped in the handful of twigs and bits of kindling he’d been collecting while he stewed. He shook the spiders off the tarp covering the small woodpile and layered a few split logs over the kindling, lit a match, and slowly breathed life into the small fire. His father had delivered a cooler of food with his warning to keep Callie under control.

Callie emerged from inside, stretching and yawning in the same shorts and flannel shirt from yesterday. They’d both packed like it was inevitable. Why else would he bring a box of condoms and she a flannel shirt with snap buttons? He hadn’t even realized the shirt snapped until he ripped it open in his haste to bare her torso. Her arms over her head lifted the hem of her shirt, revealing a hint of her soft belly, and Sam had to consciously talk himself out of turning her right back around and throwing her into bed again.

“Hey.”

“Hey.”

“Is there anything I can do?”

“Not for a few minutes.”

She took a seat on one of the logs that ringed the fire, arms crossed and her knees tucked up to her chest. “Did I hear your dad earlier?”

Shit. “He came up to drop off some more food, check on us.”

“Sam, what’s going on?”

“Nothing.” The less she knew, the better. “Keep her calm. Under control.”

She eyed him dubiously. “Are you sure?”

“Of course.” He ducked his head so she couldn’t see him wince with the lie. “Hey, actually, do you mind going inside and grabbing the coffeepot?”

She got up without a word.
