deep
breath, centered her emotions, told her wolf to keep it in her
pants and nodded to Chase.
    “Let’s move to a less crowded booth.”
    His blue eyes sparkled, and a smile spread
across his face. Chase inclined his head and slipped from the seat.
He took her hand into his and helped her up.
    “What?” Nicole laughed. “Don’t like the
company?”
    “Bite me,” Sam quipped with a grin and led
Chase to a booth on the opposite side of the bar. Chase’s hand fell
to the small of her back as she walked, and Sam reveled in the
teasing touch.
     
     

CHAPTER 4
     
     
    Chase inhaled Sam’s sweet honeysuckle scent
as he slid into the booth next to her. His leg brushed against hers
and without thinking he rubbed a hand down her thigh. Get a
grip, man. He could feel his wolf’s mirth at the situation, and
it frustrated him to no end. Chase was used to being in control…of
everything. With this girl, he had none. God help his heart if she
was just playing with him. How had he fallen so hard and so fast?
He’d never be able to pick up all the pieces if this was just a
game to her.
    “ Don’t even think that!” His wolf
snarled as the thought migrated across his consciousness. “I can
tell she likes us and so does her wolf. She is our mate, Chase. She
knows it.”
    You can tell what her wolf is thinking?
    “ It’s more of an intuition.”
    Chase snorted. His wolf was full of shit. Intuition my ass! You don’t have any more of a clue than I
do.
    “Then ask her and put us both out of our
misery.”
    She was staring at him with a quizzical
look. He swallowed. His mouth felt like it was lined with cotton
swabs. Had any of that conversation been spoken aloud?
    “Are you arguing with your wolf?”
    Chase coughed in surprise. Shit. “I…well, yes.” He had to give her credit for just coming out and
saying what she was thinking. Apparently there would be no dancing
around the subject with Samantha Demakis.
    She sighed and leaned back against the seat
cushion. “Me too. What is yours saying? Mine wants to jump your
bones right here in the bar.”
    A spark of humor twinkled in her ocean blue
eyes. A smile tugged at the corners of his mouth. Chase had been
able to smell her arousal from the moment he sat down. It was
literally driving him up the wall. Now, she was telling him her
wolf wanted to jump his bones. Wait… Did that mean she
didn’t?
    “How do you feel about your wolf’s
desires?”
    She leaned in close to him, and the edge of
her breast caressed his arm, sending a wave of arousal straight to
his already hardening cock. “I think you are quite attractive, but
I don’t know anything about you. Unlike my wolf, I’m not willing to
act on instinct alone.”
    “I have to be honest. I’ve never felt an
attraction to a woman as strongly as I feel about you. I had
actually resigned myself to never finding a mate.”
    Shit. He’d said mate aloud.
    She turned in her seat so she could face
him. He waited as she formed her thoughts. Chase could tell her
wolf probably had a lot of input in the conversation too. He was
glad. It was rumored that a lot of the noble families ignored their
wolves and made alliances with each other strictly based on power
and money. Mates were chosen like business partners.
    “ Crappy way to live out seven or eight
centuries.”
    I’m sure they form some type of bond.
    “ Yes, but it’s nothing like a true mate
bond,” his wolf answered.
    “Your wolf thinks I’m a possible mate?” she
asked.
    He snapped his gaze back to her now-engaged
focus. “Yes, from the very first contact at the airport.”
    She smiled and tucked her phone into her
purse. “Would you like to go get something to eat? I’m starving. I
sorta ducked out of my house before dinner.”
    “You don’t want to order something
here?”
    Her eyes glinted with mischief. “There’s
this little place a few streets over. Joe’s Dine and—”
    “Joe’s Dine and Run. I haven’t been there in
years.” Chase slid
