CHAPTER
THREE

 
      Jett was
shocked to the core hearing Sam was going to be there soon. He thought he’d
have a little time to really figure out if Corrine was the one for him. His
tiger was positive she was, especially after seeing her feline half, the
human-side was still a bit gun shy. Being burned once by a woman was definitely
enough. And he wasn’t prepared to deal with the friend/sister issue unless
Corrine really was his mate.
      If she wasn’t then no one needed to know
they hooked up. It was a cold and probably callous thought; nevertheless it was
how he felt.
      Dropping his arm from her shoulder, he
adopted a calm, relaxed look. Hoping his voice would follow. “Later today?” he
asked as casually as possible.
    Corrine
cocked her head to the side, eyes narrowing slightly. “Yeah. Later. He’ll
probably show up in time for breakfast like he usually does, hoping I’ll make a
huge breakfast just for him. Is that a problem?”
    He
could hear the challenge in her voice. Felt the pressure to make a choice he
wasn’t ready to make. Acid formed in the pit of his stomach and he felt sick.
Just thinking about committing before he knew for sure she was the one made his
head hurt.
    Without
thought he took a step to the side. Putting distance between them. He wasn’t
lying when he said he wanted to spend more time with her and not just having
sex. He just wasn’t going to be able to pledge his undying love, as Sam was no
doubt going to demand.
    Memory
after memory rolled through his head of Sam complaining about a guy Corrine was
seeing. How none of them were good enough for his sister and each and every one
of them were like dogs in heat. At the time, Jett laughed and commiserated with
him since he had two younger sisters of his own.
    Now
he was the guy in heat and though he and Sam were friends, Jett wasn’t too sure
he would find him good enough for his sister. Sam knew all of the crazy things
he’d done and the women he’d messed around with. Hell, Sam had joined him a few
times with a woman or two, all in the name of having a good time. The women
knew the score. Some hot and heavy sexin’, no commitment involved.
    Fuck
no. Having Sam all over his ass about his intentions wasn’t something he was
ready for. Not this early into a barely there relationship he wasn’t even sure
was going to work.
    It
didn’t help that past experience had him on the run from the idea of settling
down with one of his kind and no mind-blowing romp in the woods was going to
instantly change that. With time, yeah, maybe.
    His
ex-girlfriend, Macy, did a great job fucking him up in the commitment department.
Her obsession and stalking after they broke up left him cold. After her, he
could only bring himself to casually date non-shifter women. They were safe
choices. He made sure they knew he wasn’t looking for long term and he didn’t
have to worry about his tiger popping his head up to check them out.
    Corrine
was the first shifter since Macy he’d had any interest in. When he walked into
the little bakery, he planned on finding out if it was Sam’s sister tempting
his sweet tooth. Then day after day he was compelled to stop in, his tiger
taking more of a notice on each visit. Craving more. Wanting to get to know
her—to get close to her. His tiger made it clear that he wanted out and
wanted Corrine. Which was damn difficult since his tiger-side was his dominant
half.
    It
took him a week to even decide to come out here and take a chance. His issue
with Corrine being his friend’s little sister aside, the fact she was a shifter
and he was attracted to her was harder to deal with. He had to warm up to the
idea. Tell himself it was okay and that it was time to
move on, grow up a little. Remind himself that all
female shifters weren’t crazy like Macy. His mother and sisters were proof of
that.
    Now
with Sam coming he felt boxed in. Panic reared its ugly head. If he
