defended. “My father died and Mom took
over, and to hear it from the others, she’s a greater leader
than he was. Fairer in her judgments and more thoughtful in her
decisions.”
    “ I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to sound
rude. Women don’t lead in the wolf pack. If our leader dies,
his son takes over.”
    “ My brother was too young to take over. He will
soon,” Alice told him. “But what happens here if there is
no son?”
    “ Leadership goes to the closest male relative.”
    “ Ew, thank god the bears don’t do that. My
uncle would have driven the clan to civil war,” she scoffed.
    Alex laughed. “I see your point. Are you
finished?”
    Alice looked down at her plate. She’d all but
licked it clean. She nodded and he took it from her, handing her the
water again. She drank half of it in a gulp, then reclined against
the pillows. Her belly was full, her leg felt better than it had all
day, and she was completely relaxed from the good conversation. She
closed her eyes for a moment, and then realized Alex had been quiet
for a long time.
    She looked up and found him staring at her again. “Why
do you keep staring at me?”
    “ I can’t stop.” He had finished
clearing the plates and had stopped to watch her. Mesmerized by her
beauty, he couldn’t take his eyes off her. Her chocolate skin
glowed in the yellow light, and her full lips and sultry smile drew
him to her. He longed to touch her, feel the beauty of her skin. “I’m
sorry.”
    “ What are you thinking?” she asked. Her
thoughts had strayed to when he’d stood naked before her, his
masculinity so alluring she’d almost asked him to kiss her. She
looked at him now, at the way he stared at her as if he might ravish
her, and was aroused.
    Alex moved to kneel next to the bed, his eyes level with
hers. “I’m thinking about how much I want to kiss you.
Touch you.” He lifted his hand and brushed his fingers across
her cheek. His thumb traced the outline of her lips, and his other
hand rested on her ample thigh, caressing it softly.
    Alice’s body responded immediately to his touch,
and she yearned for him. She tilted her head to the side and back,
giving him access to her lips or her throat, whichever he wished to
kiss first. Her eyes fluttered closed as his lips touched hers. Her
mouth opened to his tongue, and she played hers over his, sighing
into his mouth as if offering him a part of her soul.
    She reached up and snagged her fingers in his black,
rugged hair, holding him to her. He rose from his kneeling position
without breaking contact and lay next to her on the bed. Even with
his eyes closed and his mouth occupied, he was careful not to touch
her wounded leg. Gently, he ran his hand along her hip and up her
waist under the tee shirt she wore, relishing the feel of her soft
skin. He ran his hand along her stomach, briefly pausing above her
mound before continuing up to her bounteous breasts and sighed when
their heaviness fell into his palm.
    Alice’s hands were equally busy, exploring his
body. She touched his chest, traced his rock hard abs, and hastily
brushed her fingers over the bulge in his jeans. He jerked at the
touch, and she smiled into his mouth and did it again, teasing him.
The kiss deepened, their hands quickened as did their heart rates.
    Alice wanted him, more than she’d ever wanted
anyone. And it terrified her. She jerked her mouth from his and put
her hands on his chest, holding him at bay.
    “ Alice, what’s wrong? Did I hurt you?”
he asked. His hand remained on her hip, his thumb moving in a slow
arc, driving her mad with lust.
    Alice sat up and gave him a little shove away from her.
He got off the bed, but remained kneeling at the side so he could be
close to her. He touched her knee gently. She caught her breath and
put her hand over his. She wanted the contact as much as he did.
    “ Alex, we can’t do this. I mean, you’re
a werewolf and I’m a werebear. We could never be together, and
I don’t have sex
