bra that matched her panties and handed it to her with a grin. “This is all too real and I, for one, am glad to say it.”
    “Stop being such a lecher and find the rest of my clothes, will you?” Kendra snatched her bra away from him and put it on under the cover of the sheet.
    She’d just rearranged her covering when she found her socks and shoes. The only thing left was her blouse. Where in the world was it?
    “Aha,” Galen said as he headed her way with a look of determination. “I found your shirt. It’s under the bed.” Kneeling, he reached under the bed and brought it out. “It’s a good thing that Doctor Thornton is a clean freak. At least it’s not covered with dust bunnies.” He handed it to her with a grin. “There you go, sweetheart.”
    “My name is Kendra, or Ms. Mortensen. I am neither your sweetheart, nor your baby. Please remember that.”
    Taking a deep breath, Kendra dropped the sheet and yanked her blouse over her head. “Just give me a minute to put on my shoes and I’ll be ready to go.”
    Her main concern was where this man planned to take her. She needed to wake up. She had papers to grade and a lesson plan to prepare for Monday. Her main concern was that this dream was so long, it made her wonder if she’d tripped and fell at the stadium and now she was in a coma. Whatever the reason, Kendra had to wake up.
     

Chapter Eight
     
     
    Kendra sat on the bed and pulled on her socks and shoes. Gods, she was beautiful. Hell, she even made dressing look sexy.
    Her long red hair fell about her shoulders in a mass of shining waves that rivaled the sun. Her light complexion was perfect, a combination of colors that he was as at loss to describe, other than to say she was just plain gorgeous.
    She even smelled good enough to eat, like honey and cream. He could scent her arousal, though he was certain she’d deny it. He didn’t miss the way she kept glancing his way. She kept checking out the length of his legs, his midsection, his eyes, and if he wasn’t mistaken, the size of his package.
    He wanted to laugh with joy. He had finally found the one woman he could mate. Sure he could have sex with anyone. He could have children with anyone, if they tried hard enough, but this is the one woman he would give his life to protect above all others.
    “Are you ready?” He moved closer. His wolf wanted to rub against her, mark her as his mate. However, his human half knew that the practice would most likely scare her off. She was skittish, and for good reason. She’d been kidnapped and she’d been injected with a serum that changed her life forever. One step at a time, Tolbert.
    “Are you ready?” Cameron asked as he stuck his head into the cell and looked around. “Jesus. Another compound, more cells.” He shook his head. “Where is this lunatic getting his funding?”
    “The government—at least he used to get his funding from there. Who knows now? Maybe he spent years skimming off the top just in case he lost the funding and wanted to keep going. I’m not certain he gives a damn about the government anymore. I’m beginning to think he wants his own shifter army to take over himself.”
    “Talk about delusions of grandeur,” Cameron said as he backed up and held the door open for them. “Are we blowing this place or keeping it?”
    Galen wasn’t sure what Bastien’s plans were for the place, but he knew he never wanted to visit this godforsaken desert ever again. “Blow it. I’m sure the asshole doctor has another lab in a more hospitable place that we can appropriate after we chase him out.” He turned to Randy and Jackson as they hurried up. “Speaking of Thornton, did you catch him?”
    “No.” Randy shook his head. “He and his hired thug made it out clean again. By the looks of it, they took the hard drives from the office and left through a secret passage, as is his MO.”
    “Shit, that figures.” Galen stared at the floor and rubbed the back of his neck. “Did we
