explain that. I heal people, or try to.”
    “Like a wolf physician?”
    Nicholas scratched his neck, confused as hell. “I don’t know about wolf, but I am a physician.”
    “Why are you scratching? Did you get the bumps?” Jason sat forward, alarm filling his eyes. This could not be real. There was no way a handsome man like this guy was interested in him, a wolf at that. Okay, the wolf part was a little freaky, but everyone had their kink.
    “No, just a nervous habit I have. I already had the…bumps when I was little.” Nicholas watched as Jason sat back, pulling the covers tighter around him. The guy couldn’t be that modest. He had to be hiding something. Nicholas laid his arms on his knees. “Was that really a tiger I saw in the hallway?”
    Again, Jason just nodded. Nicholas didn’t think he would get an answer, but Jason leaned back, turned his head toward the window, and spoke. “Kyoshi and Keata, two of the mates here, were kidnapped by humans. Taken from Japan and brought to America to be used for sex. Some human named Paul helped them hide until the warrior Storm went to get them and bring them here.” Jason paused, and Nicholas watched as a faraway look crossed Jason’s face. “Kyoshi is Storm’s mate. Keata is Cody’s. I wouldn’t have harmed him.”
    “I didn’t think you would have,” Nicholas offered. There was something about Jason that called to the protective side of Nicholas. Although the man was at least a foot taller than him and built like a brick house, he seemed small and vulnerable at the moment.
    “I wouldn’t have. When their mate’s claimed them, the shifter gene kicked in. They shifted into tigers. They didn’t even know they had it in them.” Jason stared out into the night, speaking as if remembering something instead of giving an explanation to Nicholas.
    “What do you mean, claim?” Now that sounded interesting. If sex was involved, he was all for getting a piece of that. Nicholas’s tongue was already tingling at the thought of licking Jason from head to toe.
    Jason clenched his jaw as he shook his head, never once looking at Nicholas. “Nothing.”
    Spoilsport. “Can I move closer?” Nicholas felt a need to be closer, to touch, and to hold the man in his arms. He wondered if it was the mate thing but knew there was more to it than that. Nicholas knew in his heart that Jason was the man he could come home to, to laugh with, and to share his life with. He would make the perfect partner.
    Jason turned his head, studying Nicholas. “Why?”
    Nicholas shrugged. “I don’t like talking across the room.” He watched as Jason looked at the door then back at him, anxiety written all over him.
    “Yeah, come over here,” Jason said, as though an army was going to invade at any moment.
    Jason pulled back as Nicholas walked over, the comforter pulled tighter yet again. He took a seat on the opposite end of the window seat, feeling better now that he was closer. The man had the most stunning brown eyes Nicholas had ever seen. He wasn’t Hollywood stunning like the other men seemed to be in this house, but he had a rugged quality to him that drew Nicholas in and made his cock rock hard.
    “Why are you staring at me?” Jason asked defensively.
    “You have beautiful eyes.” He could feel his face heating up at the confession.
    Nicholas sat there, studying Jason’s face. The man seemed shocked by the compliment. Why? His rugged handsomeness was turning Nicholas on. Surely the guy knew how good he looked? “My name’s Nicholas. I just realized that I hadn’t told you that yet.”
    “I thought you were the physician?”
    Nicholas couldn’t understand how Jason was so…so…what’s the word he was looking for? Lived in a cave? Under a rock? “That’s what I do, not who I am.”
    “I stayed in the estate a lot, didn’t get out much. Forgive me, Nicholas.” Jason smiled tightly, but his eyes showed Nicholas that he was afraid and curious.
    Nicholas pulled
