completely innocent in her actions with him. Still, he took it with good humor. “I’ll see you Monday, Doctor.”
    “And you, Doctor.”
    When her friends left, she went to the pool table, starting playing a game by herself, and waited.

    All good, going home.
    S teel’s text came right at the ten-minute mark and only a couple minutes after Bella had issued her challenge, and damn , why couldn’t there be trouble? Anything to get Iron out of the bar and away from temptation personified.
    He’d known this day would come. Hell, the only surprise was Bella let it go so long. She was a firecracker, in charge of her life, and like hell any man would dictate her timetable. He learned that the Monday after prom, when Billy Marconi was bragging about fucking her afterwards. Before he could beat the shit out of Billy, she marched over to Iron, yelled that if he’d gotten his head out of his ass and asked her to prom he’d have been the one who’d gotten underneath her skirts, but he hadn’t so he needed to quit posturing and shut the hell up.
    Then she turned and kneed Billy in the balls so hard that even Iron winced in sympathy for the guy.
    It was the fucking hottest thing he’d ever seen in his life, until tonight, when she looked at him with those gorgeous chocolate eyes and told him to grow some balls and fuck her.
    He was going to mate with Laura. He hadn’t asked yet, only hinted it being a possibility, but Laura knew he was going to, just as she knew he didn’t love her, and probably knew Bella was his true mate. Laura might be human, but anyone familiar with the pack would know what Iron’s actions around Bella meant, and Laura had grown up knowing about the pack.
    That wouldn’t stop Laura from mating him. She didn’t love him either, but they liked each other well enough, both of them wanting pups, both of them happy with the pack and their place within it.
    They’d be good together, happy in a low-key, content way. No, he wouldn’t be with his true mate, but he’d already saw what happened when a wolf took a true mate who didn’t belong in their world.
    He slammed the door shut on those memories. Not going to happen. He already lived through that shit once. Didn’t need to relive it now.
    Bella stretched, her back a graceful arch and that ass round and begging to be cupped.
    Still time. Still a few weeks before you have to mate Laura. Still a chance to experience Bella, sink into that delicious body that’s haunted you for years…
    Iron didn’t have a devil on his shoulder. He had a whole army crawling over him, whispering in his ear, reminding him of almost twenty years of fantasies that starred the woman in front of him. Begging him not to lose this one chance to taste her, to hold her down and sink into her, to experience her underneath him.
    Which would be worse? Not knowing what she tasted like? Or tasting her and then walking away?
    Sam… The growl issuing from his throat caused two bar patrons to startle on their stools, grab their beers and leave post-haste for a table. Iron closed his eyes, both to shield the glow that was doubtless visible as well as to block the sight of Sam leaning close to Bella, not quite whispering in her ear, but his body language making it clear to anyone looking that this man was very interested in this woman.
    Why the fuck wouldn’t he be? The only men who wouldn’t be interested in Bella would have to be gay or near enough, the ones who only liked those skin-and-bones girls. As for Iron, he fucking howled the first time he saw Bella in a bikini, the only time he lost it around those not pack, and Steel tackled him to stop him from going full wolf and flat-out scenting her in public.
    How the fuck could he be blamed though? Showing that belly without giving a fuck about what anyone thought of the fact it was large and curved, not flat and ridged. Those fucking delicious, large breasts, gorgeously tan and only just covered by red fabric. Then
