table she sat at. Coming behind her, he watched as she sat straighter, ready to bolt if she had to. He smiled. As if she would ever get away from him.
    He was rewarded as she jumped when he leaned down and blew softly against her neck.
    “Back off, wolf-boy,” Laney told him as she leaned forward.
    “Is that your new cute nickname for me, my beta? You do seem to use it a lot.” Heath ran a finger down the column of her throat.
    Goose bumps covered her skin where he touched her. Laney’s breathing picked up and her heart hammered in her chest. Sometimes he really loved having his shifter hearing. He could scent her arousal and it was calling to him in such a primal way it was taking all his self-control not to tip her over the table and plough into her.

Chapter Three
    “Why are you doing this?” Her softly asked question stopped him in his tracks. Closing his eyes against the sight of her inviting skin, he straightened and backed away from her.
    “Why wouldn’t I?”
    Laney finally turned to face him. “Because you clearly didn’t want a repeat of this weekend, otherwise why tell Duke? If we had been in high school you would have had your friend tell me you weren’t interested or had him tell me you were moving to a new town.”
    Heath shook his head as he looked down at her. Was that what she really thought? That he would use her brother to reject her? Didn’t she remember anything they had done that weekend? He’d had free rein of her body and allowed her the same with his. Why would he have done that if he didn’t want her? Did she have such little faith in herself? Well, he would put a stop to that nonsense right now.
    Grabbing hold of the chair he turned her to face him. Leaning forward, he caged her in with his arms, resting his hands on the table behind her. She was forced to lean back until she couldn’t move any farther. He edged closer still, making sure she was looking directly at him.
    “Do you really want to know why I called in on your brother this morning?”
    Laney nodded.
    “How many people do you think saw you dressed like sex on legs on Friday, and how many people do you think saw me kiss you and drag you out of there?”
    He watched as her eyes went wide as the realisation hit her.
    “Exactly. It would have taken no time at all for someone to just ‘happen’ past and mention to either your daddy or brothers what they saw, and can you imagine how they would have reacted?” He didn’t need to imagine. He knew exactly what her brothers and father would have done. Heath knew they would have come looking for him before the day was out. That didn’t scare him; after all, he would do the same to any man who touched his sister, but he also wasn’t stupid. Kicking the crap out of a woman’s family really wasn’t the best way to stay in her life. He knew that she wouldn’t, couldn’t be his forever, but he wanted her for as long as he could have her.
    “I did a little damage control.”
    “I didn’t think of that,” she told him with a groan.
    “Obviously, otherwise you wouldn’t have called me like a stroppy little schoolgirl,” Heath said. Damn it, why did she have to smell so good all the time? All he wanted to do was drop to his knees and bury his face in her neck, between her breasts, and in her lap.
    “I was just a little annoyed. You should have told me what you had done,” Laney responded. She hadn’t taken her gaze off his mouth for the last five minutes. Heath bit back a groan of his own when her little pink tongue came out to wet her lips.
    “I told you before, my beta, I don’t explain myself to anyone.” His voice dropped to a husky growl before he leaned over and crushed his mouth over hers.
    That touch pulled a moan from her that had him fighting his wolf back down. It wanted to pin her to the table and lay claim to her forever and always. Heath pulled away and leaned back. Breathing hard, he watched as Laney raised her hand to her lips.
    “For a wolf-boy you
