Like a Fox, Ridgeville Book 7 Read Online Free PDF Page A

what’s with the weathermen being wrong all the
time? And is it weatherwoman or weatherlady?” Gavin should have
remembered that Maya tended to babble about nothing before she got
to the point. “And, hey,” the next words were whispered. “I’ll miss
you.”
    “Aw, you know she’s a bitch when she’s sad.
You can’t do that to us.”
    “Seriously.”
    “Not enough ice cream in the world to fix
it.”
    The women all spoke on top of each other, and
he had a hard time figuring out who said what. But, the bottom line
was: the Prima would be upset.
    Gina turned her attention to him, a hint of
tears shining in her eyes and his heart melted. Their move would
tear her from her home, from her friends and family. He could see
the unasked question, recognized her silent begging, and he
relented, willing to do anything to keep her happy. Even invite
half the town to come to Chicago to visit.
    “Okay, no more than four of you at a time,
and the twins count as two regardless of whether the airlines
charge you for their seats or not. Honestly, I should count them as
three since they destroy damn near everything.”
    Maya glared at him for a moment, but he stood
fast. His fox couldn’t stand against a lion when shifted, but
human-shaped Gavin could take the tiny female. Maybe.
    Finally, Maya nodded and stepped forward to
brush a kiss across his cheek. His mate hissed and snapped at the
woman, and then the ladies were gone. All of them tromping back the
way they’d come.
    “Did you see that? It’s just like a fox. He
hypnotized her with all that foxiness.”
    “Carly, do you even know what you’re talking
about?” He could hear the frustration in his sister’s voice.
    There was a slight pause, “Not really,
no.”
    Unwilling to listen to any more of the
women’s banter, he pushed the door closed and leaned against it
while staring at his mate. His gorgeous, beautiful,
too-good-for-him mate.
    “C’mere.” He opened his arms and she stepped
forward, falling into his embrace. “I suppose you’re gonna miss
them.”
    “Yup.”
    “And we’ll end up with more than four at a
time?”
    She nodded, a grin playing on those
freshly-kissed lips. “Probably.”
    Gavin growled and nipped her nose. “Fine. But
right now, I’m gonna drag you back into that room. We can deal with
the rest tomorrow.”
    He slipped past her, snagging her hand as he
brushed by her seductively lush body, and tugged her toward the
bedroom. More importantly, the bed.
    Gina pulled her hand from his grip. He heard
two heavy stomps, and then she was on his back, thighs wrapped
around his waist and hands clutching his shoulders. She nibbled his
earlobe and whispered to him, heated breath fanning his ear. “You
gonna be all foxy? Like a fox with the foxiness?”
    The happiness and pure joy were evident in
her words, and he couldn’t wait to spend the rest of his life mated
to her. “Yeah, baby. Just like that.”
    Forever and ever, like that.
