to.
    “Pretty well,” Michael replied, glancing out the door into the living room where Trevor presumably was.
    “What do you want to know?” he asked with a twinkle in his eye and I realized he was a flirt. I smiled back because I couldn’t stop myself. He was a sweet guy.
    “Does he have a woman back home?” I looked down at the blanket, trying to hide my blush.
    I’m acting like a teenager, for God’s sake .
    “No wife, no girlfriend,” Michael said matter-of-factly and I glanced up only to see the twinkle in his eyes shining brighter.
    “So you’ve got a thing for Trevor,” he stated, and I simply nodded my head. There was no use denying the obvious.
    “He’s all right I guess,” Michael continued, “If you’re into nice guys that always do the right thing.” I just looked at him with my eyes half-closed in suspicion and he laughed. “I’m just saying! You could take a walk on the wild side, Meredith. With a guy that has no plans to settle down and dates as many women as possible. Like me,” he said with a wink and I laughed then.
    “It’s a nice offer,” I said with a smile and he feigned clutching his heart as if I’d broken it.
    “Trevor is a great guy,” Michael said, suddenly serious. “He’s my best friend, but more importantly he’s the best man and soldier I know. He cares about you but he’s scared.” My heart thumped at this confirmation that Trevor cared for me, but I couldn’t help hearing the slight warning in Michael’s tone. He didn’t want me to hurt him.
    “I understand, Michael.” I’d been through a lot. Were my feelings real or just a reaction to my ordeal at the hands of my kidnappers? I wasn’t sure. “If you don’t mind, I’m going to lie down for a while.”
    “Sure thing,” Michael said as he picked up the chair and bowl. “Should I leave the light on?”
    “Yes, please,” I said, the thought of being in the dark not something I was ready for yet. He walked out of the room and kept the door open too so that I heard the quiet voices of the men in the living room. My ears honed in on Trevor’s voice, my stomach flip-flopping again as I rolled over slowly, trying to get comfortable.

 
     
    Chapter Seven: Trevor
     
    She had fallen asleep after Mikey came out of the bedroom. I’m glad he stayed with her for a bit because I needed to get the fuck out. When my hand touched her breast accidentally, I got so turned on it shocked the shit out of me. Her body was so hot with all of her curves and soft skin, and I was trying so hard to be a gentleman. Then she looked up at me with those blue eyes and whispered my name and I was almost gone. Almost. Luckily I was able to get a grip on myself and leave before I disrespected her and my job in the Delta Shift.
    Fuck me .
    I never thought I’d be in this position. Saving a woman while on a mission and feeling such a magnetic pull toward her that I almost kissed her! And that magnetic pull was so strong that it almost brought out my wolf. That was some scary shit. When I was shifting in the living room, my wolf thoughts were simple – make her my mate. My mate! I don’t “mate” with women, I have sex with them. I’m a human first, and a werewolf second, or at least I’d thought so. And I could see in my mind’s eye what “mating” meant for my wolf – sinking my teeth into the back of her shoulder. What kind of barbaric shit was that? I’d never once had those thoughts before, and I didn’t understand them.
    It was late now, and the other guys were asleep. I had spoken to General Lockhart again and we had a plan for extraction in 24 hours. A chopper would land nearby and we would be taken to a U.S. Navy ship off the coast of Cyprus. There, Meredith would be taken care of and Delta Shift would be de-briefed. I just needed to make it another 24 hours with Meredith and then we’d be parted, and no matter what I might want as a man or as a wolf wouldn’t be relevant anymore.
    Derek walked in from the
