the main entrance. She couldn’t help but focus on the private area and where she had left Sierra and her family.
    Sierra’s future brother-in-law Paul remained on her mind. She wondered if wolves shared the same terminology with family dynamics. Was he her future brother-in-law, or was he just a wolf?
    Something told her Valco and his brother were of some kind of authority. Even Jacob was more reserved around them, and he was head of a large pack. She remembered Sierra called them alpha males.
    Despite the instant fear she had felt toward Paul, she also had an overwhelming urge to stay close. It was as if he had a connection to her in some way. Either that or it was her mind’s creative way of telling her she was hot for a werewolf. That had been something she avoided all these years. No connections, no emotions, no loss when she had to flee. Go figure. Now a wolf could be her demise and the end of her living in New York.
    Just then Paul emerged from the private room area. She immediately took the opportunity to check him out. He was magnificent, a giant compared to her, and that alone should have fended off her hormones. Instead it turned her on. She felt the heat move through her body as she absorbed his features. He had dark black, not quite shoulder-length hair and dark brown eyes that had glowed yellow earlier as he became angry with her presence. That put a halt to her attraction for a second. But only a second, because as she roamed over his body with her eyes, starting from his designer black Were She Belongs

    dress pants to his button-down burgundy shirt, over his massive chest, to his firm chin, then his mouth, she locked gazes with his eyes.
    “Oh shit!” The words escaped in a whisper as she quickly looked away, pretending to be scanning the room and not the hunk. At a nudge to her shoulder, she turned toward Andy.
    “What the fuck, Lex? Focus on the job, not some fucking guy.”
    “Shut up, Andy,” she stated with annoyance. She was technically in charge despite the fact that Andy had worked at VALERIE’S

    A small disturbance to the right caused them both to redirect their attention.
    Lexi moved first to resolve the potential fight. Andy was on her heels, and she tried to speak with the two men who argued over a cute blonde as more people moved in to observe.
    The next thing she knew, Andy had his hands on her hips and his body wedged against her back. He spoke over her shoulder to the men.
    “Gentlemen, let’s take this conversation down a few notches, please, or I’ll have to ask you to leave.”
    “Who the fuck are you?” one guy challenged, instantly puffing out his chest.
    Lexi tried to step forward, but Andy moved around her, trailing his hand along her waist. What was up with that? She heard a growl, then two other growls, as two other men approached and moved Andy away from her. Preoccupied with the first two men starting the fight, she attempted to calm them down.
    “Listen, fellas, there’s no need to start arguing. Let me buy the two of you a drink on the house.”
    They eyed her funnily at first, and one guy looked like he was going to try to touch her or flirt with her, but suddenly his eyes moved over her shoulder and then went wide. She was shocked when he bowed his head and slowly backward-stepped out of there. The other guy did the same.

    The whole crowd dispersed, leaving Lexi there dumbfounded.
    Lexi was all confused. She didn’t know what was happening, and as she turned to look behind her, she saw Paul. He was standing behind her, and she had to tilt her head back to look up at his face.
    Intimidation apparently worked on the two men, and one look at Paul and she was feeling pretty darn intimidated herself. His arms were crossed in front of that massive chest of his, and he looked like some kind of bouncer or bodyguard. The thought turned her on, and she felt warmth between her legs. Lexi watched him sniff the air as if he smelled her
