He tilts his head to the side. "I don't think she's the one who's jealous. What did you think we were going to be doing up here, Kylie?"I shiver when he says my name."Did you think we're going to sleep together?""No." My lie isn't very convincing. I should know. I was trained to lie. "Not at all."His gaze drops to my breast, and he raises his eyebrows, as if making a point. His eyes are light blue again almost silver. Mémé's change like that. Sometimes they look chocolate brown, like mine, other times they are golden. I look down my freakin nipples are standing out so far they show through my bra and T-shirt. Damn.I cross my arms over my chest to hide them. "Look we're both adults. You invited me up here. Show me what you're going to show me, and I'll tell you what I think.""You think you're ready?"I saunter to his desk and plant my hands on it, leaning in. "King, I've been ready for you my entire life." For a moment, King regards me. He pivots, squiring off to face me. He se

I lift my muzzle and trot off, knowing Sam will follow. Tonight we'll run and hunt just like we did in the mountains of California, where I found Sam starving and half mad, his human side almost lost. He seems to know what I cannot explain. Tonight, I'm tge one who needs rescuing. ~•~•~•~ KYLIE POV:It's been three days, and I haven't seen once Jackson King. Not since he threw me out of his office.

He wanted me to close the door and mark her with my scent so the likes of Stu will stay away, but he's satisfied that we got to see her at all.I shouldn't risk getting near her, but I can't help it. At least I proved to myself I can be in the same room without jumping her. I love that she's not afraid to tease me. You're Clark Kent. If she only knew. I skip the Elevator, take the stairs two at a time. My secretary gives me a bewildered look as I pass. I realize the strange feeling on my face is a smile. "Mr. King?" I turn, and my secretary's perfume hits. The downside of having a sharp nose."Yes, Vanessa?" "You have a call from Garrett. No last name. I wouldn't bother you, but you said to put him through--""I'll take it." Ever since Kylie sparred with her, my secretary's been subdued. I still get rock hard when I think of the encounter. If Kylie was a shif

"Besides, with birth rates among so low, it's good for the pack if the most dominant of us settle down have pups as soon as possible." He sounds like his father. "Why put it off?" I scoff. "Says the chronic bachelor. What, did your mother call asking for grands pups, and you decided to pass the advice onto me?"Any other Alpha might bristle and take offense at my job but not Garrett. "You caught me." I hear his grin, and it goes a good way to mollifying my wolf, who's annoyed at having this conversation in the first place. "I figure if she has your wedding to coo over in the shifters society gossip pages, she'll leave me alone.""I'm onto you now. I'll think about it next moon. Sam should definitely get a girlfriend.""All right." Garrett laughed. "We'll look for you. See you around King.""One more thing Garrett." I drop all joviality. With my wolf's newfound attraction to a human, I'm suddenly not so certain about my own stability. "If I do ever go moon mad, promise me you'll protec

BUT I can't do it and stay. If I give in to these guys, I'll be their bitch forever. Next they'll ask me to hack into the credit card vault. Then somewhere else. I can't do that I have to disappear. Like I've done a million times before. I stomp to the bedroom, grab a suitcase from the closet, and fling it onto the bed. Without thought, my hands move packing the necessities. Black clothes, one pair of each thing. A simple bag of toiletries. Running again. It doesn't matter how hard I try to outrun Catgirl and my parent's legacy, the past always catches up with me.But what about Mémé?

"I had to talk to you," she croaked.Anyone else, I'd grill right there, while they lie on their back in the dirt at my feet. But not Kylie. That new, strange pricky heat takes over and screams at me to protect her from Sam, from the rain, from the rock from myself.I pluck her from the ground and set her feet, forgetting to pretend she's heavy. Her eyes roll, unfocused as if the movement pains her head. "Ugh. Wow."I reach around and cup the back of her head, finger questing until I find the growing goose egg. She flinches when I touch it."You're hurt." I turn and glare at Sam, who ducks his head. She eyes my housemate too, "Good thing you were around, or I think Cujo would've eaten me. Is that even a dog?""He's part wolf.""Part wolf, part what? Gargoyle?"I suppress a smile. I love that she pulls out the worry despite her injury. But then, it's her fault defense mechanism, as I learned in the Elevator. I study her. I ough to call the cops, or somehow scare her into respecting m

The only person who ever hacked my code.No wonder she was nervous about interviewing at SeCure.

The one breach in security, that haunted mefor the past eight years just blew up in my face.Again. I snatch the manila folder from her hands and dump the contents onto the bathroom counter."I'm sorry." Her voice sounds small.
