All Chapters of Night Wolves: Chapter 1 - Chapter 10

"Kalyssa, Mr. Frakes is here with Penelope in Room 2," Maria said over her shoulder as I walked by. She had been the best receptionist that I had ever had. A receptionist at an animal clinic needs to be on her toes, scheduling appointments so they don't overlap, and able to keep things moving. And then there's a matter of scheduling the boarded animals, but that was Macy's department. She prided herself in running a clean ship—and clinic—while keeping things moving, including me. "Thanks, Maria." I looked at Penelope's clipboard as I passed. She was a Miniature Schnauzer, seven years old, and cute as a button. Her owner, Frank, had been badgering me to go out with him ever since he discovered that I was single. Frank Frakes. Who names a child that? Anyway, he's cute, but just not my type.But then again, not many men were. I had never wanted to "play for the other team", so to speak, and men weren't the issue. It was humans in general that I never felt comfortable with. I was never su

"Yyyyeeeooooww!" I screamed, practically jumping out of my skin as my heart pounded against my ribcage.He was sprawled out across the futon from end to end, his feet dangling off the side. As startled as I was, I couldn't help but notice that his sculpted back muscles and legs were those of Adonis, and he had a mop of scruffy, light brown wavy hair that suited him well."Holy crap!" I yelled, trying to remember the self-defense classes I had taken in college. I quickly ran into the kitchen and grabbed a butcher knife just in case. Hey, just because he looked like a Greek god didn't mean that he wouldn't kill me... or worse.Tiptoeing into the living room, I looked around for the wolf, hoping that this guy hadn't released it back into the wild before it had completely healed. In the condition it was in last night, it wouldn't last a day on its own. "Morning." He sat up and gave me an impish grin. The only thing covering him was the quilt, casually draped across his lap, strategically

When I came out of the bedroom, dressed and ready to go, Cruz gasped as he let out a low whistle. "Wow! You clean up pretty good."I smirked. "Thanks. So do you.""Ready?" He raised an eyebrow. "As ready as I'll ever be." I started to grab my little black clutch purse, but Cruz stopped me. "You won't need that," he replied. "It'd probably be something more to keep up with at the bonfire. I want you to just relax and enjoy yourself tonight when we get there.""Okay." I was wearing my Smartwatch so I had cell phone access, just in case I needed it. I had a feeling that Cruz wasn't telling me everything, but I had decided that tonight was my night to do something wild, and I wasn't about to back down now. Besides, how much trouble could you get in to at a bonfire?He offered me his hand, and when we walked outside a new sports car was parked in the driveway. "Wow! Nice car." I smiled, taking it in as I headed to the passenger side. Cruz followed me around the car and opened the door f

Xander fell asleep, and I was nearly asleep, too, when Elias took my hand and motioned with his head for me to come with him. My legs were like jelly when I stood, but he caught me, keeping me from falling. Soon, I found my sea legs and let him lead me from the room."Where are we going?" I asked, my voice low. "I want to take care of you," Elias said, his voice soft. "Please, let me." He led me into the bathroom and one whole wall was the shower. He stood me by the far wall while he fired up the jets. Once they were warm, he took my hand and led me into the walk-in shower.The warm water felt heavenly as it rushed over my body, loosening my stiff muscles. Then he ran shampoo through my hair and gently washed, slow, sensual. Satisfied, he pulled me into the stream of water and rinsed my hair.Then he ran conditioner through my hair as the scent of coconuts wafted toward me. "You keep conditioner here?" I smirked. Elias shrugged. "What can I say? Xander's a diva."I burst out laughin

We spent the rest of the evening laying around, sleeping, and making love in the most erotic weekend I'd ever had. Then Monday came around and it was time to go back to reality. "Morning, sunshine," Xander said, rolling over on me, careful to spare me of his full weight. "Morning." I wrapped my arms around his neck and gave him a long, lingering kiss. "I have to get ready for work."A mischievous smile played on his lips. "Now that's not a good wakeup call." He kissed down my neck and started rocking his hips against my center."Xander, I have to go to work." I started to get out of bed, but Elias stopped me, pulling me to his chest like a life-sized doll."Don't go just yet," he cooed in my ear. "Please?"I scoffed. "What is it with you two? Don't you have to go to work?" I teased. Elias chuckled, wagging his eyebrows as his lips curled into a sexy smile. "Yes, of course. But that doesn't mean we can't have a quickie."I laughed. "With you two, it's never quick."Xander propped him
