EXCERPT
“Wait,” he commanded, jogging after her. “We’re not done here.
You have some explaining to do.”
“What?” Hands on hips, she turned back and charged him. Taking
her purse, she whipped it violently at his face. Cade grinned,
watching her breasts bounce under the tight little black dress
she wore. The handbag glanced over his shoulder, striking him
hard but not hurting. “Are you psycho? What do you think you’re
doing?”
“Hey, I wasn’t the one having a date,” he said.
“What?” Fiona asked in openmouthed surprise, shaking her head.
She pressed her lips into a harsh line and looked confused. As
if she lacked anything better to do, she hit him again with her
purse, swinging it hard. The bag glanced off his arm, not
hurting him in the least. “Get away from me, psycho.”
“Fiona,” he warned. What was wrong with her? One minute she gets
on the back of his bike like she knows what’s between them, the
next she’s pissed when he proved his dominance as her mate? It
made no sense.
Taking a deep breath, Cade had to remind himself that things
were different in human form than in cat. In the cat world it
was simple.
“I forget. I’m sorry,” he said, doing his best to explain and
calm her at the same time. “Things are not so complex in the
wild.”
“The wild?” she asked, backing away from him.
“Where I’m from,” he rushed, doing his best to remember she
didn’t know about who he was. It was just so hard to concentrate
on his words when his body recognized her scent and wanted to
claim her again and again. His cock pressed against his jeans.
He’d worn looser denim, but it didn’t help. His erection still
hurt with the need to be freed. “Where I come from, it’s not so
complicated. If you are hungry, you eat. If you are tired, you
sleep. If you are threatened, you fight.”
“And just where do you come from?” she demanded.
Cade frowned. “Ah...”
“Yeah?”
“Texas,” he said weakly.
“Texas,” she repeated in disbelief. “Things are less complicated
in Texas?”
“Yes,” he answered, debating on whether or not he should tell
her the whole truth—or perhaps show her. He glanced around the
busy street. A few people had come out of the restaurant and
were watching them with interest. He lowered his voice. “And, if
you love, you mate for all eternity.”
“Okay.” The words sounded forced and she edged away from him.
“I’m not sure how they do things down south, but here you can’t
act like a Neanderthal. We had a nice time. That’s all. I’m
sorry if you thought it meant more than it did, but we didn’t
even talk—“
“Miss, are you all right? Do we need to call the cops?” someone
yelled.
Cade growled, ready to roar at the gathered crowd until they
went away.
“I’m fine,” Fiona said, only to add in a softer tone. “I am
fine, aren’t I? You’re not going to pull anything weird, are
you?”
“I would never hurt you, kitten.” Cade tried to control the
volatile combination of rage and desire running rampant in him.
“Listen, Cade, I know we made love, but that doesn’t mean we’re
an item. It was just sex—really good, hot sex.”
Okay, why did he want to strangle her for saying it like that?
Her tone all condescending and worried. She took another step
back and he tilted his head to the side, watching her. He felt
the shift coming, the animal inside him wanting to take over.
“You’re mine,” he said, knowing that he sounded like a caveman
about to hit her over the head with a club.
“I’m no man’s.”
“What about your father? Weren’t you dating his golden boy in
there? Do you honestly think that a passionless little worm like
that could make you happy? I felt the passion in you. I know
what you like. I know what your body needs.” He lowered his
voice, taking advantage of her stunned hesitance to close the
distance. Reaching for her face, he cupped her cheek. Her skin
was so soft, so sweet. He couldn’t resist as he leaned in to
kiss her. Her eyelids grew heavy as his mouth brushed along
hers. He took it slow, making her bring her mouth to his.
Lightly running his tongue over the seam of her lips, he waited.
To his great surprise, Fiona pulled back. “Stay away from me,
Cade. We are not a couple. I don’t even know you.”
