My last name might be over the archway at the entrance to the ranch, but I wasn’t needed here. I was just the fuck up. I’d proven that again coming back. Audrey wasn’t here to get in my pants. She’d made that clear as fucking day. She was here because she was smart. A doctor. She questioned. She wanted to know the truth.
I couldn’t tell her the truth. It would destroy the pack. While I didn’t feel like I belonged, I’d do nothing to hurt the Wolf pack. Nothing. So while I needed to push Audrey away, to get her back in her little car and on the road back to Cooper Valley, she wasn’t going to go without answers.
Answers I couldn’t give.
There was only one way I could think of to keep from telling her the truth.
Distraction.
It was time to lay on the Wolf charm because one way to make a woman forget that she’d encountered a quick-healing wolf was to make her forget her own name.
I might be a fuck up in some things, but I certainly knew how to do that particular trick. My wolf? He thought that was a mighty fine idea.
I grinned and her blue eyes widened. “Besides, I wanted you all to myself. What brings you here? Couldn’t resist Boyd Wolf, darlin’?”
She frowned. “I came to see to your injuries, just like I said.”
I tucked my forearm against my side, like I was covering the wound. “Nah, I told you, I’m fine.” I inched closer. “I’ll let you in on a little secret.” I was using my best bedroom voice. “I’m not the kinda guy who submits for examinations. In fact—” I let my hands settle lightly on her waist. “I prefer to be the one in charge.” I dropped my head, bringing our foreheads close. “Doing the examining, I mean.”
Her mouth fell open. She quickly shut it, licked her lips. The way her little pink tongue flicked out… fuck. This was supposed to get her distracted, not make my balls tighten and turn blue.
She lifted her hand as if to touch the spot where the horn had pierced but stopped just in time. I took hold of her fingers, pulled them to my chest. She gasped.
I growled, and she whipped her head up to mine at the sound.
“I… um.” She tried to tug her hand free, but I wasn’t letting go.
When she stopped trying to pull away, I loosened my hold but moved her hand over my chest so her fingertips could graze the line of my pectoral muscle. Goosebumps rose, my cock swelled. My wolf howled.
She was watching her fingers, and I couldn’t miss, even in the dim light since I had excellent vision, that her pupils were dilated. That thrum at her neck… it had picked up.
I inhaled deeply, breathing in that peach scent. And more. “You’re sweet everywhere, aren’t you, darlin’?”
Yeah, her pussy was going to be so fucking sweet. Sticky sweet because she was wet. I didn’t have to slip my hand into her panties to know for sure. This close, with only the earthy scents of the barn as a distraction, I couldn’t miss her arousal.
“I… I came to—”
“You haven’t come yet, Audrey,” I murmured, cutting her off. Keeping her hand, I walked forward a step, forcing her to retreat. I turned, so we were facing the opposite direction, then walked her so her back was pressed against the side of the barn. “But you will.”
“Um.”
That was all she said before I lowered my head and kissed her. A gentle brushing, soft, as if to learn the feel of those soft pillows of flesh. I kissed one corner, her mouth open as she began to pant, then the other. I ran my hand down over her hair, silky soft, then gripped the thick strands at the nape of her neck and tugged. Not too hard, but she gasped, and her eyes opened wide. But blurry.
I didn’t say anything, just kissed her again. This time, she knew I was in control. My tongue swept across her lip, then delved deep, finding hers. Her free hand went to my biceps, held on.
She tasted sweet, perfect. Leaning forward, I pressed into her. Her soft tits plumped against my chest, and my dick nestled against her belly. My back bent to reach her, our height difference so great.
I growled, grabbed her hips and lifted her up, then pressed her back into the wall again now that our mouths were lined up. Her dangling legs came up and around, behind me, not long enough to hook her feet together, so her heels hooked against my lower back. Her pussy, fuck… her pussy was pressed right against my length now, and I felt her heat through both of our jeans. My hips jerked into her, and she moaned.
