NINE
When my wolf’seyes opened, she got up and nudged the male beside her. He woke up quickly, licking at her muzzle before standing up too.
They trotted back to the house together, in peaceful companionship. I was getting pretty damn tired of being trapped inside the wolf, but the way she saw the forest was so unique that my annoyance vanished as she moved through the trees.
When they reached Zed’s house, the wolves stopped, and mine nudged his. He licked at her muzzle a bit more before rubbing his side against hers, and then stepping back.
My wolf watched closely while Zed’s transformed back to a gorgeous, dirt-coated man. He rolled over to sit on his ass after he’d finished changing, and my wolf licked his face.
“Not ready to bite me yet?” he asked her, scratching her behind the ears. His voice was gravelly, but his expression was calm. “That’s alright. I’m patient.”
She licked his cheek a few more times, before dropping her mouth to his shoulder, and biting down hard.
Zed made a noise of surprise, his arms wrapping gently around her as she removed her teeth from his skin, and licked the injury with a whine.
“No, don’t feel bad,” he told her, his voice a bit shallow. “That’s exactly what I hoped you’d do.”
She licked his cheek again, before throwing control of us back at me.
I would’ve jumped a bit, if I’d had a physical body to jump away with. Instead, I grabbed onto the control she threw my way, and held on tight.
The pain of the change ravaged me for a moment, but when it finished, I found myself on Zed’s lap, gasping for air.
“Shit, that hurts,” I moaned at him.
“Mmhm.” His voice was weird.
I rolled off his lap, and in the process, ran my thigh over his erection.
Shit.
My gaze lifted to his face, and found his jaw clenched, his muscles tensed.
Was he… horny?
Or angry at me?
My past experience with men screamed at me to run, either way.
“Lock yourself in the bathroom or your bedroom,” he told me, not unclenching his jaw.
I felt the warmth begin to bloom within my lower belly, and scrambled to my feet.
Horny, I guess.
The climax was definitely kicking in fast.
But that didn’t mean Zed wasn’t angry, too.
And shit, I did not want to know how much damage a guy as big as he was could do to me if he was mad.
“I’ll try to stay in my room,” he told me, teeth still clenched. “And I’ll knock when I leave food outside for you.”
He was planning for the future while he felt that horny?
What the hell was wrong with him?
Heat throbbed through my body, nearly ripping the breath away from me.
