She nibbledon her lip and glanced up to see Val looking at her. “I don’t know what you’re talking about.”
Val looked at her.
Amelia didn’t know what to do.
“Be careful,” Val said. “Wolfe is … he … just be careful.”
“I will.” She nodded.
He took the mop from her. “You work too hard. Take tomorrow off.”
“It’sthe Friday before the full moon.”
“I know, and I’ve told you to take the day off. I’m not going to be this nice often. Take it while you can.”
She smiled and stepped toward the door.
Her bag and jacket were already near the door. Val had put them there earlier. She stopped and turned back to Val, hugging him. “Thank you.”
He was the first person to show any real care and concern about her and her safety. It was nice.
She stepped out of the bar to find Boyan already waiting.
Amelia tried to keep a distance between them so he wouldn’t smell anything he shouldn’t.
This could get anymore embarrassing for her.
Nibblingon her lip, she kept glancing toward him, but Boyan was looking around the perimeter, watching, on high alert.
“I saw this guy through the day,” Amelia said.
“Could have simply been doing recon,” he said. “I’m not willing to risk it.”
They got to her apartment building, and she keyed in the code, openingthe door.
Boyan didn’t move. “I leave you here tonight.”
“Oh, are you sure?”
“Yes, goodnight. Close and lock the door.”
He took a step back, but he didn’t leave.
Amelia didn’t know what was going on, but she closed and locked her door, making her way upstairs to her apartment.
At first, living away from the pack had upset her.
They didn’t want her, but she wanted them. They were her family. She was that weird family member that no one truly wanted but always seemed to stick around. That was her. After stepping into her apartment, she flicked the lock into place, hung up her bag and jacket, and kicked off her sneakers.
She rarely wore heels as they hurt her feet.
Pulling out the clip that bound her hair, she stepped into the main room, only to gasp when she caught sight ofWolfe.
He was naked. His hand wrapped around his cock.
“Take your clothes off.”
Her heart started to thud against her chest. Arousal hit her.
