face as if trying to see beyond her answer. What was wrong? Didn’t he believe her? She hadn’t heard anything. She didn’t think. Now, she wondered if…
    “Remembering?” he asked, breaking her thought pattern.
    She shrugged. “Maybe. I honestly don’t know if I heard anything or not. I’m busy during the day.”
    Busy hoping no one will bother me.
    “Surely you’d be able to tell the difference between the sound of an animal and that of a human.”
    He shifted his legs and Dakota’s eyes were drawn automatically to the fly of his jeans. When he saw where she was looking, one corner of his mouth lifted in a grin. Heat rushed to her face and she slid her gaze away from him. She’d told herself toys were better than human beings, less complicated and more dependable. But if anyone could change her mind it was Jonah Grey.
    Sex on the hoof. That’s all she could think. God, she was in such trouble. If he didn’t leave quickly she might not be responsible for her own actions.
    “Dakota?”
    Swell. Staring again.
    “Sorry.” Mentally she kicked herself. “Lost my place for a minute. Have you been to the site and looked at it?”
    He nodded. “I was hoping I could take a look around your property and see if the beast came this way. Maybe left some tracks.”
    She shrugged. “I don’t think you’ll find anything here. And I don’t usually have strangers hanging around my cabin.”
    “I promise to be quick.
    Are you quick in bed, too?
    Mentally she smacked herself. What the hell was wrong with her, anyway? But she knew. She’d barely met this man yet she wanted him naked in her bed. Had she truly lost her mind? She’d better get him out of here before she did something really stupid.
    She opened her mouth to tell him he had to leave, but instead she heard herself say, “All right. Would you like to come in for a cup of coffee first?”
    If she hadn’t been looking straight at him and seen the silver in his eyes darken to slate she might have thought her invitation didn’t get a reaction from him. But she knew instantly that whatever ridiculous carnal urgings she felt for him, they were reciprocated. She was in big trouble and it was her own fault.
     
    Jonah took off his hat when he unfolded himself from the chair, using it to cover the raging hard-on he’d spiked the minute he’d gotten within two feet of Dakota Furcal. The spear of lust that had thrust itself through him when they nearly collided at the diner had caught him completely by surprise. Oh, sure, he had a highly active sex drive. That came with being a shifter. But he’d never experienced instant desire like this with anyone before. Not since…
    No. He wouldn’t go there today. At this moment he only wanted to focus on the woman standing inches away from him, fiddling with mugs and a coffeepot. She still wore the denim skirt and scoop-necked blouse she had on in town. His hands itched to slide up beneath skirt and caress the satin skin of her thighs, the curve of her ass, the dampness of her cunt.
    Oh, yeah. She’d be damp. Maybe dripping. He’d seen the hunger in her eyes. If possible, his cock hardened even more, pressing painfully against the denim of his jeans. He should probably wait a decent interval of time before making his move, but the room was so charged with sexual awareness he wasn’t sure either of them could wait. His wolf’s sense told him she was ripe for him now .
    For one brief moment Jenna’s face flashed through his mind, a smile tilting up her lips, eyes darkening with passion as he thrust into her. Satisfying his sexual needs since her death had simply been an exercise, like feeding himself or hydrating his body. He had never expected to feel the thread of passion unwinding within himself again. Never expected to sense any kind of connection with another female.
    Jonah moved up behind her and placed his hands on her shoulders, turning her to face him. The heat of her body surged through his hands and washed
