let me pet him last night.”
    “Sounds as if you had a good experience.”
    “Yeah. Are all the wolves in that pack so tame? I was surprised he
wasn’t scared of the fire.”
    “They are.”
    “How come? That’s not normal behavior for a wild animal. Have you
and your family taught them to be like that?”
    “Not really. That’s just the way they act.”
    “Hopefully I’ll be able to work that out as I observe them. After
breakfast, I’m going to see if I can find their den.”
    She’d be looking in vain for that. Most wolf shifters had made the
switch from dens to houses long ago. They even registered the births of their
cubs as human so they’d be able to get identification and to hold jobs like
anyone else.
    “I wouldn’t be able to tell you where to start,” he said as he shut
the door. “What would you like to eat? I have eggs, bacon and juice.”
    “Do you have any bagels?”
    “Nope. I only have whole wheat bread. My mom makes loaves for the
family every couple days.”
    “I love homemade bread. I’ll have everything you mentioned and a two
slices of the bread.”
    He smiled. “Hungry, are you?”
    Tori returned his smile. “A bit. I’m going to fill up since I don’t
plan to come back for lunch.”
    Memphis nodded toward the clothes and toiletry bag Tori held. “Why
don’t you take a shower and I’ll set to work making us breakfast.”
    “Okay.”
    “The bathroom is the door on the left.” He pointed to the opposite
side of the cabin. “My bedroom is the one on the right, if you want to use it
to dress once you’re done.”
    “On second thought, why don’t you join me in the shower and then we
can both make breakfast after that.”
    “You do realize if I shower with you, we’ll be doing more than washing
in there. You can’t be naked around me and not expect me to make love to you.”
    “I wouldn’t have it any other way.”
    Memphis leaned down and kissed her thoroughly. “Then I suggest you
put your things in my room while I get us a couple towels.”
    “I’ll meet you in the bathroom.”
    He turned and headed for the bathroom as Tori went into his bedroom.
Memphis opened the cabinet under the sink and took out two bath towels. He’d
just set them on the counter when he caught sight of her out of the corner of
his eye. He turned and almost swallowed his tongue.
    Tori stood inside the doorway without a stitch of clothing on. He
ran his gaze down the length of her body. She was curvy and slim. He remembered
how well she fit against him. He didn’t have to look down to know his cock was
fully erect and tented the front of his pajama bottoms.
    She stepped closer. “I think you need a little help with these.”
    She untied the drawstring on his bottoms, then pushed the material
down past his hips so it fell to pool around his ankles. He stepped out of them
and kicked them out of the way. He would have pulled her into his arms, but she
put a hand on his chest and shook her head.
    “Not yet,” she said. “I didn’t get to do much exploring last night
or see all of you very well in the dim light. I plan to make up for that now.”
Tori ran her hand up his pecs to his neck to his mate brand. “I have to say I
find tattoos on a man really sexy. I can’t help but love yours since it has
wolves.”
    “I’m glad you like it,” he replied, his voice husky and low.
    Tori went on tiptoes and took his lips in a kiss so erotic his cock
throbbed in time with his rapid heartbeat. She left his mouth and gently nipped
his chin before she licked the hollow of his throat. Memphis forced himself to
keep still to see what she’d do next.
    She placed her hands on his hips as she made a trail of kisses down
the center of his chest, lowering herself as she went. Tori didn’t stop until
she was on her knees with his cock level with her face. Memphis couldn’t tear
his gaze off her. The sight of her looking at his erection as she licked her lips
just about undid him.
    Tori fisted his shaft
