life, and his mate, be simple? One
crazy night and his life was in shambles. “I don’t even know where
to start.”
“ How about opening the
damned door? Maybe you could show him around our den, let him see
who and what we are. Then perhaps you can let him go home and allow
him to think about what’s happened to him. It will be a lot easier
if he makes the choice to return on his own.”
“ Let him go? Are you
insane? What if he doesn’t come back?”
“ If he’s truly yours, he
will,” Paul answered calmly.
Hank was anything but calm. He agreed
with everything Paul said, except the letting Remy go home part.
Perhaps he could start with the others. But Remy leaving him wasn’t
an option. No way, no how.

Remy heard the door opening, and he
sat up in the wolf’s bed. Hank strolled in, seemingly more relaxed
than when he’d left. The werewolf carried a tray laden with food
and a familiar looking duffel bag. He dropped both on the mattress
beside Remy.
“ I figured you’d be
hungry,” he said as he awkwardly stepped back from the bed and sat
down in the oversized chair. “And I grabbed some of your clothes
and stuff before we left your place.”
Before I was abducted from
my apartment, you mean? Remy couldn’t
ignore the tiny bit of consideration that the wolf had thought to
grab some of his things before they’d left. “When can I go home?”
Remy asked, his stare pinning the man’s chocolate eyes.
A flash of yellow showed Remy he’d
struck a nerve. That yellow only seemed to appear when Hank was
angry or lusty. Remy felt desire rush through him at the thought of
the powerful lust he’d already witnessed from the male. He bit back
the swamping emotion, trying to steer clear of more sex. Remy
couldn’t think straight when the werewolf went all dom on
him.
“ I want to show you around
our den. Let you meet some of the weres who live here. Eat and you can
use the shower. Once you’re dressed, I can take you
around.”
“ You didn’t answer my
question,” Remy stated.
Hank stood, a sigh coming from deep
within. “We’ll talk later about that. For now, just eat and get
ready.”
Remy watched the man stride from the
room before turning his attention to the food on the tray. Bacon
and eggs with some juice—the scent hit him, and his stomach
grumbled. He hadn’t eaten since lunch the day before, and he hadn’t
felt hungry until now. After eating half the plate, he rose from
the bed and dug into the bag, looking at what the wolf had grabbed
for him. Bodywash, check, clean underwear, check, and clean jeans,
check. Not one shirt or a jacket. Remy shook his head, figuring he
could try to snag one of Hank’s tight fitting t-shirts, which would
more than likely be too big, but would do.
A half hour later, he was clean,
changed, and wearing a stolen shirt, which didn’t hang quite as
badly as expected. When Hank walked in as Remy was throwing his
belongings back into the duffel, he noticed Hank inhale deeply and
a satisfied growl come from him. The sound reverberated through
Remy, making his cock hard as stone. He clenched his teeth, angry
the male had such a profound impact on him, especially considering
their argument that morning.
“ Ready to see the place?”
Hank asked in a deep rumble of syllables.
Fine hairs lifted at the base of
Remy’s neck, need filling him. “Yeah. I’m ready.”
Hank opened the door and gestured for
Remy to walk out. Remy took in the simple, clean living room. It
was practical, but luxurious in a barren sort of a way. The living
room had an arched ceiling, and one whole side of the cabin was
filled with glass, the view behind it breathtaking. Hank walked
past him to the front door, ignoring the splendor surrounding him.
He opened it for Remy and motioned Remy to exit. Blue sky and a
cool breeze whipped through the entrance, sunlight pouring in to
them.
“ Where are we?”
“ Mt. Alexis,” Hank said
lowly.
“ We’re close to the
preserve
