on her.
    Mason cleared his throat. “We really should go.”
    The lust brightening Aric’s eyes made her nipples ache. She was a slut. And she didn’t even care.
    “Let’s go.”
    Yes, please. Home or bed, it didn’t matter. Hell, she’d let him fuck her behind a tree if Mason didn’t look. She slid into the seat with her mind muddled with erotic images of Aric fucking her again.
    “So what happened?” Mason started the truck.
    Guessing by the time of day it was, she figured they must have been at the bar when she contacted him. The Wolfe family owned different businesses in the area. Aric had his own bar, Wolfe’s Den. At this time of the afternoon, he was usually taking care of business and she’d called him away.
    “Sorry to have interrupted your work.” She ran a hand through her hair. “But I came here to look around for a project I’m doing for Ellie.” She wasn’t sure if she should give the full details so she kept things vague.
    Mason glanced at her and smiled. “Right, the book thing.”
    “Yes. So when I got here, these two white wolves—”
    Aric frowned. “White?”
    “Yes. One was bigger than the other, but they both seemed pretty pissed.” She cocked her head and watched him. “Why do you ask?”
    “We don’t have pure whites in our pack.” Mason explained, his large hands gripping the wheel.
    They drove down the hill until they reached the main road.
    “I forgot my car!”
    “I would too if I were as busy as you two were.” Mason chuckled.
    Aric slapped his brother behind his head. “Now is not the time.”
    “Well, we have to go back for my car,” she huffed.
    “Don’t worry sweetheart, we’ll have one of the guys drop it off at your house.” He twined his fingers with hers and pulled her closer.
    It was weird to be near him and have him show this much affection. She didn’t know what to make of it. For years she’d been somewhat subdued at his little taunts and innuendos. He’d flirted with her a multitude of times, but she’d never openly flirted back. She knew he’d be able to tell she was turned-on, so she’d tried to rein in her hormones. There had been some close calls. A time or two they’d danced together at a family function and she’d become so aroused she was sure he knew, but this was way past flirting.
    After a few moments of being entranced by his finger drawing circles on her palm, she realized they were not headed to her house.
    “Where are we going?”
    His sinful lips split into a wicked grin.
    Oh god, if he continued to smile at her with so much concern, she was going to rip off  her clothes and rape him. Yep. She’d tear off his T-shirt and reveal the sexy tattooed upper body. The same body she’d been brain fucking and mind licking for the past fifteen minutes and would then rape him in the back of his truck. All that while his brother drove.
    “To my parents’ place. It’s probably best to speak to them about what white wolves might be the ones you saw. I didn’t recognize their scent.” He hugged her to his side. The heat of his body wrapped around her like a comforting blanket. She’d swear there was some kind of connection growing between them. Her body urged her closer to him.
    “I don’t think that’s a good idea.” The last thing she wanted was to involve his family in whatever that white wolf had against her.
    “Stop the truck,” Aric ordered.
    Mason pulled over and left the truck.
    She turned to him with surprise. “Where did he go?”
    “He’ll be back shortly. He’s giving us a few minutes.”
    “Why?”
    “I need to explain some things to you.”
    She licked her lips. He lifted a hand to her face, sliding a finger down her cheek. “You’re important to me. Very important.”
    She gasped. “I am?”
    “You are.” His tone brooked no argument.
    “Since when? And if you say last night, I’m going to hurt you. Good sex does not make us a couple.” While it had been really amazing sex, the kind that left her
