The Wolf Who Hatched an Egg by Scarlet Hyacinth Read Free Book Online Page B

Liam and Brody standing in the doorway, their eyes fixed on him. How long had they been there?
    As if to make things worse, Angel’s head popped up from the house. “Daddy, what’s used goods?” he asked.
    A vein twitched in Brody’s forehead. “Nothing, little man. Go back inside and stay with Clark.”

    Guilt flowed through Shiloh. He opened his mouth to apologize to his friends, but nothing came out. What could he do to explain or make things better? He’d just known that he would bring his drama here, especially with Liam present. Fuck, fuck, fuck.
    “I’ll go pack,” he finally said, marveling that his voice came out steady.
    Alas, to reach his room, he’d have to go through the door currently barred by a wolf wall of muscle. He considered shifting into his swan form and flying to the second floor, but he didn’t get the chance. Liam shot forward, grabbed his hand, and pulled him away from the house.
    Shiloh’s mind whirled as Liam forced him through the greenery.
    What did the wolf intend? Clearly, Liam was pissed off about what Shiloh had said. Would he point out how much Shiloh disgusted him?
    Perhaps Liam hadn’t even known about Shiloh’s past until he’d stupidly shouted it to the four winds. Then again, Shiloh had given Liam a blow job within moments of their first meeting, and then pointed out it was just sex. If that didn’t spell out slut in neon-like letters, Shiloh didn’t know what did.
    Much to his surprise, Liam shoved him onto the ground and jumped on him. His breath was hot on Shiloh’s face as he whispered,
    “Don’t you ever say shit like that, baby. It hurts you, me, and our friends.”
    Shiloh trembled at the other man’s proximity. “Do you have any idea how many men I’ve been with in the past?” Truth be told, Shiloh himself had lost count.
    “I don’t care,” Liam answered. “I knew you slept around before I came here, but that doesn’t matter to me.”
    For some reason, the comment bothered Shiloh. So the wolf had chosen an open relationship with him. For all his pretty words, he only wanted Shiloh as a fuck toy, and nothing more. “So it doesn’t bother you that I’m such a slut? You’d just happily fuck me even if I slept with others at the same time?”

    He struggled to release himself from Liam’s grip, but the wolf was far stronger than him. Liam growled at him. “Make no mistake, baby, starting now, no one else touches you. Just me.” He held Shiloh’s arms captive with one powerful hand, the other traveling under his shirt to caress his skin. “The past is the past. It’s a part of you, sure, but it’s your future I want.”
    Shiloh could feel the honesty shining from the other man like the rays of the sun. He closed his eyes, fighting against the tears that threatened to fall. He couldn’t bring himself to resist any longer. In one single day, Liam was tearing apart all the walls Shiloh had erected, all the certainties and the doubts.
    “I know you can’t make any promises now,” Liam continued, “but if we just try, if we get to know each other a little better, I’m sure things will work out.”
    “Okay,” Shiloh murmured.
    “Please don’t say no,” Liam continued, completely missing Shiloh’s reply. “We’re perfect for each other, I just—”
    “I said okay,” Shiloh said a bit louder, smiling now. Liam’s rant was actually quite encouraging.
    Liam stopped and gave him a wide-eyed look. “Really?”
    “Yes, really.” Shiloh smirked. “What? Did you want to hear another reply?”
    Liam didn’t say anything. Instead, he just crushed his lips to Shiloh’s, stealing the very breath out of his lungs. Shiloh wrapped his arms around his lover, pulling him closer. God, why had he resisted this again? He couldn’t remember.
    Liam’s tongue delved deep into his mouth, exploring, claiming.
    Shiloh surrendered to the passion, letting it flow over him like a wave.
    His
