going
to warm up while I’m here?” she asked as they walked down the hallway.
    “Let’s
hope,” Gabe said and opened at door. “It’s melting already.”
    The inside
of the room took her breath away. A huge four-poster king bed sat in the
center, with a lush red quilt and an overabundance of pillows. The wood was
dark and almost shone in the yellow light. Whoever polished it never missed an
opportunity.
    Her suitcase
rested in the corner of the room, leaning against the great dresser. Another
fireplace stood in the corner, but this one hadn’t been lit. At least they
got the generator working after the lights went out the night before , she
thought.
    “The
bathroom is through there. You’re certain you want to be alone?” Gabe asked and
leaned into her.
    His proximity
sent a rush through her veins, like they were pumping electricity instead of
blood. “Yes,” she said, almost breathless.
    “I’ve waited
so long for this. I thought you’d be happy we wanted you.”
    She
swallowed and the bite on her leg itched. The bite he gave her. Sibyl
didn’t know what to say. It’s not that she wasn’t happy, but something nagged
at her all the same.
    Gabe didn’t
wait for an answer. He grabbed her shoulders and smashed his lips to Sibyl’s. The
kiss sent a wave of heat over her skin, and flooded her pussy with need. She
melted into his touch, though her mind told her not too. This was her boss, and
he was a werewolf!
    She
shouldn’t just give in to him, but no other man kissed her like that –
ever.
    His teeth
caught her bottom lip and pulled. “You taste so good, Sibyl.”
    What was she
supposed to say to that?
    He looked at
her, with his mouth drooped open and flicked his tongue over his lips. “We need
you, darling. I hope you understand that. Our pack is for life, and we’d do
anything for you,” he said and released her. Then he walked out of the room.
    She shut the
door behind him and leaned against it. Life? Did that mean she was stuck with them
forever? Like a marriage without a divorce? Sibyl shook her head. The idea
should freak her out, right? Not send warmth spreading through her stomach and over
her skin.
    She couldn’t
be married to three men! Not legally, anyway.
    And they
needed her? If that was the case, why didn’t they just ask if she wanted to
mate with them, or whatever it was called? Well, they couldn’t really ask
without the whole situation sounding crazy, she realized. If they did ask,
she’d just think they’d lost their minds.
    And she had thought
that the night before. Now she felt like the whole world rearranged itself into
a different order that didn’t make any sense. Only, she didn’t mind it as much
as she thought she would.
    Sibyl sighed
and stepped into the shower.
    The hot
water felt good on her skin, but she still couldn’t relax. It wasn’t just her
room, that much was clear. Any one of them could walk in any moment and catch
her naked. They’d only seen her by firelight before. The bold electric lighting
wasn’t so kind. It’d show off her rolls and cellulite, the body she hid for
years.
    The soap was
a fragrant floral, lavender maybe, and she scrubbed quickly and let the water
rinse her clean. When she got to the bite mark on her leg, she frowned. She was
going to have wolf senses now. And a wolf appetite. Just want she needed.
    The holes
were scabbed over, but lined with red. Wasn’t that a sign of infection or something?
Gabe had licked it clean when she woke up next to the fire, before they claimed
her. What if he gave her some kind of wolf disease? Did she need a rabies shot?
No. That was stupid, but she scrubbed it and frowned.
    When she
stepped out, Sibyl dried off with a fluffy towel and moved toward her bag. She
was picking through it for her clothes when someone moved out of the corner of
her eyes. She spun and noticed Jonathan sitting on the bed.
    He wasn’t
there before, she could swear. Maybe her wolf senses hadn’t kicked in yet.
    Jonathan
