“So why is he after you?” Diesel asked. “Did you steal something from him?” He wished he hadn’t said that; she was looking daggers at him.

“No, I did not steal anything,” she snapped. “I saw him. He’s a construction worker but I didn’t know he was taking contracts to kill people on the side. I saw him rip a man’s throat out in Central Park one night. I knew it was him, God, I’ve seen him transform so many times not to know him. Plus who ever heard of tigers in Central Park!”

“Okay,” Diesel said. “So you came here because you think he’s going to kill you?”

“I don’t think,” she said, “I know!”

“And you think you’ll be safe here?” Diesel asked looking down at her limpid eyes.

“I know you’re a Shifter,” she said tracing a scar that ran the length of his torso, “I know you’ll keep me safe.”

Diesel didn’t know what to say but he was saved from that inadequacy by her full lips kissing his.

Chapter Six

Offensive Measures

Sonya stretched lazily in the warm sheets. Her feet stretched wide but the bed was empty. She opened her eyes but Diesel was nowhere to be found. She wrapped a sheet around her and walked out in search of him. He wasn’t in the kitchen, he wasn’t in the study or the living room but the back door was open and she stepped out on the tickling grass to find Diesel setting up the cans of Red Bull she’d left in her car on a low fence about a hundred yards away from the house.

“Morning!” Sonya called and Diesel lifted a hand in greeting. Sonya walked closer, her feet wet from the dew. “What are you doing?” she asked.

“Setting up targets for you to practice with,” he said looking up at her and squinting because the sun was in his eyes. “Do you know how to shoot?”

“Nope,” she said.

“Yeah, I didn’t think so,” he got up and came to stand next to her. He was wearing sweatpants and nothing else, his muscles rippling with every move he made. “We’ll practice after breakfast.”

“Don’t you have a job?” Sonya asked wrinkling her nose in a teasing manner.

“I do,” he said grinning down at her. “It’s to protect and serve. I’m the Sheriff.”

“Woah,” Sonya laughed. “I sure picked the right man to sleep with!”

“It’s a cushy job, I have one deputy and we usually swing by the office around noon. Nothing ever happens in Shifter Grove,” he said blushing. “At least not in the day time but they wanted me to have it because of my experience in the Navy.”

“Stop,” Sonya said laughing harder. “Oh, this is too good to be true! I feel like I just won the lottery!”

“I’m also a Werepanther,” he said giving her a sly grin and she clutched her stomach to stop laughing, the sheet slipping from her breasts but she didn’t care; who was around to see her? “And I love your breasts,” Diesel said taking Sonya by the waist and pulling her up against him. He kissed her hard and she kissed him back. She felt ridiculously attracted to him.

He made love to her under the open sky and Sonya had never felt more alive. She knew nobody was around for miles but she felt an intense thrill just the same. ‘God, I want to be fucked like this always!’ she thought her hips rocking to meet his thrusts, taking him deeper inside her.

Sonya didn’t bother putting clothes on and neither did Diesel. They had breakfast sitting on the kitchen floor, feeding each other, eating off each other and finally succumbing to the undeniable attraction and making love on the kitchen floor. Sonya felt like a horny teenager, she couldn’t keep her hands off of Diesel.

It took her a few shots but she soon mastered the gun he gave her. It veered a little to the left and she could feel the kickback deep in her shoulder but after six shots she shot a can off the fence and she was delighted.

“I think you’re nearly ready to take on any man,” Diesel said taking the gun from her after she’d fired of a few more cans. “There’s a shooting range in Waterville. I’ll take you there tomorrow so you can get some real practice.”
