Page 151 of Knot What I Expected

Rough.

My pulse jumps.

“What do you want?”

His gaze drops to my mouth. Comes back to my eyes.

“You sure you want me to answer that?”

Oh, God.

Heat crawls up my neck. My other scratches at my skin.

I should not be doing this.

I have spent years hiding. Years making careful decisions. Years making sure nobody gets close enough to learn what I am.

And Rowan already knows something is different about me. I saw it in his face when he tried to explain what I am to him.

Omega.

I don’t even understand how that’s possible.

I’m not a Wolf. He knows I’m not human, though. Or at least he suspects it.

And sooner or later, he’s going to start asking questions I can’t answer.

So maybe this is stupid. Actually, there’s no maybe about it. This is spectacularly fucking stupid.

But what’s the harm in one night?

One night with a ridiculously sexy Viking-looking Wolf who seems to want me exactly as I am.

No promises.

No future.

No explanations.

Just Rowan.

Just me.

For once.

I can have that. Can’t I?

My gaze travels over him.

The blond hair. The swirling tattoos disappearing beneath his shirt. The broad shoulders. Those gold eyes that somehow look predatory and vulnerable at the same damn time.

He catches me staring.

“See something you like?”

There’s the asshole.

I roll my eyes.
