“Theresa,” she tells me.
“If you have any questions about bear shifters,” I start to say.
“I know where to come.”
Theresa grabs her kids’ hands and starts to walk toward the door, but I stop her, blocking her path.
“Bad idea.”
“What? Why?” She looks scared, and I hold up my hand.
“I’m not interested in hurting you, Theresa. Just listen.”
We listen quietly and I can tell she doesn’t hear it at first.
“Wolves,” she finally says.
“There are more of them. You shouldn’t go back to your campsite tonight.”
Honestly, I want to know who told her camping up here was a good idea, anyway. It’s a well-known fact that there are wolves out here. Anyone who would risk camping is either an idiot or has a suicide wish. I don’t think either of those terms apply to Theresa, but she definitely got some bad advice from somewhere.
“Then what should I do?”
“Stay here.”
It’s an impulsive move, but I don’t really care. She’s hot, I’m hot, and the night is young. Anything could happen, and oh, I want so many things to happen. It’s rotten and I know it, but I want her here. I want to tie her up and tease her and make love to her. I want to play with her and kiss her.
I want all of her.
And more.
Theresa doesn’t think twice.
“Fine,” she says. “And thank you.”
Chapter Four
Theresa
Once the kids are tucked into the guest room bed, I go back to the living room to find Heath sitting at the table. His dog is resting at his feet. Spot. The dog is called Spot. He’s a good dog, too, from what I can tell. He’s good and very brave.
And Heath loves him.
“Thanks for what you did,” I say.
“Anytime.”
“You didn’t have to take them in. It would have been just as easy to let them keep going, you know.”
He looks up at me and his eyes narrow.
“You think I’m the kind of man who just lets little kids go wandering around in the forest? Are you insane?”
“No, I’m not insane,” I snap. “But I’m also living in the real world.”
“What’s that supposed to mean?”
“It means that people don’t just help other people for no good reason.”
