“Now I’ll use my mind the way I command animals.” She closed her eyes and then slowly opened them.
He waited. Nothing. He never got her message. Only a sense of calmness.
Gaby sat on the couch and rubbed her forehead. “You obviously didn’t get my command.”
He cocked his head. Nope. Just standing here, watching your pretty lips pucker. Kissable. Kiss her. A command, he was happy to obey. He moved closer and licked her face.
Gaby laughed. “Stop that.”
He pulled away. Didn’t she command me to kiss her?
She sighed. “Let me try again.” Furrowing her brow, she stared. Not for long. Her gaze lowered. “Even at such a short distance, I still can’t influence you.”
He sat and raised his right paw.
She snorted. “Actually, if you had been influenced, the guards would have broken the door down.”
Enough. He shifted back to human form. “I didn’t feel anything, except I wanted to kiss you.”
Gaby looked down. “That’s not what I commanded.” She wrote something on the tablet. “Dress, while I make some coffee.” She stood and dashed into the kitchen.
What did she ask me to do? “I like mine black.”
“Got it,” she called.
He donned his clothes. “How the fuck do I know I like my coffee black?”
She came in with two mugs and handed him one. “Somewhere in your subconscious mind, you remember drink and food preferences. Knowing you like black coffee, love hamburgers and, apparently, beer is a start.”
He sipped the coffee. The aroma filled his palate. Strong. Just the way he liked it. “It’s only a matter of time before the fog clears.”
“True. In fact, if you write down what foods and things you enjoy, I bet that’ll trigger your memory.”
Kane gazed at her over the rim of his mug. “Besides rich coffee, I also like green-eyed women with silky brown hair.”
“When your memories return, you’ll remember more women.”
He smirked. “Perhaps, but none as pleasing as you.” His inner wolf spoke. She is lovely, but not our kind. What things did the wolf know that the man did not?
Gaby blushed. “Anyway. It looks like my influence didn’t work on your wolf.”
He chose to ignore the wolf’s sudden revelation and asked, “What did you compel me to do?”
“I asked you to howl.”
“Hmm. Never got that message.”
“At first, I thought you didn’t want to draw the attention of the entire compound so then I asked you to lie on your back.”
He chuckled. “A nice belly rub would have felt good.”
“But you didn’t do it.”
“I don’t know what the dogs read when you command them, but nah, didn’t feel a thing.” Except, feeling relaxed in your presence. Because of his attraction to her or, did her wolf charm calm rather than mind control his kind?
“Must be because your mind is completely human.”
Doubt it. His wolf was in command at all times. And of late, acting like his conscious. “I bet because I’m dominant.”
