Jordan.
Kai.
Dylan.

The wolf licked my face while I was in the middle of speaking. I gagged when his tongue accidentally brushed mine, bending over and dry heaving.
“No kissing,” I croaked at the wolf. “That’s nasty.”
Rocky had the audacity to flash me a wolfy grin, the bastard.

I waited for him to tell me what his style was.
He finally admitted, “I’ve got four freezers full of meals that just need to be thawed or cooked in the crockpot. Good meals; not just grocery store shit.”
My eyebrows shot upward. “Damn.”
He grimaced. “It’s overkill, but the nesting…” he shook his head. “Not really controllable.”
