With a final kiss on my brow, he broke free and picked up my clothes, handing them to me. “The bathroom is across the hallway. Let me make you a cup oftea.”
With the clothes bunched up in my arms, I nodded, even though Nero had already turned toward the fireplace. So I spun and hurried over the cold floorboards. A quick look showed no sign of the wolf. I sprinted into the bathroom. The room had a real toilet with plumbing. Holy moly… they liked their creature comforts. In haste, I cleaned myself, got dressed, and stopped at the door, gripping thehandle.
“Okay, what now?” I mumbled to myself, still floating on the heated excitement from having the most stupendous sex with a wolf shifter. And I wasn’t ready to walk away from him. Sure, I was still stuck in the house until I cured Dagen, and the dark wolf looked ready to bite my head off, but Nero was doing something to me and I ached formore.
Going home was a must, yet a tightness strangled my chest at the thought of walking away from Nero. But what was I supposed to do? How would something between us work? We’d cross the border to go out on dates? He was an alpha, and who knew where his jurisdiction lay. Miles away perhaps, as he’d said Oryn controlled the territory next toTerra.
Despite all the craziness in my head, the solution was to grill Nero, find out everything, then make a decision. Even convince him that I had to go home for herbs to heal Dagen. Maybe he ought to join me. But going back wasn’t safe for me with the priestess on the prowl, let along taking a wolf shifter into Terra. Heaviness settled in my stomach at how complicated everything wasgetting.
Since arriving, he’d fed me and brought me to two orgasms. Heavens, I wasn’t his prisoner. What were wedoing?
Squaring my shoulders, I opened the door and marched into the kitchen, ready to follow through with my plan. But what I found was the door across the room wide open and sunshine pouring in. The woods spread outward. Greenery in bloom, sun glistening off theleaves.
Freedom.
Nero wasn’t anywhere in sight. Was he outdoors? I sprinted through the kitchen and burst outside, but the moment I rounded the corner of the wooden cabin, I came face to face with the black wolf—Oryn. The hair on his nape fuzzed and he unleashed a gravellysnarl.
A yelp fell from my throat, and I retreated, hitting the wall with my back, terror biting into my flesh, insisting this was where I’ddie.
