I gushed, heat coating my thighs. Hell, I could smell myself. Could this get any worse?
“Have you ever been tied up before?” He propped his chin on my pelvic bone and looked up at me like we were just Santa and an elf having a normal conversation, not this fucked-up situation where my body called the shots and responded just the way he wanted.
This wasn’t a form of surrender or anything I might have thought I’d have to mentally deal with tonight. No, this was an interrogation.
“No.” Another easy answer.
“Not even for a demo of something?” He waggled blond eyebrows.
“Nope.”
“Hmmm.” He hummed against my clit and swept his tongue over it a few times until my body was liquid again. “Never tied up, but likes the idea of a threesome. Probably with someone you trust. What did you tick on the form tonight?” He glanced up at me sharply, and a lock of sandy blond hair fell across his bright-blue eyes.
“I don’t remember.” I shook my head and braced, waiting for the oncoming sting.
“You don’t remember?” he scoffed. “Come on, Josie. What did you tick? Which boxes?”
“I— I—” And we were back to stuttering land. “I just crossed the first few that didn’t scare the shit out of me.”
“So, you don’t share my kink then?” The disappointment in his eyes cut me to the bone, ice wreathed in blue flame slicing through my veins better than his claws could ever do.
Something cold and calculating shredded the kind man I’d become accustomed to seeing as he rose and slammed both hands to the bench beside my head. “Why are you in the club tonight, Josie?”
Chapter Five

I glared at her, seething inside and out. How fucking stupid had I been? Not on duty and had a few drinks to boot. It was like I’d given her an open door to come in and homewreck the whole damn place. “What are you?” I snapped in her face, not giving her a chance to answer. “Undercover cop? Lawyer? Reporter?”
Her face whitened further, though it should have been impossible, and I swore.
“I— I— I—”
“Stop fucking stuttering at me and tell me who you are, Josie,” I snarled.
The sweet and sharp tang of her fear boiled my blood and hardened my cock all at once. I gripped the shelf behind her head hard enough to warp the thing out of shape. Better it than her. All tied up like a Christmas turkey I wanted to stuff, except that she wasn’t. Josie was prey, though more than that—there was something not quite right about her. I leaned in closer and inhaled her, then drew back in shock. “You’re only half?”
“Shifter? No, I’m full. Bit broken, though. I can get furry, but not change. I can’t.” She looked up at me shyly. Red stained her cheeks in a deep shadow that tracked down her throat and blazed across the tops of her bare breasts.
I gripped the shelf all the harder and willed myself not to worship the gorgeous little creature before me.
A sly and gorgeous shifter who could bring everything Rafe and Killian had built crashing around us all in a burning torrent. Part of me hoped she was a cop because then it would just be me who burned, though for more than one reason. The idea of taking handcuffs from her and reversing the roles only hardened my resolve—yeah, that’s what I’m going with—towork her out.
One mind shift, and she became a puzzle to solve.
Time to play that game again.
I unhooked stiff fingers from the shelving and trailed them over her breast, along her stomach. My knuckles grazed her navel. “Cop?”
“No.” She shook her head, adamant.
That was good. Good and bad. But she answered me. I dropped my hand lower and stroked her clit lightly, teasing.
She swayed at my touch, her mouth half open. A breath kissed my lips, but there was no sigh on it. Yet.
“Lawyer?”
“No. Don’t have the smarts—ohhh.”
