“But deserved.”
She was probably right.
I was just…
Tired.
Drained.
“I‘ll make you some popcorn, and we can watch a movie while we wait for your furry man to realize he fucked up and come back here,” she offered.
I lifted an eyebrow toward her. “You’re going to make popcorn?”
Iris nodded. “I should’ve informed you, but I have gotten incredibly skilled at standing for short periods of time.”
A snort escaped me. “Your mate is going to be so screwed when he meets you.”
She flashed me a grin. “And so furry, if I’m lucky.”
I laughed. “I never would’ve expected you to hope for a werewolf.”
“Me neither,” she agreed. “Butdamn, they are sexy.”
Before Iris even managed to get up and start on the popcorn, I heard the front doorknob being turned. It was locked, of course, so the attempted-intruder knocked harshly.
“Let me in before I break our damn door down, Mo,” Axel growled outside the door. His voice was barely audible, but the threat was undeniable.
And he definitely had the guns to back up the threat.
“Mo?” Iris asked, shooting me an amused look.
My face reddened. “I tried to talk him out of it.”
“It’s cute. I’d leave you two alone, but I don’t think I can walk right now.” She made a face.
“I’ll help you back to your house,” I told her, standing and crossing the room.
Axel banged again, harder, just before I reached the door. “You have five seconds, woman.”
I undid the lock and yanked it open, trying hard not to suck in a breath when I found myself face-to-face with six and a half feet of pure muscle.
And sex appeal; can’t forget about the sex appeal.
Yeah, I totally sucked in a breath.
He was completely naked, and utterly furious.
“You don’t get to fucking run away from me, Mo. That’s not how this works. If I piss you off, you yell at me, I apologize with every fucking tool I possess, and we fix things. I don’t care how angry you are, or how badly I screwed up—you don’t fucking run.”
“So if you cheat on me, I’m what? Supposed to stand there and wait for you to deem me worthy of an apology?” I shot back, unable to resist fighting with him.
He stepped inside and slammed the door hard behind him, then spun me around. He stepped up so close to me that I had to spread my arms out so my bare skin wouldn’t touch his. His abdomen was against mine, my tank top only just barely covering me enough to stop my fire from kicking in and burning him.
“I’d sooner cut off my own dick than hurt you like that, Morgan. Werewolves may be shitty at a lot of things, but loyalty isn’t one of them.” His voice was a low growl. “But if you ever thought I was cheating on you, yes, I would expect you to stand there and wait for me to explain. Because there would sure as hell be an explanation.”
“When you walk into the bar tomorrow and see me talking to some guy while I make his drink, are you going to stand there and wait for an explanation?” I countered.
His jaw clenched.
