“I’m going to be a pain in the ass to deal with at first,” she admitted, straightening and handing me the bundle of clothes. “I’m a control freak, and I don’t trust easily. Tell me if I’m being a bitch, okay?”
Another laugh escaped me. “I can handle that.”
She grinned. “Perfect. Get dressed, and we’ll get to work.”
“Yes ma’am.” I winked, and she gave me a playful shoulder-bump.
This was going to be the perfect distraction.
SEVEN
KAI
I couldn’t focuson a damn thing.
Usually, it was the opposite. I sat down with my tattoo gun, music playing in the bathroom, and couldn’t be distracted by anything but a phone call about Lucas.
But today, all I could see in my damn mind was that sexy orange hair falling around those gorgeous little tits.
I still did the work.
I wasn’t the kind of asshole who would dare screw up a piece of art that would remain on someone’s skin throughout their life.
But the itch to get out, to find my female, was intense.
My wolf was usually quiet and laid back, but even that bastard was straining a little, telling me lightly that he wasn’t happy.
I didn’t have to ask why.
It wasn’t the horniness that was pissing him off—it was the fact that his mate was in town, and we weren’t at her side.
Most male wolves would hunt longer. Get to know the woman before they were ever separated.
Most female wolves would refuse to leave their mate’s side until they’d determined whether or not they wanted him.
With our mating process uncompleted, and so much space between us, the wolf was frustrated.
Uncertain.
Hell, maybe even a little afraid.
After the first client left, I stepped into the bathroom and splashed some water on my face, letting out a slow breath.
“I’ll talk to her,” I said aloud, speaking to the wolf who could hear through my ears. “When she comes by for lunch. I’ll tell her we need to resolve this—that I need her to bite me. The climax… well, she’d definitely be free of the damn fever after a few days of that. Mom would be thrilled to take Lucas for it.”
My jaw clenched when I remembered the tears that had rolled down my mother’s cheeks when I told her that Iris and I weren’t going to live together. When I told her that I wasn’t interested in a life like that.
She and my dad had been more help than I could ever explain after Elle died, but I just couldn’t risk going through any of that shit again.
I’d needed the release that would come with the sex, when I stopped by to see Iris after that conversation. I’d needed it to calm me.
But she hadn’t been interested… and obviously, we weren’t at the kind of place in our relationship where I could tell her that shit.
Hell, we wouldneverbe in that place in our relationship.
I couldn’t let it get that far between us.
Still, the wolf eased up on me after my words.
