“Shock, honestly, please stop living up to your damn name. Who I’m fucking is no one’s business.” I put the tub down and go to stand.
“Stop saying that! My little sister is pure and innocent.” I snort as I grab my keys off the coffee table where I left them last night when I went out with the girls.
“I haven’t been innocent since Blaze took my virginity on prom night.” The room erupts in shouts as I let that information fly.
“WHERE IS HE?” Wolf growls, and I roll my eyes as I leave the clubhouse in chaos.
I hop in my work truck and text Oliver.
Heads up…. The prom night bomb was just dropped.
Shit. You couldn’t at least say good morning first? I’m in the air, ready to drop into a forest fire woman.
Nothing good happened this morning. Be safe, call me when you are home.
I sigh and start the truck.
Blaze being in California is a godsend. He’s been a smokejumper for years. He’d done me a major favor on prom night. I didn’t want to be a virgin in college, and I needed someone I trusted.
It was a perfect first time, but it lacked the passion of being in love. At least, I think it did. There were no epic fireworks, not like when Malachi touched me.
Why was love and hate such a close emotion? How the hell am I supposed to figure out which I was feeling? Maybe a nap would help.
I drive across town to my house and pass out as soon as my head hits the pillow. I have to close the clinic tonight.
I’m already ready for bed tonight.

“Thank you, doc,” I smile at the young girl as she takes her bunny out with her mom’s hand on her shoulder.
I clean up the room and then walk out to the waiting room and frown.
Foxy is sitting in the middle of the area with a basket of roses in front of top her. I glance around but don’t see Malachi. I pick up the basket and pat her head.
“Good girl. You, I like, your owner can suck it.” I open the card, which has one word written on it.
Dinner?
I crumple up the paper in my fist and look around for the owner of this sweet dog. I catch him out the corner of my eye outside the glass windows and sigh.
I walk calmly to the new door he so graciously had fixed for me once and would not let me repay him for. I yank it open and stick my head outside so he can hear me yelling at him.
“I want lobster mac and cheese, then the biggest slice of chocolate cake you can find.” An elderly couple walking by stopped to look at me, screaming at what must seem like air.
“Deary? Are you alright?” Great.
I’m going to get myself landed in a psychic ward all because of a to handsome man with the sweetest dog in history.
“I’m fine, ma’am. Just letting my boyfriend know what he needs to get me for dinner tonight.” I point at the corner of my building, and the woman smiles.
“Oh my, why is he hiding from you.” I smile at her wrinkled expression.
I can tell she was a spitfire when she was younger. Her husband pats her hand softly and answers his wife for me.
“He’s scared of her love.” I snicker at his answer and nod.
“As he should be.” They start walking again, and I watch them go.
