“It wasn’t a request. Text me when his shift starts, or I’ll get the info from one of your coworkers. Something tells me one of them will be thrilled enough at the sight of me to tell me what I want to know.”
I scowled.
But of course, one of them pulled into the parking lot just then.
“Fine. I’ll check the schedule and let you know.” I bit out the words.
They satisfied him anyway.
“Holy shit,” my coworker said, from behind Madd.
My wolf surged to the surface, and my face twisted in a snarl.
Madd had me turned around, with my back to his chest and his hands on my hips a heartbeat later. The beat after that, he’d stepped outside, taking me with him. The physical contact of his body pressed to mine calmed my wolf so rapidly, my expression fell back to neutral. My wolf all but purred.
“Excuse us,” he said.
“Are you really mates?” my coworker asked Madd, her eyes glued to the man.
My body stiffened, and his hands slid off my hips, moving possessively over my abdomen. “Yes. And we’d like a moment alone.”
Her eyes widened. “Of course. I should’ve—I’m sorry. Congrats!” she vanished into the door I’d unlocked.
“Are they always going to be like that?” I wondered, my wolf stretching languidly within me. Madd had settled her thoroughly enough that she was going back to sleep.
“Hard to say. It’ll last a while, at the very least.” His lips brushed my cheek, and I barely suppressed a shudder.
That felt way too good.
The emotional connection we’d started developing the night before made it feel good more than justphysically, too. It felt goodemotionally, on top of the physical bit.
“Be safe. Text me. I’ll wait in the lot until someone else gets here,” he said, before he released my waist and grabbed the door for me.
Groaning inwardly, I slipped through it.
I was screwed.
So insanely screwed.
And not in the fun way.
Well… probably in the fun way, considering I was going to have to feed from him again at some point. But in the shitty way, too.

LOVE
The morning passed quickly,thanks to the exhaustion that set in as I started making croissants on auto-pilot. Tori got there two hours after me, and then it practically flew by as we caught up in hushed whispers.
“How did you like last night?” I asked.
“It was the best night of my life,” she admitted, her expression a little dreamy.
“Did you find someone to drink from?”
“A lot of someones. The women in the pack announced that they’re adopting me, and they’re going to convince a bunch of the unmated guys to start donating their blood for me. I’m going to have astash, Love.”
“Well, you deserve it. At least one good thing came of this mess.”
