He was just finishing up his last biscuit.They seemed to endlessly appear on his table, and the check mysteriously appeared.Nash picked it up and looked at the total.There wasn’t any kind of bastard fee, something that he’d had tacked onto his bill lately.No nasty remarks about taking his business elsewhere from now on.Just the cost of two of the platters, tax, and nothing else.Picking it up, he made his way to the cash register.
Full, he did seem to be in a much better mood, but nothing that wouldn’t flare up again if provoked.And by provoking him, it would only take one misplaced word, and he’d be set off again.As soon as he reached for his wallet out of his back pocket, he knew he was going to be fucked.And with the way his temper was now at full force again, so would the person who was going to give him grief about him having to go to his truck to get his wallet.The woman who waited on him only took the bill from him and glared.
“I left my wallet in the truck.”Before he could tell her that he’d go out and get it, she reached into the sunshine yellow apron she had on, pulled out twenty-five bucks, and rang him out.When she walked away, his rage made him nearly blind.“I have the fucking money.I said I left my wallet in the truck, not that I didn’t have…where the fuck are you going?Come back here.”
“Mister.”He turned to look at the person behind him.“I don’t think you should be talking to her like that.Sunny is a good girl, and she doesn’t need you to be—”
“She paid my fucking bill.”The elderly man backed away from him.“I didn’t tell her that I didn’t have the money.She had no right to pay it off when I was going out to get it.”
“I heard you talking to her when you came into the restaurant.You just be glad that she didn’t dump that water over your noggin.Get on out of here.”He looked around the restaurant and could see that the odds were still in his favor because of him being a jaguar.There would be a lot of human deaths if he didn’t leave right now.Even as he backed to the door, his temper getting hotter and hotter, he didn’t say another word.Damn it, he was going to pay his bill.
Leaving the lot, he had to pull over again about a mile down the road.Nash couldn’t see his head was so hot.Getting out of the truck, he made his way to the tree line and shifted.Mother fuck, whatever got into his path right now was going to be in trouble if they didn’t stay the hell away from him.

“Sunny?You out here?”Sunny didn’t answer Doris but stayed behind the dumpster where she’d been for the last half hour.Her shift had ended twenty minutes before the man had shown up.Once he spoke to her when she handed him the menu, she knew that he would have eaten alive anyone else that was around him.So she stayed to keep the peace.
The doors to the dumpster opened, and she was glad to see that it was Wayne, the busboy.He would dump the trash and not say a word to anyone so that he’d not have to use up any of his time right now to smoke.Why people still did that, even with all the reports going around about how bad it was for you, was beyond her.
Keeping hidden, she looked at the pitiful amount of money she still had in her hands after paying the man’s bill and cried again.Her power was going to be turned off again.There was no hope for it.Even with her keeping everything off and not even using enough to cook herself a hot meal, her bill kept going up and up.The fourteen dollars that she’d made today, plus the extra ten that she’d been counting on to get eggs and milk, was all gone.Sunny hadn’t a clue what she was going to do now but gathered up her things and left the little closed-off area where the large dumpster was locked in.
Walking home wasn’t all that much of a hardship for her.She’d been walking since she’d gotten the job, and now was no different.Tomorrow, it was supposed to rain, so she’d been watching sales on umbrellas now but at the moment, she couldn’t have afforded a newspaper had they been only a nickel.
Cutting through the trees to cut about three miles off her way home, she didn’t bother looking around at the trees and other undergrowth.Sunny had worn a path through the trees and knew this way better than she did her own mind.As she was coming up to what she considered the halfway point, she felt herself being hit from the side and go tumbling ass over end deeper into the trees knocking her head against something hard.
Opening her eyes, she nearly screamed, finding a large black spotted cat standing over her.She knew that it wasn’t a house cat.There wasn’t any way that this sucker was anything but a jaguar.A wild cat had found her.His saliva was dripping off his long fangs and onto her face when she tried to scramble away from him.His large paw digging into her shoulder had her crying out and stopping when she hit her head again.
Opening her eyes again, this time, it was darker than she thought it should have been in the woods.Sunny could feel the blood as it poured from the wound.Lifting her chin when he went from beast to man, she looked into the very pissed-off eyes of the man in the diner this afternoon.
“Mine,” he said as he tugged at her clothing.
“What the fuck are you talking about?”Sunny tried her best to wiggle from beneath him until he pulled both her hands up and over her head and held them there.The man said she was his mate.She didn’t want to acknowledge it, but she couldn’t deny the attraction either.She was as naked as he was when he ran his hand down her body.
“You’re not going to scream?Not going to beg me to stop?”Not opening her mouth, not giving him at all what he wanted, she lifted her chin up and glared at him.“Cute.Very cute.”
His mouth lowered to hers, and she knew that he was going to kiss her.There was no way she was going to make this easy for him, mate or not.Each time he tried to pull her forward, she turn her face away from him.He surprised her by laughing, but when his mouth finally covered hers, she wanted to hate it, but she was lost in that heady kiss.And God help her.She wanted more.
Without another word, he filled her with his cock.Screaming behind her closed mouth, she felt her mouth fill with blood when she bit through her lips to keep from letting it go.She’d never had sex before.The pain, she knew, was more than normal, her body aching as he began to move in and out of her, and the more he moved, the more she wanted.
As he took his time with her, slowly fucking her, she tried her best not to move.Not to do anything that would have him thinking she was enjoying herself, too.His mouth suckled at her breasts, her throat, and ears.Sunny wanted to beg him for more, but she’d not give him the satisfaction.She’d not asked for this, and there was no way that she was going to allow him anything.Not a sound from her if she could help it.
But, like him, her body betrayed her.She came so hard when he lifted her ass up to meet his downward thrusts that she screamed silently again.His laughter, chuckling like he’d won the grand prize, had her turning her head away from him and going limp.
When he finished, roaring out when he came, she didn’t move when he let go of her hands and rolled away.As soon as she was free of his weight, Sunny rolled away from him, snatching up her clothing and running as fast as she could away and to the path where she’d been going home.
It took her several minutes to realize that he wasn’t chasing her.Going back, only close enough that she could see that he was sleeping or unconscious, Sunny got close enough to get the rest of her things.Her apron that had her nametag on it, as well as her shoes.Keeping an eye on the fucker, she dressed quickly and went back to the path.She was standing on the path again when she remembered something about shifters.
He’d bitten her.Not only that, but she was sure that he’d taken a bit of her blood, too, when he’d done it.Sunny knew that he could follow her with what he had of hers and stood on the path again, trying to figure out how to get away.
Going back the way of the restaurant.She was still sobbing when the trash truck pulled in.After it emptied the dumpster and put it back in the locked space, she waited until the man was back in his truck, and then she hopped into the back of the truck.It smelled bad, gross really, but she knew, or at least she thought she knew, that if she wasn’t on the ground, there was no way that he could find her.Christ, oh mighty, she hoped that was at least true.
As she lay there in the leftover food and nasty shit that had gone out in the trash today, she wondered why she’d even bothered.He’d gotten what he wanted, hadn’t he?I mean, she didn’t think he’d gotten a good fuck, but he had at least gotten his jollies.As she watched the sky speed past her on the way to wherever she was headed, Sunny cried harder than she had in a very long time.
She must have fallen asleep crying, so when she woke up, it took her a bit to remember what had happened.All she had to do was move, trying to get out of the truck to remember how he’d hurt her.How his claws had scrapped over her skin.His teeth had made marks on her.The places at her wrists where he’d held her hands above her head were already turning a deep blue.She couldn’t imagine what her face might have looked like.
Finding herself outside of her apartment complex, she stood there waiting to cross the street when she saw his big truck pull into the drive to the complex.Backing away, keeping her eye on him, Sunny moved between the two buildings behind her and waited.It didn’t take her long to see him get out of his truck, his temper no better it seemed than it had been earlier, and make his way into the front of the place.
Sunny knew that there was a policy about giving out personal information about the staff that worked at Good Morning.However, she also knew that enough money would get a person whatever they wanted about anyone.It wouldn’t have surprised her to know that even the president could be paid off if there was enough cash involved.When the man came out of the front of her building and made his way to his truck, Sunny didn’t move from her hiding place.Why he’d pay anything to know anything about her was a mystery, but then she wasn’t going to question a pissed-off shifter.
