I smell mad? Anger has a scent?
Yes. Fear, arousal, and even pain give off scents.
That s disturbing.
Why? He stood up slowly.
Well, feelings are private, that s why. Now, please take me to the movies. I want
out of here and you can watch me from the back of the theater while I sit in the front.
Far away from you.
I m not taking you anywhere until you tell me what made you mad.
Fine. You want to do this? I don t point out all of your shortcomings because
you re just a werewolf. I heard you on the phone and I got it that you clearly have a low
opinion of humans. Since you didn t seem to mind that so much when you were inside
me it tended to piss me off that it seems a big point with you that you can t have sex
with me with fur on.
He frowned. I didn t say that and I didn t insult you in any way. I didn t even
mention you.
She arched her eyebrow. Okay. How would you feel if you overheard me talking
to a guy I was supposed to spend the weekend with and heard me tell him how much I
wished I was with him doing things to him that I know damn well you can t do to me.
His mouth tensed and his eye color turned black. I can do anything to you that a
human can do. He took a step and then another. I can do it better.

Then swear to me that you can have sex with me without a condom on and not be
tempted to bite me. Can you fuck me without having your teeth grow out, or your eyes
turning black? With human guys I don t have to deal with any of that shit.
Anger tightened his face.
Mika studied him, realizing she was trying to piss him off and knew it was
dangerous. Werewolves weren t known for control when they were angry. I don t
want to fight with you. You ve already made it clear that the only reason you want to
have sex with me is because you were forced into it by protecting me.
Grady inched closer to her. You think I don t want you? Look at me. Hell, feel me.
I m hard because I want you.
If you hadn t been ordered to guard me you wouldn t be here. I wanted you but
you wouldn t touch me until you were forced to bite me. If my uncle told you today he
was pulling you from guarding me, you d be out that door in a snap if you hadn t bitten
me. You sure wouldn t be cancelling your weekend plans. You d be chasing tail in the
woods.
His jaw clenched but he didn t say a word. His dark eyes looked away from Mika,
guilt crossing his features, and pain hit her hard.
That s what I thought. The token denial would have been nice though. Let s go.
I m leaving with or without you.

Mate Set
Chapter Seven
Grady s bar wasn t packed during the day. The female bartender was in her early
thirties, had black short hair, startling green eyes, and four face piercings. Her nose,
lips, and eyebrow sported metal. She watched Mika curiously as Grady introduced
them.
Watch her, Tina. She s Omar s human niece and she s aware of what we are.
Tina s nose twitched and she arched an eyebrow at Grady. I see how the wind
blows. I thought you were seeing
That will be all, Grady cut her off. I ll be in my office for a few minutes and then
I ll be back. Grady glared at Mika. Your ass doesn t leave that seat. I don t want a
repeat of the other night. If you want to dance, wait for me and I ll dance with you. I
just need to take care of a few things while we re in town.
He walked away leaving Mika with the bartender who was still eyeing her carefully
and thoughtfully. The woman leaned closer, meeting Mika s gaze.
He doesn t do humans. You must be something in bed since he marked you.
Mika ignored the comment. May I please have a rum and coke on ice?
The woman moved away and a minute later she placed a drink in front of Mika.
You can t hold him. Tina gave her a cold look. You can t handle him for long. He ll
get tired real fast of a fragile human. He likes it rough. He likes to partially change
because he doesn t have to hold back or keep in control. Tina smirked at her. He d
break your bones just gripping you if he didn t tear you up inside going at you that
hard.
Mika took a sip of her drink and studied the bartender, trying to hide her anger and
how hurtful the words were. I m thinking your eyes aren t just green from what you
were born with. I know it s mating season. Were you hopeful he d nail you? I bet it
burns that he s in my bed instead.
A growl tore from Tina s throat and sharp teeth showed. Mika leaned back.
Temper, temper, Tina. I m Omar s niece. He d really be pissed if you laid a& paw
on me. He s very protective of me since we both know you re a lot stronger and a fight
wouldn t be fair between us.
Snarling, the other woman spun away and stomped to the other end of the bar.
Mika knew she d been a bitch but she was angry. It was bad enough she had to face that
she wasn t what Grady wanted but to have it pointed out to her in graphic detail by the
rude bartender had just pushed her bitch button .
Feeling watched, Mika turned and glanced around the bar. She saw about fifteen
men in the room but, other than her and Tina, there were no other women. One of the

men stood, gripping his beer, and started to walk toward her. When he was about five
feet away she saw him inhale, sniff at her. He froze. He sniffed again and then frowned.
His gaze locked with hers and it was obvious he was confused.
You re sniffing right, Joey, Tina called out. He marked her. She knows what we
are.
Joey s stunned gaze shot to Tina. But& she s& what the hell?
Mika sighed and turned to face the bar to take a sip of her drink. The man was
shocked that Grady had marked her. It was just one more reminder that Grady would
never accept her as a mate since his friends were reacting with shock that she carried his
scent. Tina snorted.
Who knows, but he did it.
Mika was surprised the entire pack hadn t heard of how Grady was left with no
choice but to mark her. Maybe Uncle Omar had silenced that rumor because, if anyone
could do it, he could. Knowing her uncle, he didn t want people talking about her. She
was actually grateful for that secret at the moment. She had a good idea that if Tina
knew that Grady had been left with no choice, she would have said much worse to
Mika.
What s going on? Grady growled.
Nothing, Joey said. I just got close enough to scent you on her. [ Pobierz całość w formacie PDF ]
