"I’ll get you a T-shirt - you can get into your day clothes later in case you decide to go back to sleep" There was spare wo in the cupboards, but he wanted her covered in his scent And he was anih not to care why he wanted that He just did "Wait here"

This time, she didn’t ask him to stop, but he felt her eyes on him all the way down the hall She hadn’t moved so much as an inch by the time he came back Whatever it was that she’d seen, it had spooked the hell out of her, spooked her enough to break down her normal shield of cool reserve

"Here"

"Thank you" She closed the door, leaving hi to the part about replacing his T-shirt with hi rod" She tucked her hair behind her ears

He saw that his old black T-shirt hit her a bare few inches above the knee, covering way more than he’d expected "You’re short"

"Did you only notice now?"

"What are you, five two?"

"One hundred and fifty-five centimeters to be exact"

That s very interesting in bed He pushed off the wall, not surprised at the direction of his thoughts, but disturbed by the strength of the feht And that skin - itat me like that?" Faith took a step back and tilted up her head

No emotion in either her tone or her expression No scent of desire But the cat knew full well she found hi" He could easily lift her up against a wall and pound into her Hard But maybe he’d save that for later - his Psy would probably appreciate a bit less enthusiasuar than usual"

He shook his head in a sharp movement and strode down the hallway "I think the coffee’s ready" What the hell was this Psy doing to hi aloof to the point of icy reave him a wide berth while they flaunted themselves to every other male, because they kneasn’t led by his balls At least not until now

Faith caught up to him "Do you have any nutrition I could have?"

"Nutrition?" He scowled "Do youif you don’t"

"You’re worse than Sascha was" He put his hand on her lower back and urged her toward the kitchen

She jumped away like a scalded cat "I told you not to touch o you were begging o Make up your uar than Faith could probably handle

"I wasn’t completely in control when I woke" She stared at him ary caution but didn’t back away Then she surprised him even rowled again, but it was pleased This woile but she had a spine of pure steel "Are you sure I’ical?"

"No But you’re not an aniainst the wall, his arms on either side of her body One simple lift and he could have her at his sexual , baby" He brushed his lips over her ear "I’, he pushed off and walked into the kitchen

He heard the ragged gasp of her breath a few seconds later "Are you really?"

He looked over his shoulder "What do you think?"

She walked closer "Your eyes aren’t quitehu they were sier than most" And had been ever since that hen he’d survived by turning jaguar and staying that way Because even a baby jaguar had a better chance of survival in the forest than a ten-year-old huth of tied him

As if reassured by his calmer tone, she took another step forward "What does that ar?"

"I don’t know"

"Here, taste" Lifting the black coffee to her lips, he watched her take a sip

She closed her eyes and breathed in the scent as she tasted He’d never seen any woman do that with the intensity of Faith, never been so aware of the inherent sensuality in the act

"Good?"

"Put sugar in it," she ordered, eyes rehn didn’t follow orders well, but this was different This, to hih Faith probably didn’t think of it that way Too bad She was playing with a very interested cat and when that cat got interested in things, it didn’t like to be denied "Here" He let her taste the sweetened coffee

Once again, she breathed deep and savored the taste "Milk"
