Tabby held up her bag "She brought ed in peace"

Ryan studied her, his fingers absently toying with a lock of Glory’s hair "Keep her safe"

She gulped, the quiet warning in the Bear’s voice clear If Ryan had decided not to let Glory out of his sight, there wasn’t much Tabby could have done to stop him

A lone Bear could whip the ass of a lone Wolf "Yup Will do"

Ryan took Glory’s hand to his lips "I will see you later" He tipped Glory’s chin up and smiled down at her, his expression filled onder and a touch of satisfaction "Glory"

Glory didn’t take a breath until Ryan’s form disappeared around the corner

"What the hell was that all about?"

Tabby took Glory’s arm and steered her back to Julian’s room "I’ll explain it on the way" She pushed the button for the elevator "How do you feel about bears?"

Glory looked stunned She stu, pulled by Tabby, her expression one of horrified fascination She’d never dealt ith aggressive ressive as they ca the teddy kind"

Julian rolled his eyes and snorted "She’s getting dressed" He pointed toward the bathroom "She even waited until she shut the door to start with the nakedness"

Bunny’s hands clenched He owed thenaked in another man’s rooround his teeth "Are you done yet?"

Julian covered his hter frooing to sneak in there and ravish your lily-white ass"

Bunny relaxed a bit The other ht to Tabby He bowed his head in thanks, s he wanted to do was rip into the man who not only was one of his mate’s closest friends, but his cousin’s savior Besides, Bunny hated fighting, but he’d do it for Tabby It was nice to know there wasn’t a need where Julian was concerned

The sounds behind the door had stopped "He thinks what again?"

"Face it, hon" Julian struck a draolas"

The door opened Tabby stepped out and Bunny’s tongue nearly hit the floor
