"Thanks, officer, for the advice, and the news," Hunter said, his voice gruff
"Navy SEAL, eh? The guy ht here, so take all the time you need"

"Thanks" Hunter opened the door, closed it behind hi like a warrior with a mission, his harsh expression ahe intended to turn her She definitely had
"Navy SEAL? You really were one?" she whispered, raising her hands to offer herself to hiin to ie, the chance to be with the man who heated her blood like no other had ever done, yet part of her wanted to re Hunter for her own, but without the life-altering change
"Yeah You were right all along, Tessa honey Meeting on the beach like we did was… karh if I’d been more with it, I would have acted a lot aped "How could you have been a SEAL as a olf?"
"We can be anything ant, if we’re so inclined and have the aptitude" He winked at her and the sexy look slid a volley of heat through her
And then she gave him a half sht if they’d knoemy fortune that a beautiful woman had come to rescue ed her to his chest, tighter than need be as if he’d feared losing her and wanted to prove to himself she was all his--which suited her just fine--then carried her to the bed "We’ve got to talk"
Talk? She felt the tension in his muscles, saw the way his eyes darkened with need, s aroused She wanted him with all her heart So why didn’t his heated eainst hi concern What if he changed her, then gave her to a beta wolf? "You don’t think I’ht After you clobbered that gray with the fireplace tongs and tonight again with your crutch?" He gave her a small smile, set her on the bed, and tucked some of her hair behind her ear with a tender touch "A beta female would have tucked tail and run With your sprained ankle, if you’d been a beta, you would have easily given up I saw you trying to keep Yoloff fro you If I could have, I would have ended his ers shifted to the buttons on her blouse, his urgent struggleDevlyn?

"I can’t deny I’ this to you, Tessa I don’t want you to regret it But I also don’t want to bite you Wolves do bite in playfulness, but as a wolf to human?" He shook his head and pulled her blouse off her shoulders
So he was changing her But that didn’tto know the truth first, her body instantly responded to his touching her, fla her for sex--not change Want and need replacing con of hesitation?
The change That’s what he was concerned about "I used to play tug-of-ith o for hthearted response would ease his concern
Hunter s-of-war?" He pulled her blouse off the rest of the way "I’ve got to do this We don’t have a choice"
She seized his hands and looked into his eyes In that instant, he looked even , jaw clenched, brow furrowing
"I’ alpha like, is it? But I worry I’ll change tooto do withstern, a hint of relief flitted across his expression "You’re mine"
She should be ecstatic to have that question resolved, shouldn’t she? But she couldn’t quit worrying about the change Instead of addressing his claiht you couldn’t shapeshift unless the iven him
His sensual lips curved upward just a little as he started pulling off his clothes, revealing his beautiful body, rough hewn, rugged, capable of enduring great hardships, or giving her carnal pleasure "I’ant s"
"So as a royal, you can shapeshift anytime?"
"That’s the beauty of it"
"That’s why you could be a SEAL No worry about shifting while under water"
He chuckled "No And the group I ith--all royals, just for that reason"
She sighed No scars marked his smooth as silk skin, every bit of toned muscles fro in anticipation She looked lower, from his narroaist and hips down to his full blown erection standing at attention a at me like you want to eat aze
