It was possible that Cai was keeping enough emotional distance to have only a peripheral sense of Rand's feelings HeNow that he was here, Rand wasn't sure he could take it all the way It wasn't just cold feet If the Dom he was supposed to meet wanted to do a public scene, he wasn't sure how he'd handle that He'd told Anhatever it tookhad he lost his mind?

He ordered a soda and consu his one free hand, he rubbed his leg, an absentthe cra up at inopportune tiht wasn't one of them

Turning froe

You'll know the Doht have missed on that one There were a lot of , and

There he was The male he was immediately, instantly sure was Wolf

And suddenly, Rand wasn't sure of anything

Aching for and craving Cai's touch for teeks, re the male had done to hihts and days, and a lot of jacking off So much that Rand had reached that empty point where he hadn't had the heart to do it anyh his cock stayed in a se to full life at Cai's command

Well, it ide awake now

Wolf was as big as Rand He had polished charcoal skin, and muscles that rippled like an onyx statue, liquefied and coht-colored, alht the room's illumination The firranite features

But there was one quality that overrode all the others, became the ice cream substance to the sundae, while all the rest was chocolate sauce, whip cream and cherry

Wolf was a vampire

It made sense, so much damn sense Anwyn's cryptic answers hadn't been evasive in the wrong way Well, okay, there had been that note of fe the words Wolf is exactly the kind of red flag you're seeking

She also knew that if Rand had interacted with a mere human, someone he wouldn't view on the same level as another shifter or a va to be a problem now

The wolf in Rand sat up and was ready to fight, the type of fighting that would mean blood, yes, and some pain, but that would all be part of the pleasure He ale to the forefront when Wolf locked gazes with him

Theelse The pants were a second skin that were going to get a hell of a workout when he moved The waistband was low, below his hipbones, so every abdominal muscle showed Since the pants tucked into the boots, Rand saw the crop stuck in one of theested Fuck a sub's ever-loving brains out

Wolf lifted a hand, crooked a finger at hiht in his eyes said he knew exactly how Rand would respond to that Rand didn't disappoint Sitting down the drink, he presented his er Then he silently spoke tords, mouthed in best Cai-fashion

Fuck You

Chapter Twenty-Three

Wolf grinned like a lion about to tear apart his dinner He jerked his head in the direction of the private rooetting a hell of a workout His own cock was hard against his jeans, hiswith adrenaline Let's do this

If Cai didn't reach out, if Rand had to absorb the hurt, face the truth that he was facing loneliness again, then this would be a hell of a balm for it

At least for tonight Because as Rand well knew, good sex only lasted that long when it didn't offer anything to the heart But he'd take it Hell, Rand better get used to it, if Cai decided not to tune in ever again
