Chapter 10

Will stared at the weapon and laughed "Hey, Jess, friend of yours?"

What was it with the people in this town? Didn't anyone flinch at the sight of a gun anymore?

"What the hell are you doing?" Jessie snapped

I ignored her "Where were you last night?"

"Here"

"Anyone who can verify that but her?"

"What's wrong with her?" Jessie demanded

"You love him If he turned furry beneath the moon, you'd protect him"

"She's right" Will cocked a brow in Jessie's direction "You would"

"But I don't have to You're not a olf"

"Prove it," I demanded

"He already has"

"How?"

"Take off your shirt"

"I don't think I will," I said

Jessie sneered "Not you Him"

"I'm not into kinky"

"Shut up"

I wanted to say so slasses and the pencils to the floor He had alood a chest as Damien Almost

There was a nasty just-healed wound in his upper arm A bullet wound

"Mandenauer shot him with silver"

That sounded like Edward He randdad but wasn't He could be the meanest, most ruthless son of a bitch I'd ever known, if he needed to be

"Do you think our boss would let Will into the group if he wasn't certain he was safe?" Jessie asked

She had a point

I put up rabbed ainst the wall

"If you ever pull a gun on hiain, you'd better kill me first" Another slam and my head thunked the plaster I saw stars "Got it?"

I got it Any warm and fuzzy moments between us were just moments She didn't like me any better than I liked her But we had a job to do

"Leave her be, Jess I can't count the tiun in my face"

"That was different"

"I know You had the hots for me from the start" He smiled "Did she ever tell you how she found me naked in the woods?"

I glanced at Jessie, re her co"

"She thought I was a olf, too But she couldn't keep her hands off me anyway"

I frowned They'd slept together when she thought he was a olf? Ugh

My disgust must have showed on my face, because Jessie rolled her eyes "You've obviously never been in love"

I had been But the olves had taken care of that Since I didn't want to elaborate, she shrugged and didn't comment

"Why did you think I was a olf?" Will asked

Thankful for the distraction - which took my mind off the memories and er toward his neck

He clapped his palrocery store" He peeled away the adhesive strip to reveal a hickey "Kind of ee"

I glanced at Jessie Her face was suspiciously red I couldn't resist "Miss high school much?"

"Not in this lifetime," she muttered

Huh High school was themy present life, this was understandable

Sad, but understandable

"What about the scratch on your arm?" I asked

Will shrugged "Jess needs to cut her fingernails"

Suddenly I was the one blushing

I'd had sex With Jimmy and Myfor safety beneath a rock There were soo, ever, and the only time I'd slept with anyone but Jimmy was one of those places

Still, I'd never had sex that necessitated scratching and biting I didn't get it Didn't want to

"What happened last night?" Will asked

Jessie quickly filled him in

Will's dark brown eyes narrowed "Nine wolves were eaten?" He turned and sat back down at the table

"I saw that I just saw that"

"Sahat?"

"Forget it" Jessie shook her head "He's gone He won't hear you until he comes back to a little place I like to call earth"

The two of us stood there, avoiding each other's gaze, watching Will mutter and shuffle papers He tapped at the computer, squinted, patted his head, and blinked owlishly
