she’d been hurt. Running his hand gently down her waist to her hips, he pulled her back against his body as he explored her neck. Christ, she was hot and delicious.
    He’d come into the kitchen to see if Hunter needed him. It wasn’t like Hunter—or Sloan, for that matter—to go into the kitchen, and he thought that if they needed him, he was there. But he’d seen the girl doubled over in pain and Hunter reaching out to touch her. His wolf must have smelled her before him, because he was ready to kill Hunter before he knew what was happening. Then he was standing close enough to get her scent.
    “I don’t think you’re supposed to be back here.” He pulled her hips closer and rocked into her firm ass. “Please don’t do this. I can’t afford to lose this job too. You have no idea how much I need it.”
    “I need you more.” He moaned when she whimpered. “I’d like to sit you on the counter and strip your pants off and feast on you. Then take you somewhere that I can make love to you all night.” He worked the tiny buttons free of their confinement on the front of her blouse, and then cupped her breast before working to free her more.
    “I can’t let you do that.” Lee cupped her naked breast in his hand and rubbed his thumb over her hard peak. “Please don’t do this. You can’t want to have sex with me right now.”
    “I’d love to have sex with you right now. And later, then again after that.” He nipped at her skin hard enough to draw blood, and sucked on the tiny wound . You taste like sex to me. Let me take you out back and see if all of you tastes like that.
    Lee felt her respond. He could smell it on her too. She was wet and needy. But before he could reach into her pants and touch her, someone cleared their throat behind him. Lee turned just enough so that they couldn’t see her and how he’d nearly undressed her. He’d managed to get her blouse undone and her bra lifted up over her breasts. And if he’d had his way, her panties would be on the floor as well.
    “Kimber, honey, I have some people wanting to work. Do you need a minute or two?” Lee told Mabel yes, but Kimber told her no. When the door closed again with Mabel’s laughter going out the door with her, he kissed Kimber on the neck again.
    She jerked her shirt closed, and he stepped back. He wanted to show her how easily he could get her naked again, but he doubted that she’d be any happier with him. With her hands holding her blouse closed, she turned to him.
    “Get out of here.” Lee thought about telling her that she was coming with him, but saw the look in her eyes. “I don’t want you to come near me again. This is…do you have any idea what my life is right now? How much shit that is—?”
    “I met your daughter yesterday.” Her face paled, and he took a step toward her but stopped when she glared at him. “She was buying food at the market. I’m not sure of her name, but she left behind her purse. I have it. Your scent is the same as hers. Strawberries. She’s cute, by the way. And looks like you.”
    “She had to replace what she’d eaten.” Lee nodded. “I didn’t know she’d made her do that. And when I found out, she…she told me that she’s going to keep track of what we eat. I don’t want you to think that I make my child do slave labor. And she won’t again if I can help it.”
    “You can’t go back there.” Kimber nodded. “I have a big house. It’s not…I’d very much like it if you stayed with me.”
    “I’m not going to sleep with you. And I’m certainly not going to live with you. You think that just because you…you nearly had me naked, that I’m easy? Well, I am not.” He nearly laughed at the tone in her voice. He supposed he could have been offended, but he really just thought it was cute. “You…I don’t even know why I let you…let you do this to me.”
    “I’m not sure either, but I enjoyed it.” Her face turned red. “But as for my house. I would very
