into a tight fist. Her embarrassment was gone. In its place grew her anger. She began to wonder what else Tigif faked. “What about the den and all the plans she has made?”
“She made those plans without consulting me.”
“What do you mean
without consulting you?
Were you not the one who proposed to her and told her to set the date?”
“Yes, but solely to get your
hound dog
brother off my scent.”
Leonora stepped closer. “Never call him that?” she yelled.
“Why, when he is that and much more?”
Leonora growled. “You care nothing about my sister then.”
“How can I? I am in love with you.”
“Whoa…in love?” Her face twisted in a cynical sneer. “You mongrel! What in the blazes do you know about love? Love doesnot give you the right to play with someone’s emotions the way you are playing with Karla’s.”
“Only when those feelings belong to the one you love. As I said before, I do not love Karla. I love you.”
“You do not love me.”
Tigif moved to stand a hairsbreadth from her. “You would have me deny my feelings?”
Leonora noticed he focused on her mouth. His tongue traveled over his lips. She stepped back. “Those feelings you think you have for me are not real. Karla is real. She loves you. She would make a wonderful lifemate for you.”
Before she could react, Tigif seized her shoulders and yanked her to his towering form. “I will mate with no one but you.”
“Release me!” Leonora pushed against his chest without success. “Do not make me hurt you.”
Tigif held her firmly and rubbed his hips to her tummy. Leonora’s eyes grew wide at what she felt.
With a small chuckle, he responded in a low, husky manner, “Hurt me? How can someone as small as you possibly do that, my pet?”
Leonora smacked him hard. It felt good to repay him for the disrespect he was showing toward her family. Stunned, Tigif released her as she expected.
“Do not touch me again! I do not love you. And when we return to Oceana, you have a lot of apologizing to do to Karla and Challen.”
In no mood to hear anymore of his plans, Leonora stormed back to her bedroom and locked the door. She placed a chair underneath the doorknob for good measures.
Like a caged lioness, Leonora paced back and forth in the room. She tried to make sense of how Tigif could have misread any of her motives or intentions. She had been straightforward with her feelings from the start.
He never could accept no for an answer. He always manages to get his way. Not this time. How dare he touch me?
Her body shook with rage.
How dare he disrespect me this way?
Her respect for Tigif was no more.
Since their arrival on Earth, she had to repeatedly search over her shoulder, for Tigif would show up everywhere she went, and when she least expected it. She had felt she was being stalked. She now realized she was. She wondered if Tigif were capable of violence. It would not be the first time a spurned male released his frustrations on the female of his interest.
She prayed Tigif would not go that far. They had worked together for two seasons. On many occasions, she had seen him lose his temper with others when things did not go his way. She was aware that he retaliated by using his influence and ruining the feline’s career. There were times when some of his targets turned up with bruises and broken bones. The victims always gave lame excuses for their injuries, so no one was ever arrested.
She had wondered if Tigif attacked them directly or had ordered someone else to do the dirty deed. He would not be the first to do so in his clan. The Mountain Tiger Clan was composed of spoiled, rich bullies. All Leonora knew for sure was if Tigif decided to force the issue with her, she would have to arrest him. After all, she was a high-ranked warrior in the Oceanan military, not just an elite scientist. Attacking an officer was not tolerated, no matter how much political power the perpetrator’s clan possessed.
