please.”
    Her beautiful eyes stared up at him, studying him. Finally, she let out a sigh and reached up and stroked his cheek, muttering, “One more chance. I’m only giving you this because I know you’re trying.” She grinned, showing her fangs. “Also, you’re hot, and I have a weakness for redheads.”
    He laughed and felt a weight lift from his shoulders as he yanked her closer, kissed her lips, and moved up to nibble her ears. “Well, I have a thing for tall, gorgeous brunettes with big blue eyes. I love chasing them down and eating them.”
    She giggled and pushed against him. Logan let her go and she backed up with a wicked grin on her face. “Oh yeah? Why don’t you catch me and see if I’m the flavor you’re looking for?” She turned on her heels and ran across the beach, laughing.
    Watching as her hair trailed behind her and her feet barely hit the ground, he bounded after her, feeling light, and happiness like he hadn’t felt in years.

    It was getting harder and harder for Ava to keep her wolf in check and not mate mark Logan. He was making a big effort whenever he spent time with her. He’d done an almost full turnaround from asshole to a great potential mate. He still got funny sometimes about the werewolf stuff, especially that she could lift more than him, run faster, heal quicker, and had all-round better stamina.
    Two weeks had gone by since their first date and Ava had never been so horny or sexually frustrated in her life. She hadn’t had sex with him for fear of mating him, something she still thought Logan would regret. But tonight she knew she couldn’t hold back any longer. She prayed he was ready for her and didn’t do anything stupid.
     

Chapter 6
     
    Last night had been a killer. The demons had attacked a football event so Logan had used his powers in front of all his work colleagues. Some hadn’t taken it well. The most vocal of the group were clearly outraged by what they felt was a betrayal, convinced he’d lied and intentionally concealed his identity. Usually it wouldn’t bother him, but tonight he had to get ready for his date with Ava, and he was so sexually frustrated he knew if he didn’t have Ava again tonight he’d crack and jump her.
    Ava hadn’t had sex with him since the night she kicked him out of her house. And she’d slowly seemed to be easing back to letting him in. Yesterday when they’d had lunch he was sure she was going to invite him around for some loving before he went out fighting. But no, she kissed him, leaving him wound up and ready to burst. Today his training partners took the brunt of his frustration and tension.
    Walking to the barracks, he saw the door that was usually always open was closed. Ramming the door, he slammed into it until it opened, and he was met with Mark’s fist in his face.
    “That’s for me trusting that you were normal and not like the rest of the freaks we’ve been forced to work with.”
    John come up behind Logan and before he even had the chance to react turned him and punched him also. “You betrayed us. I think it’s best if you stay away from us. Go join your brother with his dog.” With that they left, slamming the door behind them.
    Fuck. Stumbling to the showers, he messed with the taps until he got the water right, then stripped out of his clothes and got in, letting the cool water sooth his face. To think most people thought the army was a friendly, non-judgmental place. The motto don’t ask, don’t tell. Logan chuckled. Yeah, right. The men knew he wasn’t going to tell on them as he wasn’t a snitch. It was just easier to move.
    Logan got out, turning off the water. He dried himself quickly and dressed quickly, not wanting to be anywhere near any of his so-called army mates. He packed all his stuff up and chucked it in his car. He’d move to a new barracks or rent a house. That should help keep the peace.
    He debated driving around for the twenty-five minutes he had until he picked Ava
