MJ were being so stubborn about each other
and their attraction. Before she could say anything else MJ spoke.
    “Whatever.
Sam wouldn’t be the reason you just moaned.”
    Corrine
closed her eyes and steadied her nerves. For a moment she was hoping MJ would
forget about the moan that slipped out. “Something did happen and I really
don’t know what it means.”
    “I
knew it! Okay, hit me. I’m great with other people’s problems and apparently
suck at figuring out my own.”
    Corrine
heard her friend’s frustration. “You want to talk about it?”
    “Don’t
try to change the subject again. I’m not ready or willing to talk about it over
the phone. I’ll tell you all about their twisted plan
when I come home. I need a little time to think about a few things anyway.”
    “Whenever
you need me I’m here. I just want to put that out there,” Corrine said. Knowing
her friend already knew that.
    “Quit
your stalling and just tell me. It has to be good if you’re being this
evasive.”
    The
tiny chuckle MJ let out reassured Corrine that things weren’t too bad with her
friend yet.
    “Fine.
Here goes. So I went out last night. Had a great run and went for a swim. After
I was done, I was moon bathing and just about asleep when another tiger came
out of the woods.”
    “Holy
crap. No way,” MJ blurted out.
    “No
interrupting or I’ll never finish this story.”
    Corrine
waited for her friend’s agreement before going on. “Anyway, I’m standing there
not sure what is going on when he shifts.”
    “ He ? Please say he was hot. And if he is
find out if he has a friend I can use.”
    “Oh
he is hot. So damn hot. And if you need a man you can
use Sam.”
    She
heard a grunt from her friend.
    “Okay
then don’t use Sam. Back to my problem. You’ll never
guess who it was.”
    “It’s
someone I know?” MJ’s shock bled through the line. “Well that narrows the
field. Let’s see. Hmm.”
    Both
of them were silent waiting on each other. MJ was the first to break.
    “Okay
I have no idea. The only tiger shifter I know that would be there is your
brother and I doubt you’d be dragging this out if it was just him .” The last word came out with a
little heat. Corrine wished the two of them would talk and figure things out.
Still, she vowed to stay out of it and maybe if she reminded herself enough she
would be able to keep that vow.
    She
sighed, knowing she would have to admit it at some point. “It was the guy from
the shop. The big, beyond sexy one that came in every day and
bought us out. He’s a damn weretiger and was looking for me. Well, the
cupcakes really, but in a round about way—me. Shit, I don’t know.”
    “No
fucking way. How come I never got the were-vibe from him?” MJ asked.
    “Your
guess is as good as mine. We both know your senses are a little off kilter.”
    “Hmmm,
well I guess it’s hard to get the vibe from anyone when I stay in the back the
entire time now that I think about it. I did catch a glimpse of him a time or
two. His fine, firm ass that is. Khakis look good on
him. So that’s it? He came out and shifted? What happened next? Did he want
more cupcakes? Or to see what other sweets you’d be willing to offer up?” MJ
snickered.
    “If
cupcake is the new term for sex, then yes. He was definitely after more
cupcakes.”
    “Damn.
I leave and you find a guy. Maybe I am a man deterrent.”
    “I
refuse to listen to you talk like that. We both know why you push guys away and
can’t settle on one. You’ve been in love with my brother for so long you can’t
see the forest through the trees.” Corrine heard the sharp intake of air but
plowed on. “Besides, it isn’t like Jett’s my boyfriend or anything. He talked a
good game, got me thinking he might want to get to know me when all he really
wanted was a good romp in the woods. We fucked and it was the best sex ever,
but as soon as he found out Sam was coming for a visit he panicked. I’m surprised
he didn’t shift
