eyes as he let go. Her head pounded in protest and she let it fall down to the pillow.
Matthews clenched his jaw as he stood, then moved out of her line of vision.
“What the hell did you just do to me? My head hurts!” Devon cried as she pulled the throw blanket off the top of the couch to cover her legs. She felt so exposed.
“Next time answer me immediately so I don’t have to read your thoughts and find out myself.” He came back and handed her a glass of water. “I didn’t mean to cause you pain when I did that, and I warned you it wouldn’t be pleasant.” Matthews kissed the top of her head as though it was a form of apology. “Though I am now in a bad position since their alpha gave me his word they would mind themselves.”
“What are you saying?” She knew Josh and his brother were wolves, but the conclusion evaded her. She sat up slowly as her head returned to normal. What did all of this have to do with her?
“Has Lucy ever gotten into a physical fight with you?”
Devon shook her head.
“Does it makes sense to have three male werewolves on you?” A deep crease appeared on his forehead as he took a sip from his mug.
“No, it doesn’t.” She shook her head again. “Josh also asked his brother if I belonged to you, but I’m not a possession so I can’t be owned.”
“You’re mine whether you want to be or not.” Matthews shifted to look at her directly.
“Then I wouldn’t have gone there in the first place. You pushed me away after you kissed me, so it’s clear I’m not.” She snuggled down into the cushions and ignored his last statement. I have no idea what he means, but I do not need this supernatural drama.
“What you didn’t realize is how close I was to losing control in my office. I needed to get away from you. I’m sorry you felt rejected.”
“So you actually find me attractive and interesting?” Why the hell didn’t he just tell me what he felt?
“Your questions are all over the place, which tells me you need to rest.”
“Please answer me—I’ve got a lot of things I’ve been wondering about.”
“You did a paper on real issues your werewolf friend faces. You wear a pentacle around your neck. How could I not find you fascinating?” Matthews brought his gaze back to hers.
“You didn’t mention my appearance.” Devon slid off the couch and perched on the armrest, suddenly feeling much stronger. She recalled one of the websites that had screamed in bold letters, vampires can be-spell you to tell deep secrets! Did he feel any attraction to her at all?
In a split second she found herself in his lap, pressed against his chest. Her pulse thundered in her ears and she tried to calm herself down. Just breathe!
“I know how aroused I make you.” He moved the hair off her neck and ran his fingers upwards. “I’ve known it since the second I laid my eyes on you.”
Damn her body! She could not be in his arms this way if he was going to tease her! She struggled against him, then froze as an intense need to get away overcame her thoughts.
“Get off my lap.” Matthews placed a hand on either side of the chair.
Devon raised her head very slowly and saw wildfires in the center of his eyes while the normal royal purple had faded into ebony. A random Internet search the other day noted an adrenaline spike was pure ecstasy to a vampire. Now I know why he is so serious with me all the time!
“Are you going after Lucy’s pack?” She slowly slid down to the floor and half-crab crawled back to the couch. She made tiny motions and tried to calm her heart.
“Chasing werewolves is the furthest thing from my mind.” He stood and in a split second the door slammed shut behind him.
“Shit.” Devon pulled the blanket to her chin and sighed. She liked him better when he was nothing more than a professor who taught an interesting course.
