waist. Her inner wolf sighed in contentment the moment they made contact. Pleasure surged through her when he didn’t pause, just slid his solid arm around her shoulders and pulled her close.
    Grant didn’t seem surprised at their affection as he nodded at both of them. “Let me know as soon as he gets back to you. For now, you two get some damn sleep. We’ve increased the security and no one is getting in here. I’m staying close to the compound today so let me know if you need me. And, before you ask, I’ve already told the pack to give you some space until you’re ready. I’m pretty sure they’ll only give you today alone,” he said wryly.
    That, she believed. But a day was enough to rest and decompress from what had happened. She wanted to ask him about her bakery but at this point didn’t really care if he closed it for a couple days or sent some packmates to work there. “Thank you.” After giving her another hug, Grant left and she was once again alone with Rex.
    After his offer of blood she was feeling more off-balance than ever.
    “I am going to shower,” Rex said abruptly before turning and leaving her standing by the front door.
    O- kay . What had that been about? Too mentally exhausted to think about it, she headed for her kitchen in search of food. Food and rest were the two cure-alls for everyone. Right now her wolf was restless though, wanting Rex’s presence more than anything.

    Rex tried to will his cock to go down as he pulled on a pair of jeans Margery must have left for him when he was in the shower. They smelled like Grant so he guessed the alpha must have brought them over. Rex was just glad they didn’t smell like some random male. She’d left a T-shirt too but he decided to go shirtless. He wanted her as aware of him as possible.
    Something had shifted between them since they’d returned to her place. She hadn’t minded his touch, had even reached for him. He wasn’t sure if there was more to it than just her needing simple comfort. Either way, he liked it. He found her in the living room curled up on the couch with a book in hand. All the floor to ceiling length drapes were closed, so the room was incredibly dim. He wouldn’t know it was daylight if his internal clock didn’t tell him. She must have pulled the hurricane shutters in place, which he found incredibly thoughtful.
    Putting her book down, she smiled when she saw him. The open way she greeted him stroked against his senses in the most erotic way. Almost immediately her smile disappeared as her gaze raked hungrily over his bare chest. Her mouth parted slightly, her full lips so damn kissable he had to restrain himself from groaning out loud.
    If she kept looking at him like that he didn’t think he’d be able to show any restraint. Not if she gave him the green light. If that happened…his body tightened in anticipation. Just imagining her underneath him, completely surrendering to the electric heat between them, made it hard to think straight.
    “Your eyes are doing that glowing thing again,” she said, drawing his gaze away from her very kissable lips to her eyes.
    “Seems to be a permanent thing around you.” The words escaped before he could stop himself.
    “Can you control it?” There was only curiosity in her voice, nothing to indicate it bothered her.
    “For the most part.” He just didn’t want to. No, Rex wanted Margery to see all of him. He was a vampire and he wasn’t going to hide that part of himself. “Did you…” He wanted to ask her if she’d given any thought to his offer of blood, but couldn’t force the question out. She’d seemed so shocked by his offer before and he didn’t want to hear her rejection, but the thought of sharing his blood with her made him so hard it hurt. Clearing his throat, he continued. “Did you still want to watch a movie?”
    She nodded and reached for one of the remote controls on her wooden coffee table. “I wasn’t sure if you’d be too tired.
