an elbow to his face that dislodged him off his body. Then he faded back into the night from which he came.

    Dmetri stared after him then slowly came to a sitting position as he reached for his phone.
    Pulling it out, he dialed Brayden’s number. The Elder wasn’t pleased with the news that Claude got away. Hell, neither was he.
    “I’ll be there soon,” Brayden said then hung up.
    Dmetri stood with a wince and half-walked, half-dragged his leg to stand against the restaurant. His thoughts immediately went to Christine. He licked his lips and could still taste her there. He groaned as his cock hardened like a damn rock. Luscious and sweet, she was the sexiest thing he’d ever tasted. He still couldn’t understand why he didn’t just take her body. He’d wanted to, nearly had many times but something held him back. But he hadn’t been able to keep from tasting her sex. She was smooth and soft down there and though he’d barely put his finger inside her before she started coming, he felt how tightly she gripped his finger.
    He’d have her. And soon, before his balls shriveled up. His mind went back to that kiss in the restaurant. He’d never been more surprised by a woman than when she’d boldly climbed into his lap and kissed him . He always initiated contact, he controlled the play, but not with her. She was unexpected, a puzzle, and he liked it.
    Sometime later a black SUV pulled into the lot and pulled up beside him. The passenger window rolled down and Brayden gave him a hard look from inside.
    “Get in.”
    Dmetri carefully pulled himself into the seat and slammed the door shut behind him.
    Brayden looked at the wound at his leg and sighed. “Now I’ll have to get the car cleaned.”
    Dmetri laughed. “Better your SUV than my BMW.”
    Brayden pulled out of the lot. “What happened tonight?” Dmetri told him about the date—sticking only to the needed details. Brayden really didn’t need to know he’d been going down on her when Claude surprised him.
    “And he surprised you when you got to the car?”
    A nod. Brayden shot him a quizzical look, his lips pulling into a line.
    “I smell sex. Who’s the woman?”
    “Christine Barrows, the pack healer.”
    “A lykaen. Not your usual taste. She must be one refined package.” Uncomfortable with the conversation, Dmetri stared straight ahead. “Something like that.”
    “How badly do you think you injured Claude?”
    His ego deflated like a popped balloon. “Not nearly enough.”
    “Because you were surprised?”
    “Yes,” Dmetri said in a hard voice.
    They pulled up to the pack’s gate and, after getting through Gerry’s intense questioning about Brayden, he let them through. Dmetri led them to Vane’s cabin.
    “You’ll need to see the healer for that wound.”
    Dmetri smiled. “I’d planned on it.” Couldn’t wait actually.
    It was late as Vane ushered them into his study.
    “Sarina’s asleep with Vince.”
    Dmetri stood so he wouldn’t bleed on the furniture. “Finally decided on a name then.” Vane grinned as any proud father would as he took a seat. “Damn right.” On a serious note, he turned to Brayden with a nod. “Tell me what happened.”
    “Had a run in with Claude tonight. He’s determined to try to kill the Kategans. Thinks he’ll be able to become Alpha of the pack and combine them…if he can kill you all off.” Vane shook his head. “A vampire running a lykaen pack, I don’t know if I want to laugh or scream. Why does he want to do it?”
    Brayden took a seat. Even the way he sat spoke of his previous life—a commander. He’d been in countless battles and that kind of history changed a person. He sat stiffly, unsmiling.
    Dmetri doubted the man ever smiled, in fact couldn’t recall a time when he even laughed. And he’d known Brayden a long time.
    “The women in his clan are infertile, or so he says. During his trial, he said something about birthing complications. We haven’t been able to verify that
