him warm.
After a few moments, Matt took the towel and dried his hair with it without an ounce of
embarrassment for his naked, semi-aroused state. He was a typical wolf in that. “Thank you.”
Aubrey wondered if Matt knew how close he was to being thrown over Aubrey’s shoulder and
whisked away to the bedroom. “For what?”
Looking bashful all of a sudden, Matt shrugged. “For agreeing to try and work through things.”
Had anyone ever thanked him for something so simple? Something that was a given? Aubrey cupped
Matt’s cheek, reluctant to let him go. “Thank you for giving me a chance.”
Matt swallowed, making his Adam’s apple bob. He nodded, and his long lashes fluttered over the
deep blue pupils.
The color bled out of Aubrey’s vision until he saw in monochrome. He swallowed and closed his
eyes.
The tangy scent of Matt’s arousal increased. “Um, I better get dressed.”
“Yeah,” Aubrey said without opening his eyes. The less he saw of that lush naked body, the better.

Matt’s body heat disappeared as he walked away. Only seconds later, there was a thud, a “whoa”
followed by a bigger thud, then laughter.
Opening his eyes, Aubrey rushed to his room.
Right outside the bathroom door Matt lay sprawled naked on the floor by Aubrey’s bed. His clothes
were strewn from the pile they’d been in when Aubrey had stepped over them to go into the bathroom. The damp towel was clear across the bedroom, a good three feet from Matt. It didn’t take a genius to figure out what had happened. “Are you okay?”
Giggling, Matt nodded, making no move to get up from the spread-eagle. Given the position, he must
have tripped and rolled.
Matt’s clumsiness, or rather the barrage of laughter that ensued as a result of the fall, should’ve
dwindled Aubrey’s erection, but it didn’t. Matt’s ability to laugh at himself was just about the sexiest thing Aubrey had ever seen. Not five minutes ago Matt had sat in the bathtub unsure and nervous, and here he
was sprawled on the floor, cackling like a hyena.
Aubrey smiled. Matt made him forget his everyday stress. Matt’s joy of life was addicting, something
Aubrey could come to depend on if he let himself.
Aubrey shrugged off the thought. He needed to get Matt dressed before he lost his mind. There was
just way too much temptation. “Ma—” A burning smell tickled his nose. “What’s that smell?”
Matt’s nose wrinkled, sniffing, and his eyes widened. “Oh no.” He scrambled to his feet and ran, still
naked—what a nice view—out of the bedroom.
When Aubrey reached the kitchen, Matt stood in front of the oven, wearing nothing but an oven mitt,
frowning at a pan of burnt cinnamon rolls in his hand. Aubrey couldn’t help it, he started laughing. Life with Matt around was going to be an adventure.

Chapter Six
Matt tilted his face up into the bright sunshine and let the heat thaw him as he stepped free of the
lecture hall. He shrugged his backpack farther up his shoulder and rubbed his arms. Why were classrooms always cold?
The cheery bloop sound signaling he had a text rang out as the heavy door banged shut behind him.
Not now. He groaned and flowed with the stream of fellow students anxious to leave the building.
Descending the steps, he headed toward a less-crowded patch of sidewalk. He was going to have to
tell his brother that Tara wasn’t his mate. He couldn’t put it off any longer. If he did, his phone was going to drive him batty. Logan’s tenacity was legendary. Matt had managed to put Logan off for three days
already by telling him Matt was still feeling his way on how best to break the news. Yesterday, Logan
started demanding Matt figure out what he was going to do and do it. And now Logan’s patience had run
out. Matt knew his brother was worried, but he couldn’t tell Logan the truth yet and he didn’t want to
outright lie
