pushed her body to his. He wanted t o take more of her. H e wanted to give— needed to give her what she desire.
Nick set a slow, sensuous pace for the kiss, sipping at her plush lips. Her scent, her taste—everything about her—was addicting. Something rippled beneath his skin and his wolf spirit pulsed erratically within his veins. Her body became pliant in his arm, and he held her tightly to him.
Charles cleared his throat behind them, and they jumped apart.
“Um, sorry to interrupt, but if you two need a room, there’s a bed and breakfast about a mile or so up the road in case you’ve forgotten.”
Taking Selene by the hand, he threw some money on the counter, grabbed the jerky, and exited the store. The cab was still waiting, and this time he got inside with her.
“Are we ready this time?” Nash glanced at them in the rearview mirror, impatiently drumming his fingertips on the steering wheel.
“Change of plans,” Nick said. “Take me home.”
He glanced over at Selene. She had the tips of her fingers pressed to her lips, a look of puzzlement on her face.
“Are you okay?” he asked.
“Yes,” she whispered.

Selene stared back at her reflection in the mirror. On the outside, she was the same. On the inside, she felt like a changed woman. She touched her lips again. Eve ry time she thought about how Nick had kissed her , she experienced a tingling sensati on there. In all her twenty eight years, no one had ever held and kissed her like that.
After what had happened to her at the hands of the scarred faced man, she a ppreciated her life more. She’d certainly learned her lesson. She would never skip town without telling anybody again. Anything could have happened to her. She could have been dead…probably would have been dead if it weren’t for Nick.
She had felt guilty for making the taxi driver turn around, but intuition told her to stay. There was something more than his irresistible laugh that intrigued her. Something about being in his presence calmed her soul and warmed her heart.
Selene exited the bathroom and walked out i nto the main area of the cabin that Nick called his home away from home. He was a puzzle, and the same curiosity that had got her into trouble a couple days ago now emerged again, eager to learn more about the man and the wolf.
The layout of the cabin was open with the only closed off section being the bathroom. There was a tall folded divider marking off the sleeping area where a dresser, a nightstand, and large four poster bed sat. It had an extremely small galley kitchen, but it was complete with stove, counter space, and mini refrigerator. The largest section, of course, was the living area.
Nick was standing in front of the fireplace. His hand was rested on the mantle and he appeared to be glancing down into the flames. He straightened and looked up at her. His gaze lingered on her for what seemed like minutes. “How are you feeling?”
“Much better after the shower.” She came to stand in front of a sofa . Taking a seat, she curle d her legs up under her.
“I called a good friend of mine, Devin. He’ s invited us to have dinner tomorrow at his home . His mate may have something you can wear in the meantime. ”
“I appreciate that.” She looked down at the pair of sweatpants she wore. They were comfy, but it took her a great deal of rolling at the waistband to keep them up on her hips. “When my car is found, I can repay you for it all.”
“There’s no need.” He pushed himself up off the mantle and came to sit next to her. “ I wish we’d met under better circumstances.”
“I’m just glad we met…when we did.”
He smiled.
“You were saying over dinner that your pack has a new leader and that there is rivalry.”
“Yes. After Devin claimed the title, those who were advocates of his opponent separated themselves from the pack. And if you haven’t figured it out already, the wolf that held us is called Darius.”
“So
