That she-devil.

ChapterEleven

I learned when I was a kid what it was like to play with fire. Sooner or later, you’re going to get burned.

Beast is going to be trouble.

I excuse myself before the top of his head detonates. “I’ll just be over here doing myjob.”

Once I'm out of his magnetic field, I shake off the lingering effects of having Beast’s mouth on my skin.

He bit me.

The shock still reverberates through me.

Heat coils where his teeth grazed me. And in countless other places.

Places where his mouth would do wicked things.

God! I groan.

What is wrong with me?

When I glance at the bite, a wave of tingles rushes through my body. The mark is just above my wrist, right on the tender part of my inner arm.

There’s a small, dark pink area, a crescent moon shape, not as big as the ring that a pint glass leaves. But it feels gigantic.

I inhale deeply as the tingles zoom around from point to point in my body. You’d think a wolf snapped on my arm as big of an effect as it had.

There’s also the shock. Beast actually bit me.

I’ve never been bitten by a man before.

I didn’t know it would make my pussy throb.

Scrubbing my forearm against the material of my shorts doesn’t help.

Ignoring it doesn’t work.

Maybe dousing it with water will take away the sensation.

Belle glances at me as I move toward our supply of bottled water. “I’ll be right back, getting some more water. Want one?”

“Ten, please. Just kidding, but I do need to watch my hydration. I gotta take some electrolytes too.”

Another round of weird sensations set off in my body. Just the mention of electrolyte pills makes me curse Beast’s existence.

I probably sound like a grump when I say, “Gotcha covered.”

The path to the back of our truck, the one that didn’t burn, is a gauntlet of boxes and pallets of supplies. The inventory response teams carry is one thing that FamFind does right. Mostly.

I find the cases of water and pull out a few small bottles. It’s surprisingly thirst-quenching for as warm as it is. Thank god I feel better than I did.

The infuriating man’s electrolytes helped. I should have been better about taking care of myself.

I don’t know why I slipped up on that.

I’ve never had anyone to look after me.
