One minute passed.

Then another.

The bubbles disappeared, and I scowled at the screen.

Right before I turned my phone off, it rang with a video call.

I didn’t want to answer it. I was pissed enough and hurt enough that I wanted to ignore it and turn my phone back off. That would stick it to him for being a dick about the way he left.

But honestly?

I missed him too.

So I answered.

Clay’s expression was tense when he realized he couldn’t see me in the camera. The room was too dark. He must’ve had a light on, because I could clearly see his overgrown stubble and the dark circles beneath his eyes.

My stomach tensed.

“You look like shit, Savage.”

“Can you turn a light on, Gorgeous? I need to see you.”

I let out a harsh breath, but reached over and hit the switch on my lamp. It lit up the room with soft, warm light, and actually did my appearance some favors.

Clay finally relaxed a little. “You’re okay?”

“I’m fine, like always.”

“Is anyone with you?”

“Yes, I picked up a newfiancéat a bar a couple hours ago. We made sweet, sweet love, and as I talk to you, his mouth is currently on my?—”

Clay’s wolf roared through the man.

Fur broke out on his face, and my eyebrows jumped upward. “Cool it. I was joking. I spent all day with my sister and Sydney. The only guy I want is you.”

The fur didn’t disappear immediately.

Clay shuddered and shook for a minute.

I started humming one of the songs Olive and I had been referencing, and his fur started to shift back into skin.

When his fur was finally gone, Clay slumped back against the couch. “He’s never been this bad before.”

“He misses me.”

“He’s not the only one. I had to pull over and take a nap on the way here, and had the most realistic sex dream of my life.”

“Featuring me?”

“Gorgeous, no one else I’ve ever been with holds a candle to you. Of course it featured you. And yes, I jerked off in my car to the fantasy, like a fucking pervert.”

Clay shoved a hand through his hair. It was longer than usual, and far less tame. I guess I’d been out for a while after turning Olive.

“You can lose the pervert title if you tell me about it.”

His eyes darkened. “Do you have your vibrator?”
