“Oh. But you’re going to see him again, right?” Annika asked.

“Probably not. It’s always best to leave things on a high note.” Pippa tried to ignore the strange feeling she got at the thought of never seeing Jared again.

Well, of course, she’dseehim. They lived in the same town, so it’s not like they couldn’t be friends.

She frowned at the thought.

The truth was she didn’twantbe his friend. Or not just that anyway. What she really wanted was to drag him back to bed with her.

She sighed.

“What was that sigh for?” Tempest demanded.

Pippa shrugged.

“I bet she was mooning over the wolf,” Morana said.

“I’m not mooning,” Pippa growled. “Just remembering his glorious cock, that’s all.”

“Oh, that’s just rude,” Natalie said. “Please try to remember the rest of us haven’t managed to break our enforced celibacy quite yet.”

“If you’re done with the wolf, maybe he’d be willing to help the rest of us out,” Tempest said.

A wave of fury swept through Pippa at even the thought of one of her sisters—or any woman, for that matter—touching what was hers.

Wait.

What?

“This isn’t possible,” Pippa whispered. “I refuse to accept it.”

“What’s she going on about now?” Amaryllis asked.

“Not a clue,” Jo said cheerfully. “But she looks like she’s having an epiphany.”

“Looks rather painful,” Rowan said.

Pippa groaned.

There was no way the wolf was her mate.

No way.

Probably the only reason she was feeling so possessive was that last night had been the first time she’d had sex in way too long, and she hadn’t quite gotten the unintentional celibacy out of her system yet.

So, all she really needed to do was find someone else to work off all that pent-up sexual energy with and everything should go back to normal.

Right?

She cast her mind back to some of the other eligible men she’d met the day before.

There were several wolves, a couple chameleons and a number of vampires.

Unfortunately, the thought of touching any of them left her completely cold.

Not acceptable.
