Confusion spreads across her face as she looks up at me.“What?What’s wrong?”
“Don’t move.I’ll be right back.”
“Hurry.”
Fuck, fuck, fuck!She sure has excellent timing.I grab atowel on my way inside and cover my throbbing erection.Won’t do to answer thedoor and havethatgreet my mother.Taking a calming breath, I open thedoor.
“Mother.To what do I owe this pleasure?”
She looks me up and down with a sneer.
“Why are you swimming at this hour?”
“Mother….”
She storms past me, folding her arms across her chest.
“I hope you’re happy.”
I was about to be.“What are you going on about?”
“Shae—”
“I told you, I’m not interested in her.”
“She was attacked.”
“What?”
“Last night, after you chased her off.She was attacked by abig, black wolf.Sound familiar?”
“Stone.”Fuck.“Is she okay?”
“She will be.But this is exactly the kind of thing—”
“Mother, stop.I need to think.”
“You better do something quickly, Ethan.”
“Where is she?”
“She’s at her parents’ house recuperating.”
“I’ll go see her.See what I can find out.”
She stops at the door and turns to me accusatorily.“It’sher, isn’t it?She’s here.I can smell her on you.”
With a heavy sigh, I show her out and ignore her question.
“Good night, Mother.”
***Casey***
“I was just coming to find you.”
He looks down at my towel-clad body and shakes his head.
“It’s a good thing you didn’t.”
