"Soon?" I lick my lips, uncertain. Oh, shit, oh shit, oh shit.

His eyes drift shut, nostrils flaring, "yeah, soon. Like..." his eyes open, "tonight. Tonight I want to have you."

Fear mixes with lust. At least I can experience lust. I have to be practical here. This is what I promised them, and I just can't assuage his feelings of jealousy by telling him who my mate is. I can barely utter Daan's name in my head, much less make that accusation out loud. Who would believe it, anyway? My alpha, my friends, and my pack didn't believe in my innocence. Why would these males?

"Can I tell you who the male is, umm... later?" I ask.

He freezes in the act of smelling my hair. "That's a 'yes' on tonight, pretty."

I swallow, "that's a yes. Tonight," I rush out. That's the deal. It's what I agreed to. I... I like this male. I can make this work.

Soft lips kiss mine. "Tonight," he promises as he pulls away. He leaves without a backward glance.

Wait. Tonight? Will they all be here? Or just Rhet? Why can't I ever think of these questions while they're in the room with me?
