come home early to prepare for your council meeting. After that, I ll
let you play with me all you like. I ll even keep the spare set of cuffs
if you want, she said, stretching up to kiss the underside of his jaw.
 Consider this a nooner to get you through the day without killing

anyone.
Adam growled as he lowered his head and nuzzled his cheek
against hers. Then he held her head still as he kissed her until she
sagged in his arms.  I m sorry I can t return the favor right now, he
whispered when he finally broke awake, after they were both
breathing fast and heavy.
 You can make it up to me tonight. She took his lower lip
between hers and worried it with her teeth for a few seconds.  Now
get back to work and stop growling at the assistants. I do not want to
have to come back here again today. I don t know how many more
pairs of handcuffs Sam is willing to spare for the sake of this
company.

Adam walked in the house from the garage several hours later and
immediately knew something was wrong. He d arranged it so he
arrived home with enough time to shower and change before the
council was due for the dinner meeting. It was a self-protective move
to keep himself from saying to hell with it and throwing Margot down
on the nearest flat surface to fuck her until neither of them could
move.
Would this intense sexual attraction always remain between them?
Or would time lessen the need to be skin to skin with his mate as
often as possible?
He frowned as he disseminated the negative atmosphere. The
tension he felt in the air reminded him of the last few moments before
a strong thunderstorm broke. Margot s scent, usually so sweet and
arousing to him, carried a sour note of distress.
Moving fast, he tracked her scent through the house, up the stairs,
and down the hall. She d been in each of the guest rooms. He found
her in the one he thought of as the jungle room. The room was painted
green and yellow and was decorated with silk plants and vines, animal

prints, and even had a hammock hanging in one corner. This was his
second favorite bedroom. Only the southwest-desert-inspired room he
and Margot currently used was more to his liking. He couldn t wait to
see what Margot would do with the master suite that currently
remained unfinished. He hoped she would make it as relaxing as their
current quarters.
Margot stood in the middle of the jungle room, her arms wrapped
tightly around her middle. Anxiety rolled off of her in waves.
 Baby? What s wrong? he asked, stepping around to face her.
Wrapping his arms around her, he pulled her close. That s when he
felt her trembling. Something was really wrong.
Margot didn t answer. She stood passively in his embrace, not
fighting him as he pulled her even closer. She didn t respond to his
question or even wrap her arms around him. It was as if she did not
realize he was in the room with her. Adam kissed the top of her head
then rested his cheek on it, surrounding her as completely as he could.
He rubbed one hand up and down her back as he waited for her to
come back from wherever it was she had gone.
It took several long moments before Margot pulled in a deep,
shuddering breath. She held it a moment then released it on a long
sigh. He felt her slowly relax under the hands that stroked her with
tender loving touches.
He dropped his head so he could rub his cheek against hers.  Tell
me, sweetheart, he whispered.  What has got you so upset?
She took another long, deep, shaky breath before her hands came
up to encircle his waist. Lifting her head from his chest, she looked at
him with sad, worried eyes.
 My brother is coming to town, she whispered as tears turned her
golden brown eyes glassy.

 Good, I d like to meet your brother, Adam responded easily.

 Or don t you want me to meet him?
Margot heard the suspicious, almost hurt tone in his voice. She
was treading into dangerous territory. How could she explain without
hurting Adam, or upsetting him so much he would refuse to meet her
brother, Matt?
 It s not that I don t want you to meet him, I just don t want him
to change your mind about claiming me, she admitted softly, [ Pobierz całość w formacie PDF ]
