to overload her senses. To find
    herself there again made her body tingle in
    raw sexual awareness. But first . . . “Did
    you plan to use me because of my family?”
    “No.” The answer was so immediate
    she had no doubt of the truthfulness. Not to
    mention she couldn’t smell the bitterness
    of a lie. His next words surprised her.
    “What I want from you has nothing to do
    with your pack. And when I think about
    you, I’m sure as hell not thinking about
    anyone else. I don’t like shifters—or I
    didn’t until I met you. It’s not exactly a
    secret, but I don’t want to use you. At least
    not in the sense you’re asking about.
    However, I do plan to use your body for
    all sorts of . . . things.”
    Things. The dark note in that single
    word sent an erotic thrill through her. One
    that made the heat between her legs grow
    until all she could think about was taking
    off her robe, stepping into his arms, and
    letting him push deep inside her.
    Considering the way he was practically
    undressing her with his eyes she knew he
    wouldn’t reject her. Before she could
    contemplate anything, her phone buzzed in
    her hand. The number on the screen
    surprised her. It wasn’t a member of her
    pack, but Irene, a human woman from a
    homeless shelter downtown. Melina knew
    her friend wouldn’t call in the evening
    unless it was an emergency.
    She immediately pressed the talk
    button. “Hello?”
    “Melina, thank God! I need your help.
    One of the teenagers who bounces in and
    out of the shelter has been shot.”
    Hating that Kiernan could hear every
    detail of their conversation thanks to his
    extrasensory abilities, she turned to the
    side, trying to give herself the illusion of
    privacy. “Why haven’t you called the
    police?”
    “He’s here with two of his friends.
    They both have guns and are refusing to let
    me call the cops. They’re not going to hurt
    me but they said if I tried to call the cops
    they’ll leave. He doesn’t have much time
    and I thought . . .” Her voice broke. “He’s
    hanging out with the wrong crowd—local
    gang members—but he’s such a good kid.
    I thought maybe you could help him with
    your gift.” She whispered the last part.
    Irene was one of the few people who
    knew what Melina could do. She
    volunteered with the other woman, and
    Melina had needed to use her healing
    powers more than once in Irene’s
    presence. Not even Melina’s pack knew
    the human was aware of what she could
    do, and she planned to keep it that way.
    Shooting Kiernan a glance over her
    shoulder, she bit the inside of her lip.
    “Give me fifteen minutes.”
    “Thank you so much. Use the kitchen
    entrance at the back, that’s where we are.”
    After hanging up, Kiernan gave her a
    dark look. “You’re not going anywhere.
    Not with shifters out to kidnap you.”
    “I have to. I’m sure you heard my
    conversation.” He nodded. “Then you
    know I have to go. Do you have any
    clothes I can wear?”
    Growling under his breath and sounding
    more like a shifter than a vampire, he
    turned, motioning with his hand for her to
    follow. Hurrying after him she followed
    him to what she assumed was another
    guest room. It wasn’t covered in his
    distinctive, wild scent.
    He jerked open a door to reveal an
    oversized walk-in closet. “I don’t know
    what’s in here but it belongs to some of
    my cousins. Just grab what you need.”
    Crossing his arms over his chest, he
    leaned against the door frame as if he
    planned to watch her.
    “Uh, I need to get changed.”
    “I guess you better hurry then.” His
    voice was full of sin and sex.
    She could waste time arguing with him,
    but decided to just drop her robe. There
    wasn’t time, something he knew and was
    capitalizing on. She couldn’t really fault
    him because if she had a chance to see him
    naked again . . . No time to go there.
    Kiernan sucked in a breath behind her
    as the thick robe hit the floor. She smiled
    to herself. Served him right for
