cock went soft.
    One of the male lions was joined by three of Talan’s sisters. Never a fan of being watched, Adrian knew it was time to bail. He’d discuss the bite with Talan later.
    “That’s it. I’m out of here.”

    Ignoring the group by the door, Adrian slid off the bed and grabbed the jeans he’d left on the floor. Slipping them on, he snatched up his Granny’s baking book and left the room.
    The cats scurried out of his way as he approached, moving without a word.
    He needed to bake something.

Chapter Four
    Talan was driving Adrian nuts. His balls were going to fall off before they mated.
    Unlike the lion, Adrian hadn’t gotten off.
    Remembering the scene, Adrian’s cock got hard again. Damn, the man was sexy.
    Frowning, Adrian considered whether he really wanted to mate with the big cat. There was no mistaking the attraction between the two of them, but was it a quick fire attraction or a more lasting emotion?
    Adrian had a lot of experience with the first type and none with the second. Shaking his head, he decided after baking he’d do something easy, maybe find a solution to an unsolvable theorem or barter world peace.
    The worn leather binding of his grandmother’s cookbook calmed him as he stood in the middle of the large kitchen. With the cool ceramic tile beneath his feet soothing his overheated skin, he flipped through the book. His grandmother’s handwriting brought back happy childhood memories as he remembered the elderly woman who’d loved him since the day he was born. Three years after her death, he still missed her and her no nonsense approach to life.
    Picking the next recipe he hadn’t tried, Adrian did a quick survey of the lion’s surprisingly well-stocked kitchen and got to work.
    After some time spent methodically measuring, chopping and mixing, his head was clearer and his heart was no longer racing in his chest. Adrian knew if it was meant to be things would work out between him and Talan and if it wasn’t, he could go back to his family. It helped to have options and a really understanding brother.
    An hour later he was pulling four batches of double chocolate walnut brownies out of the oven.
    The non-baking lions had a set of double ovens.
    Who knew? He had a feeling none of the lions did.
    “That smells good.” The male that had interrupted his mating with Talan, settled cautiously on the other side of the long breakfast bar.

    Adrian glared at the lion shifter as he filled the dishwasher with dirty baking pans. He hated to leave behind dirty dishes.
    “Listen, man. I didn’t know you were doing a wolf sex thing. I just heard my alpha screaming. I can’t go against my instincts.” Adrian nodded but didn’t speak. However, he did put a giant brownie at the bottom of a bowl, added a scoop of gourmet vanilla ice cream he’d found in the back of the freezer and topped it all off with whipped cream.
    “Here you go.”
    “Ooh. I’m forgiven,” Dillon said in a singsong tone. After one bite the man started making loud noises of enjoyment.
    Adrian wondered if the man wasn’t getting enough sex if a sundae could put him into that kind of ecstasy.
    “You can make me brownies anytime,” Dillon said, licking his spoon.
    Adrian’s cell phone vibrated in his pocket, startling him. He’d forgotten it was there.
    “Hello.”
    “How are you doing?” Kade’s voice came over the phone.
    “I’m making brownies.”
    “Shit. Sorry to hear that. Just think you only have five months and twenty-nine days left.” There was a pause on the line and Adrian knew his brother didn’t call only to check on him.
    “What’s going on Kade?”
    The alpha wolf cleared his throat before confessing. “I called to let you know that Olson disappeared. I have a feeling he’s headed your way. Keep an eye out, I don’t trust that wolf.” There was a squeal in the background. “Wait,
