on cold nights.
    He was standing very still beside the bed and she sensed
that he was watching her. Did he suspect that she was listening? Would he
punish her for eavesdropping? She drew a deep breath and rolled onto her back,
biting her lower lip. She lifted her eyes to his face and the expression there
made her jerk with fear. His eyes had dilated to nearly black and his body was
tense. She scrambled up to her knees, then immediately stretched flat on her
belly, submissive on the wondrously soft cloth that covered the bed, avoiding
his eyes. But the expected pain never came. She lifted her head fearfully to
look at those eyes. And her gaze widened at the amazing sight of the huge bulge
inside the tight blue trousers he wore.
    “Jane…” His voice was strained.
    She looked down and whimpered.
    Gentle hands took the soft cloth and covered her with it
again. She gasped and looked up in shock. He was a strange dark-red color. He’s
very angry! But he smiled slowly and said quietly, “I’ll feel more
comfortable if you keep something over your body, Jane. No one is going to hurt
you.”
    Her body disgusted him? Like it disgusted Jock and the other
males? She drew a breath of relief. He isn’t angry. He was just
disgusted. But unlike the pack males, the feline male didn’t strike out and
send her rolling across the floor. Instead he covered her body so that he
wouldn’t have to look at her pale hairless skin. She wished desperately that
she could manage to shift back to her real self. Maybe he wouldn’t be disgusted
if he saw her in her own form.
    Scratch that.
    He would probably claw me to pieces.
     
    Cal nearly swallowed his tongue when Jane rolled onto her
back and lay naked on his bed, her hair strewn around her head like a mussed
halo and her thighs long and slim, falling apart just enough for him to see her
hair-free sex. Lykos females had no pubic hair? He felt his mouth begin to
water. Her lips trembled as if he terrified her. It took every ounce of strength
he possessed to not drag her down the bed and feast on that utterly delectable
pussy. His cock strained against his zipper as if it had a mind of its own, and
the female gave a strangled cry and flung herself down in front of him on the
bed in a totally submissive posture.
    He did the only thing he could in the circumstances. He
grabbed the comforter and flipped it over her naked body and sent a swift
silent call to Hallie.
    He heard the door open quietly. It had taken her only a
moment to come. He glanced at her thankfully and said a trifle shakily, “Um…can
you show her how to get dressed?”
    “I’m sure you could have helped her get clothes on. I
thought you were going to be her big helper.” She shot him a wry glance.
    Her sarcasm wasn’t lost on him but he was grateful for her
presence. She turned to Jane and said quietly, “If you are going to live here,
even for a short while, you must wear something to cover your body when you
can’t shift. We live among humans and we blend in with them this way.” She picked
up a sleeveless dress that looked suspiciously like the sundress she’d worn a
lot when she had been pregnant. Cal watched her as she demonstrated how to pull
it on over her own head, then she handed it to Jane. That seemed simple enough.
    Jane looked at it, then glanced at him as if for his
permission.
    He cleared his throat and nodded. He watched as she sat up
and dragged the soft yellow material over her head and wriggled into it,
looking down at it as it settled over her breasts and pooled about her hips.
Her sweet feminine flesh remained uncovered and he said roughly, “Stand up and
pull it down over the rest of you.” He wanted to smack Hallie’s ass as he heard
her choking laugh.
    Jane slipped off the bed and obeyed, and when she stood
there wearing the bright sunny shift with her eyes wide and questioning, he
prayed he would have the strength and the brains to handle this one little
Lykos. Hallie cleared her throat and
