going to have to do better than that, if you’re going to work for my parents’ paper. People like description,” she said.
    Well that explained why Molly could do or say whatever she wanted. If her folks owned the paper, she had no fear of getting fired.
    Molly clasped her hands against her chest. “What’s his body like? Is he fit? Fat? Thin? Somewhere in between?”
    Jenna pictured Aidan’s wide shoulders and flat stomach. Fit didn’t begin to describe his banging body. Something inside her fluttered. Something she promptly squashed before it could take form.
    “Don’t keep me in suspense,” Molly whined.
    Jenna cleared her suddenly dry throat. “Yeah, he’s in good shape.”
    “I knew it!” She grinned. “He sounds dreamy.”
    “I hadn’t noticed,” Jenna lied. For some reason, it bothered her that Molly was so interested in Aidan. It shouldn’t matter. It wasn’t like she and Aidan had any connection beyond his vehicle. “I’ll see you tomorrow.” Jenna rushed to the door, hoping she didn’t follow.
    “Where are you going?” Molly asked.
    “To my motel. I’m beat.” The lie slipped easily from Jenna’s lips. She couldn’t exactly say that she planned to sleep in the SUV. Businesses rarely employed homeless people.
    She left quickly before Molly could ask any more questions. The little bell chimed loudly behind her as she stepped onto the sidewalk. Jenna sucked in the fresh air to clean the mental filth Paul had left in her mind. She walked, needing to get away.
    Maybe you had to be scheming or insane to do the job. If that were the case, Jenna wouldn’t last long.
    She found a fast food restaurant to dine in and used their bathroom to get cleaned up. Jenna got a few strange looks when she came out of the restroom with a wet head, but no one said anything.
    She waited until the Gazette closed, then walked back to the Rover. Jenna studied the navigation system to see what was around.
    A campground located five miles down the road looked like her best bet. They tended to be cheap and rarely asked questions.
    Jenna drove in silence, her body and mind weary from the day’s events. She put aside Molly’s ridiculous ideas and thought about everything Paul Welling had told her.
    Was it true that an interview with Aidan could fetch big money? Could she afford to pass up the opportunity, if there was even a remote chance that was the case?
    The truth was no, she could not. Paul might be willing to settle for something scandalous about Aidan, but Jenna wouldn’t. She couldn’t. And she prayed that her desperation never reached that point.
    Jenna pulled into the campground and found an out-of-the-way spot to park and settle in for the night. She grabbed a jacket from her tote, then climbed into the backseat.
    With a click of a button, Jenna locked the doors, then tried to get comfortable. The Rover had a lot more space in the backseat than the Bug, which was probably why she found it so difficult.
    She was used to being cramped. The tight fit made her feel protected, even though it was an illusion. Jenna plucked a shirt out of her bag and rolled it up, creating a makeshift pillow.
    Thanks to Molly’s ravings and Paul’s veiled threats, sleep didn’t come easily.

    Aidan couldn’t get Jenna out of his mind. Her lilac scent lingered in the parlor and clung to his skin. He shook his head and snorted, but it did little to alleviate the aroma.
    He walked into Robert’s office. “I’m going to my room to grab a shower. Send up the next Were on the list,” he said, more gruffly than he’d intended.
    Robert nodded. “Right away.”
    Hair still damp, Aidan stood on his balcony inhaling the night, while he waited for the woman to arrive.
    There was a soft knock at the door.
    “Come in,” he said without turning around. He heard the woman enter the room.
    “Alpha, you called for me.” Her sultry voice whispered over his skin.
    Aidan tore his gaze away from the view of the
