and her face now looked flush. The cloud of desire he saw in her eyes had to reflect in his own.  
    “What I’ve been thinking about since I met you.” He tipped his head down and covered her mouth with his own for a kiss he knew would sear him to the bone. And he was right.
    He wrapped his arm around her shoulder and pressed her closer so nothing at all stood between them. Not even air. He teased her lips with his tongue until she softened and opened to him. For long moments he simply drank at the sweet honey of her mouth while teasing every inch he touched.  
    The animal inside him pushed him hard and Gage pushed back, refusing to let the wildness take over. To do so now would only scare her. She needed more time than he could afford to give her, but he’d damn sure give her all he could.
    He nipped her lip and seemingly woke something inside her as well. Her hands grabbed his shirt and twisted the fabric erratically. It took an additional burst of restraint not to whip both their clothes free so he could rub against her naked. He groaned at the idea of her naked curves plastered against his muscles.  
    Sienna jerked away, planting her hands against his chest and pushing with a surprising amount of force. She must have expected resistance as it proved too much and she started to fall. Gage tightened his hand at her hip and steadied her.  
    “You should not have done that,” she said, touching her lips gingerly. He imagined she felt the imprint on hers as much as he did his. Although it wasn’t just his lips that were feeling it. His body buzzed from his head to his toes. And if she happened to look down she’d find more than either of them bargained for.  
    Gage didn’t know what to think about this turn of events. Before the recent addition to his family he’d given almost no thought to finding or taking a mate. Even with Kitty in residence and her hormones kicking his ass, he still didn’t think about a mate. Maybe he’d given a thought or two to what it would be like to have cubs of his own, but he didn’t take any of that seriously.  
    He needed sex. An outlet for the build up and frustration of being in such close proximity to a fertile female shifter. That’s it. Simple. All he needed in life was friends, family, plenty of sex and the freedom to shift when he wanted.  
    Then he walked into a bar and came face to face with something entirely different.  
    He was about to tell her that kissing was the least of what he planned to do to her when the buzz of an incoming text message on his cell phone broke the silence.  
    “Sorry. I gotta check this.” He pulled out the phone and read the message.  

    No safe haven until I get more information. Nikki and her unborn cub are the priority. Call me. ASAP!

    The wolf inside him growled. Somehow his inner animal had already grown possessive of the woman currently edging her way around the dining table to get away. She wouldn’t get far.
    “I need to make a phone call and I’m not getting strong enough reception out here.” He held up his phone and moved around the room checking the bars.  
    “There’s a small store at the top of the hill about a mile from here. In the opposite direction in which we arrived. They might have a phone or maybe even service. Not as many trees near there.”
    “I don’t want to leave you here unguarded, but I do need to make this call.”
    She rolled her eyes. “I doubt anyone is going to find us all the way out here, but just in case they do, my daddy has a shot gun in the back bedroom.”
    “Smart daddy.”
    She smiled, dipping her head.  
    “You go get the gun and I’ll run to the store. Don’t open the blinds or the door until you hear me return.”
    “Yes, sir,” she sighed. “I wanted to change anyway.” She was already retreating to the bedroom and he had to fight the urge to stalk her. Her scent still filled his head, wreaking havoc on his body and the idea of her taking off her clothes, even to just
