over her breasts, she lifted her chin. “You knew what I was.”
    He nodded. “Dominic told me.” A tiny white lie wouldn’t hurt.
    “And you’re not scared?” Doubt reflected in her gaze.
    “No. More like intrigued.” He ran a hand over her silky-smooth shoulder.
    She shivered in response to the gentle caress. “I’ve never been with . . . a human.”
    Good thing he wasn’t human. Removing his blazer, he draped it over her body. She pushed her arms through the too-long sleeves and stood to button it. The hem reached her thighs, enough to cover the pertinent parts but not enough to hide the fact she wore nothing beneath.
    She frowned. “He didn’t take the car.”
    Luke lifted an eyebrow. “What?”
    Gina pointed over his shoulder at his Lexus. “Why would he steal your keys and forget to take the car?”
    A harrowing suspicion took form. “He was nervous. Perhaps it was his first armed robbery, and he bungled it.”
    Gina shook her head. “He knew what type of car you drove, so he obviously staked you out. That’s not the mark of a newbie.”
    She was right. He’d had more than just keys to his car on the ring. Was someone trying to get their hands on L-12? He would have to alert security. But first, he had to get Gina home.
    “Come. Let’s get you home before someone sees how delectable you look.” He gathered up her torn clothes and under things and handed them to her.
    Her cheeks reddened as she took the pile from him. “Thank you. But how are we getting home exactly?”
    “Spare key.” Luke led her to the car. He crouched down and retrieved the key he kept hidden behind a back tire. He unlocked and opened the passenger door for Gina. She climbed in, careful to keep her legs together to prevent a peep show. He chuckled at the acrobatics she performed to maintain her modesty. “Would you feel better if I promise not to look?”
    She giggled. “You promised just dinner as well, right? So forgive me if I don’t believe you.”
    “True enough.” His cock ached with the knowledge that beneath his blazer, she was completely naked. His mate sat inches away. It was pure hell. The wolf inside him howled with the need to take her. He forced air in and out of his nostrils. The scent of her drove him wild.
    He put the key in the ignition, but didn’t crank the engine. He gripped the steering wheel instead. The leather wrinkled beneath his palms as he squeezed. Holy shit, he wanted her. His vision sharpened. His skin tingled with the need to do something. Shift. Fuck. Run. Anything to rid his body of the excess energy flowing through it.
    “Luke?” Gina touched his bicep. “What’s going on?”
    Gritting his teeth, he forced his hands to unclench. He waited a couple seconds until he was sure the stark need on his face was hidden before he turned to look at her. Big mistake. In the glow from the street lamps, her tousled red hair and glimpses of skin sent visions of lovemaking through his mind.
    Gina licked her lips nervously. “Do you know the way to Dominic’s apartment?”
    Still struggling for control, he gave a jerky nod. “Yes.”
    The engine turned over easily as he cranked it. Pulling out of the driveway, he turned south, toward the apartment. The hardest thing he’d ever done was deliver her safely home without touching her again.
     
     
     

Chapter Five
    Dominic’s expression when she walked in the door would’ve been comical had it not been directed at her.
    “What the hell happened to your clothes?”
    Shuffling inside, she tugged on the hem of Luke’s blazer to keep her dignity intact. “There was a bit of a mishap.”
    “I’ll say.” Dominic tossed down the remote and approached her. His gaze zeroed in on the blazer. “Is that Luke’s?”
    She lifted her chin. Damned interfering family members. “What if it is?”
    Dominic’s tall, lean body bristled. “Look, I’m not trying to pry into your personal business.”
    “Yes, you are.” She brushed past him. “You’re
