outnumbered,” he said, stepping back and not looking away from Cade.
    Outnumbered? Lili glanced around, and that’s when she saw well over a dozen men standing on either side of her. Some were fully shifted into large wolves of different colors while others glared at the intruders. The battle line was drawn, and if Cyrus stayed the odds were against him.
    The men left in the time it took her to blink. Kevin stepped up to Cade. “We’ll go make sure he stays away from the cabins.”
    Cade nodded, turned, and looked down at her.
    She wanted to open her mouth and thank him for coming to her rescue, but the vein throbbing on his cheek kept her quiet. Another shiver racked her body, and before she knew it, she was being carried back to the cabin in Cade’s big, warm arms.
    This time she curled her arms around his neck and dropped her head onto his shoulder. She was too tired to argue. The adrenaline high from running and the escape attempt seemed to have evaporated. All she wanted to do was eat, take a shower, and lay down for a nap. She was sure that once all that took place she’d be able to figure a way out of this situation.
    Lili jerked awake when she lost the heat from Cade’s arms. She glanced up to meet his worried gaze.
    “Are you cold? Does your leg hurt?”
    She shook her head. “I don’t think it was a deep cut, but I really want to take a shower. And I’m hungry.” She hoped that his anger didn’t transfer into the keeping her from eating, because she was starving.
    “I had someone grab your bags from your car.” He pointed to a table off to a corner with her suitcase sitting on top of it. “If you promise to not run off again, I’ll get you something to eat while you shower.”
    Heat crowded her face. But it wasn’t like she’d agreed to stay with him. At this point she’d settle for just a phone to call Jaylin to let her know she wasn’t dead in a ditch.
    “I agree to not run off, if you agree to let me use a phone to make a call.” She could see he was ready to deny her request. “You have to understand, my family was waiting for me. I didn’t show up, and they’re probably worried half to death.” She held her breath and watched him think.
    “Fine, but not until tomorrow.”
    Not looking to argue any further, she walked past him to the bathroom. As she reached for the door, he grabbed her by the arm and turned her to face him. He cupped her face with his hands, lowered his head, and kissed her. Not the rough, wild, desperate one as before. This was a slow, tender meeting of their mouths. A kiss so sweet she wanted to treasure the feelings he brought to the surface.
    Their breaths and tongues mingled in a wicked, sexy mating that made her whimper in the back of her throat. She lifted her hands and tunneled them through the soft strands of his hair. Heat curled into a tight ball in her womb and spread outward. Moisture gathered between her thighs, making her slick and ready for him.
    He pulled back, their faces just inches from each other. Both panted. She watched his gray eyes glow. She knew the wildness lay beneath, ready to come out and play.
    “Have your shower,” he said in that deep, gravelly voice that turned her on. “I’ll get you some food.” He lowered his head and then nuzzled her lips with his. “No leaving.” He reminded her.
    He left the bedroom while she stood there like a lovesick fool. It took her a moment to snap out of her kiss-induced idiocy and pull her pajamas out of her case. Why the heck hadn’t she brought any of her naughty lingerie? Because she was supposed to be at a family wedding, not frolicking in the woods with the Big Bad Wolf in an X-rated version of Little Red Riding Hood. So all she had was a pair of snowman pajamas and some fuzzy bunny slippers to go with them.
    “Real fucking sexy, Lili.”
    At least she packed her toiletries. She would be nice and clean in case there was to be more nookie with sexy Cade. She stripped in the bathroom and
