Harmony stared back at him suspiciously.
"Why all the questions? What does this have to do with the fact that a mate is a weakness and I'm not willing to play the sex kitten for you?"
"Sex kitten?" Wicked amusement lit his eyes then. "I hadn't thought of that one, but I like the idea. I like it a whole lot. "
"You are not making sense. " She held her hand up to halt the words his lips were parting for. "These myriad little subjects of yours are not going together well, Lance. "
"Hey, you brought up the sex kitten thing, not me. It just happened to interest me, that's all. Tell me. " His brows lifted then lowered suggestively. "How does a Breed sex kitten do it?"
"With claws?" she suggested in irritation.
His lips pursed as his eyes gleamed with playful lust.
"I like claws," he whispered as he raised his hand to rub absently at his shoulder, the area next to his neck. The exact area where she had bit him. "You could come over here and show me how it's done. "
She actually moved to go to him. Harmony stared down at her feet in alarm when she took that first step; then she stopped and glared back at him furiously. She hissed.
Without thought, without realizing the sound was moving through her chest, she really hissed. She had never hissed in her life. Not the catlike, growling hiss that came out of her mouth now.
She stared back at Lance in shock.
"Keep that up and you're going to make me come. " His voice had lowered, thickening with arousal as his eyes gleamed with heated hunger.
"You are insane. "
"I'm so fucking horny I'm about to come in my jeans just listening to you hiss. " He grunted in irritation. "Insanity is probably closer than you think it is. " The pain of her arousal before the doctor had begun the hormone treatments had been horrible. Did he suffer too? She frowned, drawing in the scent of the room deeper than she had allowed herself to this point.
The smell of male arousal was intoxicating and thick. It permeated her senses, rushed through her brain, and sent her heartbeat to a thundering speed as she felt her mouth fill again with that strangely sweet taste.
"Does it hurt?" she whispered, fearing the answer. Knowing the answer.
"No, baby, it doesn't hurt. " Lance sighed heavily. "It's just aggravating as hell. " And he was lying. Why was he lying when telling the truth could guilt her into giving him what he wanted? He could have easily played the wronged male and had her in his bed hours ago.
"Then why aren't you moving?" she asked him then. "You've been in that same position for more than an hour. Sit up. "
She could see his erection outlined by his jeans, pressing hard against the material.
"I think I'll just lie right here for a while. " He chuckled instead. "Did I mention I'm a little low on rest myself?"
He hadn't slept in two days, not enough to matter. He had watched over her, protected her when she couldn't protect herself.
Harmony licked her lips nervously. "When I was wounded, the men who fought off the Coyotes found me a week later. I was very ill. "
His gaze sharpened on her.
"They had known then about the Coyotes. They hunted them; I wasn't certain why. " She hadn't known then, though she knew now. "They nursed me back to health and protected me. They never told me exactly why they had no scent. But sometimes, if I'm in trouble, they know it, and they show up. "
"Does Jonas know about them?"
"The information contained in the Breed database on me isn't everything the Council had," she revealed. "I don't know why Jo
nas has hidden the files on the few times the Coyotes actually managed to capture me, but those reports aren't in there. Just as the reports reveal that each time I was captured, the same two men rescued me. "
"Who were they?"
She glanced away for a second before turning back to him. "I can't reveal their names to you, Lance. Their lives…"
He held his hand up. "I don't want names. Why do they watch you, Harmony? What do they want? What does Jonas want?"
