Evie’s back hit the mattress, and Parker came down over her. She couldn’t believe that he had carried her all the way to the bedroom, let alone stripped them both naked in record time – that only happened in movies.
It was a hot night made hotter still by the adrenaline and excitement running through her veins like molten lava, and sheliked it. She couldn’t resist running her hands across his rock-hard muscles and knowing he was her man – fate’s hand of intervention or not; he was hers now.
“Hold it!” Evie squealed for lack of breath and a genuine desire to stop, she was conflicted, but she needed to think straight.
Parker looked a little dazed and confused when he pushed away and looked down at her, and if she wasn’t a little panicked, she might have chuckled. “Too fast?” Parker rushed out before swallowing hard and trying to push his wolf into the background – the beast was baying to lay claim to their mate, and it was no easy task to yank him back into his cage.
“Jennifer!” she breathed out.
It was Parker’s turn to panic as he scanned the room for the little person. “Where?”
“Not here!” Evie said with disbelief.
“Oh, thank god,” Parker said, trying to calm his racing heart.
“Der,” Evie said, now seeing the funny side of it.
Parker ran a trembling hand through his wayward hair and sighed with relief. “She likes me…”
“She liked puffed wheat cereal last week, but she won’t go anywhere near it this week,” Evie said.
“And I’m the puffed wheat cereal?” Parker asked, offering her a wolfish grin that only made her want his lips back on hers – pronto.
“That works for me.”
Parker frowned. “She loves my wolf, and in time, she’ll love me…”
“Time.”
“Time?”
Evie grimaced. “Maybe we should give her that time before we…?” She shrugged.
“Time we have. I’m not going anywhere,” Parker said. “She’s going to be safe with me.”
“I know,” Evie said, remembering how Parker had rushed to save Jennifer from the ship toppling over. The more she thought about it, the more she loved him for it. “And if anything were to happen to me…”
“Nothing is going to happen…”
“But, if it did…”
“I would be here for her…”
“I’d want her to go to True…” Evie said at the same time and then grimaced again.
“True?” Parker asked, scowling. “What’d I do?”
“No magic,” she said. “She needs a witch…”
“And it takes a village, or pack, to raise a child,” Parker said.
Evie smiled; she couldn’t help herself. “Tampons,” she said, tossing it out there and watching as he slowly absorbed what she was saying and screwed up his face.
“Which is where the whole, it takes a pack thing comes into play.” He looked impressed with himself, and she had to chuckle.
“Fine…”
