I clutch my belly in shock, whirling around to locate Sinclair. He's leaning in the doorway of our bedroom, his powerful arms crossed over his chest. Sinclair's glowing green eyes pierce straight through me, a foreboding expression on his handsome face as he waits for my answer.

She flops onto her back and rubs herself against the ground, attempting to entice her mate. I can feel Sinclair's wolf fighting the urge to give in, reasserting his disapproval through our bond. The massive creature towers above my wolf in our minds' eye, his canine features hungry, fierce and utterly irresistible.

Sinclair's free hand travels across my waist and settles over my navel.

Sinclair chuckles darkly, claiming my lips for an extended interlude that sparks fire in my veins. "Don't make me ask Philippe where you've been, little wolf." He warns when we part, "it will only make things worse."

"I just went to see Roger.” I shrug, batting my lashes and trying to look innocent, "I'm sorry if I worried you."
