But the only thing that moved was my hand. Surrounded by her intoxicating scent of warm apples, my wolf was going nuts. "Touch her he argued.

What if she woke up and found me! I'd look like a creep, I argued.

Tell her that she screamed and you came to see her if she was fine. That's what you've been doing all past nights, Remus suggested.

I growled at him. 'No that's what you've been doing. You've been forcing me to shift and run to her at every darnn opportunity over the past nightst
