QUINN

Startling with a whimper, she turns her flawless features my way. The pout of her deliciously pink lips rounding out in surprise. “Quinn,” she gushes, relief brightering her wickedly hued eyes. One dainty hand laws into my upper thigh and her body presses into me reflexively. A tremble rises and falls from her chest as her eyelashes fluffer low and wanton. Noticing her scandalously placed hand, she twitches, embarrassed, “Oh shit Sorry! My bad.”

Before she can remove said hand from my leg, I cover it with my own. Locking her fingers in place, I sent her a pointed look. “Don’t be,” I commanded. Don’t you dare let me go, Mitle fire sprite.

The mate bond is said to be a powerful thing on both sides. Whether you are human or wolf.

Now, I don’t know what Charlie has on her and personally, I do not see match, but who knows? Maybe the more head forehead, beak bumping Charlie is hung like a moose and we’ve already seen that he has a sensitive side, so… Some ladies love that shit, causedon’t know, it’s the inside that counts… mmkay… right. Exactly.

I think I’m just going to have to outright ask her. Like… right now.

Settling a closed fist on the table in front of me, I squeeze and release it as many times as I need. It’s a sort of nervous tick that I have when I’m pushing myself to do something uncomfortable, which I am, about to do. But before I can get the question past my lips, Charlie’s eyes bulge and he begins to fidget.

Scowling at me with open disdain he asks, “What the hell are you? Like bodybuilder or

something?”

“Something,” I say coldly, meeting the warning in his gaze with one of my own. Oh yeah, he’s in love with her.
