Wild Night (2 page)

Six a.m.!

Shit. His shift started at six-fifteen. Sliding carefully out of bed and
soothing Evie with a stroking hand when she complained, he pulled the comforter
back over her, then thrust his feet into his boots. About to leave, he
remembered his promise and scribbled Evie an I.O.U. on the notepad atop the card
table she used as her nightstand.

Eight hours later, he came off shift and walked into his room to find Evie
waiting for him. Her panties were peach colored this time and just as tiny. In
her hand was his I.O.U.. She held it up between two fingers, smiled. “I’ve come
to collect.”

Someone freaking loved
him
, Tai thought, locking the door and grabbing her around the waist to
lift her up against his aroused body. Laughing, she kissed him, her arms tight
around his neck and her trust an aphrodisiac nothing could beat. There wasn’t a
lot of conscious thought after that, just Tai and Evie loving one another. Two
wolves growing into their skins...and toward each other.
