Untamed Fate (Magic Side: Wolf Bound 2)

my shoulders. Fortunately, Sam lived on a lower floor, so the errand had been

just a quick elevator ride for her.

“A lot of werewolves live here,” she explained. “We like living together

and near the alpha. Plus, there’s a rooftop pool and bar and good amenities.

Though my place is about the size of Jaxson’s closets.”

“I pay you better than that,” he grumbled.

“Yes. But I like my view.”

If it was anything like Jaxson’s, I wouldn’t blame her. His windows

looked out over a vast green park and Lake Michigan.

I was doing my best to pay attention to anything but Jaxson. He looked

good in the morning light. And as pissed as I was, my eyes couldn’t seem to

stop flicking his way. God, why was I so attracted to this man?

Maybe because he’s hot and has a body I’d like to—

Fuck.

Cheeks blazing, I glanced around the apartment. White tiled floors, black

cabinets, and chrome fixtures. The refrigerator was giant, and the glass lights

that hung overhead were modern and simple. I knew Jaxson had money, but I

hadn’t expected his place to be so…chic.

I would have gladly murdered someone to have his bed and those

amazing sheets. I could have nestled down in them forever.

Although I’d been too panicked to recognize or relish it, Jaxson’s scent

had been completely wrapped around me, and I regretted getting out of bed

so quickly. It was easy to imagine the friction of my skin moving against

those silken sheets. Heat pooled between my legs, and I crossed them.

Holy shit, Savy, now is not the time.

Jaxson tensed and cleared his throat, and I noticed that Sam was shaking

her head as she piled the greasy bacon onto three plates.

Goddamned werewolves couldn’t let a girl have a private thought.

You’re one of them now.

My stomach twisted, and I buried my moment of desire with frustration.
