Seconds later, she screamed his name and his dick exploded. When they climaxed at the
same time, it was more powerful than anything he d ever experienced. To be with his
mate at this moment would be forged in his memory forever.
Spent, Selena lay on top of him, her breathing rapid. A moment later, she rolled off of
him and rushed into the kitchen.
He jumped up, fearful something had happened. Selena?
Drawers banged. When he joined her in the kitchen, she was wiping herself clean and
didn t even glance his way. I have to go.
Jackson wanted to comfort her, but from the way she was looking around as if she d
been spooked, he let her be. Touching her now might break that tentative bond they d
formed. He clasped a hand on his neck and rubbed his thumb across the small puncture
wounds. His joy was dashed as her behavior turned manic. She was acting as if the
hospital had called.
He followed her into the living room. You want to talk about it?
No.
He glanced at her cell she d left on the table, but it wasn t lit. She slipped on her
slacks then jammed her feet into her shoes. She quickly donned the rest of her clothes,
saying nothing. He d give anything to see into her mind. Are you leaving?
Yes. I have to. My mom needs me.
Really? How did she know? Do you want me to come with you?
She whipped around to face him, looking more scared now than when he d found her
at the hospital. No. No. I can do this alone.
With that she was out the door.
Once more, his mate had left him speechless.

JACKSON HAD CALLED Selena several times the next day, but she didn t answer. He suspected
she was at the hospital with her mom and hadn t turned on her phone. As much as he
wanted to speak with her about the bite from last night, he decided after a long,
sleepless night, that he needed to give her time to come to grips with how her life might
have changed because of that one action.
Many times he d wondered if she d even been aware of what she d done. In the heat
of the moment, her instincts might have kicked in, forcing her to bite him. As much as he
wanted to be mated with her, he yearned for a deeper, more loving relationship.
The next time they were together, he had no doubt their bodies would combust
around each other. The yearning to complete the cycle and fully mate would grow
stronger by the day until the mating was done. All it would take would be one bite from
him, but he wasn t sure that would be fair to her.
They needed to talk soon. As the time for his shift drew near, he dressed in the shirt
she d fixed, and his heart turned heavy for her. His mate was suffering and there was
little he could do right now. For her, he d stay away, but he didn t know for how long.
Once he arrived at work, his gaze shot to Selena s desk. She claimed she hadn t
missed a day of work in three years, but he wouldn t be surprised if today was the first.
Her mom seemed to be more important to her than anyone, which only added to the
many reasons why she was the woman for him. When he d lived in DC, the women he
dated were more interested in themselves or his wealth. Selena had none of those traits.
His body reacted just thinking about her, and he wondered if she was going crazy with
need, too. He bet she didn t know that once the mating process began that the urges
would grow fast and hard until they were completed.
Jackson tried to look busy, but if anyone was paying attention, they d see him glance
at her desk all too often. He remembered how serious she always looked, and he would
give anything if she were there now. Being close to her and not able to touch her,
however, would be pure torture.
After thirty minutes without Selena being there, he couldn t take it any longer and
went in search of answers. Jackson stepped into his boss s office. Chief?
Hardy looked up. What s on your mind as if I can t guess?
That made sense. Selena wasn t at her desk and partners were supposed to have
each other s back. He didn t want to let on that he was personally involved with her, as
that might affect her career or his. Selena hasn t come into work, sir.
He nodded. Her mother fell and broke her leg. Because she ll need help
rehabilitating, Selena asked for a leave of absence.
A leave of absence instead of using her vacation time implied she d be gone for days if
not weeks. Did she say for how long?
Chief Hardy leaned back in his seat. Don t know, but what I do know is that Selena
probably could use some support.
The man was giving relationship advice now? I ll do what I can, but she can be
stubborn. [ Pobierz całość w formacie PDF ]
