“You said they were jerks and they molded me.”
He winced. “Well, yeah… but…”
I stood, feeling strange and flustered. Why had I told him anything about my past? Since when did I talk about personal crap to anyone? Let alone my archnemesis? He was probably going to spread my sad story all over the place now.
He stood too. “Blade, listen to me. I didn’t mean anything like how you took it. I just misspoke.”
“I should never have told you. You better not breathe a word of this to anyone.” I glowered. “Do you understand me?”
“You’re overreacting.” He chuffed. “What a surprise.”
“I’m not. I just don’t want anyone feeling sorry for me,” I growled, raking a shaky hand through my hair. “That’s why I prefer no one knows.”
“I don’t feel sorry for you.” His jaw was tense.
“You sure?”
“Positive,” he snapped.
I exhaled. “Okay. Then there’s no problem.”
His shoulders relaxed, but he still looked pissed. “Jesus, only we could almost get in a brawl talking about family.”
“I wasn’t that mad.”
He raised his dark brows. “Really? I don’t think you see yourself very clearly.”
“I was just irritated.”
“You were pissed. Don’t kid yourself. I thought you were going to take a swing at me.”
I scowled. “You’re my client. I wouldn’t punch you.”
He smirked. “You mean try? Because I’m sure I can hold my own with you.”
His challenging tone had the wolf in me riled all over again. “Maybe someday when I’m not in charge of your safety we can have a go at each other.”
“Sounds good to me.”
“I’d love to put you in your place.”
“And I’d love for you to try.” His gaze seemed bright, and he licked his lips. “I’d be on top of you so fast your head would spin.”
Why did it feel like we were talking about sex? Why did I always feel like we were one second away from ripping each other’s clothes off lately?
“You’re an idiot,” I grumbled.
“Sure. An idiot who could kick your ass with one hand behind my back.”
“Fuck you.” I couldn’t seem to pull my eyes from his lips, and my crotch felt hot and constricted. It was getting exhausting fighting these bizarre urges. I didn’t understand them, but they were definitely intense.
Feeling overwhelmed, I turned my back on him, and he surprised me when he moved closer, swallowing the distance between us. The hairs on the back of my neck prickled, and his hot breath puffed against my neck. I was light-headed as my wolf overwhelmed me, my arms tingled, and my breathing was elevated. What was he doing? What the hell was happening?
I could feel his confusion radiating off him. I suspected he too was under the power of his wolf. He pushed closer still. “Where do you think you’re going?”
“I’ll go where I want.” I had an internal struggle going on. My omega wanted to submit to him because that was how it was done. But I couldn’t stand him, and I was still uncomfortable about the fact we were both men. Maybe two males fucking wasn’t unusual in our wolf society, but it sure as hell was unusual for me.
“You’re the mouthiest omega I’ve ever met.” He was so close his erection pressed my ass cheeks.
