“Dante, please trust me. This is going to work. I believe in your strength and ability to heal and lead. You must believe in myabilities.”
I held up a hand. “I can see your aura now, the angry red and the powerful silver, and the wounded lavender. Earl tore into your left flank there. It’s pulsing red and lavender. It still hurts, even though Alex stitchedit.”
The wolfblinked.
“Go back and hide. I know what I’mdoing.”
The wolf considered, but nudged meagain.
Okay, time to compromise. “I promise, if this doesn’t work out, I’ll go into the house and make my way through the basement tunnel the bunker and stay there. Ipromise.”
Dante licked his lips. Nodded. The black wolf retreated into thebushes.
High-pitched yelps sounded, and came closer. I saw a smaller gray wolf, distinctive black markings on his pelt, race by the butterfly plants.Alex!
He was swifter than Earl, though larger. Soon Earl crashed into the garden, his pelt coated in blood, his teeth bared. The metallic smell of death clung to him, nearly making meretch.
He sniffed around, clearly looking for Alex. The aggressive look turned to confusion as he caught the scent of what Alex had told me was copious amounts of a special perfume for wolf shifters calledFemale inHeat.
A scientist friend of Dante’s had developed it to inflame the lust of mated males to help them impregnate theirmates.
Earl already was in testosterone-laden blood lust, which could quickly turn to ordinary lust. At least that’s what I’d seen from male shifters. I hoped the gamble I was about to take wouldwork.
I paced more, seeing the wolf out of the corner of my eye. And then I moaned, rubbing my hands across mybreasts.
“Damn, I’m so horny I could die,” I sangout.
Earl stopped short in his tracks. Maybe he was a wolf, but he was also human, and there was no mistaking the message Isent.
The wolf growled as he stared atme.
“Earl?” I stared back at him. “Is that you? I tried to get to the front gate by dawn, but that bastard Dante locked me up. I managed to free myself only when the raidstarted.”
Forgive me, big guy, but I have to make this soundconvincing.
“I’m so fucking horny now. I’m going into heat. I need to fuck.Now.”
I removed my T-shirt and stepped out of myjeans.
His aura turned from aggressive gray and silver, showing thick tendrils of lustyred.
Unsnapping my bra, I tossed it aside, and slowly stroked my nipples. “You like this? It can be yours. I want you, Earl. I’ve always wanted you, but it was Dante who made me denyyou.”
And then I tugged off my panties, standing before the blood-soaked alpha wolf stark naked. With all my strength, I summoned courage and sat on the bench, spreading my legswide.
Knowing he could smellme.
Knowing it would drive himwild.
To crank him up further, I touched myself between the legs. “Ummm, I’m so fucking in need right now. I need a real male, a hard male like you, Earl. A male who will give me a baby. I’m so fuckingready.”
Earl remained still,growling.
So I put on a show for him as I continued to touch myself. I raised my hips into the air,moaning.
Then I stopped and looked him straight in theeyes.
“Dante’s off somewhere, injured and dying. He won’t bother us anymore, I promise. I want you, Earl. Do you want to mate with me? I can give you a lifetime of pleasure and those babies you need. Lots ofbabies.”
