around
to the other side of the round corner booth so Chase could slide in
next to her. She glared at the twins, but it was too late. They
both giggled and shrugged. Sam motioned for Nicole to sit next to
her, but Nicole slid onto the opposite side. The corners of Chase’s
lips turned up with amusement. He took the place next to her in the
booth, and the other man slid in next to Nicole.
    Sam smiled at Chase but could feel the heat
rising in her cheeks. Why couldn’t she get ahold of herself? He was
just a guy. Granted, he was the first guy her wolf had ever shown
any interest in, and it was making her horny and agitated.
    “Hello again,” Chase said softly. His
velvety voice sent tremors through her already aroused body. She
turned and met his mischievous gaze. He knew I was here. This meeting is not a coincidence. It had to be Maggie.
Traitor.
    Even though she was a little upset at
Maggie, she was superbly pleased to be rubbing elbows with Chase
Michaels.
    “Maggie told you I was here.”
    Guilt registered in his eyes, and all
conversation at the table halted. All eyes were on Chase.
    “Actually she told me.” The other man raised
his hand.
    Sam glanced toward him in confusion. She’d
never met this other man. Why would he be looking for her? “Who are
you?” She narrowed her eyes and waited.
    “I’m Chris Michaels. Chase is my brother and
our little sister, Maggie, is good friends with—”
    “Oh my God!” Sam cut him off. “Your sister
is the other Maggie!”
    Chris nodded, and Chase shifted in his seat.
“How do you know our sister?” Chase asked. His deep voice stroked
the chords of her soul.
    Sam leaned back in her seat and laughed. “I
went to school with the Maggies. We all graduated together.” She
glanced over at Chase. “How much older are you than your sister? I
never saw either of you at the house.”
    Chase flushed bright red and coughed. “The
house! You were at my parents’ house?”
    “Yes,” Sam answered with a smirk, loving the
fact he was so surprised. “Your mom makes the best lemon cake on
the planet.” She licked her lips and stifled a sigh when his gaze
clamped onto her mouth.
    “That she does.” Chase smiled, and she could
tell he was forcing himself to relax. He laid an arm behind her
along the back of the booth. “Chris and I are only five years
apart, but Maggie appeared decades later and surprised Mom and Dad.
Chris and I had already lived out of the house for a long
time.”
    Sam nodded. Her wolf had calmed a bit since
Chase sat down next to her. His nearness seemed to be holding her
at bay for now. It was a wonder, though, that she herself wasn’t
dragging him from the booth to have her way with him right now. She
wanted to strip him out of every stitch he was wearing. Dampness
soaked her panties, and the surface of her skin tingled with
arousal.
    “ I’m okay with that plan.” Her wolf
snickered in the back of her mind.
    Shut up! I am not having my way with a man I
only met once for five minutes in an airport.
    “ But we need him to agree to be our
choice in your mating hunt or we might get stuck with
who-knows-who.”
    Do you really think my parents will allow
it?
    “ The noble bylaws state that any male
wolf has the right to participate in a hunt for a female.”
    Sam sighed. Why would he even want to
fight for me? There are plenty of women he could have without a
fight.
    “ You don’t give yourself enough credit,
Samantha.”
    Sam rubbed her leg against his and felt a
jolt of desire. She licked her lips and bit back a sigh. Chase
leaned in close. His breath tickled her ear.
    “Would you like to go somewhere else?” His
lips nuzzled her neck, and she shuddered. He smelled so good. How
could she have never met him in all the years she’d hung out at his
sister’s house? Where had he been?
    Silence claimed the table. All eyes were
watching Chase’s blazon display of affection. Her cheeks heated
instantly. In fact, it her whole body was warm. She took a
