have pouring out of his body. Still sleeping, she responded by writhing deliciously against the hardness of his body. Both were trapped in that seductive space between the gray clouds of sleep and the bright light of wakefulness. Half-awake, he wrapped one arm around her and tried to shake the sleep from his brain.

    Lightning in a snowstorm. Katie awoke with her body on fire, imprisoned by a wall of man-flesh against her. The large, rough hands that held her fast sent painful impulses of lust along her nerves to her clit. She was on the verge of imploding if she did not get what she craved. She needed the large pulsing cock that was now rubbing against the thin fabric of her panties, demanding entrance. A palpable heat, hotter than lava, suffused her senses as she rolled over to face him. She sank her tongue into his mouth and ran her hands over the hard planes of his back muscles. As she tasted him deeply, she lowered her hands to grab his ass and push herself into him with as much force as she could muster.
    Now a little more awake, she groaned in ecstasy, and then suddenly she was wide awake. What the hell? This man should not be able to move with his injuries!
    “Oh my God…please…stop. We have to stop!” She spoke in a husky whisper, trying halfheartedly to push him away. A part of her mind shouted, Are you nuts?

    Forced fully awake by her thoughts and by the low growl that came out of the back of her throat, David’s head snapped back. His gaze met her huge, startled golden eyes. Thoughts careened through his mind. What was he doing?
    He rolled away from her and rose to his bare feet, his naked erection standing tall, while she sprawled amid the blankets, trying to catch her breath. He sucked in huge gasps of air, pausing a moment to get his inner animal under control. With a silent howl of frustration, his wolf self went back into its metaphysical cave. Pain seared through his head, and he reached up to finger the rapidly fading scars on the back of his skull.
    “What the hell happened? What am I doing here?” he growled, his deep Scottish burr made all the more thicker by his nervousness. He tried not to think about the consequences if she had seen him going through the Change. There were other wolves that would kill her to keep their secret, especially with the recent events that had inflamed the Were community. What was left of his clan had a strict code of honor, and he feverishly prayed his secret was safe as he examined his tenant, whom he had come dangerously close to ravishing. He was shaken to the core. His body had never responded to a woman with such passion, and it took all of his control to not throw her back down on the floor and take her by force, something he had never done before and damned well would not start doing now.

    Katie arose from her crouch on the floor to stand fearlessly in front of him, breasts still heaving underneath her flannel nightshirt, brows knit together in annoyance. He was acting as if she had attacked him. “My God, do you actually have a Scottish accent? What romance novel cover did you escape from? There’s no need to bark at me. I did save your life. But from the way you woke me up, I think you have the idea that I owe you something.” She threw the blanket she held in one hand straight at him, smacking him in the chest with it. “Would you mind covering up?” She turned to start picking up the mess on the floor, pointedly ignoring him. “I don’t suppose you have any recollection of how you got tossed into a snow bank buck naked?” Her voice was heavy with a sarcasm she did not feel. The tall, predatory looking man stood behind her as she worked. Katie could feel his dark eyes boring into her body, and it was a pleasurable sensation.
    She stood again to face him. He looked aggravated. Welcome to my world, asshole.
    “You didn’t seem to mind what was going on. You were going at it as heavy as I was.”
    She gathered the pile
