him even though her words were dismissive. She had never felt herself respond like this to a man. Not even her now-deceased fiancé had turned her on just by touching her.
    “It is already taken care of. My cousins finished cleaning it up while I was checking your head and back for injuries. I don’t want you to go back in there right now. You will come and stay with me tonight. That way I can take care of you. I need to watch you to make sure you don’t have a concussion.” His tone was determined, and she blanched.
    “Huh? Wait a second. I appreciate that someone else cleaned up because I don’t have a lick of energy left, but that doesn’t mean I will just do whatever you want. I’m not about to sleep in a stranger’s house out of some strange urge you have to take care of me. Besides, I’m a nurse, so I know the signs of a concussion. If I thought I had one I would have gone to the hospital.” She crossed her arms in front of her and leaned back to glare into his eyes. His gaze narrowed at her obvious challenge, and he growled softly. She wondered for just a moment if she should be scared of him. She had just seen him as a wolf not an hour ago, and God knows what he could do to her if she pissed him off.
    “I know, but after the emotional scare you had this evening I think it is best that you stay with someone, and the only one with the right to be that close to you is me,” he said.
    “You? Why do you think you have any right to be close to me?” She was stunned and pissed. The trickle of fear in her belly was now more apprehensive and anxious than scared. This man was sexy as hell, and his dominant words were making her wet. She was so horny. But I’ll be damned if I will just roll over and play the easy fuck for him, she thought to herself.
    “Because you are my mate.” he replied, and she felt all of the blood drain form her face, just before the ground came rushing toward her.

    “She’s okay, Liam. She’s just exhausted and overwhelmed. Give her some breathing room.” Tina could hear another man’s voice talking to Liam, but she couldn’t seem to make her eyes open to see who it was.
    “Why did she pass out then?” Liam’s voice was annoyed, and she thought she heard him growl a bit. Damn, that was sexy.
    “Who knows why women faint? What were you guys talking about?” A third masculine voice spoke.
    “Shit.” Liam muttered. “I told her she was my mate. I didn’t mean to scare her.”
    Tina could just imagine the look on Liam’s face right now. She understood that Caroline believed in this whole mating thing, and that was fine for her life, but Tina wasn’t interested in a serious relationship. She had lived through her share of heartache when it came to men, and the pain just wasn’t worth it anymore.
    She took a deep breath and forced her eyes open a crack. Instantly Liam and two other men were leaning over her. What the hell did they feed these men? They were enormous and gorgeous!
    “Oh my God, I’ve died and gone to single women’s heaven,” she said, moaning and then blushing when the two new men laughed, and Liam frowned. “Who are you guys?”
    “Hey, Sweet Tina, nice and easy now. How are you feeling?” Liam’s eyes held compassion, concern, and a glimmer of apprehension. A gentle tug of desire shot through her body at his soft endearment. He helped her sit up, scooting to sit behind her to brace her back against his chest. She was now between his outstretched thighs with her head tucked just under his chin and his arms around her protectively.
    “Like a werewolf beat the shit out of me,” she grumbled, and all three men laughed. She felt Liam relax against her a little bit. He rested his hands on her flat tummy, and his thumbs rubbed tiny circle patterns through the T-shirt she wore. She could feel sparks shoot across her skin, and she grimaced in her mind. Her body sure wanted a relationship with him.
    “Good. I was afraid you were just going
