To Tame His Mate Read Online Free

snickered.
    “He’s the best in three states and highly sought after.”
    “Isn’t that cheating, though, seeing as he can communicate with them?” She arched a brow and awaited his response.
    “Nah. Who’s gonna tell?” He winked at her, gaining a small chuckle.
    “Good point.” Her stomach rumbled, and she was ready to die of embarrassment.
    “I’ll toss your things in the laundry and fix some sandwiches. Once everything’s dry, I’m taking you to the clinic.” He stood and quickly left the room.
    The man had a seriously nice ass, and she openly admired it as he left then heaved a disappointed breath when he was out of sight. She was never one to lie to herself. She was definitely attracted to him. He seemed safe, despite being an alpha. And when he’d held her…hmm, she could definitely get use to resting against that man. He smelled like the rain and the forest. He smelled…right.
    He was fully respecting her space, too—that was a good thing, right? Erik was an alpha, but a gentleman as well, and for the first time she found herself tempted to claim someone herself. But what did she really have to offer? She had nothing. No car, no home, barely any money or belongings.
    Yup, she was a real catch.
    And she was a twenty-four year old virgin. Not exactly the sex kitten most guys went for. She’d only been kissed once, and she had punched the bastard for it. Needless to say, seducing Erik was out.
    Who am I kidding? Sarah thought. I’m in deep shit with two alphas. Why would he want to take that on?
    * * * *
    Erik was impressed. Sarah was a scrapper, and that just made him even hotter for her. Damn, just holding her in his arms had made his blood boil. His body didn’t seem to care if she was injured or not. Good God, he was so hard right now a good breeze might finish the job.
    Pathetic.
    Finally, a woman who was strong, independent and comfortable in a life outside of a pack, and she’d pretty much sworn off men. Maybe, just maybe, he could coax her into a nice, quiet country life.
    She seemed as if she might enjoy a peaceful place akin to what he’d created for himself. Town was a few miles away, and his home was the only one at the end of his lengthy private drive. The only noises, besides that of nature, were from his tractor or lawn mower when he worked the field.
    Erik had no doubt he could keep her safe. Between his brothers and himself, nobody would get to her. All he needed to do was convince her of that.
    Once he had the laundry started, he headed to the kitchen and threw two sandwiches together, sliced an apple then poured two glasses of sweet iced tea. He grabbed a baking sheet to use as a serving tray then returned to the living room. Sarah was right where he’d left her, but with a picture in her hands.
    “That’s the whole family,” he stated, and when she smiled up at him, he nearly dropped the tray. Her whole face had gone from beautiful to radiant.
    “Quite a handsome group of guys. Your mom must beat the women away with sticks,” she teased.
    “Not hardly. I’m afraid we’re a very picky bunch. She’s actually anxious to see us settled.” He gave her a small smile. “I think she wants grandbabies.”
    “That’s sweet, though.”
    “You won’t think that for much longer if she stops by,” he chuckled, “She’ll try to fix you up with one of us for sure.”
    “I’m sure I could do worse. Do all of you stay clear of pack life?” She watched as he settled the tray onto the wooden coffee table before the sofa.
    “Every last one of us.” He shrugged and handed her a plate before sliding the table closer. “We don’t want to deal with all the hierarchy bullshit involved with a pack. We value our freedom.”
    “That’s exactly what I’ve tried to explain to the thick-headed bastards chasing me.” Sarah sipped the tea he’d handed her before placing it on a napkin. She even held her little pinky out, and damned if Erik didn’t find that cute. “So what do you
