Dangerously Attracted [Werewolves of Hanson Mall 3] (Siren Publishing Ménage Everlasting) Read Online Free Page A

where innocent people like Lewis had been kept locked up. Although one thing did occur to her. Lewis had managed to convince the guards that if he wasn’t allowed to run outside he’d die. Therefore, not only were they humans, but also they didn’t know much about wolves. She’d never heard of a wolf dying from being unable to run anymore than a human would die from not being able to run. Of course, without begin given adequate exercise they might become overweight, or develop brittle bones or other issues, but no one died because they were banned from running. These people didn’t know shit about real wolves or even real human health. Which put her at the advantage. If Lewis could mislead them she could too.

    Andreas looked forward to the time when Dakota and whoever she was partnered with for her shift would look through the doors of the gym and check that everything there was going smoothly. Of course, if ever there was serious trouble he’d call security, but he still liked that part of the guards’ routine was to drop in and speak to him each shift.
    It didn’t always happen. Sometimes they were far too busy to do any courtesy checks, but with Dakota, especially, it was always a part of his day he appreciated. Andreas spent most of his day out on the reception desk. Sometimes he sat behind one of the computer terminals checking numbers of guests and customers, ordering more supplies, and answering e-mails. Other times he stood behind the desk talking to customers as they came in, keeping in touch with his clients and what they were interested in.
    It was after eleven and the fitness center was officially closed. He’d already locked the front door and checked the entire building to ensure no one was hiding anywhere or still in the showers unaware the gym was closed. Once he’d even found a guest sound asleep on a bench out by the lap swimming pool. But today, once he was sure the building was empty he’d clicked the switch on the door so anyone with a swipe card could still open it, and he sat behind his terminal looking at fitness clothing. Marbella, the wolf who taught aerobics classes, had told him his clothing lines were boring and if he’d stock more interesting attire he’d sell plenty of it.
    But the problem was it was “girl stuff” and he had no knowledge of girl stuff. He had no sisters, no wife, and not even a girlfriend right now. Of course, he could let Marbella choose it, but he didn’t want to relinquish that much authority to her.
    Andreas was still frowning at the screen when there was a tap on the door. He looked up to see a friendly wave from Berian, a fellow werewolf shape-shifter and one of the other security guards. Berian, a burly blond man, swiped the door open and stood in the doorway. “Everything okay here, Andreas?”
    “Yes, thanks. I’m closed, just trying to catch up on paperwork.”
    “I know how you feel. Sometimes I reckon it takes as long to write up the incident report as whatever it was that happened,” joked Berian.
    Dakota joined Berian in the doorway. “All secure over there.” She tilted her head in the direction she’d come from.
    “Dakota, you’re a woman. Come and look at these and tell me what you think.” Andreas spoke before he’d thought it through, but the idea of her standing close beside him was nice, even if she laughed at the exercise clothing on the screen.
    Both Dakota and Berian walked around the reception desk to where he sat, but Andreas noted it was Dakota who stopped to check the door was secured behind her. She was incredibly hardworking and thorough.
    “Oh, nice. I like,” said Berian staring at the screen.
    Dakota laughed but scanned the outfits carefully. “I think some of these things are for people to stand around in, not exercise in. I mean, they’re meant to look good, not necessarily be functional. Like those bikinis that you can’t actually wear into the water. They’re just for wearing when you
