time, but he couldn’t tell if it was because she was thinking about her answer, or if she was censoring the answer she gave him.
    “One thing I learned from my father’s lack of success in business, was that there has to be a market for what the business plans to sell. The former Alpha was opening an entire new shopping mall and he had far more men than women to advise him, and to manage the stores. As a woman, I had an edge with a women’s clothing store. I’d always had an eye for style and color, and I was more than willing to learn what would sell and what wouldn’t. Besides, he needed a women’s boutique in his mall. He wanted to attract humans as well as shape-shifters so half the customers would be female.”
    Keelan found his mouth turning up into a grin. What she said was correct. “Did you work in your father’s business? What kind of business was it? Did he manage a store, too?”
    “He was a small engine mechanic. He fixed things like lawn mowers. Dad was quite good at the mechanical side of the business, but he was hopeless at budgeting and he wasn’t very happy after a while and wasn’t nice to the customers so a lot of them didn’t come back. There were plenty of other businesses just like his around town.”
    “I remember. You said earlier that he had a temper. So did you help him with his accounts?” said Wynn.
    “Mom tried to remind him about bills like utilities that come regularly, but he never really made a proper budget and he never understood things like annual fees. Every year he was unprepared when they fell due. Besides, he never listened to Mom when she tried to put money aside for the bills or told him to be nicer to customers. So she lost interest in the store as well.”
    That’s right. She’d said her mom had returned to the farm right after her dad died.
    All too soon for Keelan they arrived at the apartment Quintana shared with Helena. She used to share with Dakota as well, but Dakota had recently mated Lewis and Dylan and she mostly stayed up on the roof with the men. Lewis had been captured before he came to them and seemed to need the wide open spaces of the roof to relax. Besides, he was in the process of building the most amazing garden up there for the wolves to share, and an outdoor running track for them as well. Keelan was looking forward to when it would be finished. He didn’t get to run nearly as often as he’d like, and with a track on the roof that would change.
    He parked in a visitor’s space and turned the engine off. Wynn jumped out quickly and ran around to open Quintana’s door. Wynn helped her stand and then asked, “May we kiss you, please?”
    Keelan reached them just in time to see her eyes go wide with surprise. He hoped his dick wasn’t as obvious as it felt. The thought of kissing her good night was making him harder than a rock, and he wished he could loosen the fabric of his pants to give his cock more room. But he kept watching her and left his hands by his sides. Her answer was very important to him as well as to Wynn.
    “Not in the apartment block parking lot, no. But thank you for the ride. I’ll see you at six tomorrow,” she said.
    Keelan watched her walk to the door, then run up the stairs. Her body moved with an easy, lithe grace that had his dick pressing against his zipper even harder. He had to walk back to his seat bandy-legged his cock was so hard, and the first thing he did when he was safely in the SUV was pull the fabric away from his tortured dick.
    Wynn slid into the passenger seat beside him. “Yeah. Me, too.”
    Keelan saw Wynn tugging on his pants as he sat down.
    “Does that mean she’ll kiss us somewhere else though?” asked Wynn.
    “Hmm. Good point. Perhaps it does.” Keelan felt a silly grin break out across his face. “Maybe she does like us.”
    “We’ll find out at six tomorrow.”
    “Oh fuck. Six o’ fucking clock.” But Keelan didn’t really mind. Even getting up before dawn was worth it to spend
