She didn t look away from Grady. I guess I did. I probably should be happy he did
cheat on me. I told him if he ever did it that I d never take him back and I wasn t
kidding.
Did he try to get you back?
She nodded. He still tries. He calls my cell phone every few days and he s sent
flowers to my work half a dozen times but he s wasting his time. I delete his messages
without listening to them and every time he sends me flowers I give them away at
work.
Grady reached out and rubbed her hip with his large hand. He was stupid. If I
were a human guy, I d do everything to keep hold of you.
But you re not one. Not fully.
No. I m not. Ready to get some sleep? It s been a long day.
She nodded. Grady released her and rolled away. He stood and walked around the
bed. Mika turned onto her back and tracked him as he reached down and picked up his
discarded underpants and jeans. He walked toward the door of her bedroom and then
paused but didn t turn around.
Good night, Mika.

You aren t sleeping with me? She was astonished at his actions. She saw his
muscles stiffen as he shook his head slowly.
No. You re leaving soon so it s best if we keep some distance between us. Sweet
dreams. He reached out and flipped off her light. He left the door open and walked
away.
Mika frowned and rolled onto her stomach. She could see Grady picking up his
discarded shirt and his footwear. He had a really nice ass that she got a great view of as
he bent to retrieve his things from the floor. She lifted her head and let it fall, banging
her head over and over against her soft comforter. Shit, I m in trouble. She was really
hurt and disappointed that he wasn t going to sleep with her. Bad signs, she told herself.
She bit back a curse when anger was her next emotion. She was good enough to
fuck but not to sleep with? Is that what he thought? He d get close during sex but he
didn t want to hold her in his arms all night. She climbed out of bed and walked to her
door. She slammed it closed, not caring how he took that little action of hers, her anger
growing. She flipped on her bedroom light and stormed to the shower. She smelled of
sex and Grady. If he wouldn t sleep with her, she sure as hell wasn t going to inhale
reminders of them together when she was alone.
She turned on the shower and stepped into the stall. She stood there letting water
pour down her body for a long time. She finally moved when she got her anger under
control, though it wasn t anger as much as hurt, she realized. She liked Grady way too
much and she always tried to be completely honest about her feelings. She confronted
them. She was falling for a guy who didn t want anything lasting with her. She wasn t a
wolf and he was set on never hooking up with a human mate. It really hurt and when
something did that, she tended to turn that emotion into raw anger, something she
could deal with more easily than tears.
She took her time and even shaved her legs. She washed her hair and let her
conditioner set for a good five minutes, anything to stall until she got a grip on herself.
When she was sure that she wouldn t burst into tears or storm out there and tell him
off, she dried off and walked back into her room.
The bedroom door was still closed the way she d left it. She listened but didn t hear
anything coming from the other side of the door. She figured that Grady must have just
gone to bed since she d have heard the television if he had it on. She walked to the
scene of the crime and yanked down her comforter. She climbed naked into her bed and
reached for the light switch over her head on the wall. The room went totally dark.
Mika couldn t sleep. Why was Grady acting the way he was? Would it kill him to
sleep with her and to share her bed? He had no qualms about burying his face between
her thighs or burying his cock to the hilt inside her. That was damn personal. Sleeping
in a bed with her obviously wasn t a line he wanted to cross. She decided he was a total
jerk and a major asshole.
Gritting her teeth, she flipped over onto her stomach and sighed, knowing she
should be tired. It was almost eleven-thirty at night and she d gotten up at eight. At

home she usually went to bed at ten. She sighed again and flipped back over. Maybe
some more sexual release would put her out. She stuck her finger in her mouth, wet her
index finger, and spread her thighs. She closed her eyes and put an image of Grady in
her mind. It turned her on remembering he had one hell of a body, picturing him naked
as she rubbed her clit.
She softly moaned at the thought of what Grady s mouth could do to her and
spread her knees wider. She drew circles around her clit, imagining it was his tongue.
She tilted her head back and bit her lip. It didn t take her long to get to the point where
she was ready to come. She tensed and softly cried out as pleasure tore through her. She
sighed and shut her legs, withdrawing her hand from under the covers as her body
relaxed and she tried to calm her pounding heart.
Her bedroom door came crashing open, loudly slamming into the wall, and Mika
lunged for the light switch. She heard a growl and then her bed dipped. She flipped the
light on right as the covers were torn from her body. She stared in shock at a naked and
very aroused Grady glaring at her. He was on his knees on her bed by her knees. She
couldn t miss the hard-on that was pointing right at her.
If you really wanted me to share your bed all you had to do was say so, he
ground out harshly. His hand gripped her leg, yanked her flat on her back and shoved
her thighs apart before he came down on her. Don t ever torment me again. I could
hear every breath, every moan, and every other sound you made while you touched
yourself.
Mika cried out in sudden pleasure as Grady entered her. He gripped her arms,
jerking them above her head, and used his elbows to support his upper body weight, to
keep from crushing her. His hold was tight but not painful on her wrists. He started to
move in her in deep, long strokes. Mika wrapped her thighs around his hips and curled
her legs over the back of his ass.
Intense pleasure hit her while Grady fucked her hard and fast. He drove in and out
of her. She wound her arms around his neck and clung to him as their bodies moved
