Katrina was offering six bodyguards to protect Leah. The fact that they were werewolves made him feel even more certain that Leah would be well protec...ed with them. As he shifted into human form one of Katrina's men quickly moved forward wrapping Anthony in an overcoat to cover his nakedness. Anthony caught Katrina lingering gaze as her eyes still pictured him without the benefit of clothes. Looking away as their eyes met he stepped off the porch towards the group of werewolves. Together. Here was someone I was in love with as a girl and now that I was a woman he wanted me. What the hell? ‘Not really. I was never friends with you or anyone else that is here George. I mean, I tried to get you to like me and you know that is true, but did you? No, I even confessed my feelings for you and you humiliated me in front of everyone!’ I hadn’t meant to say all that, but it bubbled up after so long that I guess I just needed to get it off my mind. ‘Annie, that isn’t really true. Okay,. Lucy blushed three shades of red and was ready to strangle her husband. Jim found their discomfort amusing. Once he got over the shock, Keith wanted to punch Jim and then take Lucy to his room to privately finish what they started at the pool.Jim eventually apologized for his crudeness. “I’m sorry to speak so vulgarly about something you both clearly take seriously. Let me start over again.”“Don’t bother, Darling,” Lucy interrupted. Her voice was full of anger and contempt for her husband.. But she was attracted to me, and I was willing to let her explore that attraction. My texts always started out playful, I would ask, “What are you wearing?” And she would reply obediently. She loved texting me before a drunken night on the town, and this night was no different. “A red dress, with black heels” was her response. She always kept it reserved at first. Sober, her conscience always kept her from misbehaving. It was only after a handful of shots that she gave into my will. Only after.
