Free Two Minutes (Seven Series Book 6) by Dannika Dark Page A

exploded, scattering orange balls all over the floor. “Why don’t you get out of here and go make some more babies, Jerko.”
    His brow arched. “Think I just might do that. Isabelle’s going into her heat cycle soon, and my woman loves me good when she’s in heat.” Denver could hear Jericho laughing all the way down the hall.
    Bastard.
    Denver felt his blood warm when he thought about the way Maizy had held that bottle of water to her neck. He’d never felt anything so primal in his life, and the glimpse he’d gotten of her red panties…
    “I’ve seen that look before,” Naya said, sauntering into the room and grabbing some juice from the short fridge. Living in a pack meant never having privacy.
    Still hard as granite, Denver turned over, lying on the beanbag in an incredibly awkward position.
    When Naya spun around and held the juice to her lips, she spit some out with a quick laugh.
    “What’s so funny?”
    She wiped her chin and closed the fridge door. “Nothing, darling. I was suddenly reminded of when I first started seeing Wheeler. Literally,” she purred. “Maizy has become quite the popular girl in town. Several men at the bar were interested in getting to know her, and before you ask, they knew she was human.”
    Which made Denver stir with jealousy. Some of the Breed thought humans were a curiosity—as if sleeping with one was a delicacy. Denver had never slept with a human before, but his curiosity had been piqued once or twice.
    “Even Prince was taken by her.”
    “That man has been nosing around in our shit for years. I don’t like it.”
    “He’s helped us many times.”
    Denver sat up. “It sure looked like he was trying to help himself earlier. She’s not a party favor, Naya. I don’t want you parading her around like shiny bait.”
    She took a slow sip of her juice. “How did your date with Nadia go?”
    He shifted on his side and propped his head in his hand. “She’s nice. Real classy.” He could hardly lie. Although assertive like most Shifter women were, Nadia was one of the most sophisticated women he’d ever gone out with.
    “ Nice .” Naya took another taste of her pineapple juice. “Nadia is independently wealthy, selective, and beautiful.”
    “Then why is she still single?”
    “People repeat history because they’re afraid to try something new. I hope you two give it a chance and see where things go.” Naya winked and left the room.
    Denver got up and headed down the hall, stopping in front of Maizy’s room. His wolf was restless and wanted out, but not so he could run. He cracked the door open and saw her lying with her head at the foot of the bed. Her left arm was slung over the edge, and the water bottle had rolled out of her grip and across the floor. A dim night-light cast a soft glow in the room, creating shadows as he quietly crept inside and set the water within her reach. Maybe she wasn’t cold, but he still wrapped the purple blanket over her and covered her feet with a pillow.
    Denver knelt down and tried to look at her, but her long wavy hair completely obscured her face. He didn’t want to mess with it and wake her.
    She still smelled the same, only there was something different to her scent—a heady fragrance that caused his wolf to stir. Before he could resist, Denver involuntarily shifted. As soon as it happened, his wolf nuzzled her hair and then licked her arm. Maizy moaned and reached out, gripping a handful of his fur. Denver’s wolf had always liked it when she handled him that way. He could feel his wolf’s pride, his joy, and a deep-seated instinct to protect her. He drew in her scent and groaned as he nuzzled her once more before turning to face the door.
    As Denver began to fade and his wolf took over, the last thing he heard was Maizy saying “Love you” as she stroked his face.

    The next morning, I woke up with a stiff neck and nauseous tummy. I found a pair of sweatpants in a small pile next to my bed and
