sardonic smile. “Don’t talk about my dick. Especially in front of other people.”
    “Or what?”
    “Or I’ll have to show it to you again.”
    Tom strode up to her.
    “Stay back,” Amanda warned, her voice cracking.
    And Tom rushed in. Amanda came down with the knife. Hard. She wasn’t about to let this man touch her. Except Tom was fast. She aimed down for his chest, but he turned to the side. The big knife stabbed his arm.
    “Ouch!”
    The knife was stuck there, blood oozing out. He pulled it out of his biceps with a grimace. “That wasn’t nice.”
    Tom tossed the blade across the room.
    “Tom, whatever you think about me disrespecting you, the best thing you can do now is go.”
    “Is that so?”
    Amanda knew she was almost out of options. She had to get out of there. She had to run. But Tom stood in the kitchen, blocking her escape. He had backed her into a corner. What could she do? Be nice. Maybe that was the best way. Maybe he’d take mercy on her. Screw that. This monster wasn’t going to take mercy on anyone.
    Come on, just a little closer, Amanda thought.
    Tom advanced.
    And Amanda kicked him square in the balls.
    “Ohh…” Tom groaned.
    Tom bent over and Amanda rushed past. But before she could get by, she felt his hand in her hair. Tom pulled back, and in the next instant, he had an arm around her neck, strangling her. Was this it? Was this the end of her bad day? Of her life?
    “Let her go,” a voice growled.
    Amanda gasped for breath as she turned her eyes to the front door. Greg stood in the doorway, immovable, his broad body blocking out the sunlight.
    “Or else?” Tom said.
    “There is no or else .”
    And Greg shifted into his bear. Ferocious and untamed, he leaped forward, charging them. Amanda saw nothing but fur and teeth. It was scary. Even though Amanda knew it was Greg, the bear was almost more frightening than the man who was holding her. But instead of bowling them both over, Greg’s bear leaped over the countertop.
    Greg was behind them now. Amanda turned. She saw a paw swipe. And then she felt a prickly sensation on her neck. She looked down to see Tom’s arm growing fur. A second later it was no longer a human arm. It was the forearm of a bear and it released her as it swiped backward.
    Amanda ran for the door, but when she got there, she turned to see that Tom had shifted as well. Tom’s smaller bear leaped over the counter and into the living room, Greg’s bear charging after it. Already Tom’s bear was cornered and bleeding. Amanda knew she should run, but she was frozen in place. Tom’s bear stood up on its hind legs in front of the picture window. Greg’s bear roared, charging ahead in a full-body tackle. Glass smashed, and the next thing Amanda knew, both bears had tumbled out the window. After that, Amanda heard only roars and yelps, but she saw no more.

Chapter Eight

    Amanda went to Jada’s house that night. She was too afraid to stay at her own place, too afraid of what might happen if Tom returned. She didn’t see Greg at work the next day, but she knew that he was safe, because he had called Brandon later that morning to let him know that he was all right. It upset her greatly that Greg hadn’t been in contact with her. She had tried calling him several times. Why hadn’t he picked up?
    As far as Tom went, she wasn’t sure what had happened to him. She needed to talk to Greg to find out, but she realized that he needed to be ready to talk. They had things to work out between them, big things, but he would have to come to that conclusion on his own. Amanda went by her place after work to pick up some things. When she got there, the repairmen were still at work replacing her window. Amanda had no intention of staying by herself in her apartment that night, but she was hungry, so she changed into some comfortable clothes, and strolled down the street to Romeo’s. A small pizza would do her nicely, thank you very much. Romeo’s had a takeout window
