had to stop herself from laughing. This was serious, and they needed to understand that she wasn’t just going to just accept what they were telling her.
“We know that, sugar, and we want you to accept us willingly. When you are ready to talk more, just come to one of us, but until then, get used to having us around. We aren’t leaving your side.” Devin gently turned her around to face him while he spoke to her, and she could see the fear of rejection in his eyes followed quickly by a flash of possession. It heated her blood hearing him. She mentally fought her body’s horny reaction to him, and tucked her hair behind her ears in a nervous gesture.
Refusing to meet his possessive stare, she reached for the pizza box on the counter and quickly asked, “So what kind of pizza did you get?”
“Being wolves, we aren’t really into vegetables, so I ordered an all meat and a plain pepperoni. Is that okay?” Damon was already handing her a plate, and clearly wanted to hear her approval.
“That’s perfect, thank you. I’m absolutely starving.” She tentatively smiled at him and helped herself to two pieces of pizza.
They ate pizza together at the bar in companionable silence, and Caroline drank her beer, thinking to herself about what the men had told her. How could they think they were werewolves? Were they crazy or was she? She had to admit to herself that there were odd things about these men, outside of the fact that they wanted to share her with each other. When they kissed her their eyes always seemed to brighten, until it almost seemed that they were glowing. She had dismissed it before, but now…she just wasn’t sure what to think.
Surely they were just joking with her or trying to scare her? I’m a grown woman, and I don’t want to play games, she thought to herself. Well, maybe I will just call their bluff then.
“Show me,” she said quietly.
“Caroline…” Damon started to shake his head no, but Devin stopped him with a hand on his shoulder.
“Are you sure?” he asked her, and she lifted her gaze to meet his.
“Yes. Show me. That way I can prove to myself if you’re crazy or not. I won’t accept it until I’ve seen it with my own eyes.” She kept her voice and gaze steady, but she could feel her insides trembling with nerves. Now that she had actually asked, she wondered if she was really sure she wanted to see it.
Nodding, Devin stood up and pulled her over to the couch. After she settled into the seat, Damon sat next to her and took her hand as Devin moved to the middle of the living room. She watched intently to see what he was going to do. Before she knew it, he had taken off his shirt, and his hands moved to the buttons on his Levi’s. Her breathing increased and desire filled her belly as her gaze ate up his tight abs and sculpted chest, following the trail of dark hair down to the top of the buttons on his jeans.
“Wha…what are you doing? I told you I want to see you change into a werewolf, not get naked!” she choked out the words, wondering if they were as husky out loud as they sounded to her ears.
“Caroline, I can’t change with clothing on or I will tear them apart, so instead of ruining a good pair of jeans I’m going to remove them. Don’t worry, sugar. I won’t ever hurt you no matter what form I’m in.” Devin spoke in a quiet voice, and his patient tone told her how important this moment was to him. She bit her lip as she watched him, wondering if he could sense her fear.
“Baby, you are going to have to stop looking at me like that or I won’t be able to concentrate!” She blushed but couldn’t look away as he quickly pushed his jeans and boxer briefs down his hips. He stood proudly in front of her, completely naked, and allowed her to drink her fill of him. Her lips parted, and her eyes glazed over. The strength in his long lean limbs was staggering. Every line of his body was muscled and tense. The notch at his hips, and the curve of that
