Being outside appealed to her much better. Maybe she could learn to help him
around the ranch. He had Quinnie to help with the cubs, and make the meals.
And she seemed to enjoy it. Her place would be with Rock. Now all she had to
do was convince him of that.
She left the cubs to their playing, and wandered into the kitchen, staring
out the back door, wanting more than anything to explore the outbuildings, see
the horses, and explore the land. How long could it take to track down Johann?
She reached for the phone, needing to know what was going on before she went
nuts.
 Samantha? Her friend didn t sound like she was very happy.  Have you talked
to Johann recently?
 I just got off the phone with him. He s on his way home now, and something
has him really pissed off.
Simone didn t know what details to offer, but told Samantha what little she
knew.
 I ll call you back when I know what s got him pissed. Samantha said her
goodbyes.  Oh, wait. Gertrude called too. She s worried about you.
 She doesn t need to worry about me.
 That s what friends do, Simone.
And Simone guessed Gertrude could use a friend. She stared at the phone for a
second after hanging up before picking it up again and dialing.
 Yes. Hello. Johann definitely sounded pissed.
 This is Simone. Brief silence followed. She sucked in her breath.  Johann,
I hear you found a body on Rock s land.
 Where are you?
 I m at Rock s house.
She pulled the phone back when he yelled,  What in the hell are you doing
there?
 We mated, Johann. She couldn t let him take the upper hand with her
anymore.  This is where I belong now.
 We ll talk about this later. The background noise silenced, and she guessed
he had just turned his car off.  I have other matters to deal with at the
moment, as you obviously know.
 We don t need to talk about it later. She reminded herself of Rock s
strength, his confidence. She would make her new mate proud, and show the same
strength.  Have you seen Rock?
 No. You don t know where he is? Samantha spoke in the background now,
letting Simone know he was home.
 He left me here to go find you. And if she didn t find out something soon,
she would scream.

 Simone. Johann s tone changed, alerting her.  Do you remember Derek
Rousseau?
The question threw her off guard. She came up blank for a moment, not
remembering, and not knowing why Johann would ask about him.
The back door opened, startling her. Rock s gaze looked more dangerous than a
thunderhead. Concern, frustration, relief all mingled around him, filling the
air around her with a mixture of emotions.
 I remember that he was the oldest in his den Grandmother Rousseau s
first-born. He was a prick. Why?
 Do you remember who he ran with? Johann s line of questioning made no
sense. She didn t remember, and she didn t care.
 No, she managed to say, Rock distracting more than her thoughts. Her pussy
seemed to throb on command in his presence.
 Who are you talking to? Rock didn t stop when he reached her, but pressed
her into the counter.
The smell of his emotions mingled with his all-werewolf aroma, making her
insides tingle to life. She flattened her hand against his rock-hard chest,
feeling his body heat.
 Is that Toubec? Johann s voice grew louder, and more stern.  Put him on the
phone.
Apparently Rock heard Johann because he grabbed the phone from her.
 Whom did you chase across my property? he yelled into the phone.
He startled her, the spiciness of anger filling the air around them. Her
heart skipped a beat from his sudden outburst, and she fought the sensation to
sneeze when she breathed in his emotion.
Rock slammed the phone down on the cradle, growling under his breath.
 What is going on? She d had about enough of being left in the dark.
Rock noticeably relaxed, releasing a long, slow breath. The brewing storm
remained in his eyes, but his expression softened.
 I didn t mean to scare you. He pulled her to him, his hands gripping her
waist, and kissed her. It was a quick kiss however, and not with half the
feeling of the one he d given her earlier.  How are you and the cubs doing?
 They are fine, but I m not. She tried to push away from him, but his grip
tightened.  What did you find out? [ Pobierz całość w formacie PDF ]
