Chapter 1

Anna didnt know what to do with the man who acted like he was fucking attached to her hip. Every time she moved, just to get up and move to the bathroom, hed be right there with her, helping her into a panic attack. Not really, but that was what it felt like to her. Finally having enough, she stopped and turned to look at him.

Dont you have anything else that you can be doing? I dont even care if you go outside and play with yourself. Just leave me alone. He grinned at her. Youre not all that charming, if that is what youre going for. I have crushed bigger bugs than you.

What is it about me that has you on edge? She asked him how long he had to listen to her answer. Okay, that was mean, but Im thinking thats your normal way of talking to people. By the way, Ive gotten you an extension on your classes youre taking. I dont want you to be missing out on anything while youre here.

What Id really like to do is gather up my shit and get the hell out of town. He told her that hed be going with her. I dont want you around at all, much less you going with me someplace. Did you read over that report that I got from Rogen? It tells you all the reasons that you should be running from me. Not spending all your time here with me. Im a grown assed woman, and I dont need you here holding my hand.

I dont think that Id offer you my hand. Youd more than likely bite it off. She growled at him. Im not sure if you feel the same way I do about me growling at you, but all it does when you do it is make me want to spread you out before me and lick every square inch of you.

Youre not helping. He nodded and sat down after helping her to the bed again. Why are you here? Really? There isnt any reason at all for you to be sitting around like a puppy with your tongue handing out.

Your brother Noah, or I guess you call him Junior, is out of prison. That nearly had her falling to the floor. Had Morgan not been there to catch her, she would have ended up spread out anyway, without anything at all sexual about it. Im here until we can figure out where hes headed. Well, I say that like I have any idea what Id have to do to find him. But Rogen is doing it. Shes also trying to figure out how he got released.

I call him that because he absolutely hates being called Junior, now that he has a record. So, hes been hating it since he was about seventeen, I guess. Was Junior released or did he escape? Is that what youre telling me? Morgan said that was one of the things that Rogen was working on. I guess I should have figured that hed be out soon. Id forgotten to keep up with his prison term. My father is who Ive been the most worried about. Him and my brothers David and Bud.

Junior has a watch dog on him right now. As soon as Rogen was made aware of Junior being released, she put someone on all three of them. Your father, hes bitching about his health and that the jail is making him lose weight. He needs it, but thats beside the point for him, I think. He needs to lose weight, but not because of anything that theyre doing. Hes eating himself into a stupor. I think Rogen said that he weighs nearly four hundred pounds now. Anna asked him how shed know shit like that. Its her job to know all kinds of shit. And some shit that I dont even question her about.

She didnt strike me as the type that would be a coffee girl to anyone. Morgan laughed and said that shed be the one demanding the coffee. If she drank it. My father, does she think that hell be getting out anytime soon?

She didnt say, but Id not count on it. Now that hes on her fucking listher words, not minehes not going to fart unless she knows about it before he does. I didnt ask her what that was supposed to mean. Rogen scares me in ways that I had to tell you about. Shes a real ball buster. Much, Im sure, as you are. Anna told him that she wasnt that, but someone that had been knocked around more than most. I believe you. Rogen also pulled up your records for hospital visits, as well as other things.

What does it matter anyway? Morgan asked her what she meant. Youve already decided that Im not mate material for you. Just look at you. Youre sitting here in a pair of jeans that cost more than I make at my job. Or the job that I did have. He told me that if I missed a single day, hed fire me. Then there are your shoes. What did you pay for them? More than two hundred bucks, Im sure.

Not that I understand what the price of my clothing has to do with you not being mate material, but Ill tell you. My parents bought me the jeans for Christmas last year. Ive not had a chance to wear them as yet, because Ive been working harder than I should have taking over another mans classes at the college. Not to say that I didnt enjoy them, but it was taking up a great deal of my time. The shoes? I have no idea who gave them to me. Im thinking that it was Jonas, as he and I have the same sized feet. But as they were still in the box and had the tags on them, I can only assume that he didnt like the fit of them and gave them to me. She looked away. Dont do that, Anna. Just let me explain some things to you. I have money. A good deal of it, as a matter of fact. Im a dean at the college, and Ive never been one to spend a great deal of money on anything unless I really need it. Even then it had better have several uses, as well as last me long enough that I feel I got my moneys worth.

I dont have shit. He said that he knew that. Rogen again, Im assuming. Why is she so hot on finding out what there is to know about me? As Ive mentioned to you before, Im not mate material to you.

Before she could think that he was going to move, he was over her, his legs on either side of her own. His hands held hers above her head, and he was looking down at her with such hunger that the need to look away from him was overwhelming. But she couldnt do it.

Every time I look at you, all I can think about is seeing you large with our child. I have no idea why that thought keeps occupying my mind, but it does. To imagine you naked in my arms, another thought that I keep having, is almost more than I can take and still not touch you. He put both her hands into his one larger one and brushed his hand over her cheek. You feel as soft as you look. The kiss from yesterday only makes me want more of you. To taste all that you have to offer. However, I wont take unless you consent. As for not being mate material, I can only hope that Im a better mate to you than you think you will be for me.

He got off her then, her body suddenly feeling bereft of his warmth. Without saying a word, he sat down in the chair hed been in and watched her. Anna had never wanted to cry so badly in her life. Looking at him, she let the tears flow while she told him off.
