Chapter 36

Amber couldn’t help but wonder what her mate and her stepfather were up to. He didn’t know her stepfather as well as he thought if he thought he could just waltz in, tell him what he wanted, and get him to help. “What do you mean by there would be no need to?” she asked.

“Hell do whatever it takes to protect you. Besides,” he glanced at her over the door, I’m pretty sure he knows what’s coming. Before you joined us in the office, I asked George what he’d do if he ever saw your father again”

Her stepfather would kill the as s hole. “I’m guessing it wasn’t good.”

“It works for me.” Callum shrugged, the muscles in his arms bunching as they flexed. “If he wants to take another shot at Holden, I’m all for it.”

Seconds pa**ed as she waited for him to indicate he was joking. He didn’t cr ack a smile, gazing in her direction, his attention riveted to her face.

“You’re serious?”

“As a heart attack,” he tossed her words back at her with a playful grin.

“What if he’s hurt? He can’t stand up to a group of werewolvesTM

“Amber Callum’s good humor was beginning to recede. “Your stepfather has every right to address the male who impregnated his best friend and left her and his unborn child. It doesn’t matter that he’s human. He’s entitled to justice. What Holden did violates everything wolves value and protect. Our children are the key to our future. When his pack discovers what he did he’ll be lucky if he’s still Alpha.” Trying to calm her, he added, “If it makes you feel better. I’ll make sure to unload George’s weapon before we go

“That’s a small amount of comfort Knowing her stepfather, he’d carry auno in his pockets.

Then how’s this? He’ll have the backing of the pack. No one will interfere. They know better”

“Just like the females won’t interfere when you announce our mating?” She waited for an answer as she met his eyes, staring at him across the distance. The tic in his jaw and the brightening of his irises were the only indications he was angry.

“That’s different.

“I don’t see how” Danger equaled danger.

“They won’t challenge you because I’m going to tell them what to expect if they win.” His voice deepened, but otherwise, he appeared completely calm. “Mating me will be the worst mistake any of them will ever make. I’ll make their existence a living hell.”

“Isn’t that cheating?”

“I’ve found my female His gaze swept over her. The grin that appeared on his face created butterflies in her tummy. “Til

have no other.”

The man way part Neanderthal. Good thing she didn’t want him any other way. “You have a solution for everything, don’t you?”

“It’s part of the job” Dipping his head, he glanced inside the refrigerator. “Da mn it,” he snapped, closing the door and standing to open the freezer. “I knew I should have kept groceries at the cabin. This is f ucking pitiful”

Sliding from her stool, she walked toward him. Knowing he was so focused on her, that he wanted to feed and care for her, was a stark reminder that he’d been through hell the past couple of days. After she’d woken and gone into the bathrooms, she’d studied the mark on her shoulder, his mark. Not everything was about her and her family, big decisions concerned. him too. If Callum was willing to stand at her stepfather’s side when he faced Holden, she’d trust him to take care of the stubborn aging indomitable man

Chapter 36

Speaking of age….

She wrapped her arms around his waist and rose to her tiptoes, resting her heal on his shoulder. She took a look in the freezer. There wasn’t much in the way of actual food, just a couple of Hungry-Man dinners.

“How old are you anyway?”

“I suppose I can tell you. It’s too late to trade me in for a newer model.” He shified a few of the dinners around. “I turned one hundred and twenty-five last month.”

One hundred and twenty-five? “Bu llsh it.”

“Nope.” He kept sorting, looking for a pot of gold at the end of a cr appy rainbow, “You’re mated to an old man.”

“How about the pizza?” she offered, pointing at the enormous hox. “I’ve heard it’s the Breakfast of Champions”

“Breakfast of champions, my a ss,” Callum grumbled and pulled out the frozen food I should be shot for feeding you sh it like this.

“Don’t worry. You can make it up to me later, she whispered, tilting her head to skim her lips over his neck, squeezing the arms locked around his midsection.

“Hmm. He placed his free hand over her interlocked fingers and shuffled to the stove. He let her go only lang enough to remove the pizza from the box, turn on the oven and place it inside. After he set the alarm near the dials he disentangled her arms, spun her around, and gazed down.

Oh, dear.

That Inok was in his eyes, the one that warned her he wanted to tear off her clothes and do all sorts of nighty things to her body.

“You’re da mn right I’ll make it up to you.” One harsh yank forced her against his body, He wrapped an arm around her waist, cupped her a ss, and lifted her from the ground. “Starting now.”

“Bring it on, old man.”

He crossed to the counter, his movements as smooth as silk.

She shivered when her a ss made contact with the chilly surface, aware of how thin her panties were against the ceramic. Callum parted her thighs with his hips, his fingers drifting around her waist. She raised her pelvis, and he tugged at a scrap of lace guarding her sex, drawing the material doen her legs. He dropped her panties, sank to his knees, and pulled her forward. Her buttocks balanced on the edge of the counter, his mouth hovering inches from her mound

Slowly he peered up, the heat in his stare so palpable it burned. Tin not coming up until that alarm goes off. First, I’ll pleasure you, then Ill feed you. Afterward, we’ll take things upstairs and finish what I started. I’ll show you just how young

this old man can be.”

She gasped for air, dragging a greedy breath into her lungs. Then his face descended, his tongue slipped over her hot, slick flesh, and she was lost in the most fantastically wicked of ways.

Who needed food when you could get heaven?
