Accidentally Yours (Coyote Bluff Series Book 1) by Lea Barrymire Page B

that she was theirs. She was prefect and drew him so strongly in both forms that he had a tough time keeping from wanting her as his mate.
    “Come on. Come out and meet a friend of mine. You better be a good boy and not bite him, though. He isn’t like Ron.” While she spoke she’d been walking slowly backward. Ian would have laughed if he was in his human skin. She was drawing him to her with her voice and didn’t even realize what she was doing. She crooned to him in a voice he wanted to hear her use while they had mind-blowing sex. “Come out here with me, Titan. What a good boy you are.”
    The moment Ian caught sight of Connor every instinct fired at once. He found himself growling, teeth bared, between the scavenger and his female. His hackles were raised so far they felt almost painful. Each breath in and out of his lungs rumbled low in his chest. A snarl erupted fiercely between his lips when the other male moved suddenly on the chair. A small, feminine hand wound through his fur. Even with anger and rage coursing through his body he recognized Cammie. Her presence at his side calmed him slightly and he could finally concentrate on what she was saying.
    “Shh, Titan, stop it. He isn’t going to hurt me. You need to back down before Connor shoots you or something.” She tugged lightly on his fur and he took a step back from the male. “Please, baby. Stop growling like that. You’re starting to scare me.”
    That last statement was the piece that gave him control. There was no way he wanted her to fear him, and if he didn’t get a grip over the wolf , her fear would cause her to stop trusting him. He forced his lips back down over his teeth and he took another step back from the coyote. A few deep breaths helped calm his wolf. The other male wasn’t exuding any signs of fear or lust after Cammie.
    “Good boy.” She bent and whispered into his ear. Her words tickled the hairs along his neck. He took the moment to quickly turn his head and swipe his tongue along her jaw. She shoved him away, giggling. The sound of her laughter loosened his anger a little further. He wanted her happy, and if that meant back ing off from the other shifter then he would do so.
    “Well, he is a fierce one, huh? Cam, you really think it’s wise to keep him in the house with you? I mean, really… Look at him.” Connor’s tenor brushed against Ian’s mind like fingernails on a chalkboard. From the look the other male was giving him, the coyote knew Ian was a shifter in his animal form. Fucker was trying to talk Cammie out of keeping him around. A growl rolled from his chest.
    “He’s only acting this way because Ron nearly killed me. Titan is a good boy and saved my life. There is no way I’m making him sleep outside.” Calming strokes of her hand through his fur brought a silent snarl to his lips. See, you ass, she’s mine and she wants me around .
    “Cammie, do you mind if I have a glass of water or something? All this talking has made me dry.”
    “Sure. I’ll be right back.” She squatted and spoke into Ian’s fuzzy ear. “You be good.” Both males watched her walk into the house. The moment she was out of earshot the sheriff bent forward and growled. “What the fuck are you doing here, dog?”
    Ian couldn’t help it. He pulled back his lips and snarled.
    “Can you shift?”
    Ian shook his shaggy head.
    “Was Ron really going to kill her?”
    A nod.
    “Are you getting attached to Cammie, here?”
    Another nod.
    “Good. She needs someone to watch out for her, even if it is you. When you can shift again, which shouldn’t be too long, you will call me and discuss this whole thing with me.”
    Ian nodded once more, just as Cammie came through the door. She looked between them with a comical expression on her face. He could just imagine how it looked. Connor was bent over, whispering to a wolf, who was sitting with his head cocked to the side as if he was listening. Without knowledge of shifters, it
