had elongated so he kept his mouth mostly closed. And he thought getting a
hard-on in public was tough to hide. Damn.
Yohana glanced at him, her brows rising as she caught a glimpse of
fang along his lip line. He took a deep breath to try to calm his wolf
instincts as he walked her away from the valet. Just before going inside, they
paused. She cradled his cheek.
“I’m yours, Per .
You don’t have to worry that I’d ever look at that man the way I look at you.”
“I know. I trust you. It’s him I don’t trust.”
She nodded and leaned into him. “I
understand.”
Yohana reached up and tapped one of his canines. “You still need
to relax, Per.”
“Sorry.” He sighed.
She leaned in and pressed her lips
to his, gently teasing his mouth open with her tongue. He groaned, sliding his
arms around her. He reveled in the taste of her as their mouths meshed
together. Finally, he lifted his head.
“I don’t think that’s going to help.
You’re too close to heat. Every part of me’s hard
that can be.”
“Well, it was a thought.”
He groaned when she rubbed her hip
against his half-hard cock. “Stop it. We have to go in there.”
“Okay, Per. I’ll stop. But just
remember, you promised to muss me later.”
“There’s no way in hell I could
possibly forget.”
“Good.”
She winked and turned toward the
door. He walked behind her, enjoying the sway of her hips as she moved. Fuck.
Was he going to be able to survive the evening? He wanted her now and he didn’t
want any male getting close to her. As she reached the entrance, she paused and
he pulled open the door. Once inside, he held out his arm and she took it,
smiling up at him. He led her toward the ballroom where the event was being
held.
“First thing on the agenda is to
find Dr. Frieze.”
“And prove I’m real.”
“Right.”
“Then you can introduce me to Dr.
Mel so that she and I can have a chat.”
“ Yohana …”
“I promise I’ll be friendly. I won’t
hamstring her or rip out her throat. How much nicer could I be?”
He winced. That’s what he was afraid
of. “No teeth.”
“Now you’re taking all the fun out
of this.”
He shook his head and prayed for a
quiet night while Yohana chuckled.
Chapter Nine
Per’s reaction to her new dress had definitely been gratifying.
She felt sexy and feminine. It also turned her on to have him trying to keep
other males away from her. Normally, she’d be pissed if a male got possessive,
but with Per it was another story. She hoped it was
just because she was near her heat cycle instead of them being True Mates. The
complications for both of them because of that type of relationship were
overwhelming. And yet…
Yet, she’d missed Per terribly. It was a physical wound and an emotional injury to have him so far
away. She briefly closed her eyes as she leaned her head against his warm
shoulder and he kissed her forehead. This was all it took to heal something
that had been hurt within her. Having him close. Touching her.
Yohana opened her eyes and her gaze connected with a scowling
woman across the room. The woman was stunning. Slender. Beautiful. She looked like a model. But boy was she
pissed. Yo lifted her head from Per’s shoulder and met the woman’s glare head on.
Wordlessly, Yo smiled slightly and raised her brows
in challenge. The woman’s eyes narrowed and she grabbed a man’s arm and all but
dragged him across the ballroom.
“I think we found your ex and the
boss,” Yohana commented softly.
“Where?”
“She’s steamrolling him over here.
Look to your right.”
Per’s gaze followed hers and he groaned. “That’s them.”
“You could have warned me that your
ex belongs on the cover of Vogue .”
“It’s not relevant.”
“Not relevant? In what universe are
her looks not relevant?” Yo leaned back to look into Per’s eyes.
“It was just sex, älskling .”
“She wanted to marry you.”
“ She wanted. That’s the
important point.
