Katie came out of the bathroom looking like an angel in a white thigh length cotton nightgown. “Who was it?”
She had to repeat the question because Conner was looking at her with mouth agape. “Uh, it was Trevor. He says ‘Yo.’”
“Is that all he said? I’m surprised he wasn’t in bed. It’s nine o’clock.”
“No, he also said to put a lock on the basement doors.”
Katie went from drowsy to alert in seconds.
“Where are the basement doors, and do they have locks on them?”
“No, but there are two very strong shifters outside protecting us, and they’ll pick off anything scary and bad.” He had adopted a voice made for a child.
“Don’t patronize me Conner. Take me to the basement, and get your tools. We’re not sleeping until the doors get locked.” She walked out of the room in her pajamas.
“Don’t you want to put a robe on over your gown?” Conner was following, trying to catch up.
“Why, do you think Quinn will care if I show her a little leg? I’m a floosy remember.” She was smiling and thinking of running into Quinn and the excited exchange that would boil her blood. She liked the Old Bag.
“Sweetie, I hate to break it to you, but there are shifters outside and they can see through glass, quite well. Please put on a robe, or I might go a bit nutty again. I don’t want the pack to see your…Goods.”
Oh, how sweet. She still didn’t care, “I told you we need to lock those doors. If you want to find a robe in this massive house, fine, but I’m going to find the basement right now.”
Conner looked cross for a moment, before going to the nearest room and ripping the blankets off the bed. He got the sheet and walked over to her with wildness in his eyes. He wrapped the sheet around her toga style. “There, now we may go.”
Katie couldn’t move she was so turned on. She simply gaped at him. He was still wearing his faded worn Levi jeans with a tight black shirt that emphasized all of his muscle groups. Damn he looked sexy. She licked her lips and he traced her action with his eyes.
When Conner looked up at her, his eyes were lighter. He was also horny, good. “If you keep looking at me like that, we won’t make it out of this room, let alone to the basement.”
She shook off the sensual fog that had surrounded her. Damn, she needed to be on her game now. She was losing it. “I’m right behind you.” Yeah, where I’ll be able to watch your ass move in those jeans.
He growled low in his throat.
Oops, I must have accidently said the last part out loud.
“I’m not joking Katie, I’m a wolf on the edge.” He started towards her, stalking his prey.
She held up her hand, “As much as I’d like to play a bunny rabbit waiting to get ravaged by the wolf, we really need to fix the door.” But not go to bed, because she was no longer tired.
He held her gaze for a moment more, before taking her hand and pulling her urgently down the hall. “I have some sensors in the garage. I’ll set them up tonight. Tomorrow, I’ll go to the store and get a better door lock.”
“The sensors will alarm and notify who?”
Damn, she was good. Sometimes he forgot she was a cop, and knew all about this security stuff. “It will alarm to Twilight Lookout and Security, where the system was set up. It will also send an alarm to all of the pack employee cell phones, and they’ll respond immediately.”
“Isn’t that one of your businesses? I mean as pack, you help to run it.”

“Yep, one of the many things I help out with. We have numerous businesses, and if a pack member wants to start up a new business we typically help with the start-up fees. If it seems like a lucrative investment. One time, a pack member wanted to start a dog walking business; dogs are extremely frightened of wolves-bad idea.”
“What’s the most recent business venture that you have started in town?” She was going to keep talking because he was tinkering in the garage gathering his tools. “How long will this take?”
“Not long, maybe an hour. I have to connect all the wiring, and then check the system.”
“Oh, okay. What is the most recent business? Is there anything you want to start up yourself?”
“No, I don’t want to be obligated to be at a store every day. I help to create the business, and then someone else can take over the everyday running of it.”
“You are purposefully avoiding my question. What is the last store that you helped to open, and what is it called?” She was becoming testy.
Conner blushed.
