well. Long, broad fingers stroked over his cock from tip to base, the fingers of his other hand gripped the
sac beneath, massaging it in time to the stimulation of the other hand. Where was a damned breeze when
she needed it? She was due to overheat any minute.
“Hurry, Merinus, you don’t have the rest of your life,” Kane grunted. “The bastard has mercenaries
stalking him. I can’t keep your ass covered forever, you know. I have three more days here, and Dad’s
pitching fits over you being there by yourself.”
Yeah, mercenaries. She blinked as she watched those hands cover the thick head of his own erection,
the tips of his fingers caressing the area just underneath. She licked her lips, wishing she was there helping
him. She was a doomed virgin.
“I’ll hurry, I promise,” she muttered. “Now let me get off here so I can get some damned work done. I
don’t have time to bullshit with you all day.”
She heard him sigh roughly.
“Check in soon. You wait too long to call,” he accused her.
“Why should I? You call everyday instead,” she told him absently. “I have to go, Kane. Got work to do.
Chat with ya later, hon.”
She heard him curse as she disconnected and tucked the little phone back into its handy case at her hip.
Good Lord, she was going to have a stroke. Cat boy was playing his cock like a finely tuned instrument
now. She could have sworn she saw the head pulse, throb. His hips arched, then a thick stream of
creamy semen erupted from the tip, splattering on that hard abdomen and coating the rough hand.
“Oh man, let me taste,” she whispered, unable to take her eyes from the sight.
Then he stretched, his eyes opening. She breathed in sharply as their gazes connected, a self-satisfied
smile stretching across those wonderful lips. Of course, he couldn’t know she was there, she assured
herself. It just wasn’t possible. Was it?

Callan chuckled to himself as he turned his gaze away from where the woman thought she was hiding.
Damn her, he could smell her arousal on the breeze, even across the distance of nearly a mile. Didn’t she
read her own homework? He knew the files she had hidden in her truck clearly stated he had exceptional
eyesight, hearing and smell. Though he had never smelled another woman’s heat in quite the same manner
as he did hers.
He rose from the deck, stretched again, presenting her a glimpse of the tight muscles of his ass as he
snickered in enjoyment. Teasing the little journalist was more fun than he ever imagined it would be. Each
time she approached him, pretending she had no clue who he was, it was a test in patience, wondering
when she would snap. He doubted it would be much longer. Not that he intended to touch her. Callan
sobered on that thought. No, it was better he didn’t. Hell, it would have been better if he had left when
she first arrived, but there was something about her that held him firm, kept him curious. The rumor of a
cat’s curiosity wasn’t folklore, though he could have done without a measure of that specific genetic
mark.
“She still up there?” Sherra stepped to the doorway of the house as he pulled shorts over his hips,
covering his still hard cock. “Quite a show you gave her, Callan.”
She was smiling broadly, though there was a question in her eyes.
“Perhaps I’m enjoying the game too much.” He grinned back at her. “She has a unique way of going
after a story, you have to admit.”
“Or going after you.” Sherra moved back from the doorway as he entered the kitchen. “Doc wanted to
see you again in the lab. Your latest tests were a little off, he wanted to run them again.”
“Off how?” Callan frowned. The monthly tests had never been off.
Sherra shrugged. “The glands along your tongue appear enlarged.”
Callan ran the side of his tongue over his teeth, frowning at the slight difference in the feel of them.
Nothing to worry about, it had happened before.
“Maybe I’m catching a cold or something.” He shrugged.
“Heart rate, adrenaline, semen and blood tests are off too. Could be the equipment, but he wants more
samples just to be on the safe side.”
“Damn. We need new equipment already?” He sighed. “That shit costs, Sherra.”
“Keeps us sane though,” Sherra reminded him as he pulled a bottle of water from the refrigerator. “Go
keep him happy, you know how cranky he gets if a test gets off. He ‘bout went crazy last year when
Taber’s went haywire, remember?”
Hell yes, he remembered. Taber had been half crazy during that year too. Irritable to the point that he
was almost savage. He disappeared for days at a time, no excuses, no apologies.
