I leaned in close taking in the scent that was all her; girl and wolf. She lifted her head, giving me better access. I smiled against her neck. I so had her. I gently kissed the spot and she let off a small sigh. I easily plucked the note from her pocket. And started to lean back. I wanted to kiss her so bad it was a need, but she wasn’t ready yet. I smiled and showed her the note. She tried to jump for it, but… she was so small, all it took was my hand held out in front of me to ward her off.~ *Can be read as a stand-alone story. **This book may have some mild language not appropriate for younger readers. -Mild curse words
