is your birthday? Mine is on May 10th.”
Katarina turned in his arms to face him. “So is mine.”
Jase laughed. “We’re twins.”
“Hardly. You won’t ever have to worry about me forgetting
your birthday.”
“Nor me yours. So will you spend the night at my house?”
“All right.” Katarina stood on tiptoe and kissed his chin.
“I’m really interested in seeing this massive bedroom of yours.”
“I hope that isn’t the only thing of mine that you’ll find
massive.”
She rolled her eyes. “Oh, baby, you’re so well-hung I can’t
think of anything else but your enormous cock.”
The way Katarina said it in such a monotone voice, she had
Jase laughing. “Okay, you got me back for that one.”
“I’ll make us some breakfast. Then I have to get to work.”
Jase tugged her closer and kissed her until she moaned into
his mouth. He lifted his head. “Are you sure you have to work today? Wouldn’t
you rather spend the day with me instead?”
Katarina reached up and fingered his pendant as she looked
him in the eyes. “I would, but I can’t. The owner is coming by late this
afternoon to collect the rent checks. I have to have this place clean or he’ll
come down hard on me.”
“I could help you.”
She arched a brow. “Have you ever cleaned before?”
“Well, not really.”
“I figured that much. If you live in a mansion, then I would
expect you have hired help to do that for you. Thanks for the offer, but I’ll
get it done faster by myself. I have a whole system worked out.”
“Then I won’t suggest I help with breakfast either since I
don’t know how to cook.”
Katarina laughed and shook her head. “Good idea. Let’s get
something to eat, then you have to hit the road.”
Jase released Katarina and watched her walk out of the
bedroom. He gathered up the rest of his clothes and pulled them on before he
joined her in the kitchen. As she went about making breakfast for them, he
decided he’d gear their evening all for her. He’d wine and dine her, after
which he’d take her to bed and make her come until she begged him to stop. If she begged him to stop. Though he had no problem with the idea of taking her as
many times as it took to have her calling for mercy.
Chapter Five
Caleb watched Grady walk out of the apartment building and
head for the parking lot at the side from his hiding place across the street.
He lifted his upper lip in a snarl as the other cougar shifter got into his
car, then drove away.
He remained where he was, though. Jase was still inside
there somewhere. Caleb had recognized the brothers’ cars in the lot as he’d
driven his beater by them. He’d come to retrieve the last few things he’d left
in the crappy apartment he’d been forced to rent. But with Jase and Grady
already there, he couldn’t take the chance of either one of them encountering
him.
How Jase had known where to find him in the first place,
Caleb hadn’t a clue. He’d purposely picked the worst part of the city, an area
where none of his family would think to look for him. Obviously, that hadn’t
worked as well as he’d thought it would.
He should have left Anchorage, but Caleb wasn’t going to
just walk away from the life he’d built for himself and leave it all behind.
He’d worked too hard for it all. He needed to liquidate all his assets before
he could go start over again, in another country perhaps.
If only his uncle had died as Caleb had planned, then none
of this would have happened to him. For over half a year no one had been wise
to what he’d been doing. They’d all accepted his word that his uncle suffered
from some kind of new illness. And he’d been so close to reaching his goal.
He’d had it all worked out too. Since his cousin Blaise didn’t want the
leadership role in their family group, and Taylor had been exiled, Caleb would
have easily stepped in to it. No one would have stopped him. He would have been
there for his aunt, and little by little,
