into bite-sized pieces.
Kasen dropped the axe and wiped his brow with the back of his hand. He needed a shower and a beer. “It’s hot out here, let’s go inside.”
Once in the kitchen, Kasen wiped himself down with a towel he left on a chair and opened the fridge. The cool air calmed some of the heat in his veins. He took out a beer and handed it to Spike. “I’m gonna take a quick shower and be right back.”
He was back ten minutes later to catch Spike opening up another beer and pulling stuff to make sandwiches out of his fridge. “You know, you could cook every once in a while.”
Kasen laughed and grabbed the sweaty beer Spike handed him. “I could, but I don’t want to.”
Spike sniffed. “What are you going to do if your mate doesn’t like cooking?”
Good question. He had no idea if Miranda liked cooking. He’d seen Naya handling the food when he’d been at her house. Did that mean she preferred to be served? That could be a problem. He didn’t have time to learn to cook. His pack needed him.
“By the way, how was the meeting yesterday?” Spike asked as he placed layers of ham, turkey and swiss on thick sliced multi-grain bread. Man, he could so go for a steak right about now. “Was the future Mrs. Steel everything you thought she’d be?”
“No. Not even close.” Miranda was strong, determined, commanding, assertive and so fucking sexy he was left hard as a rock every time he thought of her. Until he’d decided he needed a mate, his desire for women had been purely physical. He only wanted to fuck. So for the tables to be turned on him with Andi, he wasn’t sure what the fuck was going on anymore, but he didn’t like it.
“I told you Gerri doesn’t really give people what they think they want. She matches you with whomever she feels is the right person for you.”
“Great. Except she matched me with the wrong fucking species.”
Spike raised his brows and slapped the top bread on one of the sandwiches. “What do you mean?”
“She sent me to a pride, and my supposed mate is the Prima.”
“Get the fuck out!” Spike choked on the first bite of his sandwich with laughter. He grabbed a glass of water and gulped it down, trying to stop the sputtering of food with each chuckle. “You and a cat? This shit just gets better and better.”
“Want the rest?” he drolled out, unamused.
“Hit me.”
“She’s just as alpha as I am.”
Spike started laughing again. Kasen wasn’t amused by his friend’s humor. “I’m sensing you were not overly upset with any of that?”
He sighed, took his own food and put it on a plate before sitting to eat.
“No, I was happy to give it a chance. I mean, Gerri’s a professional.”
Spike made a face like Kasen had lost his fucking mind. “What aren’t you telling me?”
He came clean. “She was so fucking hot. My wolf wanted her from the first sniff. You should have seen her. She was fighting four guys at the same time. I’ve never been so turned on to see a woman kick ass in my life.”
Spike shook his head and drank from his beer. “Now that sounds more like you. So what’s the problem?”
“Miranda says I’m all wrong for what she needs. That she’s not what I need either.”
“She’s right. You know if she’s as alpha as you say and a feline at that, she’ll probably kill a few of your women if they get mouthy with her.”
And yet the idea of watching her be strong and stand up for her people only made her hotter in his mind. She was exactly what he thought he didn’t want, but somehow, now that he’d seen her in action, he realized she’d be perfect for him. Maybe not in every single way, someone would have to watch the kids and he had serious doubts she’d want to stop being a leader to do that. But there were ways to compromise.
“She’s a feline, bro. You said it yourself. We both know felines and canines don’t mix.”
He couldn’t give two flying fucks about what most people believed. It was what
