over the possibilities.
His lunchbox hitting the ground startled Eva, who spun around from her spot in the kitchen, a sheepish smile flitting across her face. He couldn’t help his reaction: all the frustration of the day instantly melted as he took in the scene before him. There were several candles on the kitchen table, illuminating a huge spread of mashed potatoes, green beans, dinner rolls and a large ham. The smell of meat drifted to his nose, making his mouth involuntarily water. Dinner wasn’t what had him the most stunned: that honor belonged to Eva. She wore a tight black pencil skirt that hugged her wide hips and perfectly round ass like a second skin. Her long, thick, smooth legs shot out from under the skirt, continuing all the way down to her bright red high heels. His eyes travelled back up, finding her wearing a button up white blouse. It was unbuttoned down to just below her breasts, exposing the full roundness of her chest. She wore bright red lipstick and dark eye shadow that made her sapphire eyes explode in the low light of the kitchen.
He could instantly feel blood rushing to his staff, bringing him almost to full attention as he studied the beauty in front of him. She looked perfect, absolutely perfect. He had told the council he had claimed her to protect her and himself, to explain the reason he had brought her back to Bucklin instead of just killing her. He didn’t want them to know he thought it was wrong to kill an innocent woman who was in the wrong place at the wrong time, but now, now it wasn’t a lie. As his eyes travelled up and down her body, and his cock ached with desire as he felt his wolf laying claim to her. He knew at that moment he had wanted her all along, and that was why he’d gone to such great lengths to protect her. It wasn’t a ruse: he had laid claim to this stunning beauty.
“I wanted to surprise you,” she said with a nervous smile.
“This is all for me?” he asked, walking over to the table and looking down at the food.
“Yes,” she said.
“Why?” he asked. She had seemed to be mad at him earlier, and now she was cooking him dinner.
“Because you’ve put yourself at risk to protect me,” she said, taking a seat at the table. Rowan quickly followed suit. “All I’ve done is complain about this. I’ve never taken the time to understand why you’re doing this for me.”
“Why am I doing this for you?” he asked.
“Because you’re a great guy,” she said, reaching over and touching his hand. He could feel a chill go down his spine as her warm hand contacted his. No woman had ever done that to him before. “You don’t want to see me harmed.”
“I would never let harm befall you at this point,” he said, squeezing her hand and locking onto her eyes. “Never.”

Eva knew her wolf was serious when he promised to protect her. One look into his eyes revealed the conviction with which he spoke his words; this wasn’t a man who made that declaration lightly. If Rowan said it was going to happen, then it happened. Eva loved that.
It was obvious she wasn’t going home anytime soon, but throughout the day she had come around to the idea of being Rowan’s captive. She had begun to think of it less as captivity and more as being under his protection, which was how he had described it.
She should be so lucky to have such a strong and sexy man be so engrossed in her that he would risk his own life to protect her. Rain had explained it to her as they cooked dinner. When a male wolf felt a strong bond with a female, his inner wolf claimed her. When he claimed her there is no going back: his wolf saw her as his mate and would stop at nothing to protect and please her.
If only human men had such strong convictions when they got into a relationship, she might’ve been married a long time ago.
“Do you like it?” she asked as he took his first bite of ham.
“It’s delicious,” he said. “Did Rain help you with this?”
“Not really,”
