The Alpha's She-Wolf by K.S. Martin Page A

was watching the
females, his female.  The sister was asking many questions.  He wanted to pick
up where he left off with Shauna before his shit of a brother crashed the
party.  Connor had forgotten it was his turn to drive to the office. 
    “I want to continue making things
for ‘Off Center’” Shauna looked worried.  Connor didn’t like it.  “We were
doing so well Mimi.”  Connor was at her side in an instant. 
    “You don’t have to work sweet girl,
I can afford anything you want.”
    “I like to work.  I like making my
jewelry and beading the blouses that Mimi makes.”  Naomi grinned brilliantly.
    “Then we’ve decided.  We will
continue to make our products.  We will stay here in the evenings and work from
home during the days.”
    “You will sell the house, I will
give you a facility close by, and you can continue your business from there.” 
Connor said.  Naomi looked cross. 
    “You don’t tell me what to do.  I
will never sell Missus B’s house, rent it out maybe, but sell it?  No way.” 
She heard Mike behind her now.
    “He’s the alpha babe.  He makes the
decisions for pack and that includes you now.”  Naomi huffed.  She had always
struggled with authority.
    “Connor?  I don’t want to sell the
house either.  Can’t I keep it?  We can rent it out and make a little money
from it.”
    “You’re going to stay with me?  Be
my mate?”  Shauna nibbled her bottom lip and looked up at him through her
lashes then smiled a small happy smile.
    “Cool deal.”  Derek whooped.  “Now,
I got shit to do at work, Mike, Kirk and Naomi, let’s roll.  Connor, Shauna you
stay here and do your claiming, and we’ll see you all later at the barbeque, if
you’re ready to come up for air.  Everybody out, let’s go.”  He waved his keys
in the air.  They marched out and shut the door behind them.  Connor wrapped
his arms around Shauna.
    “Come with me sweet girl.”  Shauna
was nervous, nearly panicky all of a sudden.  “What’s wrong?”  She stepped out
of his arms.
    “I don’t know.  I just…I thought it
would be different.”  Shauna walked back to the kitchen and sipped her coffee. 
He was behind her.  She could feel him there.
    “Different how?”  His arms came
around her and his lips placed soft, warm kisses in a line from her ear to her collarbone. 
“You thought maybe it would be romantic?  You though that your mate would drive
your passion to heights unknown?”  He nibbled her ear lobe and she melted into
him.  Connor took her coffee cup and set it back on the counter.  His arms were
around her middle and his heat wrapped around her making her feel safe.  “Maybe
we should go slowly.  I have a feeling that you’ve never been with anyone
before.  Is that right?”  He kissed her temple and turned her around in his
arms.  “You haven’t, have you?”  Shauna kept her eyes down and shook her head. 
Connor eased her head to his chest.  His cell rang from its place on the
counter next to the coffee pot.  “Be right back.”  His kissed her forehead. 
“Maddock.”  Connor carried the dishes to the sink and ran water over them while
he listened.  “I see.”  His face looked grim and Shauna hoped it wasn’t
serious.  He glanced at her and began loading the dishes into the dishwasher. 
He closed the dishwasher door and leaned on the counter.  “You tell Macgregor
that I said no.  I will not negotiate on that point.  The borders stay as they
are.”  Connor glanced at her bare legs and wet his lips.  She shifted nervously
and suddenly grew antsy.  His brows knitted and he wondered if she needed to
use the bathroom.  “I’m not buying any more of his territory, I don’t need it. 
If he wants a loan tell him to ask.”  Connor blew out a breath.  “Yeah, okay.” 
He pushed the end button and put the phone down.  “Now where were we?”  He
advanced on her. 
    “Who is Macgregor?”  Shauna asked.
