He said it as though he had only just thought so, that it wasn’t until this very moment that he really saw Sue. Sue swallowed thickly and licked her lips. She didn’t know if she was allowed to ask questions. She didn’t know how this was supposed to work at all. She lay there patiently, waiting for Knight to do something.For Knight, the waiting seemed to be a part of it. He smiled down at Sue, the look of pride back in his eyes.“I’m going to make you feel like I’m the first person to ever touch your body,” Knight promised her. The thing was that Sue believed him. “Condom?”Sue swallowed and looked over to her nightstand. Knight reached over easily and opened the drawer, pulling out a box.She watched as Knight, scooted down his body. The werewolf’s hands ran down along Sue’s flanks, making her shudder. Sue’s breath hitched in anticipation, and then Knight gripped her thighs and pushed them back so that Sue's already wet hole was on full

Knight couldn’t believe he had let this happen. Sue was passed out on the other side of the bed, curled inward around her pillow and snoring softly with her mouth slightly open. It was such a bad idea to sleep with an employee, no matter how cool that employee was about it. The room smelled strongly of Sue. Her scent had permeated the bed sheets and the pillow Knight’s head was currently resting on. There was also the smell of sex, of the two of them mingled, covering them both. It was too heady. Knight’s body felt heavy and warm. He didn’t want to get up and leave it, their comfortable little den, but he knew that eventually he would have to.He rolled onto his side to look at Sue’s sleeping form once more. He didn’t want to wake her, but he also didn’t want to be the dick who snuck out in the middle of the night after a one-night stand, either.“Sue,” he whispered, resting his hand on Sue’s shoulder.“Mmm, I need that bacon,” Sue murmured in her sleep, making Knight smile.“Damn i

To: andrew.s@fangandclaw.comFrom: west.k@fangandclaw.comSubject: You current assignment. There are some things I would like to discuss with you about your article on the werewolf hotels. Please stop by my office when you have a minute. Knight WestEditor-in-Chief, Fang and Claw Magazine. Sue read over the email several times, her heart firmly lodged in her throat. Her first thought was that it was so professional and impersonal, like what had happened between them had meant nothing, which it very well could have to Knight. Then she remembered the email she had sent Sarah and the shit storm that had followed.He could just be acting super professional so as not to draw the wrath of HR Lady, Sue thought. No one wants another seminar.Steeling herself, Sue got up from his desk and walked over to the elevator. Maybe Knight really did just want to talk about the article. She hadn’t been there very long

It was half an hour later that they sat down at the table and started eating. As Sue took her first bites of the ravioli, Knight couldn’t keep his eyes off him. The wolf in him felt elated when Sue closed her eyes and moaned. He felt proud that he had provided for Sue in such a satisfactory way. While they ate, Sue must have noticed the way Knight was watching her so closely. So she finally stopped eating and gave him an amused look.“Why do you seem to like feeding me so much?” Sue asked. “I mean, you look genuinely happy at the sight of me eating.”Knight shrugged dismissively. “It’s you accepting the food. It’s a wolf thing.”“No, don’t do that. You aren’t allowed to do that. From now on, you can never answer a question with a simple, ‘it’s a wolf thing,’” Sue insisted as she speared another ravioli on her fork.Knight sighed and rested his elbow on the table before leaning his head on it. “It’s hard to e

Knight had not woken up in a good mood. He hadn’t slept well at all and his usual morning coffee didn’t taste quite right, even though the barista insisted that everything was the same as always. Including that first night at Sue’s, and the following night at Knight’s, the two of them had shared a bed for four consecutive nights.Above everything else that was pissing him off that morning was the knowledge that the only thing different about last night was that Sue had stayed at her own place.Knight hadn’t thought it a big deal when Sue told him that her new friend Andrew—who apparently worked for him, but Knight couldn’t have picked out of a lineup—had asked her to have drinks with him.It was ridiculous that after just four nights, Knight was so used to having Sue’s body beside him, and her scent in his nose, that he couldn’t sleep without it. It pissed him off, in fact.As the morning wore on, he managed to shake his bad mood a little. He found that focusing on work, the routine
