seems to be a wonderful cook.”

They both glanced at her and raised their cups.

“Thank you, Jaynee,” they said in unison. She blushed. Dare reached down and rubbed his crotch, already needing to bury his cock in her tight sheath again.

He glanced in Luc’s direction. He noticed the pained expression on the other man’s face and was relieved to see that he wasn’t the only one affected by her beauty.

Luc shifted in his seat. “I contacted my people to let them know I’m fine.” He tossed the communicator at Dare. “I would suggest that you do the same. Your people are threatening war against both my people and the

“Pack?” Jaynee swallowed and licked her lips. Her gaze darted nervously between them. “I don’t plan to go anywhere. This is my home.” She held her arms wide, as if to encompass the entire shop and dwelling. “You can’t expect me to just pick up and leave.”

Dare sat down at the table and sighed. He should have known it was too good to be true. He should have known this was all too easy. What if he didn’t have a mate and allies after all? What if they refused him, refused his needs? If they did, he’d never have another family, children of his own. He had to try and make her understand, make them both understand.
