    Reba’s private estate on the outskirts of verdale was everything yet expect from a wealthy werewo home–gudeus elegant and secluded enough that the one would hear my mortified

    Oh my god y it again! Lily headed dutching her stomach as tears ofughter streamed


    Reba ever eager toply tapped her phone screen with a wicked grin. “Your wish is mymand”


    The video began ying for what felt like the hundredth time. There was swaying sightly on my feet at the Moonlight Club, my amber eyes unfocused and ssy fem tee much wine. My usually treat thoney hall was tousled as telung to Connor’s chest like a lifeline.


    Conner, my drunk self whined on screen, nuzzing against his firm chest. “Kiss imel Everyone should see


    how much my fiance loves me!


    lunged across the plush sofa, making a desperate grab for Reba’s phone. “Delete it right ince demanded my face burning with embarrassment.


    Reba, with the quick reflexes of a bort werewolf, held the phone high above her head wel out of my


    reach. Her eyes sparkled with mischief as she continued to torment me.


    Net a chance, Liv! This is pure gold–who knew our dignifiedwyer had such a passionate side hiding


    underneath?”


    I groaned and buried my face in a decorative pillow. “I hate both of you. So much”


    Lily’s giggles intensified as she yfully nudged my shoulder. And did you see how Connor responded? He


    couldn’t take his eyes off you for a second.”


    I peeked out from behind my pillow shield, remembering Connor’s intense gaze. The memory sent a different kind of heat coursing through me


    “The way he was looking at you, Reba continued, fanning herself dramatically. Uke he wanted to devour


    you right there in the club.”


    “Stop it,” I mumbled, but there was less conviction in my protest now.


    Lily leaned forward, her expression turning conspiratorial. “So… how is he? You know in bed?”


    I choked on air “Lily?”


    “What?” she asked innocently. “We’re all adults here. And Connor Rivers has a reputation for excellence in


    everything he does. I’m just wondering if that extends to… other areas.”


    Reba’s eyes widened with delight at my obvious difort. Oh my god, you’ve slept with him, haven’t you? Your face is giving everything away!


    I wanted the floor to open up and swallow me whole. These two were worse than a pack of teenage wolves


    with their first crush.

    That he’s amazing: Reba continued,pletely ignoring my distress. “All that Alpha confidence must trante to the bedroom is he gentle? Or more…manding?”


    My checks burned hotter than ever as unbidden memories of Connor’s hands on my body shed through my mind. The way he’d taken control, yet always made sure I wasfortable…


    “Can we please talk about something else?” I pleaded, pulling a cushion over my face.


    Hot until you give us details, Lily insisted, poking my side yfully. “We’ve been waiting years for you two to get together. The least you can do is share a little of the juicy stuff.


    “I’m not discussing my s*x life with you two vultures,” I dered firmly, though my crimson cheeks probably undermined my attempt at dignity.


    Reba opened her mouth, no doubt to continue her merciless teasing, when my phone rang. I practically lunged for it, checking the caller ID with desperate hope,


    Jade Mitchell. My savior


    “I need to take this work emergency, I exined hastily, already backing toward the terrace doors. “Very important. Carit wait”


    I escaped outside before either of them could protest, answering the call with more enthusiasm than any


    work call deserved.


    “Jade! Hit What’s up?” I asked breathlessly


    “Ms. Winters?” Jade’s voice sounded uncertain. “Are you okay? You sound… strange.”


    1 took a deep breath, trying topose myself, “I’m fine. Just… escaping from some friends. What can I help


    you with?”


    As Jade exined the situation at the office–a young woman hade in seeking legal help for a domestic violence case–I felt my professional demeanor sliding back into ce. This was something I could handle. Something that mattered more than my embarrassment.


    “I’ll be there in twenty minutes, I promised, already heading back inside to gather my things.


    Inside, Lily and Reba had moved on to other gossip, their heads close together as they whispered and


    giggled.


    “I have to go, I announced, grabbing my purse. “Client emergency at Moow”


    Lily pouted dramatically “Just when things were getting interesting”


    “Saved by the bell, Reba smirked, knowing exactly what I was doing. “But don’t think this conversation is
