was amazing,” Zora whispered. Drowsiness seeped in and pulled her into its folds.

“Getting sleepy?” he asked when she let out of loud jaw-cracking yawn.

“Not at all.”

He kissed the top of your forehead. “You make a terrible liar. Come on, let’s get you out of here.” This time when Logan washed her, he was all business, using a washcloth instead of his bare hands. He didn’t linger over her sensitive areas longer than necessary.

He dried her off, and then carried her out of the bathroom, not bothering to throw a cover over her. Zora’s modesty had long since vanished where her men were concerned.

It suddenly occurred to her how easily she thought of them as hers. After her last foray into romance, she had vowed to never give her heart away so easily, yet here she was falling for not one but three men she’d only know for a couple weeks. Zora shook her head to push away the niggling sense of doom. She didn’t want to think about what would happen when this vacation ended. They said they would never leave her, but things were often said in the heat of passion. For now, she’d enjoy her time with them and be grateful for it.

Logan didn’t take Zora to the room she’d been sleeping in during her stay. Instead he carried her inside a room with one of the biggest beds she’d ever seen.

“Whose room is this?”

“Mine.” He gave no further explanation. Demonstrating his strength with ease, he held her in one arm and pulled back the covers with another before laying her down and tucking her in. “Get some rest. You’re going to need your strength because tomorrow you’re going to be a busy girl.”

Her body trembled at the thrill his words caused.

“Promise?”

He gave her one of his lazy smiles. “I never go back on my word, sweetheart. I guarantee you, tomorrow we’re going to wear that ass out. Make up for lost time, you know.”

She giggled. “I’ll hold you to that.”

“’Night, sweetheart.”

Zora closed her eyes and fell asleep immediately.

Chapter Ten

The next couple weeks flew by so fast, Logan wondered where the time had gone. He’d always looked forward to his month-long sojourns with his cousins and every year he was reluctant to leave the peace and quiet of their little piece of the world. It was a place where he could be himself, shift if he wanted to, walk around naked if he wanted and not answer to a goddamn person.

This year, the impending return to his outside life filled him with a greater reluctance, because now he would have to share Zora with the rest of the world. If he had his way, it would just be the four of them out here in their wooded paradise forever.

On one of the last few days of their vacation, besides making love and being around Zora, he spent time foraging outside in his bear form. Logan thought better in this form.

Though the last several days had been bliss, something wasn’t quite right. In the beginning when Zora had agreed to stay for the remainder of their time at the cabin, she’d been shy and hesitant in her interaction with them. But after the night when the four of them came together, they’d become a unit.

With Zora, he’d never laughed as loud, teased as much or let his guard down enough to not take things so seriously. He liked that he could talk to her about any topic from the profound to the mundane. He knew his cousins found joy in their time spent with Zora as well. It went beyond making love even though that was always a highlight. The woman oozed sex when she walked into a room. Just the scent of her freshly cleaned skin was enough to make his cock rock hard.

Everything seemed so much better with Zora around.

But in their final days at the cabin, something wasn’t right.

He could feel her pulling away from them again, closing herself off as if she intended to go her separate way when they left here. He didn’t like it one little bit. He’d be damned if he let her walk away from them after they’d waited so long for her to come into their lives. Something was wrong and he intended to find out what it was.

He headed back to the cabin and shifted into
