---- EXTRA XIII.


    BETTER ONE THAN BOTH BEOF Her footsteps echoed down the antechamber.


    I heard muffled thuds, crieswas she hitting them? My brain was struggling to process everything.


    Debating whether to intervene or not, I wasnt even sure what the hell had just happened here.


    Thad gone from arousal to disappointment, then back to arousal, only to be thrown into utter shock.


    I had no idea how my soldier was still standing at attention.


    Ieaned forward, trying to pull my pants up over my thighsat east enough to face the situation with some dignity.


    I took a few steps across the carpet, figuring out how the hell I was going to shove myself back into my pants with this damn erection.

    But then...


    my nose twitched against her fur.


    Theard her sniffing me in return.


    Doubt flickered in my mind as I sank into the dark cor of her thick pelt: My hands slid up her back, pulling her against my massive frame.
