Seducing The Wolf - By Marisa Chenery Page 0,26
Before heading for the bathroom, she turned her head to look over her shoulder at him. He was looking at her with his eyes doing that glowing thing again. After seeing his eyes glowing every time they had made love during the night, Billie strangely didn't find it so weird anymore. Same with the animalistic growls he made. If anything, they turned her on. Sighing once more, she turned back around and headed for the bathroom.

After Royce dropped her off at her apartment, Billie took only enough time to take a shower and change her clothes before she headed out to the gym. As she drove through the late morning traffic, she found herself already starting to miss Royce, and she couldn't help but feel that it made her pretty pathetic. It hadn't even been an hour since she'd last seen him.
Finally arriving at the gym, Billie headed for the entrance. She took a deep breath before she went inside. She knew what she would find. No sooner had she let the door go so it could swing closed behind her, she found herself surrounded by all four of her brothers.
"Well, would you look at that? I have my very own welcoming committee waiting for me. Now don't I feel special?"
This time it wasn't Keegan or Hayes who confronted her, it was the twins. "We saw you last night at Wulf's Den, Billie," Finn said while Eli nodded his head in agreement.
"What? Are you guys following me now?"
"No. We just happened to be there. Eli and I have been there a couple times already. We've decided Wulf's Den is going to be our regular place to go out at night. The girls are definitely hot." Finn stopped speaking when Eli loudly cleared his throat to let him know he was getting off topic.
"I see. So you just happened to show up at Wulf's Den the same time Royce and I were there because you have now decided the women are better looking there than any place else. If that is the case, then how come I didn't see the both of you?"
Eli snorted. "As if you would have noticed us even if we were standing right in front of you. The way you and Royce were looking at each other when you left the club, it was easy to see what you two were leaving to do."
"And you and Finn were only at Wulf's Den to find some women to discuss politics with," Billie snapped back. "Look, I have stuff to do before I can leave for the day, and I would very much like to get at it. And before you bring up the topic of my dress, yes, I wore the one in the picture Janice sent to you all. End of story."
"Leave your sister alone, boys."
Peering around her brothers, Billie saw her father standing behind them. After the boys moved off, she went over to him. "Thanks, Dad, for getting them to back off. I'm really not in the mood for their protectiveness today."
Billie had no idea what was wrong with her. She was feeling antsy and out of sorts with herself. The more she thought about Royce, the worse it became. She was turning into one of those girls who obsessed over their boyfriends, and she didn't like it one bit.
"I could tell." Her father looked at her for a few seconds before he continued. "This Royce must be something special. In the past you never let your brothers get to you quite so much."
"I guess you could say that he is." Billie sighed. "I hope it's that way. I really don't know."
Her father nodded. "I'll try and put a rein on your brothers then. Just promise me you won't fall too hard, or too fast for Royce until you know for sure he's the one. I know from personal experience that it doesn't always work out, no matter how hard you try to keep it going."
"I promise."
Billie knew he was referring to her mother. She had been the love of her father's life and he had not been able to forget her, or get over her leaving him. That was the main reason why Tom York had never remarried, let alone dated another woman. Going up on tiptoe, Billie kissed her father's cheek before she left him standing in the gym's lobby.

She was losing it. That had to be the only logical explanation for what she was going through. It was
