I move through her house and out the front door. Once I’m in my truck I shake my head. What the fuck am I doing? I shouldn’t have touched her. She’s a fucking kindergarten teacher. Why couldn’t my mate be a stripper or a bartender? Brenna deserves better than me.
Once I get to the clubhouse I grab a bottle of Jack, and take a huge swig. I find DoRight back by the pool tables. “What’s up, brother?” he asks as I hand him the bottle. He takes a swig and then hands it back.
“Found my mate, fucked her, wanted to mark her, but didn’t and then I fucking left.” Did I really just spit all that shit out?
He looks at his phone and then back up at me. “It’s been like five hours. What the fuck? Why did you leave?”
I pull out a joint, lighting it before passing it to DoRight. We pass it back and forth a couple of times. “I fuck and then kick them to the curb. I don’t do the getting to know you, but that’s what we fucking did tonight and it was weird and it kind of fucked with me.”
DoRight takes the joint from me and hits it. “Fuck man, it’s understandable. We go from fucking lots of different women to only wanting one. No matter what, no other women will do. I love Vicktoria and every day with her gets better and better.” He stuffs his phone in his pocket. “Speaking of my girl, I’ve got to head home.”
I head down the hallway to my bedroom. I decide against a shower, not ready to wash Brenna’s scent off of me yet.
I pull into the parking lot of Jefferson Elementary and park my bike. I’m not sure why I’m here, but I know it’s been two days since I last saw Brenna and I can’t stop thinking about her.
I’ve jerked off so much in the past forty-eight hours I’m surprised I haven’t developed a callous. I know she’s got to be mad at me for leaving like I did so I went out to the cabin earlier. I set it up so I could initiate my plan of seduction.
I need to convince her to want to mate with me, to fall in love with me, and to spend the rest of her life with me. It’s not going to be easy because we don’t really know each other, but I can’t ignore the pull, the call.
I look at my phone and see that I have ten minutes before she comes out. I disappear into the trees and light up a cigarette. I don’t need someone from the school coming out and getting in my face.
When the bell rings I watch kids exit the building. I spot Rhys, Hailey and BJ climbing into Vicktoria’s SUV. They wave at me as they drive by. We’re watching Butch closely, but hopefully our talk with him woke his shit up.
Once the kids are all gone I watch some of the teachers start to come out. Damn, where were all these good looking teachers when I was in grade school? If I had teachers that looked like these then I never would’ve missed a day.
A few minutes later I spot her walking out. Fuck me, she’s beautiful. The sun shines down on her brown hair, showing off golden highlights. Her hair is down and it hangs down to the middle of her back.
She’s in black leggings and black riding boots and a red V-neck sweater. Brenna is not showing off any of her body, really, but she’s still the most gorgeous woman I’ve ever seen.
Any time she’s near the scent of strawberries wraps around me. My cock is hard as hell right now. She’s completely unaware of what’s going on around her, but sadness comes off of her in waves.
I start walking toward her—the desire to hold her hits me square in the chest. When I’m a hundred yards away from her she freezes and then looks up.

Brenna
My heart hammers in my chest as Slash walks toward me. The night we slept together I had cried myself to sleep after he practically jumped out of my bed and then took off without so much as a have a nice life.
Of course wasn’t that what I was looking for? I knew it was going to be a one-time thing. That didn’t stop it from hurting any less. It’s time to put on my big girl panties and accept his rejection. “What are you doing here, Dylan?”
“I wanted to apologize for the other night, but, babe, you scare the fuck out of me.”
I know I’m looking at him skeptically, but how can I—five feet nothing scare this large man? “I scare you? I find that hard to believe.”
“Baby, look at me. I have no trouble getting women to warm my bed.” I roll my eyes. “One night with you and I can’t stop thinking about you. I’ve jerked off so many times I’m surprised there’s any skin left on my dick—that’s the truth because I’m not going to lie to make you feel better. I have never led anyone on or led anyone to believe I wanted more than sex with them.”
“If you’re scared, why are you here now?” I cross my arms over my chest
“I want you, Brenna. We owe it to ourselves to see if there truly is something between us.”
I look at him closely and start to laugh. “You look like you’re in pain. I’m sure it’s tough when women don’t fall at your feet.”
“Let me make you dinner tonight, please.”
The little voice inside me tells me to say yes, but
