A Broken Bond Read Free

sa w was indeed correct. A moment ago, he had been getting a cola from the store. Now, a young woman¯she appeared to be in her early twenties¯sat in his car staring at him with wide, frightened eyes.
    It wasn’t her presence that startled him most, or that sh e was a werewolf¯it was the look of her. Simply breathtaking. A Brazilian beauty¯dark, tanned skin, long mocha hair, rounded curves, deep blue eyes that he suspected would be pretty if not in this situation. But that was only the tip of what captivated him . Her scent was intoxicating. His nostrils flared, and his cock stiffened in response to her delectable scent. A reaction that surprised and intrigued him. It had been a long time since a woman had stirred his wolf. With a groan, he forced his mouth to work. “Mind telling me why you are soaking my leather seat?”
    Her eyes grew wider in fear, and tears streamed down her face. “Please¯I’ll tell you everything.” She glanced over her shoulder as if something was hunting her, then met his gaze again with pleading eyes. “I don’t have much time¯please, just drive.”
    Her fright stirred something in him, some protectiveness that made him react. He threw the car in first, slammed on the gas pedal and released the clutch. In mere seconds, the car roared down the wet, slick road. Apparently, he was destined to help this stunning wolf escape.
    Cooke City quickly vanished into the night. Cash took a look in the rear-view mirror to see if whatever had frightened her was following them. Nothing but darkness lay behind. He took a peek out of the corner of his eye and the woman had her arms wrapped around herself as she shivered. On impulse, he turned the heat on and focused the vents on her. It was a warm night, but it appeared she needed the heat.
    “Thank you,” she whispered.
    He took another quick glance in the rear-view mirror. Still, nothing followed. He pulled off the road, sending stones to spray up around his wheels. With a quick move, he put the car in neutral and snapped his gaze toward the woman. “Care to explain now? We are safe here.”
    She slowly glanced toward him. “I...I...” Her voice was soft, sweet and matched the beauty of her tenfold.
    Cash laughed. Watching her stumble amused him more than he thought it should. “That interesting, is it?”
    The woman smiled. Cash focused in on her lips. They were plush and spread perfectly along her face to create a wonderful view of her mouth. For the first time in longer than he could even comprehend, he enjoyed the sight. His cock grew harder as images of her mouth on his body filled his mind. Then, he met her gaze again. She may have been frightened, but her remarkable eyes held spirit. He was curious to discover the woman that lay in those depths and the one that caused his body to react so intensely. He quickly shook his head, focusing away from his demanding groin. “Let’s start with, what is your name?”
    “Rylie,” she answered as she gave a deep sniff.
    “I’m Cash.”
    She nodded, but still said nothing.
    “Are you from around these parts?” Cash asked, digging for a little information.
    “No.”
    Fuck, he was going to spend a lifetime in this car if he didn’t push her a little. Her sadness made him hesitant, but patience had never been his strong point. “Do you have a habit of running into stranger’s cars?”
    “No.” She laughed. The sound of it sent waves of pleasure running down Cash’s spine. “Never.”
    He was glad to hear that. “So then, Rylie. Do tell, why are you in my car?”
    She glanced away from him to look at her hands. “I’m running away.”
    Wonderful, just what Cash needed¯a fucked up runaway to deal with. No matter how much she might be pleasing to look at, he didn’t need the trouble. “Running away from what?”
    “Not what,” she whispered. “Who.”
    That surprised him. “And why are you doing that?”
    “Because I’m in danger.”
    He snorted at the obviousness of that statement.
