not?”
“Mrs. Humphrey just asked me to bake one hundred cupcakes for her grandson.” Emma sat down on the sofa with a sigh.
“Well, I could come and help you. Kill two birds with one stone and all that.”
“Have you ever baked cupcakes before?” Emma asked, as she smiled to herself. The thought of Travis wearing one of her flowery aprons in her kitchen amused her.
“I used to help bake at home.”
“Come on over then. Be prepared. If you mess it up, then you’re replacing it all.” Emma hung the phone up and headed back into the kitchen. If Travis was really going to help her, then she needed to make sure he knew what he was doing before letting him loose in her expensive kitchen.
Travis rolled into the bakery five minutes later, a smile on his handsome face. Emma tossed him an apron and he cast a disgusted look before donning the garment. She mixed the batter, then she made him scoop the batter in the cupcake trays before putting them in the oven. The system worked well and, soon enough, there were one hundred cupcakes on the table, waiting to be iced.
“Okay, break time.” Travis dragged her away from the kitchen and into the bakery storefront. She watched in silence, as he pushed the sofas out of the way so there was an area on the floor where they could sit.
Travis sat cross legged on the floor and gestured for Emma to do the same. Once they were both sitting on the floor, Travis took a hold of both of Emma’s hands and smiled.
“Okay, close your eyes.”
“Why?”
“Just close your eyes, Emma.”
Emma sighed before closing her eyes and Travis squeezed her hands gently.
“I want you to bring your wolf forward.”
“I don’t know how to do that.”
“Just think of your wolf. Think of how it’s trapped. Think how it needs to be freed.”
Emma scrunched up her nose, as she thought about her wolf. Her head felt funny for a few seconds before a picture appeared behind her eyes. As the gray and white image came into focus, she saw that it was a small wolf with her tail between her legs.
“Tell her you’re sorry.”
“What?” Emma thought Travis was being ridiculous. No way was she saying sorry to an image of a wolf. She wasn’t crazy.
“Emma, you’ve denied her the chance to get to know you and to be free. You need to say sorry to her, so she knows you feel for her. She needs to know that she doesn’t need to be a true animal once you release her.”
“I’m sorry,” she whispered, as tears welled up behind her eyes. If it was true what Travis was saying, then she’d denied her wolf for too long. She could have caused her wolf’s anger each time she was released.
“Good. Now let her out.”
“I don’t want to.”
“We need to get a hold of your wolf before the full moon. When you shift on the full moon, for a while the wolf will take over. We need to control it now.”
“It hurts too much.”
“Open your eyes and watch me.” Emma opened her eyes and was confronted with a bare stomach. Travis was stripping his clothes off in front of her and she couldn’t help but stare at the man’s amazing form.
“Why are you getting naked?”
“I don’t want to rip my clothes.” Travis winked before closing his eyes and taking a deep breath. Emma tried not to stare at his crotch, but it was hard not to, since it was eye level with her. She didn’t have long to stare before a golden glow appeared. Within a second, a burgundy wolf stood in front of her.
The wolf whined and nosed her hand. Emma smiled, as she buried her hand in Travis’ warm fur. When the wolf looked up, she was stunned to see that the wolf still had Travis’ eyes. He wasn’t a wolf for long and, before she knew it, Emma had her hand on naked skin.
“See, no pain.” Travis smiled so big it made her heart ache.
“I’m not sure I can do it.”
“If it hurts, you can bite
