open a roll, lathered it with butter, and thrust it toward her. “Eat.”
    To his surprise, her hand wrapped around his wrist as she bent to take a bite.
    She moaned at the taste.
    And he silently groaned. Would she moan so deep and low when he stuffed her mouth with his cock? Before he could give in to the impossible urge to snatch the bread from her mouth and replace it with his throbbing member, his cell phone rang.
    She took the rest of the bread and he retrieved the phone from his front pocket, the fabric tighter than normal thanks to the massive boner he was sporting. He looked at the screen. He wouldn’t have bothered except he’d halfway been expecting a call from one of his twin brothers, Ryland or Ryker. Blackwood Brothers Construction had been experiencing trouble with their latest project. Several break-ins had resulted in sabotage. Equipment had been tampered with and supplies stolen. Tonight his brothers were helping the night watchmen patrol the area. It wasn’t either of his brothers, however; it was his sister.
    He heard Deb’s voice as soon as he connected the call.
    “How’s it going brother-mine?” As he'd predicted, smugness coated her voice.
    He decided to torture her as long as he could. “The restaurant is great, Sis.”
    Paige stilled at his greeting to his sister. Needing to reassure her he was quite happy with how the date was going, he winked. His attention easily caught and held by her heart-shaped face and the rich, brown tumble of curls streaked with gold that framed her face. His cock, having deflated somewhat, popped right back up as she nibbled at her lips. He’d already noticed she did that when she was nervous. He hated that she was nervous.
    He thought of several ways he could make her feel better, all of which included his cock and her pussy and various combinations thereof.
    “Yes, I arrived on time, Deb.” He rolled his eyes, making Paige laugh as she spread butter on another roll. His attention was torn between listening to his sister and watching Paige eat. Was there anything more sensuous than watching a woman enjoy her food?
    Yeah, watching her enjoy our cock, the bear rumbled.
    Right now, every one of his predatory mating instincts focused on the curvaceous woman sitting on the opposite side of the booth. From what he’d observed, she had no idea how appealing she was, nor how she aroused him. All she had to do was look a little lower and she’d know without a shadow of a doubt how much she aroused him. He barely resisted the urge to adjust himself as his trousers restricted once again around his rock-hard cock. He’d be lucky to leave the restaurant with his pants intact.
    “So, was I right?”
    “Yeah.” That’s all he said. He couldn’t very well blurt out yeah, Sis, Paige is my mate and thank you very much for finding her . He did say, “How did you know?”
    He couldn’t see her, but he’d bet a hundred dollars she just shrugged her shoulders. He sometimes gave his sister a hard time—he gave all his siblings a hard time—but he was very proud of each of them. Deb was very modest in her achievements, be it as a wife, a mother or a working professional. Heck, she’d helped a lot of shifters find their mates. Maybe she should start charging for her matchmaking abilities.
    What he wanted to know was why she hadn’t worked harder to introduce him to Paige. She’d apparently had one of her feelings, something Quinn was never going to doubt again. The women had been working together for a little over a month at a top engineering firm. Not only was his mate beautiful, she was very intelligent. She and his sister held degrees in civil engineering.
    He and his brothers had tried to get his sister to work for them. She’d refused, stating she didn’t want to work for a bunch of jackassed bears. They did hire her as a consultant when the need arose. Maybe they could do the same with Paige. Or entice her away from her current employer. He quickly rethought
