Arlin doesn't want responsibility. He doesn't want to be a pack Alpha. He definitely doesn't want the job of protecting the vet. Ruth's an Ice Queen and she's really cramping Arlin's freewheeling take-what'll-have-you style. Especially since Ruth smells like sex. How can a woman so cold smell so incredibly hot?
Ruth wants to think Arlin is just a kid. A very sexy kid and nothing more. Too bad for her she has to trust him with her life -- and what's more, with all of her secrets. It'd be so much easier if she could keep on being the Ice Queen, but she feels like such an animal around him. |
