    A Touch of Class

      She gritted her teeth against what had to be done. “Emma, honey, let the nice man go and come to Mama.” She bent down to catch the little scamp, who abandoned her new friend as soon as her mother caught up with her.

      Emma tucked up close to her heart, Tracy looked up to meet Hank’s sky-blue gaze. He looked crestfallen for a split second before he pasted a congenial expression on his face.

      “Hi, Tracy,” he said, his deep voice hitting down deep in the place where her wolf howled in welcome. “Long time, no see.”

      “Hello, Hank.” She couldn’t say anything else. Emotion nearly choked her as she stood, lifting her baby girl in her arms.

      Emma was getting big, but Tracy was a wolf. She could easily carry Emma, who clung to her neck, though she turned her head to look Hank. Her big blue eyes watched him curiously.

      Hank looked confused, but he hid it after a second.

      “I was wondering, if you haven’t already eaten, would you—and your daughter—like to have lunch with me?”

      Brave man to ask her to share a meal in a lobby filled with her Pack mates. They all knew he was a cat. He smelled feline…and ferocious, she’d always thought. Forbidden.

      Cats and dogs didn’t mix. At least according to her father. But she’d liked the way she and Hank had mixed during their stolen night together. She’d liked it a lot.

      And the little girl wriggling in her arms was proof of that. Tracy opened her mouth to answer his question when a wave of shifter magic caught her unawares…
