Carefully, he rose and carried her to the small bed against the wall. His balance sucked, but
he managed to get Tess to the soft surface without dropping her and falling on his face. Thank God for
miracles.
Harding slid her onto the mattress, but his arms didn t want to release her and his cat begged
him not to let go. She was so tiny compared to him, a curvy slip of a woman.
One who d somehow banished whatever pain lingered within him. He felt perfect, unharmed
by what had been happening for the past several days. There were no aches and twinges marring his
movements. The agony that had become a companion was no longer attacking him. With her scream,
her burst of rage, she d gotten rid of it all.
Her scream&
 Someone dared trespass on mine& 
It was too much to hope that her definition of  mine and his were the same.
He withdrew his arms from beneath her but didn t move away. With a gentle touch, he
brushed her hair aside, giving him a clear view of the curve of her cheek and sweep of her neck. He
wanted to nibble her there, lick and taste, then bite. A claiming bite. Yes, he couldn t wait for that,
though he had a feeling lush Tess wouldn t be falling into his arms anytime soon.
The relaxed expression on her face eased his worry. Tess didn t appear to be harmed by what
had just occurred, but he d rather be safe than sorry. He d go to the infirmary and grab the doc, drag
him here to her room if necessary. He wanted her checked out. Period. Patting his pocket, he
confirmed he still had the key. Good. He could lock her in, protecting her from Jackie while he
fetched someone.
One last look at her alluring features and he realized he couldn t resist her. He couldn t leave,
not without a simple&
Harding leaned over her, bracketing her with his arms while he lowered his face. He brushed
a whisper-soft, chaste kiss across her brow. The lion encouraged him, urged him to lie down and pull
the sleeping woman into his arms. Apparently, the cat didn t care if he had an invitation or not.
But he resisted the beast. Slowly he eased away, intent on putting space between them only&
only Tess s arms wrapped around his neck and tugged him closer.
A low murmur was on her lips, but the words were unmistakable.  Harding& Stay& 
 Tess&  His resolve was faltering beneath his human half s desire to be close to her and his
beast s outright demands that he stay put.  I need to get a doc, sweet.
She turned her head and nuzzled him.  No. Fine. Sleepy. Stay.
 You can t even speak in complete sentences, Tess.
She growled and nipped his wrist.  Stay.
With a sigh, he relented.  Lemme scoot you over.
She grinned, her eyes still closed, and he slid her across the mattress until she was against the
wall. He settled at her side, and she curled against him, fitting her luscious curves along the hard
planes of his body as if she belonged there.
Then again. She did.
 Someone dared trespass on what is mine& 
Maybe she realized it, too.

Tess was shaken. Her body and mind had yet to sync and slide into one. Right now she
operated on instinct. And instinct demanded that Harding stay with her, that he was safe.
Safety had been so long in coming. Stone had done his best, but he hadn t pounced between
Jackie and her, hadn t run off the homicidal bitch. Nope, the gorilla had talked, and talked, and talked
about playing well with others. The man had tiptoed around the five of them, afraid of sending one of
them over the edge.
Harding s pain lingered in the air. Oh, it lessened and dispersed with every passing breath,
but its memory still floated around them.
Tess tasted its essence, and the psychic residue of Harding s attacker rolled through her mind.
She noticed hints of Millie s assault from days ago, sensed the shifter s presence, but it was clouded
by something someone else. She let the flavors tumble over her tongue as she sought the source in
her memories. Right now, she wasn t liking what she was finding.
She hugged Harding tighter, welcoming the squeeze that he gave her in response.  You okay?
Tess nuzzled his chest, the after effects of her journey into his mind still making it difficult to
form words.  Mmm& 
Harding chuckled, and then his chest stilled.  I really should get you to a doc, Tess.
 Won t help. She settled deeper into his embrace with a contented sigh. God, when had she
ever felt so safe?
The answer was easy: never.
