Heated Moments

" My protection? " I asked, indignantly.

" Cheyanne... " Travis said my name like if he was trying to be patient with me. That got on my nerves even more.

He was walking behind me, trying to grab a hold of my hand.

" I can't believe you just said that! " I snapped.

" It's the truth. I have to know you are safe. "

" Fine, I get that. " I said in a strained voice.

" But did you seriously have to put that, that girl to ' protect ' me? " I didn't need protection but I figured it was better to tackle a problem at a time.

" Lesley is the best female fighter in the pack, I told you that. "

I stopped my rushed walk and turned around to face him. We were just about to reach the stairs and I grabbed the railing for support. I was almost shaking with anger.

" You are seriously not scared that she might try something? I'm not one to back down in a fight but you guys all have a huge advantage over me. " it hurt to say those words but it was true.

I was physically weaker than them. If Lesley tried something, she would succeed because there was only so much I could do to fight her off.

" She won't try anything, I promise. " Travis said trying to reach out for me.

He managed to snake his arms around my waist. I couldn't handle that. Being too close to him always clouded my judgment.

" How do I know that? You trust her but I don't. Just leave me with Caleb. I don't need two babysitters. " I told him.

The words had just left my lips when I felt Travis' claws grazing over my waist and a loud growl rumbled through his chest.

" I am not leaving you alone with a male. " Travis growled at me.

He pressed me impossibly close to his chest and nestled his head in my neck.

" Oh come on, Caleb's your third in command. He won't try anything. It isn't like Caleb is going to kill me or something. "

I ran my hands smoothly over his chest, trying to get him to calm down. He hadn't loosened his tight hold on me, so I knew he was still worked up.

" He's a male. "

I laughed when I caught on to what he was implying.

" I'm not going to hook up with Caleb. " I told him.

It hadn't been my smartest comment.

" You're mine. " he said through gritted teeth.

" I don't want Lesley. If you put her to babysit me, trust me, you don't want to see what I'll do. " I said in an overly sweet voice.

Travis pulled away to stare at me. His eyes had already shifted to a darker color. One would've thought someone had killed his puppy with how he was looking at me.

" I can't leave you alone with another guy. It's not going to happen. Caleb doesn't have a mate. " Travis said.

I rolled my eyes at him.

" Jeez, thanks for the trust. " I muttered.

" I trust you. " he said but his voice sounded unsure.

" Do you. "

" I do, but I don't trust everyone else, especially any guy alone with you. "

" Then put a girl, another girl, any other girl that isn't Lesley. " I suggested.
