The Protector's Heart (Wilde Creek Three)
“Every now and then she’d hear a ladder moving around, some drilling, and the occasional muffled curse. She put both of their dinners in the oven to keep warm and got Jack ready for bed. By the time Malachi came inside, Jack was snoozing in the bedroom with the door shut, and she was positively starving.
“Come eat, Mal.”
He took off his coat and toed off his boots.
“You called me Mal.”
“Sorry. Brynn does. Is that a nickname just for her?” She felt a little stab of jealousy.
“No, not at all. My s...ister does, too. I like you calling me that.”
He followed her into the kitchen, and her heart started thumping. She’d never really cared if anyone liked her cooking before. Jack was easy and her biggest fan, but serving Malachi dinner suddenly seemed stupid. If he hated her cooking, he might not want to come over anymore.
She gave herself an internal shake. She still wasn’t one hundred percent sure what she wanted to do with Malachi anyway. He might be gorgeous, but he was still a wolf, and she’d never had good luck with wolves.MoreLess
