.The coffin was bottomless.“Clever,” Chase admitted.“Come on then.Casper’s getting tired of waiting.”“Casper?”“Your wolf.”“He has a name?”Martin apparently reached the bottom and stepped back a bit to give Chase room.“Sure.Don’t you?”“Well, yeah, but I’m not…” Chase no longer knew what he was, so he just shut up.“Don’t bother with the lid.I’ll go take care of things after you make yourself at home down here.”That would be around the second coming of Christ.Everything in his mind was screaming at him to leave, to chip away at the stone walls with his bare hands if he had to.His gut told him to trust the wolf and his doctor friend.It defied all logic, and yet Chase found his body moving to join his mysterious host before he’d even realized he’d made the decision.It was muggy and hot inside the pit.Mineral rich loam seeped through the wooden slats that created the walls.He could stand up, but his hair scraped the uneven ceiling as Martin led him down a dim corridor.“Where does the fresh air come from?” Chase wondered aloud.“Air vents, weather permitting,” Martin tossed over his shoulder.“Generator when it doesn’t.”The rooms they passed were too dark to see much.Chase relied more on his nose to give him clues about their purpose.One harbored chemicals, the kind that fit Martin’s assertion that this place served as a lab.Another held a strong scent of Martin himself.Perhaps a bedroom or an office, where he’d spent a lot of his time.The next in line was a storeroom, then they passed a collection of cages that had held a multitude of different animals.Most of them were gone now, but their scent still lingered.And then, a few steps further down the dark hall, he smelled sex…Raw, in-your-face sex.And not just by one couple, but rather by a series of individuals, both male and female.It was as if he were inhaling the air that had witnessed hundreds of orgies.Chase paused, momentarily stunned by the overpowering rush that smell brought to his body.A burning heat seared his nerve endings.His skin itched, his cock throbbed and it became almost impossible to focus on anything but the intense, erotic sensations nipping at his nervous system.“In here,” Martin said, stepping sideways to let Chase enter the room before him.Unintentionally Chase brushed against him.Warm, firm muscle met his arm.It set off electric sparks in his already overloaded system.His knees started to buckle.Martin caught him around his waist.“Whoa, you okay?”Chase turned to reply, but his voice died in his throat.He was a bit shorter than Martin, and coming face to face with the meat of his shoulder rendered Chase speechless.He wanted to sink his teeth into it, to feel the flesh part under the pressure of his jaws…A low growl convinced him that would be a very bad idea.“Now, Casper, don’t get your hackles up.I’m just helpin’ the man,” Martin said gently.Chase managed to separate himself from Martin and face the wolf.The brute was bigger than he remembered, or maybe it was the small room that made him look larger than life.And damn healthy for a creature that was supposedly injured so badly that it would take two men to attend to him.“Why isn’t he caged up?” Chase asked, unable to look away from the wolf’s amber eyes.“Because he’s no threat to you or me.” Martin walked over to the large animal.The wolf growled a warning.“Oh, stop that.I’m tryin’ to prove a point to our friend Chase here.”The wolf tolerated Martin’s caress of the fine black fur between his ears.Once.When the man attempted to touch him again, the creature snapped at him.Chase could tell he wasn’t really trying to harm Martin.Nonetheless, he took the warning seriously.No petting the puppy.Got it.Not that he planned on getting all that close to the wolf again.His memories of their time together earlier in the day still haunted the back of his mind.He’d never forget, nor would he ever forgive himself [ Pobierz całość w formacie PDF ]
