Marlo was approaching, and in this moment of heightened senses, Aaron could feel the movement as easily as he could breathe.
    “This is not nothing, sir. Your brother could come home any moment… he can control himself far more than those pups, but he might not believe you can once he sees you like this.”
    “What, like this?” Aaron gestured to himself, shaking his head.
    “Human?”
    Marlo let out a small sigh and Aaron could begin to note the singular scents in the butler’s essence. The smell of fine cotton, silk, suede. The scent of salt in sweat and the notes of blood still caught between the man’s teeth. He had fed recently.
    Suddenly, his stomach lurched, igniting a desire to run, to shift and to hunt .
    Aaron took in a sharp breath, clenching his fingers over the arm rests of his plush seat. Marlo waited.
    “Please,” the old man whispered.
    “Consider going out for the night, just for a few hours until you’re certain that you can control this.”
    Aaron’s lips peeled back over his teeth in a half snarl, “I already said I’m-”
    In the distance, a howl rose in crescendo among the noises of the night and Aaron could feel his blood beg him to sing along. No. Forget it.
    “Sir, please do not deny this part of yourself.”
    Damn you Lucas. The bastard didn’t know when to quit.
    “Lock the door, Marlo.”
    Aaron ordered, focusing his energy on the single opal sitting innocently on his desk.
    The butler said nothing else before disappearing into the dark, the sound of the door locking clicked as a final warning to Aaron’s ears.
    Aaron fell back against the seat, gasping as he was overwhelmed with urges that battled and made war in his chest, threatened to split him in half between multiple desires. Without warning, they conjoined into one image.
    The unexpected desire in his blood shot straight to his groin as he pictured Cecilia, snorting out a laugh that grew in energy.
    He had been surprised, his eyes falling to the way her pulse that thrummed in her throat, and the way the sunlight had curved over her cheeks and bounced off within the hazel irises of her eyes.
    Hazel… like the essence of the opal sitting on his desk.
    I…want her.
    Aaron let his hands fall quickly toward his crotch, fingering the edge of his pants to slid open and allow himself to spring into his palm. Aaron tugged and pulled at himself, savoring each touch on his member as though it were her palms grazing him.
    Her scent was sweet, intoxicating to him and making his mind spin.
    The moonlight continued its symphony within his blood, singing dark notes of lust into his ears that made his hips buck and his teeth dug into his lip, urging him to take his desire from his palms and into hers.
    I want her.
    No. he couldn’t afford behaving like a beast… Lucas had saved her from the less controlled animals… he would not become one of them.
    With a grunt, Aaron found himself becoming enraptured by the single image of Cecilia’s smiling face, the way her lips has parted into pretty bows of cherry red when she had seen the stones in his desk.
    She was a gentle soul, a woman who had retained innocence in a small speck of a town.
    She was beautiful…
    And…
    I want her.
    With a low growl that rose in his chest and escaped past sharpening teeth, Aaron allowed his body to spill into his fingers.
    He did not want to risk her… anymore than he wanted to risk himself.
    This wasn’t wise, but Aaron wanted to approach her a little further, hope that her presence would continue to encourage his heart to seek a more human style of life.
    Maybe… just maybe… he would be able to wipe away the wolf that howled in his blood, and become something closer of a human. Less like an animal.
    There was little else he wanted more than that.

Cecilia woke in the middle of the night, drenched in sweat and shaking from nightmares that threatened her. She startled awake, frightened and crying out for Rocko, but when no one came, she remembered
