Her CEO Stalker and Her Second Chance Mate (Adelaide) novel Chapter 140

I woke to the loud knock at the door. I groaned, too comfortable with my mate’s naked body

against mine. My arms wrapped tighter around her. Another knock. Briar stirred. I growled in

annoyance. But her eyes opened wide in fear. I ran a hand up and down her arm in an attempt

to sooth her.

“If they are knocking they probably aren’t here for trouble.” I pointed out shucking on some

sweats and heading downstairs. However when I got to the door I reached for ole betty before

I peeked out the peephole and rolled my eyes. Mazzie and Lana were on the doorstep. I

opened the door and greeted them with a scowl.

“Its Sunday, what’s going on? Why are you here at the crack of dawn?”

“Its the anniversary. I figured we should remember together.”

My heart dropped, I had been so tangled up in Briar I had forgotten. Lana brushed past me but

Mazzie caught my eye. It wasn’t that I had forgotten but this woman he had deposited in my

lap had taken my main attention. Jake wouldn’t fault me on that I realized. A presence had me

lifting my eyes to the staircase. Briar stood in nothing but one of my long sleeve tees. When her eyes saw Lana and Mazzie her hand relaxed and the knife she usually carried in her boot

came into view as her body relaxed and it shifted from its hidden place against her forearm.

Lana and Mazzie noticed but ignored it. Pointing out that Brair still struggled with fear would

be stupid. We all knew it was a fear that deserved its merit as much as I hated it. Briar sagged

into the wall for a moment.

“I’m gonna go get dressed,” she announced turning back upstairs. As I watched her disappear, both women behind me gasped. I turned back to them startled.

“What?”

Chapter 140

“Your back Car, when did she shift? You look like you let her sink her claws into you. I flexed

my back and felt the tightness of dried blood. I panicked and snatched my shirt from

yesterday off the couch pulling it on.

“Your neck!” Mazzie exclaimed.
