When Samantha got out of the bathroom, she found Rider leisurely lying on the bed, eating pizza and drinking beer. He was watching a match on TV without a worry in the world.

«Weren't you in a hurry?» she inquired.

«Hm-mh,» he moaned, but she was sure he didn't even hear her.

He was shining with pride as if he had just won a marathon or conquered a country. She knew what that was due to, and she didn't dare comment.

She had started their second round by taking the lead, but she had ended up doing exactly what Rider would tell her. She didn't know herself what had happened, but he had overturned the situation without moving a finger.

Maybe, she had been influenced by the best climax of her life and just did what he ordered. Still, after everything was done, she regretted it. He had become proud like a peacock, his chest plumped and his expression irritating.

«Come here, Mine,» he said after a while, and she just crossed her arms. Had her image fallen so low that he thought he could just order her around like a dog?

«You should go back to your room,» she pointed out. «First, because you need to shower. And second: we aren't supposed to cuddle and watch a match together. We're not a couple, Rider.»

«Yes, I know. But you're standing there with a pleading expression...»

He turned away from the television and grinned at her. The match was paused, and the ads started. He could afford to look at Samantha for a few minutes.

«What pleading expression? I'm clearly annoyed that you're using my bed and eating my food.»

«I ordered this food.»

«You asked for room service?»

«Yes, of course.»

«With my name?»

«I couldn't use my name and tell them to deliver in your room, could I? Especially because I called from here. I wasn't in the mood to prove my identity, so I just told them to write it on your account.»

She sighed, looking at the shattered glass on the floor and the scratches on the table. The list of odd expenses was rising, and they all were due to a certain black wolf.

«I thought I had been clear last time. We are not a couple.»

«I know,» he said. «And I understood what you meant. I won't do anything you don't like, and I won't try getting closer. I will be a good wolf and appear only when you need sex.»

His face was relaxed, giving her the impression he had understood for real. He, somehow, agreed. There was peace in his mind while talking to her.

«Then, what are you doing here?» she wondered.

«I'm watching the match. Humans have very interesting sports. You should take a look as well: football is awesome!»

«That thing where they jump on each other and the judge arbitrarily decides who was more convinced and gets the ball?» she said.

«That one,» was the reply, accompanied with a nod and a proud smile. As if her answer was something he expected or liked. «Now, do you want to come here and watch it with me or not? Also, the food is almost over and getting cold. You might need to order another one if you don't hurry.»

«No.»

She wouldn't order anything else. Her expenses were going to end on someone's desk. Everyone at the company would have known she wreaked havoc in her room, breaking glasses and drinking beer.

«Okay,» he said, rolling his eyes.

Samantha returned to rubbing her hair with the towel while looking for the hairdryer. Rider followed her moves until the match started again, with which his attention was over.

She sat on the bed quite a while later, and she decided to lie far from him. Two hours were almost over, so he would have been gone soon.

«We need to meet from time to time to keep our bodies and minds in shape,» she said. «But we can't fall in love.»

«Sure,» was the distracted reply.

«And we shouldn't do this kind of thing. We should have sex only when we set an appointment. Take it as a primal need, just like eating or breathing.»

«Yeah...»

His attention was fully on the TV, so she couldn't be sure he was actually listening.

«And we shouldn't, for any reason, allow it to distract us from our packs.»

«Are you saying I'm a bad bodyguard?»

«No, but I would hate it if you had problems because of this. You're on duty, yet I dragged you here just because of this.»

«Oh, Miss Trouble,» he sighed.

He dragged her in his arms, and he reached out for a slice of pizza.

«Eat,» he ordered, and she opened her mouth to take a bite. She was hungry, after all. And also tired.

She was planning to leave the hotel, but she suddenly felt like it was a bad idea. Her plane would depart in a few hours, but she couldn't imagine dealing with all the controls and waiting in that condition.

Oh, she couldn't wait to be in her home. She would have slept until Monday morning!

«I am not distracted from my duty, Mine. I'm taking a break. It wouldn't be your fault if I was, by the way.»

«How... How do you manage everything?»

He shrugged, not knowing how to reply. He was a part of his pack all the time, but he didn't need to run to them at every signal of need. It was impossible, and he knew it. There was some time he needed for himself only, and he would have spent every second of that time with Samantha.

«Do you have plans for the Black Moon? I believe it's better if we schedule a meeting. It's for our bodies' needs. It wouldn't be good to stay apart,» he said. «We can find the perfect frequency to meet by trial and error, but I am sure of one thing: I'm not willing to spend the Black Moon apart from my mate. That would be an unnecessary pain.»

He was doing well. He had managed to look detached and rational.. Just like Samantha wanted him.
