Silver Creek interruptus

grayson missed the end of what oryx had said, and so he did not press her. but since addison asked, grayson would give her the run down. of all the women he'd ever met, addison was the most dedicated to her duties as a woman. he trusted her with important information solely on the grounds that she would return to the other women and keep them in check. "all is well," he told her anyway, because it was. but...

"you should check with lilah, when you are rested," he added, expression darkening, "she rose her voice at me and threw insults my way because i did not return her feelings-- she is in love with me, it seemed." with a flick of his ear, the large odolf man added, "and she's in heat. she thinks i'm holding her prisoner alone but she does not understand that some men will do anything to a woman in heat." 

she was so stupid. so ignorant. she hated him because she thought he was cruel. oh, boo hoo. grayson was only doing what was best for her. "and we don't need a bastard litter."
