“Thank you.” Torrent felt elated. “I will make sure that you don’t regret it. I want you to be more comfortable. I need you to write down a list of things that you need. Anything, big or small. You can start with clothing. Make sure you add sizes.” He felt everything in him soften as he looked at her. “It won’t be so bad, I promise. I’m glad you are giving us a chance. I want it to be your choice though. If, in the end, you decide you still want out, I’ll take you back.”

Candy seemed to relax. “Do you mean that?”

He nodded. It killed him to say it but he couldn’t be with a female that wasn’t one hundred percent onboard. “Yes.”

She gave a small nod. “Okay then.”

Chapter 9

After knocking, Torrent walked inside a few beats later. He was carrying an enormous tray. The most wonderful smells wafted towards her.

Her stomach made a soft growling sound and she pressed her hand against it. She had since showered and changed into another pair of sweats. She’d rolled the sleeves and the pants around the waist. All of the clothes were too big.

Torrent smiled. “Hungry?”

How did he hear that? Oh yes, shifters had much better senses than humans. “You have no idea.”

“Good.” His smile widened. “I brought all of the foods that you said you liked.”

“All of them?” She could hear the shock in her voice. “That’s a ton of food.”

He nodded. “Burgers and french fries, pizza, tacos and brownies.”

Her stomach growled again, louder this time. “Yum.” Not that the food up until then had been bad or anything. It was just all so healthy. Meat and salad. Although healthy was good, sometimes a little unhealthy was required and today was one of those days.

“My males will bring back sushi when they go to town tomorrow to pick up your supplies.”

She felt her cheeks heat. “You’re going to send a bunch of guys to buy the stuff for me?”

He nodded, a frown appeared on his forehead. “Is that a problem? Two males will go and get you your list of items.”

“I put a couple of feminine things on the list. I guess I don’t mind. I feel a bit sorry for them though.” She giggled, putting her hand in front of her mouth. She could just imagine how it would look. A couple of big burly guys were going to have to buy her tampons and underwear. There were also a couple of steamy romance novel titles and a woman’s magazine or two on the list. There were one or two others things on there that she suddenly wished she had left off. She could just picture how the checkout person’s mouth would gape.
