*Nikko's POV*
It had been only a little over a day since I had seen Jo, and I was already going crazy. Whenever I closed my eyes, I could see her standing there in that towel smiling at me…it was almost enough to make me drive all the way to her house and drag her back with me. I stared at the computer screen on my desk and tried to get myself to focus on anything besides my thoughts of her.
A knock came on the door and, grateful for the distraction, I instantly said, "Come in."
Byron walked in and shut the door behind himself.
"Hello, Alpha," he said. "How are you feeling today?"
"What do you think?" I asked.
"Ah, just as irritable as yesterday I see," he said, trying and failing to hide a smile.
Ash growled from inside of me. Neither of us were very patient. Byron came closer and sat down across from me.
"So, what did you call me for?" he asked.
