Soon, the smell of roasting rabbit and deer filled the air. When the meat was ready, they carried it inside on platters and ate at the kitchen table, accompanied by beer for the guys, and soda for Tad. “Can I go, dad?” Tad demanded, the moment he was finished eating. ...
Jessica asked, emerging from the restroom in the Shiftr office. She was wearing a black, knee-length polka dot swing skirt and a black, low-cut top with a sweetheart neckline. “You look gorgeous, my dear,” Tamika exclaimed. “Who’s the lucky guy?” “T...
Peter’s address was easy to find, since Isabel had already had some points of reference in Black Peak City when she’d looked it up on the map. “So, this is The Wolf’s house,” she murmured, pulling into his driveway. It was a long, low-slung, sand-colored bungalow, like most of the houses in the n...
It was like the call of an animal, far, far away. It’s Adaira, he thought. Then wondered why he’d thought that. No. It was more likely to be an owl. He tilted his head and listened for it again. It didn’t come. Had he imagined it? Already, the memory of the sound had gone. He stood up and looked ...
It’s something kids do, not 36-year old women, whose boyfriends have left them for the office intern. But her best friend Lauren has a secret she’s bursting to share: there are men out there who absolutely love voluptuous girls like her. All Dina has to do is tap Shiftr, the cute little paw-print...
There was a lounger, three quarters turned away from her, and on it was a figure. The figure wasn’t lounging though. It was sitting hunched forward on the edge of the seat. It had its back to her, but it looked very much like Josie. Josie? What? How? Isabel’s knees went weak and her head span. Sh...
Isabel was incandescent with frustration. Fragments from the night before kept insinuating themselves into her mind: the scent of his skin; the thrill of his teeth grazing her neck; the way the animal skins complemented the velvety tautness of his torso. She lolled around her flat, daydreaming, r...
He seemed to be looking for something, and she watched him drowsily, eyes half-open, so he didn’t notice she was awake. He had such a hot, masculine body. There was nothing self-conscious or preening about him; he had real, human flesh on his muscles, and there were little scars on his body here ...
It had been fractious the whole way there, claws fretting at his skin, muscles twitching, little snarls periodically escaping from between its jaws. Chase knew what was wrong. He hated being so far from home, and he badly needed to shift, to reassert his place in the universe. Not much longer now...
The chink of light coming from between her curtains was like an icepick in her brain. She kept the house as dark as possible, and only staggered out to get a glass of water from time to time. “How did you get here?” Isabel asked, opening her door to Kara early in the evening. “It was fine! I got ...
Her heart leapt. After three years of being with Connor, she was no less excited to see him than when they’d first met. She yanked the front door open and tore across the driveway. “Hey, babe!” her handsome mate said in his deep growly voice. As she ran up to him, he lifte...
The grunts of exertion and pain. The crack of bones. The ripe mingled scents of perspiration, bear and fear. The screams of a thousand fans going wild. It had been five long years since Xander had last experienced that heady concoction, but it was home. And he was all too aware that it was about ...
