I really loved how Rebel had some self control when it came to Charlotte, "who did this?" My voice was a deep, throaty rumble. My wolf wanted his turn, needed vengeance on whoever harmed his mate, but I fought the instinct." I think Rebel is pleased by some of his mate's actions, "one second, I s...
Sariel dangled her foot off the cot, letting her toes drag back and forth across the wood floor. “I was thinking of heading to the pool. Maybe soak up some sun, work on my tan, and have the cabana boys bring me margaritas all afternoon.” Angelita giggled, a sound that brou...
Whatever Saern said had upset him to the point of losing control. Without a second’s hesitation, Piers lunged for Saern, the two connecting in a flurry of fists and snarls. Six trainers rushed into the ring, all diving at the fighting pair. I watched in horror, wishing I could do something. Wishi...
He wasn’t attacking in any way. Instead, he moved and dodged his opponent’s punches, simply avoiding being hit. Bouncing back and forth, weaving around the other fighter. It was a beautiful display of his athleticism, and yet terrifying. “He’s so fucking smart.” Piers soun...
Finn sat across from her as he had every morning since the party, attacking her choices in that niggling way of his. The man was a bulldog, completely unable to let go of something once he zeroed in on it. He pushed and prodded while she stood fast to her convictions and plans. Two people at oppo...
I slammed my hand against the steering wheel, sending sparks flying as my emotions took control. I’d never been more furious with myself. What was I thinking? Why didn’t I stay with Shadow and give myself a few minutes to calm down so we could talk about things like adults? Why did I have to be s...
The diner had been busy all day; not as busy as a pot roast day, but steady. She’d have to try another comfort food item for a special next week. Maybe chicken-fried steak or roasted turkey. The holidays were long gone. Her customers could be missing those fall smells. Definitely something to thi...
Pup was everything I could have ever asked for. Strong, gorgeous, loving, kind…everything. The way he let me decide how far and how fast we went physically without making me beg or plead or even ask for what I wanted was so refreshing. The way he kept whispering the question “Yes?” and how he wat...
I whispered against her lips, diving in again and again for more kisses. Deep kisses. Long, slow kisses. Breaking apart to breathe, to pull her closer, and to keep whispering. “Amazing. I’m so lucky.” The fact that she couldn’t hear me didn’t matter. I couldn’t hold in the...
The talk had done us good, as had the two rounds of intimate play. I felt more connected to her than before. It’d broken my heart to see the doubt and pain on her face when that fucker used my protective instincts to imply that I didn’t want her. She was funny and beautiful, witty and smart, and ...
Ariel paced the kitchen, staying far away from Thaus’ packmate, Mammon. It wasn’t that she didn’t trust him, she just didn’t know him. Okay, fine. She didn’t trust him. She wanted to because he was with Thaus, but that wasn’t happening. He was a big, scary, wolf shifter wi...
