BOOK BLURB
The Prophecy - "Every generation the nine daughters of Zeus are reborn, and with their rebirth are also nine Guardians. They will be marked by the gods, and given gifts to protect his treasure. Their abilities will only be unlocked when they find their muse."
Callie O'Connor's life has never been the same since the Muse of Epic Poetry came alive inside of her. Now she's on the other side of the country, working as civilian psychologist for the Navy, and leading her Muse sisters in their quest to reopen the Theater of the Muses.
But nothing could have prepared her for Hunter Armstrong. He's a Navy SEAL, driven, confident, and dangerous. And he plans to do more than just protect her.
The gods couldn't have picked a better Guardian. But as Hunter soon discovers, Callie has some skeletons of her own in the closet, and loving her could lead to his destruction.
MY REVIEW
This is the second book in the Muse Chronicles . This is a great new series and in book two we are introduced to Callie and Hunter .

MERRY CHRISTMAS
Good day all , I know its been a weeks since I posted . Its been a very hectic week around here . The temperatures have bottomed out here on the farm and Christmas is rapidly approaching . I have been doing some thinking and contemplating . As you know the book world is very competitive and authors are always trying to get their books out there .
I just want to take a moment to say a big thank you to all the authors that have graciously let me read their books and write about them. You have taken me to places that you can only travel in my mind. I have been in the zombie apocalypse kicking butt and channeling my inner Carol . I have been transported back to a time where you were tortured and killed for being different and being called a witch . I never knew how evil the church could be . I have been to the shores of beautiful islands in the arms of a leading man that would make you swoon . Then I have been chasing monsters with hot sexy vampires and werewolves . I have had devolved into dark fantasies that are taboo to most people . I have been on the back of a motorcycle holding on to a hot sexy biker that will melt your panties .
I guess what I am saying is THANK YOU to all of you who have the courage to sit down and write, taking the ideas and writing them down and making them into a story that others can enjoy. So please take the time and open a good book this Christmas . Enjoy the escape they give you .
Now just want to wish everyone authors and readers a very MERRY CHRISTMAS and all the best in 2017. I hope to see you all next year with more great books and great blog posts . \
LOVE YOU ALL

Good Tuesday all
Its already the 6th of December and I am bringing you a book that well kind of blew my socks off in a way . It actually is my first ever biker book I have read . So let me introduce you to ROAD TO NOWHERE by M. Robinson
BOOK BLURB
From USA Today Bestselling Author M. Robinson
I once read that every warrior hoped an honorable death would find him. I always went looking for mine, but not even the Reaper wanted me.
I was trained to kill. I was trained to not ask why. To take orders and just march in line. Hooah motherfucker.
Life or death.
Ride or die.
And I’m not only talking about the military. I’m talking about the life that led me on the road to nowhere.
My life.
I fought for my brothers.
I fought for my family.
I fought for my country.
And I fought for her…
Never realizing I might die for them too.
MY REVIEW
This is my first foray into the world of the biker gang and the dynamics behind them . What it takes to be in the gang and stay in the gang . Then when that one incident tears the fabric of on persons soul. That's what happens in this book , it will take you to a place that you don't want to go. I honestly shed quite a few tears as I read this book . What the author puts her characters through is just sheer torture on the reader . You want to just hug and sometimes kick the main character in the ass .
The characters are so well written and you will love the complexity of them . Creed is the type of guy you really want to either slap him upside the head a few times or hug him and tell him every thing will be alright . He has had so much tragedy in his life from an early age and it just keeps piling up on him. Being the son of the president of the biker gang has its perks and its down side. He is sexy as hell and has one cocky attitude . He has the power and he knows how use it. I really liked him and wanted to see him get what he really wants . Mia is a spitfire who even at the age of 10 she knows what she wants and is tired of being treated like a baby by her parents . We never loose track o her as she grows up living parallel life . We see her and Creed interact on some different occasions . She may be all sweet and innocent , there is something about her that will make you say to yourself , she is going to be trouble when she is older .
I read this book in a day and a half , I couldn't put it down . The author has a way with words that will bring out so much emotion . I laughed and cried and got angry a few times . The story flowed with such ease and you will get lost in the gang. I am going find out more about this author. I am intrigued with her writing and want to read more from this author . So if you want a sexy book that will keep you on the edge of your seat .

GOOD THURSDAY EVERYONE
Good Thursday all and happy first day of advent . Today we are going to review a great book by a wonderful author. BEAUTIFUL DARKNESS. Masie (Daughters of the Highland Darkness book 1) by Victoria Zak .
BOOK BLURB
Step into the sexy world of the Fae Vampire sisters from the Scottish Highlands....
The Highlands are full of magic and fae trickery. Adaira, Leana, and Masie Keith know this all too well. Destined to change their fate, but unprepared for the truth, their journey begins as the sisters grow accustomed to their dark sides—forever beautiful—forever blood drinkers—forever Baobhan sith.
Accused of murdering their laird’s son, Masie and her sisters flee their home.
Masie is immediately conflicted, especially after she's captured by Clan Gunn and falls in love with the laird's brother. Her true identity must remain a secret. For if she tells her Highlander who and what she really is, she could be burned as a witch. And Masie would never endanger her beloved sisters.
The last thing Commander Kerr Gunn saw in his future was falling in love with a lass from Clan Keith, his greatest enemy. The moment he laid eyes on her, he was under her spell. With the woman he loves wanted for murder, will he surrender Masie to her clan to stand trial or protect her with his sword and fierce heart?
MY REVIEW
I couldn't wait to get my hands on this book, I have been getting teased with the premise of this book since I found out the author was writing it . This is the first book in a brand new series full of love, loyalty mystery and some intrigue . So lets head to the highlands and get introduced to Masie an Kerr .
This is such a great story we have three young sisters who want to change the fate of their family and have their father die to save their mother . The night of the full moon they make their wish and the fairie fire dances . Taking the three sisters to their destiny . A destiny that non of them wanted . Taken by the winter queen they are changed into fae vampires . When they finally escape the unseelie court they head back home to their clan. Until the day they must run after something horrible happens . They stumble upon a battle field where their lives are changed forever by .
I fell in love with the characters in this book . Masie is such a sweet young lass , the youngest of the sisters who just wanted the best for everyone . She radiates such warmth and caring . She has such a pure soul and you can't help but fall in love with her . You just want to wrap her up and stick her on a shelf to protect her . But she comes out tougher then we all realize, she turns out to be a strong willed woman and a fighter for all those she loves . Kerr Gunn is one character that you don't know what you should do with him, throttle him or throw him down on the furs and your way with him . He is the commander of the Clan Gunn who have been at war with Masie's clan for like forever. He is torn between his duty and the feeling he has for one miss Masie . He goes from strong alpha commander to a babbling idiot when Masie is concerned . I just loved how he just went on instinct and protected Masie at the market . I won't go into details but it was so sweet . He may be tough on the outside but he is a big marshmallow on the inside . They are so good together and will protect each other until the end .
This is a great read for those winter nights by the fire . I read it in a morning and I have never giggled and sighed so much in my life . The characters are well written and complex and the story is fresh. You will be taken on a breathtaking adventure full of love and romance and some great intrigue. Check out BEAUTIFUL DARKNESS you will not be disappointed

GOOD WEDNESDAY ALL
Good Wednesday all , now that I have my head screwed on straight and I can see again . We are going to review BECOMING A LEGEND by Sarah Robinson
BOOK BLURB
From the author of Saving a Legend (“A deep and moving story about family, acceptance, and love.”—Katy Evans) comes another smoldering MMA romance featuring the Kavanagh brothers, the chiseled alpha males whose real legacy is love.
Kane Kavanagh has always had one goal: being the best mixed martial arts fighter alive. With the MMA National Championships in Las Vegas fast approaching, the man they call “Killer” has no intention of letting anyone or anything get in his way. Somehow, though, a feisty opponent has slipped beneath his guard—and stolen his heart. Fiery and passionate, Nora Hannigan is harder to pin down than any rival Kane has faced in the ring. And she isn’t afraid to tell Kane that she wants nothing to do with him.
With her best friend about to marry into the Kavanagh family, Nora has been resisting Kane’s shameless attempts at flirting for months. But after their undeniable chemistry finally takes over, leading to the hottest night of Nora’s life, she’s running scared. There’s a lot about her life Kane doesn’t know, and she won’t be responsible for ending his career. Now Kane’s out to prove that he’s ready for commitment by winning her heart—and he’s never lost a fight.
MY REVIEW
This is book three in the Kavanagh series and it is middle brother Kane's book. Kane is in training for the MMA Championship in Vegas . He doesn't want to get tied down with anything or anyone but Nora his brothers fiancée's best friend . Keeps getting under his skin as much as he tries to ignore his feeling . She is there but its not all what it seems . She keeps pushing him away but when the heart wants what the heart wants . There is no denying it .
I really liked the characters in this book they are all strong complex characters . Kane is the kind of guy that you see everywhere . The guy that wants no strings and isn't looking for a long term. He is the middle child and also a twin so we see him as kind of the forgotten one . He is trying to prove to everyone that he is as good as his brothers . But as you dive deeper into the story you see him evolve and grow as he gets to know Nora. Nora is sassy and sweet all rolled into one gorgeous girl . But she does have her secrets that she wants no one to find out about . She rebuffs Kane's advances for such a long time . You see her fight her desires all the way through this book. You actually can feel the heat between these two characters when they are together . The rest of the Kavanagh clan are back and plotting and supporting these two as they make their way to each other.
This book had me up all night I just couldn't put it down . Sarah outdid herself with this one . The characters are well written and the story moves at a fast pace . I like how the author brought back all the other characters from her other books to be part of this one . They made the book a fun read .
This was a fast read and really enjoyed this one. I must say Kane is by far the funniest and sweetest brother out of them . So if you want a good read that has love and some mystery and intrigue . Check out BECOMING A LEGEND by Sarah Robinson

HAPPY THANKSGIVING
Happy Thanksgiving to all my friends in the States , if you are looking for a good book to read while you are relaxing this weekend . Let me tell you about CAPTURED PLEASURE by Tanya Sands . All the royalties from this book will be donated to HONOR THE SACRIFICE an organization that aids military vets and their families
BOOK BLURB
**All royalties from the sales of this book to be donated to Honor the Sacrifice, an organization that aids military veterans and their families.**
Bradley Michaels moves to the west coast to be closer to his family. Through a military commitment he meets a young woman who immediately grabs his interest. Thinking they have a connection, he is shocked when he sees her with someone from his past.
Kellee Drake snags a great opportunity to not only be part of a great charity fundraiser for Honor the Sacrifice but a chance to get her name out there. Through this gig she meets two guys and is instantly attracted to both. Thinking the worst of herself, it isn’t until the three of them are together that things get curiously interesting.
Ayden Jones lost his best friend in high school over a relationship. Or rather a lack thereof. But the suggestion freaked his friend out. Years later a simple photo shoot brings them together.
Can Bradley and Ayden mend their friendship and find love with Kellee? Can Kellee come to terms with her feelings for both men?
MY REVIEW
This is the fifth book in the chasers series and is the story of Bradley Ayden and Kellee . I must say that this is a very hot book with two very hot military men , who are best of friends and a sexy curvy photographer . They are pulled together by a project and find out there is a spark between the three of them . Will they find love and mend the friendship they guys once had .
I sat down trying to find something good to read when I found this book on my kindle. I really like the characters and how they interacted The sexual attraction between the men and Kellee is great.
They are both wanting her but also have reservations about how it will all work out. Kellee is a strong character but also really fragile, she is living with diabetes and has to keep a check on herself .She is curvy and really career driven . Bradley is a lieutenant in the Air force and is hot oh so hot and very alpha . You will absolutely fall in love with him . Ayden is a Range Officer in the marines and is also one hot dude . He is the more dominant of the two an is one panty melting dude . You will want him to do all sorts of naughty things to you . Trust me on that one . Throw them both together and you will have some very hot flashes happening The best character I found and fell in love with is Suki. Kellee's service dog, she is a great dog and helps out when Kellee needs her . She is sweet and loving . I love any kind of book that has an animal in it . Especially a dog that has a job to do like Suki.
This was a good evenings read for me . The characters are well written and complex . The story flowed well . I finished it in an evening .

BOOK BLURB
**All royalties from the sales of this book to be donated to Honor the Sacrifice, an organization that aids military veterans and their families.**
Bradley Michaels moves to the west coast to be closer to his family. Through a military commitment he meets a young woman who immediately grabs his interest. Thinking they have a connection, he is shocked when he sees her with someone from his past.
Kellee Drake snags a great opportunity to not only be part of a great charity fundraiser for Honor the Sacrifice but a chance to get her name out there. Through this gig she meets two guys and is instantly attracted to both. Thinking the worst of herself, it isn’t until the three of them are together that things get curiously interesting.
Ayden Jones lost his best friend in high school over a relationship. Or rather a lack thereof. But the suggestion freaked his friend out. Years later a simple photo shoot brings them together.
Can Bradley and Ayden mend their friendship and find love with Kellee? Can Kellee come to terms with her feelings for both men?
MY REVIEW
This is the fifth book in the chasers series and is the story of Bradley Ayden and Kellee . I must say that this is a very hot book with two very hot military men , who are best of friends and a sexy curvy photographer . They are pulled together by a project and find out there is a spark between the three of them . Will they find love and mend the friendship they guys once had .
I sat down trying to find something good to read when I found this book on my kindle. I really like the characters and how they interacted The sexual attraction between the men and Kellee is great.
They are both wanting her but also have reservations about how it will all work out. Kellee is a strong character but also really fragile, she is living with diabetes and has to keep a check on herself .She is curvy and really career driven . Bradley is a lieutenant in the Air force and is hot oh so hot and very alpha . You will absolutely fall in love with him . Ayden is a Range Officer in the marines and is also one hot dude . He is the more dominant of the two an is one panty melting dude . You will want him to do all sorts of naughty things to you . Trust me on that one . Throw them both together and you will have some very hot flashes happening The best character I found and fell in love with is Suki. Kellee's service dog, she is a great dog and helps out when Kellee needs her . She is sweet and loving . I love any kind of book that has an animal in it . Especially a dog that has a job to do like Suki.
This was a good evenings read for me . The characters are well written and complex . The story flowed well . I finished it in an evening . This is a hot sexy story that will have you blushing and fanning yourself as you read . Overall this is a great story and has a great meaning to go with it as you read . But there are just a few spots that just didn't grab me . It kind of felt repetitive like I read in another one of her books . But that didn't dissuade me from reading and falling in love with the characters .

BOOK BLURB
Warning: For Mature Adult Audiences 18+. Contains language and actions some may deem offensive. Sexually explicit content. MF.
In book one of the Path to Destiny: Majesta never thought she would find the man of her dreams, let alone two of them. The thought of love at first sight seemed ludicrous to her. Then she fell into the arms of a man who swept her off her feet. The trouble with both men, they are not human. A simple book keeper finds herself in a middle of a book herself.
Five hundred years Maganusson has waited for his soul to return only to witness the human woman being swept away by another man. One that he knows to well. It isn't going to be easy to get her back and keep her safe. He can't lose her again, but he can't think of her becoming like him.

I really liked this book. It took me a bit to get into it but once I did I loved it . The characters are well written and complex . Majesta came off as girl who doesn't know what she wants until Magnusson came into her life . She is his soul mate and is at ease with him like no other . Magnusson is very pragmatic and a true alpha is so many ways . He is so in love with Majesta and is heart broken when Majesta is taken away .

HAPPY RELEASE DAY
Good morning all . Today is a good day here on the blog . It is release day for one of my favourite authors . MAGICALLY DELICIOUS Magic and Mayhem book 4 by Robyn Peterman
BOOK BLURB
What does a hungry, pregnant witch do when her whole freaking town goes on a no carb diet?
I’ll tell you what. She goes on the sly and conjures up some anchovy-chocolate chunk cookies dipped in hot sauce—that’s what.
Of course my cheating gets complicated when all of the magic in the world goes on the fritz. To solve that particular wrinkle, I’ll have to finally find the source of the lurking evil.
Easier said than done. Maybe if I wasn’t pregnant and starving, I could deal with the nasty old witch who resides in a gingerbread house. Add in carb eating fairies who speak French and three rotund familiars who enjoy defacing property with profane graffiti, and what you get is almost more trouble than I can handle in my baby baking condition.
I’m still not convinced I won’t be giving birth to puppies since the smokin’ hot father of my babies is a werewolf, and NO ONE has given me ANY concrete proof to the contrary. Getting knocked up by the werewolf of my dreams was all kinds of awesome in practice, but the reality of becoming a mother scares me more than Baba Yaga’s horrendous 1980’s wardrobe.
Monstrous decisions with enormous ramifications are best handled with meticulous planning—or in my case—after eating a giant mustard slathered jelly doughnut. Neither of those options is possible at the moment, but since there is no way I’m bringing my children into a magicless world, winging it will just have to work.
Wait… Was that a contraction I just felt?
Goddess help us all…
MY REVIEW
What do you get when you have a strong witch that is also having cravings for all things carb related. A sexy wolf shifter mate who is her mate and a town that is also staying off carb . You get one cranky ass witch that can smite your butt at a moments notice . Meet Zelda and Mac and the rest of the town of Assjacket. Zelda is pregnant with twins and is one starving witch and will do anything to get those carbs . Even battle an old witch with a gingerbread house and carb eating fairies that only speak French . Will Zelda survive her pregnancy and survive the evil that is coming .
I must say these are my favourite characters, I love Zelda and Mac . Zelda is such a saucy character . I love her quick wit and smart wise cracking fly by the seat of her pants woman . She is trying to be a good girl but the carbs or the lack of them is making her cranky . She is such a fun character to read . I love her and her wise cracking attitude. Mac is her mate and one sexy alpha wolf shifter . Who is being sweet and kind with his mates pregnancy . He is trying to keep her calm and happy . Also trying to keep his Bon Jovi from being blown off . You have to read the book to find out . Its pretty funny actually what you can do with a ho ho . The rest of the gang is back . Sassy and Jeeves and the rest of the shifters . All trying to keep Zelda happy as they are suffering from the lack of carbs in their life .
This author is an author I go to when I need a laugh . This book was no exception to the rule. I love reading her work. I laughed so hard while reading I had tears rolling down my face at some parts . The words that come from that woman's mind is amazing . Her twisted sense of humor will make you go really and laugh . This is the 4th book in the series and the series just keeps getting better and better . I love the characters and always look forward to find out what they are up to . They get crazier and crazier with each book . The author takes us on a fun filled joy ride that will keep you reading well into the night and laughing continuously . Check out the Magic and Mayhem books . You will not be disappointed in the least .

MY REVIEW
This was a great fast read with a variety of short stories which will creep the bejesus out of you . There are some new stories and some well loved favorites that you would love to read over and over again. She can build suspense with just the way she writes . The stories are so tension filled of course the first story had me so on edge . It had clowns in it and I really don't like clowns .

WELCOME TO TUESDAY ALL
Welcome to Tuesday, hope everyone is doing well and living large . Today we are going to review a great book NEVER DIE by N.L Hoffmann
BOOK BLURB
This is a standalone novel.
Never give up. Never surrender.
Never Die.
Riley Cole is a lone wolf. Metaphorically speaking, that is.
After living through a bleak childhood and pathetic excuses for parents, Riley left the backwoods town of Luna Hill, Missouri happily in her rearview mirror. Her survival instincts and natural independence brought her to Chicago, where she discovered her calling as a private investigator.
However, when a mysterious stranger from her hometown requests her services, Riley must summon all of her courage to face the ghosts of her past.
As she gets closer to the answers that she seeks, something otherworldly happens. Riley becomes an actual wolf.
With the help of Sheriff Luke Thatcher, can Riley get to the truth and save those closest to her before it's too late?
MY REVIEW
I love this authors writings so when I saw that she had a new book out . I jumped at the chance to give it a read . This is a stand alone book about a small town girl that left . Made good and had to come back to the small town , where her child hood was horrible . Sounds like your everyday story of most small town stories , right . Wrong this one is so much more there is a werewolf pack involved . Meet Riley a private eye that is sucked into going back to her home town . A place that she never wanted to go back to. But she is on a case and needs to rescue her little sister , that she didn't even know she had . She gets more then she bargained for when she meets Luke Thatcher . the hot sheriff in town and his bad boy brother Lance . Will she get the answers she needs and will she be able to handle what happens to her .
I really loved the characters in this book . The author writes such great strong complex female characters . Riley is the type of girl that has been through so much in her life . She grew up in the most horrible conditions but has survived . You see her struggling at the beginning of the book . But as you read you see Riley grow stronger and become the woman that she knew she was all the time.
Lance Thatcher is the bad boy that has grown up to still be the bad boy around town . He has an arrogant attitude but underneath he has a heart . He is so much an alpha, cocky but also loves his family. He loves flirting with Riley and driving his brother Luke crazy. I actually really like Lance even though at some points I wanted to knock him upside the head.
Luke is the sullen sheriff of Luna Hill and Lance's brother . He just seems like the a lone wolf and he is complicated . He is surly, and sexy as sin . He is trying to keep his brother in line and trying to live down the bad rep of his family. He is smitten with Riley and she is smitten with him but they both try and deny their feelings. I am so glad he is such a great character to read . I kind of fell for him hard . I love brooding characters that have that alpha sexiness .
There are so many great supporting characters that go along with Riley, Lance and Luke and they all play important parts in this book .
I couldn't put this book down . Like all N.L's books I was hooked from the very first page . She takes us on an adventure with every turn on the page . The story was so good and such a nice different way to have a werewolf pack . You will really like them and Riley will make you cheer for her and Luke . The twist at the end will make you go wow . The story is a thrill ride and will keep you reading all night long . I will admit I read this book in one night and I had a book hangover. So if you want a great book that will keep you reading and loving . Check out NEVER DIE by N.L Hoffmann

Cass took the glass from her hand and sniffed it. “What is it?”
Kayci shrugged. “The bartender is a witch. He makes it. It’s blood with some kind of potion in it. It makes me feel amazing.”
Cass studied the contents. His eyes drifted over the glass to her. “That’s my job.” He saw the arousal sweep over her face and it awakened his instinct. Yes. Your mate. Yours.
Kayci took the glass back from his hand and gulped it down.
Cass leaned on his arm. “Tell me, Kat. How’d you end up with pretty boy?” He motioned to Brad, sitting with his buddies, scowling at him.
Kayci rolled her eyes. “I met him a couple months ago, when I first starting using dark magic. I fed from him then. I ran into him again last night.”
“You sleep with him?” Cass asked, avoiding eye contact with her. He chugged more beer as the rising jealousy tightened his gut.
Kayci chuckled at his apparent discomfort with the subject. “No, not that it’s any of your business if I did.”
Cass set the beer on the counter and turned himself to face her. He rotated her stool toward him, putting her legs between his. “It is my business. You’re my mate. If you need a man’s touch, you come to me. Understand?”
Ohh! Why did his possessiveness irritate her and arouse her all at once? She narrowed her eyes. “I’ll do as I please, Cass. I’m not your mate.”
“I thought we’d already resolved this? You are my mate and I’m here to stay.”
She let out a frustrated breath of air. “You’re incredibly pushy.”
Cass grinned before placing his hands under her ass and scooting her closer to him. “I know.”
The blood and potion warmed her body, causing the usual euphoric sensation. As his provocative gaze met hers, her body ignited. The warming sensation turned to a harmonizing pulse and her body itched to have his hands caressing her, his lips passionately claiming hers. She gazed up at him, mesmerized by his beautiful wolf eyes and full lips. She reached up, unable to stop herself from running her finger along them. He bit her finger, gave it a flick of his tongue, and then claimed it with his mouth. Heat warmed her below, sending quick exuberant shocks of electricity from her belly, down and back. She grinned, fangs visible and eyes glazed with desire.
Cass saw the hunger in her eyes, causing his body to respond. Pressure extended his jeans and he kneaded her thighs in response. “I like what that drink does to you.” He winked.
Kayci bit her lip as desperate longing slammed against her, begging for release.
Cass’ eyes lowered, fixed on her lips. “You know what that does to me, don’t you?”
Kayci nodded, grinning, her mouth nearly salivating for a taste of him.
“Keep it up and I’ll bend you over this bar and take you in front of everyone,” he murmured breathlessly.
“You would, wouldn’t you?” she teased.
“Don’t challenge me, Kat. I’m barely restraining myself as it is.”
Kayci slid her fangs over her bottom lip and released it, just to watch the hunger grow vehemently in his eyes. “Why do you make me feel this way?” The ardency in her own voice startled her.
“I don’t know how to make it any clearer for you, you’re my mate, and once you accept it, we can get on with giving each other unrestrained pleasure.” The connotation of his promised desire dripped off his lips.
Unrestrained pleasure? How can I resist?
“And if I am your mate, what then?”
Cass took a strand of her hair in his hand and gave it a tantalizing tug before placing it behind her ear. When her body shivered with arousal, his instinct purred with satisfaction. “I claim you as mine, mark you…” He caressed her cheek. Her eyes closed as her breath quickened. “We’ll be tied forever. As my mate, I’ll love you, ensure you’re happy, protected, satisfied—always.”
She could hear the promise in his earnest voice. She opened her eyes to see the fire burning in his.
And what woman wouldn’t want all of that?
“What do you mean by mark me?” The idea of him biting her stirred her already yearning desire.
The excitement in her voice worsened the pressure on his jeans. He glanced around at their current location, returning to her fiery, lust-filled gaze. “This isn’t the best place for that conversation.”
She stared at him expectantly, licking her lips, bringing his fixed stare to them.
“Just remember—you asked.”
He tucked his massive hands under her thighs and gave her ass a tug, bringing her as close to him as she could get while still sitting on the stool, barely. He leaned closer, lowering his voice for her to hear his private share.
“When I make love to you, I want all of you. I want to ravage your body, take you beneath me, sink my teeth into you, claim you as mine. It will be the most passionate and erotic experience you’ve ever had and I know you’ll enjoy it and I’ll enjoy watching the pleasured moans escape those luscious lips.”
The heat of his breath on her ear and his strong, solid hand kneading the inside of her upper thigh had her trembling with need. His sensuous touch sparked heat and fire—ravenous fire. It gurgled in her belly, awakening after a long period of dormancy.
She bit her lip—hard. He leaned back to see her reaction. His eyes glimmered with satisfaction.
His captivating wolf eyes remained on her, stabbing right through her, to the deepest part of her.
“The funny thing about you, Kat, is your words always reject me, but your body begs me to satisfy it.”
Her breath escaped. Damn, he’s good. Her fangs stabbed her bottom lip as her body pulsed with desire. The potion’s affect helped his cause, betraying her. It was supposed to give her numbing pleasure not add to the aching need she had for him.
She closed her eyes and gave her head a shake. She scooted back on the stool before she clawed at the clothes covering him. She opened her eyes to see him grinning at her. That usual arrogant smile that said, he knew exactly what was going on inside her mind and body.
She stepped off the stool. Must have cold shower.
Cass’ hand grabbed a hold of her hip as she swayed, giving it a firm squeeze. She fell against his arms that he used to pull her closer, bringing her inches from his lips. He stared down at her, his wolf eyes studying her eyes, her expression.
He could see the struggle in her eyes—the longing, the confusion, and frustration. He would make things clear for her.
“It’s about time I start pissing you off.”
He brought his lips down on hers, claiming them with his own. The fire roiled in her belly, exploding like a volcano. She sunk into his lips, letting the sensation take her.
He dipped his tongue into her mouth, coaxing her further, tasting more of her, wanting more of her. Satisfaction filled him when she didn’t pull away. He held the nape of her neck and drove their kiss further. His hand squeezed her backside as he pulled her body against his. He needed her, needed her to give in. He couldn’t take her denial much longer. It was driving him wild. He needed to touch her, caress every part of her.
When their lips parted, she swayed at the dizziness that swam through her head and the extraordinary arousal throbbing between her thighs.
“Cass…”
“Yes, Kat?” He could hear the desire in her voice. He longed to satisfy it and to satisfy her. He brushed one of her curls behind her ear.
“I—”
“Want this as much as I do, don’t you beautiful?”
She did, she wanted to pounce on him like a panther on its prey and devour him one succulent sample at a time.
“How about I take you home?” he asked, never easing his affectionate hold on her.
“Yes,” is all she could sputter.
