A Shifter Christmas (5 page)

He was suddenly shoved away, and he panted
for a moment, his heart beating out of his chest as he met her
eyes. She wasn't angry, she looked panicked. "What's wrong?"

"I can't. I…I'm gay," she said. She swallowed
and adjusted her dress to a more respectable height, looking
calmer.

She watched him glance around the living room
before his eyes settled on hers again. Her panties dampened. She
backed up against the door, her palms flat against the cold metal,
and he stalked her, trapping her in place with his arms on either
side of her head. Her heartbeat sped up as his eyes flashed yellow
for one short moment, and she knew his wolf was close to the
surface.

"Leah, I'm going to kiss you. After that, I'm
going to lick your pussy until you come, and then I'm going to flip
you over and take you like my wolf demands."

She whimpered at his words, her panties now
thoroughly soaked. "'Kay," was all she managed to say before his
lips descended on hers, hard and unyielding. She opened for his
probing tongue and a shock coursed through her body, curling her
toes, as she tasted him. He tasted of peppermint and coffee, but
underneath that, home.

His body molded against hers, his muscles
taut, and a growl rumbled from deep inside him. His tongue went
deeper, exploring every inch of her mouth, their teeth clashing as
their kiss reached a fevered pitch.

She was dazed when his mouth left hers and a
hand grasped the back of her head, forcing her neck to the side.
She was panting as his nose slid along her throat and down the
curve of her neck, onto her shoulder. This is it, he is going to
bite me and make me his mate!

She felt a slight pressure, and then he
pulled away and her world literally turned upside down. Her breath
left in a rush as he hoisted her over his shoulder and with long,
sure strides, went to her bedroom.

"Clothes off," his voice was low, guttural,
as he yanked his own T-shirt off and started on his jeans buttons,
kicking his boots across the room.
