She leaned closer and rubbed her cheek against his, sighing with satisfaction as she pulled back. The second time she swung forward she pressed her lips to his, soft, fleeting. She’d planted her palms against his collarbone and slipped them down his torso as she spoke.
“I like the way you smile at me. Like you’re constantly surprised that I’m there beside you and that me being there is a good thing. The way you smell—hmmm—totally turns me on. I snuck that spare T-shirt of yours upstairs the other day after you’d taken it off helping move the extra shelves into the quilt shop.”
“I wondered where that had gone.”
Hope slipped her palms around his lower back then sank her nails in deep as she pulled forward. “The way your voice buzzes against my skin when you whisper, like in the movie theater—it’s this gravelly layer of sensation that trickles over me and makes me all achy inside.”
Matt was less and less worried about the reason that had brought her storming through the door and more sure that what was about to happen had been too long in coming.
She covered his jean-enclosed cock with her hand, palm cupping his ready erection. “I want to have sex because you’ve been haunting my dreams for far too long, and I want to have something else of you to enjoy, more than your laugh or the way you try to save me from myself.”

Feature Friday: Love is a Battlefield
Send to KindleDo you love the best friend’s little sister trope? How about a sexy romance? If so, you need to read LOVE IS A BATTLEFIELD.
Sudden warmth rushed through her at his absolute attention. Fine. It was obvious she wasn’t going to be able to change his mind. “Then here’s my counteroffer. You talk to Parker, and I get to be in charge.”
A snort of disbelief escaped him. “Right. Like that’s ever going to happen. Sorry, Candy Cane, but I’m not the type to jump if you start issuing orders.”
Stubborn ass. He wasn’t lying, but then, she already knew ways to make him burn. “You expect to call all the shots? Like that’s ever going to happen,” she echoed his words. “Or, maybe in the bedroom. If you’re any good.”
That intense heat was back in his eyes. Nuclear destruction in three, two, one…
“Am I any good in the bedroom? I don’t know, Pepper. You tell me. Am I a decent kisser?” He paused, just long enough for her to remember the devastation his lips had caused. “Now imagine my mouth all over your body. On the curve of your neck, on your breasts. Dropping over the smooth slope of your belly until I’m between your legs, kissing you until you can’t breathe without gasping my name.”
A whimper snuck out before she could stop it.
He cupped her face again, stroking his thumb over her cheek. “Stop driving us both mad and get in the house. I’ll give you a call tomorrow.”
Pepper didn’t tease for another kiss because she didn’t think she could take it, not without changing her mind and begging him to change his. She got out of the car and headed to the house.
All the time intensely aware that Jack was watching her.

“You’re not going to do anything now, are you? Jason said Matt could be here at any time.”
“So?”
A sweep of light-headedness rolled over her. Her breathing picked up, but it wasn’t panic. Nothing that would make her call him out and call it off.
“You’re a bastard,” she noted as plainly as she could.
“You’ve told me so before, and yet here we are.” Tim leaned over and tugged her chair to face him slightly. “You like your men with a little bastard in their blood. Admit it.”
Her breathing picked up a notch. “I like you.”
He smiled in approval, then rocked her control even further. “Pull up your skirt so I can see your pussy. Now.”
Her fingers were moving before her brain fully registered the words. She rolled the fabric upward and cooler air from the room brushed her, and she sighed.
Tim pulled something from his pocket. “Damn. So fucking gorgeous.”
When he dropped to his knees and pulled her hips forward, she bit her lip to keep from shouting.

Feature Friday: WOLF SIGNS
Send to KindleDo you love fated shifters? How about quick novellas? If so, you must read WOLF SIGNS, the first in the Granite Lake Wolves seres.
“All right, don’t get your fur in a knot. I’ll shift, but you keep an eye on her. If she signs anything that looks like ‘cute doggy’ or ‘sweet fluffy wuffy’, I want to learn them to insult the boys at the next pack meeting.”
Robyn raised her eyebrow.
“Stop it with the Spock look, Robyn, that seriously freaks me out. I keep expecting to see you grow pointy ears and hear you announce, ‘But this is not logical.’” TJ continued rambling as he dropped his clothes and stood naked in the middle of the cabin. He waggled his eyebrows at her and she blushed.
“Get on with it before I apply the Vulcan death grip to you, little brother.” Keil spoke through clenched teeth.
TJ shimmered and there were two images overlapping each other, another shimmer and there was a large silver grey wolf sitting on its haunches in front of them. Robyn tensed. Keil watched her rise from the chair, eyes wide with wonder. She stood for the longest time and simply stared, her breathing rapid, face flushed. He was ready to take her arm to reassure her when she dropped to her knees and reached out in slow motion to brush the fur on TJ’s head and neck.
After a few strokes of her hand, TJ rolled over to his back and tilted his neck up. A surge of pleasure raced through Keil’s veins at the sight. His brother, while not always the sharpest knife in the drawer, was a physically strong wolf. TJ didn’t give instant obeisance to just anyone. Another indicator that the woman kneeling by Keil’s feet was going to be a powerful addition in his life.
TJ shifted back and Robyn was caught stroking her hand down his naked chest.
“Damn!” Robyn shouted and shot away from TJ, backing into the door.
