"I am really a paranormal fan…didn’t realize how much, but I truly am. This story was your typical: mate, mine, shifter-human mating but, it has a history that I really enjoyed, and it didn’t shy away from the harsh reality that was Jesse and Taylor’s life before they became shifter mates. Micah is freaking huge…like six foot eight and two hundred and eighty pounds kind of huge. And he’s the alpha of his pack of werewolves. He is big, rich, powerful, loyal, kind, and a sweetheart who is desperate to find his mate. Jesse is tiny…like five foot seven and one hundred and twenty pounds soaking wet. He is small, insecure, untrusting, abused, a talented singer, and a sweetheart who is desperate to have someone love him completely. These two are complete and total opposites except for what their hearts want, which happens to be each other. (I admit I struggled trying to visualize these two men together while they were having sex because their size difference is immense. I still can’t picture it too well, and so I just shortened Micah a little bit and that worked.) Unfortunately, Micah comes on strong; Jesse backs away; someone is trying to kill Jesse; and a ghost from Micah’s past is being a major pain in the ass…plus, someone close to him is becoming a Judas. There is a trouble a brewing in this pack of werewolves, and it will take quite a bit of finagling for these two destined souls to get it right. Fortunately, they have humorous Taylor to keep things lighthearted, even when issues are not so lighthearted at all. I was entertained and horrified; the story was typical in a way and nothing too new in the shifter genre, but fun anyway, and I am looking forward to Taylor and Gabriel’s story; I hope they’re next. Overall Impression: I really liked it!" -- Susan65, The Blogger Girls
STORY EXCERPT
“Protect me?” Jesse said with disdain in his voice and a cold look in his eyes. “Protect me?” he repeated. “That’s why you sat there and allowed your friend there to talk to me like that?”
“Thomas didn’t mean anything. He was just asking if there may be someone who is angry with you.”
“Yeah. Riiiight,” Taylor said with his hands fisted on his hips, glaring at Thomas. “He pretty much just called us whores and you’re sticking up for him? Nice, Micah, real nice,” Taylor finished coldly.
“We’re just trying to get to the bottom of this. To look at all the angles,” Micah said in frustration.
“Yeah well maybe Thomas did it! Maybe he has some sick reason. Maybe he’s just a total fucktard!” Jesse sneered at Thomas. A flash of something Jesse couldn’t make out crossed Thomas’s eyes, but he covered it up quickly and narrowed his eyes at Jesse.
“What reason would I have to do something like that to our own club?” Thomas asked calmly.
“How the hell should I know, we don’t know you. Just like you don’t know us. Maybe you’re just a psycho asshole.” Taylor smiled at that last part.
“Enough!” Micah yelled. “We’re not getting anywhere throwing names at each other. Let’s just sit down and calmly talk about this.”
Jesse grabbed Taylor’s hand and turned to leave. “Let’s go, Tay. We have better things to do than sit here with these assholes. There are at least twenty to thirty hot guys still down there that we haven’t fucked yet. If we start now we can get to all of them by sunrise.” Jesse and Taylor headed across the V.I.P. lounge toward the stairs.
Micah ran after them and grabbed Jesse’s arm and turned him around. He grabbed onto both of Jesse’s arms and held him tight. “You’re mine, Jesse! I better never find another man touching you! You belong to me!” Micah pulled Jesse into him and smashed their lips together hard. Jesse tried to pull away. He fought to get out of Micah’s hold, but he couldn’t. He kept his lips tightly closed. The passion and anger in Micah’s eyes and lips were playing with Jesse’s resolve.
Micah’s tongue came out and swiped across the seam of Jesse’s lips, demanding entry. Jesse lost the battle as his head started to swim. He opened his lips slightly, and it was just enough for Micah to take advantage and he slipped his tongue into Jesse’s mouth.
Their tongues battled for dominance. A growl escaped Micah as his arms wrapped around Jesse. The growl sent a thrill through Jesse and he melted against Micah, submitting to him, as he held onto Micah’s shirt. Micah’s wolf was overjoyed at Jesse’s submission. He wanted to claim their mate right now. Micah kept one arm wrapped around Jesse’s waist and moved the other to grab the back of his head, holding him tight. His heart and head were soaring with the knowledge that his mate was finally in his arms. Jesse tasted better than anything on this planet. He tasted of chocolate, cinnamon, and a hint of lavender. Jesse’s lips were so soft and his body fit Micah’s perfectly. A small moan escaped Jesse and Micah smiled against Jesse’s lips with a small chuckle.
That was enough to bring Jesse to his senses. His eyes popped open and he flattened both palms against Micah’s chest. Jesse pushed with all his strength as he pulled his head back. Breathing hard, Micah and Jesse just stared at each other. Micah’s hands were still on Jesse’s hips when he started to speak. “Jesse…” He was cut off when Jesse smacked him across the face as hard as he could. Then Jesse cursed from the pain as he pulled his hand into his chest, holding it with his other hand. Holy shit! What is this guy made of...concrete? Jesse thought to himself. Micah stepped back from Jesse, his face emotionless. He just stared blankly at Jesse.
“How dare you! Don’t you ever fucking touch me again! I don’t care who you say I am to you. I belong to no one! You can all go fuck yourselves!” Jesse yelled. He turned and ran down the stairs. Taylor stopped at the top of the stairs and turned toward Micah. He looked right into Micah’s eyes and sighed as his face softened. “Idiot.” He rolled his eyes. “You just blew it. I told you to go slow, to take it easy with him. You say you’re his mate, yet you didn’t even stand up for him just now with that asswipe, piece of slug trail.” Taylor pointed to Thomas, who was standing with Raith by the office door, watching everything. “I told you to never hurt him, and it’s the first thing you do. Don’t ask me to help you now. You don’t deserve him, and you don’t realise how big you just fucked up. Huge.” Taylor turned around and started heading down the stairs. “Maybe we’ll see you around sometime, bitches. Have a nice life.” Taylor disappeared down the stairs.
Micah was just standing there, frozen, mouth hanging open, tears started to burn the backs of his eyes. He couldn’t breathe, he couldn’t think, as Taylor’s words all sank in. “I just lost my mate. Before I even had a chance to have him, I lost him. What the hell just happened? What the fuck have I done?”
Micah started to hyperventilate as he started to get angry. The pain in his chest was crushing him. His stomach twisted and his wolf was howling, raging mad at him for letting their mate get away. He was fighting to get to the surface to go after their mate and claim him. Micah was fighting to control his wolf, but he couldn’t. His teeth ripped through his gums, and his eyes went feral. He couldn’t control it. His wolf was taking over.
ADULT EXCERPT
Jesse couldn’t take his eyes off the show in front of him. His pulse quickened and his lips parted as he started to pant. Micah released the button and unzipped his pants. His hands slid into his waistband and he pushed his pants down his smooth hips, over his muscled thighs. Jesse licked his lips at the sight of Micah’s long, thick, hard cock. His mouth started to water with the need to taste Micah, to take his beautiful length into his mouth and swallow it whole.
Micah stepped out of his jeans and pushed them aside. He put a knee up onto the bed. “Move back, baby, get comfortable,” Micah said as he started to crawl toward Jesse.
Jesse slid up the bed till he reached the headboard and he rested on the pillow, one hand slowly stroking his now leaking shaft. He couldn’t believe he was hard again so fast, but the sight of his man undressing, then the sight of Micah’s monster cock had him standing at attention.
Micah crawled in between Jesse’s legs and kissed up his stomach to his nipples. He took the ringed peak into this mouth and sucked. He flicked his tongue across the nub, bringing a soft moan from Jesse. Micah put the ring between his teeth and gently tugged on it, causing Jesse to arch his back, pushing his chest against Micah’s mouth. “That feels so fucking good, Micah,” Jesse cried through clenched teeth.
Micah continued to play with Jesse’s nipple ring, licking, sucking, biting, until Jesse thought he would go out of his mind. “Please!” he begged.
Micah released Jesse’s nipple and kissed his way up his collarbone, up the front of his neck. Micah nipped the underside of Jesse’s chin, then licked the sting away. Micah claimed Jesse’s lips in an all-consuming kiss. Jesse’s hands grabbed onto Micah’s shoulders, pulling him down harder against him. The feeling of Micah’s strong bare chest against his was intoxicating. His body started to heat up as Micah’s tongue was exploring his mouth.
Micah pulled back, the both of them breathing heavily. Micah ran his lips across to Jesse’s neck and started to suck and bite. Jesse cried out, “I want to taste you, Micah.”
Micah pulled back and eased off Jesse and rolled to his back, watching Jesse’s every move. Jesse sat up and crawled between Micah’s legs. Jesse encircled Micah’s cock with his long fingers, but they still didn’t make it all the way around Micah’s girth. Jesse stuck his tongue out and licked the tip of Micah’s leaking cock.
“Hmmmmm,” Jesse moaned at the taste of his man. His tongue flicked out again and he speared into the slit at the tip, drawing all the juice he could out of it. He moved his lips around the thick spongy head and lightly sucked as his tongue played with the ball piercing. Micah moaned deeply, Jesse moved his head down Micah’s shaft, taking more of his thick cock into his mouth. His lips started to hurt from the stretch of Micah’s cock. Jesse’s tongue ran along the thick vein on the underside. He loved the weight of Micah’s cock on his tongue. He slowly slid back off to nibble and tease. Micah’s hands shot out to Jesse’s head and his fingers tangled into the soft strands of his mate’s hair. Micah added a little pressure to the back of Jesse’s head, pulling him closer to his groin.
Jesse took in more of Micah’s shaft, licking and sucking his way down. With each stroke he took in more of the delicious shaft into his mouth. With each up stroke he hollowed his cheeks and sucked harder. Being careful of Micah’s piercing, Jesse bottomed out as his nose reached the coarse bed of hair at Micah’s groin. Swallowing him down whole, he continued sucking Micah’s shaft as it hit the back of his throat, then slid down further. After a few minutes Jesse pulled back enough to take a breath and then swallowed Micah down again, bringing him back to the back of his throat. His eyes were closed in bliss, and he was thankful that he didn’t have a gag reflex.
Micah’s hands tightened in Jesse’s hair. The pleasure was too intense. “Baby, stop. As indescribable as that feels, I don’t want to come until I’m buried balls deep in your sweet ass.”
Jesse pulled slowly off Micah’s shaft with a pop and looked up at Micah licking his lips. “Damn, baby, don’t you have a gag reflex?” Micah said breathlessly, as he lifted Jesse up onto his chest.
Jesse smiled shyly at his big mate. “No, I don’t.” Quicker than the eye could see, Micah flipped them over until Jesse was once again under him. “We’ll have to explore that further some other time. Right now I need to be inside you.”
