His Mating Mark

STORY EXCERPT

Nicole opened her new story and changed the Alpha hero to Josh. She couldn’t help herself. The man was just too gorgeous. He fit the role perfectly, all those muscles and his deep, gravelly voice. She moaned as she started writing, changing the story to fit around him. She wondered what his hands would feel like. She imagined they would be rough from working outdoors since he had a magnificent tan. His facial hair, perfectly trimmed, framed his plump lips, and she wondered what they would feel like. She moaned, wishing that she could redo their conversation and wishing that she would’ve at least flirted with him a little bit.

A knock on her front door drew her attention, and she looked up, noticing the clock on the wall above her computer. It was already four o’clock. Rubbing her eyes, she stood up and walked to the door. Stretching her back, she heard it pop into place and opened the door.

“Hello again.” Josh stood there holding a bag and looking delicious. She stared at him. How did he know where she lived? Did he follow her home?

“What are you doing here?” she asked.

“I came to fix you an early dinner,” he said as he walked past her into the house.  He went to the kitchen and moved around the room as if he owned the place. She stared at him and finally decided to close the door.

“Listen…I’m not sure why you’re here. I don’t know you, and to be honest, it’s a little inappropriate,” she told him, trying to sound offended but glad that he did in fact show up. She had been given a second chance to talk to him and get to know him a little better, maybe even flirt. If she were going to be completely honest with herself, though, she would have to admit that she wanted to look at him. Her body was screaming at her to grab him and rub against him, but Nicole stayed strong, keeping distance between them.

“Why is it inappropriate? Were you busy?” he asked as he glanced around. She wasn’t sure what he could be looking for.

“I’m a writer. I’m always busy,” she told him.

“Okay. You can write while I cook for you.” He gave her a wink, and Nicole bit her lip, preventing herself from smiling. “I do have one question, though. Are you a vegetarian?” he asked, and she rolled her eyes. It seemed silly that he would ask that question with such a serious tone.

“No.” She giggled. She didn’t want to, but the cute look on his face made her.

“Okay, then. I’ll put your groceries away because it looks like you got busy and forgot.” He smiled. “You go ahead and write, and I’ll call you when dinner is ready.” He started putting things away, and she had to be honest with herself that he looked good in her kitchen. She walked back to her computer and stared at the screen for a minute, realizing that she was at one of the steamy sex scenes. She thought about Josh as she got back to work, thinking of all the dirty things she wanted to do with him.

Inhaling, Nicole realized that her small home smelt amazing. She smiled and kept typing, feeling a little better.

“He lowered his face, and his teeth sank into her shoulder. The bite he gave her sent a shaft of pain splintering through her body and threw her into an overload of sensations. A scream burst from her as she came hard. Pleasure and pain blurred into oblivion as ecstasy ripped through her very soul.” Josh read aloud the last paragraph she wrote, and Nicole slammed her laptop computer down and shoved herself away from her desk. Jumping up, she moved away from him, unsure of what to say in that moment. She was shaking. His voice reading those words had affected her more than she wanted to admit.

“Wow. That sounded sexy. I’m sorry. I just wanted to see what you were writing.” He stared at her, and she cringed. She didn’t want him to know what she was writing or even what she was thinking. Especially since her thoughts were consumed by him.

“I’m a writer. I write romance. It’s private, and I don’t share it with anyone.” This was her secret, her way to let her imagination go wild and allow herself to fantasize.

“Are you published?” he asked with a questioning look on his face, and she wondered for a moment if he had ever read her books.

“Yes. I have a pen name. No, I won’t tell you. Let’s eat. The food smells delicious, and I’m really hungry.” Changing the subject quickly, she went into the kitchen and washed her hands. She started moving around, opening cupboards, but Josh stopped her. He grabbed her hand and led her to the small table, depositing her into a chair. She sat stiffly, unhappy with herself for letting him manhandle her. She seemed to crave his attention, his touch, and that confused her.

ADULT EXCERPT

Nicole’s back hit the table, and she groaned, missing Gabe’s heat almost immediately. She was wet and ready, on the verge of begging them to take her, feeling her juices leaking down her thigh. She pulled her T-shirt over her head, exposing her breasts to them. The chill in the air made her nipples harden, and grabbing her breasts, she held them like an offering.

Josh’s mouth closed over one tight peak, and he sucked hard, pulling her nipple against the roof of his mouth. She felt strong hands at the waistband of the sweats and lifted her hips, letting Gabe pull them down, off her legs.

“Spread your legs.” A demand, not a request, and she obeyed him, opening her legs wide. She couldn’t see Gabe, but she felt his hands grip her thighs. Feeling his breath on her pussy, she froze, waiting for him to touch her with his mouth. He licked her pussy, one long swipe of his tongue from clit to anus, and she shivered. It felt naughty, but she wanted more, craved more of what he had to give.

Gabe didn’t take his time to lick slowly. Instead, he ate at her, devoured her. Josh pulled back and grabbed one thigh, stretching her out wide so that he could watch what Gabe was doing to her. Gabe stared at her while he sucked her clit, and Nicole arched her back, shoving her pussy in his face. He kissed her inner thigh and stood up. He didn’t take his eyes off her as he spoke to Josh.

“She’s delicious, do you want a taste?” He offered her to Josh and stepped out of the way. Josh took his place, and he winked and ginned at her before leaning down and eating her pussy. She thrashed on the table, looking for something to hold on to. She stared at Gabe, unable to look away from his eyes. They darkened and reminded her of a predator stalking his prey. Her breath froze in her lungs as he pushed his sweats down his body and lifted his T-shirt over his head.

“I want you to suck my cock, baby.”

She moved her upper body toward him and grabbed his cock with both hands. She leaned in and licked the tip. She took her time sucking his cock into her mouth, changing rhythms, watching him, trying to find out what he liked. When the salty taste hit her tongue, everything stopped. A new energy started deep within her body. The feel of him in her mouth created a craving that startled her.

She centered her attention on the feeling of euphoria when more liquid escaped into the back of her throat. Her tongue traced each ridge, moving up and down, stroking the velvet skin covering his cock. She ignored the hands pulling her hair. She felt the cock start to expand deep in her throat, and she swallowed. Hearing Gabe yell out his completion had her coming back to reality, and hot cum filled her mouth.

Nicole leaned back, panting, focusing on Josh. She was close, so close to coming, and she concentrated on that feeling. She felt a wet finger teasing her ass, and she panted loudly, needing more oxygen in her lungs. He pushed in slowly, and she relaxed her muscles. It had been so long since anything had been in her ass, and she knew what pleasure awaited her. He pumped one finger, and nerve endings came to life.

“Get on the table, Gabe. Let Nicole ride you so that I can fuck her tight little ass.” Josh’s voice was commanding, and she moved over, giving Gabe the space he needed. “Ride his cock, baby. I need you.” Josh smacked her hip, and Nicole moved, needing something bigger than a finger inside her. She straddled Gabe’s hips, grabbed the base of his cock, and slid down his length. She twisted her hips, loving the full feeling of him inside her. Josh grabbed her, stopping her progress.

“Damn it, I need.” She couldn’t wait another minute. She had been close to coming so many times that she needed to fly over the edge before her orgasm disappeared.

A heavy hand came down on her ass, and she groaned, loving the way Josh’s hand covered a whole cheek. “Take it easy. We’ll make you come.” She felt Josh’s thighs against her and moved her ass, trying to entice him.

“Don’t worry, baby, I’m gonna take you. I’m going to slide my cock so deep in your ass.” He spread her cheeks, and she laid her head on Gabe’s chest, willing herself to relax. She knew what was coming, had been hoping for them to take her.

Nicole felt Josh’s fingers work inside her bottom slowly. “Good girl. Just relax. Soon I’ll be inside your tight, little ass.” He used one hand to massage her ass cheeks while he pushed a couple fingers inside her, stretching her. The burn and pinch made her twist her hips, and she leaned into Gabe, wanting to distract herself. Gabe grabbed her face and kissed her, pushing his tongue into her mouth. She loved the taste of him. He made her wild.

She felt the head of Josh’s cock breach her ass, and she held her breath. She relaxed and pushed out, letting him push inside her. She didn’t move until he was deep inside her. She loved the feeling of having both Gabe and Josh filling her. Gabe let go of her as he thrust his hips up. They moved slowly at first, one thrusting in deep while the other pulled out slowly. It didn’t take long for them to increase their rhythm.  

Convincing Emily

STORY EXCERPT

Being a bear shifter wasn’t the easiest thing for a woman. The ability to shift into a giant, four-hundred-pound polar bear was amazing at times, but gaining that much weight in a matter of minutes, wasn’t the most flattering ability a female could have. Emily Barre loved her clan with her entire being, but there were often times when she felt something was missing, like she didn’t quite belong. She’d already passed her thirtieth birthday and still remained single. She’d had her share of lovers in the past, other men in her clan, but they eventually left. Mates were sacred among their kind, and all shifters longed for that person or persons who would complete them.

Emily huffed out a breath and blew her hair from her eyes. She picked up her cleaning rag and resumed wiping the counter of Mack’s Bar and Grill. As far as jobs went, it wasn’t so bad. She’d gotten to know most of the regulars who frequented the place. Some of them were friendly with a smile always in place, while others sat quietly and nursed their drink in private. Everyone had a story, some good and some bad.

Emily was lonely, and even when surrounded by a room full of people, she felt alone. It was past time she found her destiny and settled down. She wanted to have cubs, to feel connected in a way she never had before. Her heart felt heavy in her chest as she looked around. Would she need to leave her home in order to find what she was looking for or was there someone here she’d overlooked? She glanced up and stared blankly at the ceiling, wondering what fate had in store for her.

She blinked a few times. It seemed like just yesterday Evan Novikov was walking her home through the snow. She had been dating the twins for a while until their mate, Katie, showed up. She had no harsh feelings toward the woman. Mates were sacred. That damn mantra played through her mind repeatedly, and Emily let it comfort her like a warm blanket. Just once though, it would be nice if she was someone’s mate. She yearned to be a priority. If she ever found him or them, she vowed to never let go.

The phone rang, startling her from her wistful thoughts. Emily took a deep breath and snatched it up. “Mack’s.”

“Emily…we need the clan. It’s an emergency, Emma’s been taken by a wolf.” Takoda Youngblood panted, sounding frantic and Emily froze, fear choking her. Poor Emma, she was a human the Youngblood brother’s had recently claimed and marked. How could a mere human defend themselves against a wolf? “Emily!”

“I’m on it.” Heart in her throat, she hung up the phone. Without thought, she raised two fingers to her mouth and pierced the room with an ear-splitting whistle. The ruckus in the bar stopped and all eyes turned toward her. “Clan emergency…Emma’s been taken by a wolf.” She sneered, and en masse her clan jumped to their feet and began stripping down.

The noise became almost deafening with chairs scraping back and the growling and snarling echoing through the bar. This was one great thing about being a shifter. Clans always stuck together. They would all march into the forest as one and take back what was theirs. If you messed with one, you dealt with them all. An arm reached out and stopped Emily as she started to strip down, preparing for battle.

“Not so fast, little sister. You stay here. I don’t think all of us are needed.”

“Damn it, Tommy. I’m not a child.” She pulled away, hating the way he always babied her in front of the rest of the clan. Most of them thought she was useless. This time, she would show them she could fight alongside them, that she was an equal.

“It’s Thomas,” he scolded, “and I think you should stay behind. It’s one wolf. I’m pretty sure we can handle it.” He pulled his T-shirt off and patted her on the head.

Before she could respond, the bar cleared out and she was left standing there, alone. Emily ground her teeth, wanting to scream. She hated being left behind. Tightening her fists, she stomped out of the bar and watched as her other clan mates stripped and headed into the forest. She wouldn’t be left behind, not again. Emily took off her clothes quickly, shivering from the cold before she let her bear rise to the surface and shift.

ADULT EXCERPT

Charlie knew that Cole was right. They needed a bed. They should take their mate up to the master bedroom, as she deserved a soft mattress underneath her, but he couldn’t wait another second. He felt completely out of control, and pre-cum dripped out of his cock like a broken faucet ready to explode. He wrapped an arm around her waist and hoisted her up before taking two giant steps toward the kitchen table.

Facing the table, Emily immediately reached out and placed her hands, palms down on the wood surface, pushing her hips back and rubbing her ass against his cock. Charlie groaned. He was losing patience fast. Taking a deep breath, he tried to calm his frayed nerves.

“Bend over farther. Rest your weight on your elbows.” Charlie put his other hand on the table, holding his weight off her while rubbing his chest against her back. Her soft skin made him groan. There were so many things he wanted to do. Luckily, they had the rest of their lives. 

With his other hand, he touched her pussy, wanting to make sure she was wet before going further. When she opened her thighs wide, the scent of her sweet juices permeated the air. She was hot and wet, soaked inside. He parted her lips and shoved a finger inside her. Her breathing changed, and she moaned deep, rocking her hips. His fingers were thick and he slid a second one inside her, wanting to make sure she was stretched and ready. He had been waiting too long and his beast was close to the surface, clawing to get out and possess her once more. He needed hard, fast, and wild sex.

“Charlie…please…I can’t wait.” She panted as he pumped his fingers a few more times, until her juices coated his entire hand.

He curled his fingers inside her against the soft pad of her G-spot and rubbed. He wanted her to come in his arms.

“Damn it, Charlie…fuck me.” She shifted her hips, bouncing off his fingers and begging for more.

He grabbed the base of his cock and directed the head towards her pussy. She leaned down on the table and he pushed inside her welcoming body. He kept going until he was fully inside her and then took a moment to catch his breath. He really needed to make this last. He needed to pleasure her.

Charlie started out slowly. He pulled out almost completely and pushed back in deep. He put both of his hands on the table, caging her in and giving himself the leverage he needed to pick up the pace. He built up speed, slamming his cock into her. He moved one hand down to her clit, needing her to come before he did. He rubbed her clit in little circles, and she moaned and shivered. He moved his body back farther and watched his cock as he pulled back with his hips then watched it disappear inside her again. They were both soaked with her juices, and the sight had his balls pulling up tight.

Emily shook, and her pussy started to spasm against his cock. She moved faster, crying out, nearly dislodging his dick from her tight sheath. She let out a whimper as the orgasm ran through her. He couldn’t hold out any longer. The sensations, the feel of her and the sight of her pushed him over the edge. He let go of her clit and held her hips as he slammed into her hard and without mercy. He could feel the sweat slide down the sides of his face.

Closing his eyes, Charlie focused on the feel of Emily. She was tight, hot, and wet. Her pussy held his cock like a glove. He could live inside her forever. Charlie knew the end was coming fast, and he worked her pussy hard, riding her from behind.

“Oh, God…mmm…your mouth is lethal, baby.” Cole’s deep moan had Charlie snapping his eyes open. He hadn’t realized how far gone he’d been, because at some point, Cole had joined them.

He slowed his pace and watched his brother fuck their mate’s mouth in slow, deep thrusts. He mimicked the action. The pressure built until he couldn’t hold back one second longer. Slamming into her tight pussy, his cock jerked hard as his cum shot out with such force that Charlie leaned his head onto her back. It took him a minute to catch his breath, but once he did, he pulled out and placed openmouthed kisses along her back and shoulder.
