“Work,” she grumbled good-naturedly. “He calls turning into a mythical creature work. Okay, Sir Kieran, work and then icecream.”
When they were nearly at the edge of the island, Kieran stopped. Looked around. “This is good. Can yousee?”
The silvery moon shone down upon them, giving off enough light for her to make out the tree limbs and the underbrush. “Not much. Pitchblack.”
“That’ll change. Your wolf’s night vision will kick in.” He sat on the ground, patted a space next to him. “Here.”
She sat. “Now what? Are we doing a drumming circle?” She arched her brows. “In thenude.”
“I was joking about getting naked. First, you must get in touch with your innerwolf.”
Her inner wolf? “Does she like mint chocolate chip icecream?”
Kieran sighed. “Quiet. Close your eyes and listen to thenight.”
They sat in silence for a few moments. Ella relaxed, thinking of the insects that hummed, the fish swimming in the lake, the cooling breeze caressing hercheek.
The craving for ice cream faded, replaced with a different need. A feral wildness filled her, the desire to run with the night. Let go of all her inhibitions and logic, and race like thewind.
“Do you feel the wolf inside you? The beast whining to befree?”
Eyes still closed, shenodded.
“Let’s work with her. Think of something that makes you feel wild and uninhibited.” His voice deepened to a husky timbre. “Your wildestdream.”
Dangerous ground. Her wildest dream involved a bed, Kieran and getting naked. Envisioning him nude, lying sprawled out in bed, his dark gaze filled with the same savage hunger shefelt.
Arousal bit her, sharp and sweet. Her nipples turned diamond-hard and she felt herself growwet.
His magnificent shaft thickening and hardening, growing ready to take her. And then she climbed onto the bed onto all fours, wriggling her ass. His penis erect and thick now, a savagery glinting in his dark eyes, Kieran seized her hips and pulled her against him, the tip of his penis nudging into her wetfolds…
Gasping, she opened her eyes to see his gazegleaming.
Why could she suddenly see better? And why was she thinking of sex, doggie style? Her fantasies had always involved a dark-haired stranger kissing her as they did it in the traditional missionaryposition.
A purr rumbled from his chest. “Ah, oh yeah. I like the way youthink.”
“You can read my mind?” Perhaps this was another superpower.
“I can scent your need. You smell delicious. Fragrant.” His voice deepened. “I may not be wolf, but I am a beast and you’re making it difficult for me toconcentrate.”
“Maybe I should think of icecream.”
She saw his wide smile as if the sun shone instead of the moon shimmering overhead. “Think of being a wolf, running through the woods and chasing prey. That should work. And I’ll shift, and my jaguar should coax out your wildside.”
Before her eyes, he turned into a jaguar, with a thickly muscled body, his pelt spotted, his fangs gleaming as he snarled at her. But she had no fear. Fascinated, Ella held out her hand. The great beast padded over to her and sniffed. She rubbed behind his ears and hepurred.
Then Kieran the jaguar pulled away, and began circlingher.
Why she trusted him, she did not know. But she closed her eyes. Ella tried to think of herself as wolf, envision herself as a beast on four legs, with fangs and teeth that could rip andpierce.
But all she could think of, as Kieran paced around her in his jaguar form, was her body’s urgent need for sex. Not sex. Mating. Hard, fast, urgent. The two of them in human form, snarling and tangling together in the night, slick skin beaded with sweat, his penis pushing deep inside her wet, tight vagina, making them oneflesh.
Breathing hard, she opened her eyes. Ella stared into the jaguar’s eyes as it stopped before her. “I can’t do this. All I can think about issex.”
Kieran shifted back to his human form. Nude, he crouched down, his penis thick and erect as he squatted on hishaunches.
“You’re too aroused. Your body knows we can’t have sex in our animal forms and you’re ripe tomate.”
