Yes.

Of course she was. She’d wanted this big, sexy man to hold her since she’d been awakened to the possibility that he was the man for her.

Gulp.

Heat filled her stomach in response to the deep growling coming from him.

No. Not a growl. That sound was more like a purr. Jessica was stunned. The big, naked---did she mention naked, Bear was purring against her.

Strong, steely bands that were his arms wrapped tightly around her. The thick bar of his erection pressed against her belly. He was flustered, holding onto his control by a thread, and he was definitely aroused. And it was all because of her.

Jessica’s panties practically melted off her body. She was so warm, so wet. She knew he could smell her desire, but that was alright with her. She could smell his, too.

It was almost too much to comprehend. The sexy Bear Shifter wanted her.Jessica moved against him, loving the groan that pulled from his throat. She felt powerful, feminine, her nerves buzzing with electricity and awareness.

Yes, please.

“Uh, Brayden?”

“You stopped,” he murmured, dipping his head down to the hollow of her neck.

“I don’t want you to stop, Jess. I like it when you touch me.”

Jessica’s mouth went dry at that confession. She had never really touched Brayden before. Truth be told, she liked it too. Liked the feel of the big hard Shifter under her hands.

Want more, the Tiger hissed.

He rumbled against her, pressing his mouth against her overheated skin. Brayden’s nose and lips grazed the skin of her neck, followed by the slow drag of his fangs. Jessica whimpered at the contact. The promised intent almost too much for her she-Cat.

Hell.

It was enough to force her heat cycle, though she’d never experienced one yet. Fuck, it felt good to be this close to him.

Really good.

She tugged her hands free without moving out of his arms. Then she ran them over his arms and shoulders, all the way up to play with the hair at the base of his neck.

Brayden purred louder, and she sighed, holding him right where she wanted him. His lips and tongue felt great against the exposed skin of her neck. His naked body felt pretty damn good, too. Especially the way it was pressed up against hers.

She cursed the clothing she wore that separated them. And she wondered at her own bold thoughts as they held each other, petting, and nuzzling one another right outside the Pride House.

When did I become a slut?

The second that naked man wrapped you in his arms,her Tiger replied.

Jessica shivered, but she wasn’t cold. She never really bothered with a coat. As a Shifter, she typically ran hotter than most. Her off the shoulder sweater meant Brayden had easy access to her neck and, well, other things. Like her breasts.

They swelled against his chest, nipples hardening into pebbles at the very thought of him touching her, exposing her, putting his mouth on her.

Yes, please.

“Brayden,” she said his name, more moan than intended, but she supposed that was okay.

“You smell like gingerbread cookies, spicy and sweet. So fucking tempting, Jess, you’re making me insane with wanting you,” he murmured.

His tongue darted out of his mouth, and he tasted the skin just below her ear.

Shit.
