She was taller than him this way, and she liked having the advantage. Gretchen tugged his face up to hers, dropping long, tender kisses on his lips, then dipping her tongue inside his mouth.

An electrical sizzle of desire shot through her whenever she was with him, and her panties were proof of that. Damn, he was perfect.

Mine,her Tiger growled possessively.

Sheesh.

She’d need to keep a lid on her beastie.

“Mmm, you taste good,shona. I wish I didn’t have to return to the site we’re working on. So, tell me how’s work going today?”

She worked hard to rein in her inner slut, loving the hard feel of him beneath her ass, Knowing he wanted her just as much. The waiting would make later even better, and that was the only reason she was talking instead of ripping his clothes off.

“It’s good. I just had the spunkiest grandma in the world as a client. She had me dye the tips of her hair pink.”

“Cool. Doesn’t sound like my grandma. She wore her hair in a braid and used to hit me and Robbie with wooden spoons when we were bad,” he winked, and kissed her on her chin.

“Oh, yeah? I bet you deserved it.” Gretchen giggled, picturing him as a kid when she realized what he’d said.

“Wait. Who?”

“Oh. My brother, Robbie.”

“You have a brother?”

“Yep. He’s a seal.”

“He’s not a Tiger?”

“Yes, he is a Tiger,” he laughed, and she felt a warm blush spread over her cheeks.

“Rob is a Tiger Shifter, but he is also a Navy seal. We were both mischievous monsters when we were kids. Shifters have tons of energy, even if we can’t always change into our animals till after puberty,” he told her.

“Really? So, Elissa’s not giving birth to an actual baby Tiger then?” she asked.

“No, just a baby, but we call our youngcubs. He or she won’t change until puberty, usually about thirteen or so,” he shrugged nonchalantly, but his deep blue eyes landed on her stomach, and she could see the longing in them.

A child? Her body flushed with warmth, She had always wanted children,er, cubs.

It would be amazing, but not for a while yet, at least. She was no way near ready to have a baby. Besides, she’d been on birth control since she was a teen.

Reg had cured her fear about their lack of condom usage after explaining that Shifters don’t typically get diseases, and they definitely did not get STDs. She’d had a lot of questions, and he really did his best to answer them.

Sighing, Gretchen relaxed into Reg’s arms, and he contented himself drawing little circles on her back. This was one of her favorite things about him.

The cuddling.

Her Reggie always seemed to want to hold her, and Gretchen was more than happy to comply. There hadn’t been a lot of affection in her life growing up, and she relished each cuddle session for the gift it was.

He kissed her forehead and rested his cheek on top of her hair. He smelled so very good to her new supernaturally enhanced senses. Like fresh cut grass and a cool spring breeze.

Her inner she-Cat chuffed happily as she lay in his arms. She could definitely get used to this. That fact was worrisome in itself.

For weeks now, they had been inseparable. Either he’d spend the night at her place, or she’d go with him to his suite of rooms at the Pride House.

She’d been a little nervous at first. Being around Hunter and Elissa now that she knew who and what they were, basically her kickass bosses, was a little nerve wracking.

She might have had a little bitty bone to pick with her best friend about the fact that she’d all but lied to her. A lie by omission was still a lie in her book. Gretchen had been pissed Elissa didn’t tell her a thing about all this. Still was, a little.
