they
were deep in the forest. They didn’t need directions. She simply let her
instincts guide her, walking until the smell of humans faded and then
completely disappeared.
The farther they traveled, the blacker the night became.
Shapes disappeared and Angela relied on her hearing and smell to know her
whereabouts. A tree root hit the toe of her shoe and she stumbled. Firm hands
gripped her waist, steadying her.
“Maybe we should change,” Raul suggested, his voice directly
above her head.
At the same time, his hard body pressed against her backside
and instantly she wanted him. What a perfect way to bless their first night in
the rain forest, on the land of their ancestors. Tonight was the first night of
the rest of their lives, and regardless of the hardships of humans stealing the
land where once so many of them roamed freely, they would make this work. In
this corner of the world, Costa Rica was still very undeveloped and the
peninsula even more so.
Angela allowed tiny sparks to ignite down her spine,
enhancing her senses, until the shadows surrounding them returned. “Even in the
darkness, everything is so beautiful, so perfect,” she mused.
“It’s going to take a hell of a lot of work to build our own
homes,” Rafe pointed out. “Where is this place we’re allowed to rent? And what
kind of payment do these jaguars want?”
“We can have the home for a year, and the amount of money I
offered pleased Miguel very much. We’ll be welcomed among these litters.” Raul
didn’t take his hands off Angela but instead moved them up her back and then
slowly massaged her shoulders. “There will be good hunting here.”
“You did the right thing.” Angela stepped away from Raul and
then turned, facing him. In the dark, his expression was masked, intensified
with shadows that added to his rugged good looks. But the way he looked at her
with his dark green eyes warmed her heart. A heart she knew she was slowly
giving to him. “I wanted you to know that. Already we’re all a lot more
relaxed.”
“I know I did,” he said quietly. “This is where we belong
now.”
She glanced past him at Rafe and Ran, who stood behind him.
Then, giving Raul her attention, she peeled off her shirt. All three of them
gave her all their attention. Her males, she thought, all of them. To protect
and care for while they created their new lives.
“Are you taking your clothes off to change, my little cat?”
Raul’s tone was suddenly gruff.
“You suggested that we would do better in our fur.”
Raul and his littermates’ eyes glowed in the darkness, the
change nearing the edge in all of them.
“I did, didn’t I?” he murmured, moving closer and covering
one of her breasts with his hand. “Something else sounds better now.”
“Here? Now?” The words barely came out.
Raul lowered his mouth to hers, kissing any further protest
away. Not that telling him no crossed her mind. When he lifted her and deepened
the kiss, her world became one of touch and smell. The ground was soft and damp
but her shoes and jeans quickly were removed.
“Yes. Here. Now.” Raul moved his lips over hers, and slowly
started kissing her cheek, her jaw and then her neck. He nibbled the sensitive
spot above her collar bone and she arched into him, the damp air caressing her
bare flesh.
His mouth moved over her skin, nipping and licking, making
every inch of her tingle. Raul possessed skills she didn’t know a male could
have. His hands caressed her breasts and teased her nipples. His undivided
attention was so incredible, so perfect. Her heart swelled along with the
pressure between her legs. The scent of her arousal filled the damp air,
hanging heavily around them.
She wanted to growl, to purr and arch into him. She craved
rubbing her body over his, feeling his coarse hair that teased her even more.
If only she’d known years ago that Raul was her perfect match, the good life
could have started so much sooner.
