First Moon (New Moon Wolves) BBW Werewolf Romance by Michelle Fox Page B

the wood stinging her palm. “I’m fat, Tao. I have cellulite. I eat too much ice cream. I’m a cake snob, it’s practically my religion. You’re lying.”
    “You’re not fat. Whoever thinks you’re fat is an idiot,” Tao said patiently through the door. “I don’t believe you about the cellulite. I love ice cream and I want to go to your church so we can eat cake together, okay?”
    When she didn’t say anything, he sighed. “Here, I’m going to slip something under the door.”
    Audrey stepped away from the door and looked at the floor as a photo appeared. She picked it up, staring at it with a frown. The picture featured a woman as large as she was, but with auburn hair. The woman smiled broadly into the camera and she wore a low cut tank top, revealing ample cleavage. Next to her stood Tao, his smile just as wide.
    “What is this?” she called through the door.
    “A picture of my ex-girlfriend, Celia.”
    “Your ex?”
    “She ditched me for a guy from another pack.”
    His tone was matter-of-fact, but Audrey heard a little edge of sadness in the deep timbre of his voice. She knew what it was to be left behind. To not be good enough. That was the story of her life. “Oh. I’m sorry.”
    “She’s gorgeous, isn’t she?”
    “Yeah.” Audrey couldn’t deny the woman had a beautiful face and a great figure even if she wasn’t perfectly skinny.
    “So why can’t you be gorgeous too?”
    Audrey snorted. “Tao, come on. We’re not the same.”
    “No, you’re not the same, but you’re just as beautiful as her. Beauty doesn’t have a size.” He opened the door then and stepped into her bedroom, his blue eyes dark and stormy. “I’ve never looked at your size, all I’ve ever seen is how beautiful you are.”
    “Tao,” she said, her voice soft.
    “Sh.” In two steps, he was in front of her, hands going to her shoulders, pulling her close for a kiss. The photo fluttered to the floor, forgotten. Audrey fought not to swoon, but it was difficult. His musky, woodsy scent filled her nose and his lips claimed hers with a fierceness that surprised her. This was no gentle kiss, but a possession. His tongue stroked her hard and fast while his teeth sank into the full flesh of her bottom lip.
    Audrey moaned and tried to keep up, sagging against him as her knees dissolved.
    “I have three brothers,” he told her when he finally came up for air. “We’re all huge, bigger than other wolves. Sometimes women are afraid of us. Are you afraid of me, Audrey?” He tilted her chin up with a finger until their eyes met.
    Audrey thought of the first time she’d seen him naked in the cage. He was big. All over big. Just like her, yet different. “No, I’m not afraid.”
    “Will you give yourself to me? All of you?” His hands went to grip her backside.
    Audrey felt the heat rising in her cheeks...among other places. “I guess so.”
    Tao shook his head. “That doesn’t sound like yes. Let me ask you, do you want me?” His gaze bored into hers and something strange happened to her body. Her nipples hardened inside her bra and wetness seeped between her legs. Just like that, the man had undone her with one look.
    Well, damn.
    “Yes,” she whispered as a tremble of desire and fear shook her. She’d wanted him since she first saw him, but she hadn’t been able to admit that to herself until that moment. “But do you want me?”
    He answered her with another kiss, his mouth urgent, his body hard against her curves. Audrey moaned and leaned into him, letting him support her. She could barely feel her knees. Her body had ceased to exist, overtaken by heat, want and desperate need.
    Tao backed her up to the wall as he kissed his way down to her neck. “You’re so perfect, Audrey. You don’t even know how perfect you are.” His hands found her breasts, lifting them up, fingers grazing her nipples through her scrub top.
    Audrey stopped breathing as a bolt of pleasure seared her nervous system. Her good
