Forbidden Hunger (Lee County Wolves Book 1) by Teresa Gabelman Page B

disappeared as she eagerly crawled up his massive frame. Strong hands gripped her ass, helping her travel up his body. She placed her face in the curve of his neck and savored the feeling of her soft body against his strong hardness. Slowly, she placed a kiss against his neck, followed by a lick of her tongue. He tasted of man, pure male and she had to have more, especially when he moaned his pleasure. Something inside her clicked and she wanted to do everything in her power to please him. The thought and feelings frightened her, making her stiffen.
    “Let your feelings go, Janna.” He tilted her face to his. “The more you fight it, the more confusing it’s going to be. Trust me.”
    She searched his eyes, and at that moment, she realized she did trust him. Had trusted him immediately upon sight. Her eyes dropped to his mouth, and with no other thoughts, she went for what she was craving.

    Nothing in his life had ever been sweeter than Janna’s lips and acceptance of him. He knew by her taste, which was exotic in flavor, that she had finally given in to her feelings. It still wasn’t going to be easy with her being raised human, but soon, she would understand their ways, her way. She was a shifter and they loved differently, immediately and more intensely than humans. Once one found their mate, nothing would stop or control their feelings. She was a brave woman and a woman he was proud to call his own.
    Her body was ready for him. He knew it as did his wolf, but he would continue slowly with her. He let her lead for now. It was her time to explore not only him, but also her own emotions. Even as her sweet body and mouth devoured him, he was alert to his surroundings. Someone was out to hurt her, but they would have to first get through his pack and then him to lay a finger on her. It wouldn’t happen. A deep growl rose from his throat, one of protectiveness mixed with passion. Never had he felt this way for a woman and he’d had more than his fair share, but he and his wolf knew that his mate was finally in his arms. She had come home.
    Slowly, his hands moved over her soft body. She was beautiful inside and out. She wasn’t a small woman, but just the right size in his arms. She was perfection and she was his. Her mouth and body became more frantic as she searched for some kind of release.
    “Are you a virgin?” He pulled his mouth away to ask. He knew they had already discussed it, but he had to make sure. It didn’t matter. Okay, that was a lie.  It did matter because he wanted to kill the son of a bitch that took what belonged to him, but he had to know how gentle to be with her.
    “Didn’t we already have this embarrassing conversation and does it really matter?” she asked with a tinge of hesitation in her voice.
    “Yes, it does,” he replied, but then reassured her for the reason why. “If you were a virgin, I would make sure I was gentle.”
    “You know I’m not?” she whispered against his mouth.
    He gently grabbed her hair, pulling her away from his mouth. “I’m going to do what I wanted to do to you the first time I saw you.” He loved the look of anticipation coloring her face at his words. “I’m going to bury myself so deep inside you and make sure you never forget who you belong to.”
    His words spurred something inside her because she jerked her hair from his grip, leaned back away from him, even as her legs gripped him around the waist, and took off her shirt as well as her bra. His eyes landed on the most beautiful full breasts he had ever seen. Dipping his head low, he took one in his mouth as he blindly walked toward the bed. Laying her down as he continued to suck and bite her nipple, he undid the snap on her jeans. With her help, she lay bare beneath him, his hand finding the wetness between her legs. She was more than ready for him.
    With all her resistance earlier, Garrett was relieved at her responsiveness. Her hips bucked in rhythm as his fingers readied her for
