Untamed Hunger by Aubrey Ross Page A

they devoured the food Darman brought them, they spent the next several hours preparing the file for public viewing. Grayson used a combination of zoomed-in framing and strategic blurring to keep the scene from being pornographic. Watching herself change over and over was nearly as amazing as having experienced it firsthand.
    She was also moved by the emotions revealed in Grayson’s expressions and gestures. He’d been exhilarated, yet terrified for her safety. And once she had fully transformed, he’d been so careful with her, so tender. His love was undeniable.
    Tears blurred her vision and emotion burned in her throat. She reached over and squeezed his hand. “Thanks for getting me through this. It was…”
    He drew her hand to his lips and kissed her knuckles. “What sort of male would I be if I didn’t protect my mate?”
    Two weeks ago she would have insisted she didn’t need a man to protect her. But two weeks ago she’d been human, blindly following orders. She’d never thought of herself as complacent and gullible, yet that’s exactly how she felt looking back now.
    He powered down the workstation and pivoted in his chair, aligning their knees. “Life is going to be hard. Conditions in the rebel camp are pretty damn primitive.”
    “I’ve been in the military most of my life. I think I can handle it.”
    “Most of them don’t bother with clothes.” Challenge gleamed in his eyes, yet she detected a mischievous twinkle as well.
    She stood and pushed her chair aside. “I’m not ashamed of my body.” With deliberate slowness, she pulled her top off and let it fall to the floor. “Modesty is a human expectation and I am a felidae-morph.” She wiggled out of her pants and stood before him naked.
    Heat washed over Grayson as he looked at his mate. She was perfect, sleek and leanly muscled, yet soft and rounded as a female was meant to be. Her spirit pleased and aroused him. He stood as well, shedding his suddenly cumbersome clothing.
    Her gaze was just as bold as his, moving over his naked bodywith leisurely appreciation. She licked her lips and approached him, desire making her dark eyes shine.
    She put her hands on his shoulders and leaned in close, her lips nearly touching his. “I know you listed a tube of lubricant along with the other things we requested. Was it included with the bundle we received yesterday?”
    Lust curled through his body and burst in his groin, expanding his cock and tensing his muscles. “I didn’t realize you saw the list.”
    “Why did you want the lube?” One of her hands trailed down his chest, her fingernails lightly scraping.
    “I wanted to keep our options open.”
    “So why haven’t we used it?”
    “We were recording every move we made, and we were both worried about your impending transformation. I didn’t want to add to your stress.”
    “Are we being recorded now?”
    “I took all systems offline and you know it.” He pushed his fingers into her hair and stroked her cheek with his thumb. “Do you want to try something new?”
    “Go get the lube, and I’ll tell you exactly what I want.”
    Rather than bringing the lubricant to her, he took her by the hand and led her into his bedroom. He retrieved the tube from the drawer where he’d stashed it and tossed it on the bed.
    He drew her back into his arms and said, “There it is. Now what would you like to do with it?”
    “I want to take you in my mouth and make you really hard.”
    The hunger in her gaze and her interest in the lubricant had already accomplished her first goal, but he wasn’t about to argue. “And then?”
    “I want you on top of me, kissing me deeply while you move strong and steady in my pussy.”
    He pressed his aching cock against her belly, half afraid this detailed description would rob him of the control needed to fulfill all her desires.
    “Then before you come, I want you to pull out and catch your breath. I’ll turn over and get on my hands and knees the way we both
