Shifter Romance Box Set Read online

  With a gentle shift he let his crown retreat, and then slide inside her once again, equally teasing them both with his barely-there penetration.

  “Damn it, Alex.” She tightened her thighs again, and had the nerve to growl at him, bare her teeth. Shit, that was hot.

  “When I’m ready, sweet.” He took great care while he lowered his body over hers, the muscles of his arms straining to be gentle with his human mate. He swept down, captured her lips and slipped his tongue into her mouth, fucked the moist cavern in the same rhythm as his cock toyed with her pussy.

  He rolled his hips, slow and easy, giving her just another inch, a slightly deeper penetration, but still withheld his entire shaft from going all the way in. He wanted her to beg, to cry with need, to be willing to accede to anything he demanded.

  Like…becoming his mate.

  Or, at least, just agreeing to be his.

  He could always work on the “mate” thing later.

  The damned beast was riding him hard, snarling and snapping and demanding that Alex let it take control, let it sink its canines into his mate and claim her. Like, right now.

  Maya moaned into his mouth as she fought for dominance, making his lion puff with pride at the fact that its mate could hold her own against him, giving as well as she took. Alex pulled away from her inviting mouth in increments, slowed and calmed their fight until their lips were barely a hairsbreadth apart, forcing them to share each other’s breath.

  “Please, I need you.”

  He couldn’t hide the smile that took over his lips. “How bad?”

  “It hurts. So bad.” She leaned up, nipped his lower lip.

  Alex then rained gentle kisses along her jaw, and was pleased when she tilted her head to the side, granting him better access, subconsciously submitting to him. He licked and nibbled a path to her ear, caught the lobe between his teeth.

  “Are you mine, sweet Maya?” He bit the spot below her ear, reveled in her quick, indrawn breath, the shudder that traveled through her, causing her sweet cunt to tighten around his shallow invasion.

  “Yesss.”

  “You belong to me, don’t you?” Alex laved at the spot again, and traveled farther south along the column of her neck.

  “God, yes.”

  The cat was pleased, and her admission helped to ease the painful scratching and clawing that came from inside his body. “I’m going to keep you, and this sweet, luscious body in my bed, and I’m not gonna let you go.” She nodded against him, but he wanted to hear the words. “Say it, sweet Maya. Tell me you agree.”

  “Fuck. Yes. You’re keeping me in your bed.”

  Prickles of pain came from inside his mouth, and Alex knew the beast wouldn’t be denied any longer. He opened his jaws, placed his teeth against the soft, tender skin of her shoulder, and sank his sharp canines into her flesh. At that exact moment he shoved his cock deep into her pussy, sheathing himself to the hilt. Maya arched into him, head tilted back and gritting her teeth. A soft whimper escaped her lips.

  A growl formed in his chest and the lion snarled and roared, reveled in the taste of its mate’s blood sliding over his tongue. He drank down the fluid, and let his saliva slip into her body to mingle with her blood stream.

  Then the man emerged… Alex froze, fully seated in her cunt, a bolt of pleasure overtaking him with each tremor that traveled through her silken heat.

  Distantly, he heard a shout of pleasure. Maya clutched at his shoulders, legs firm and strong around his waist, and she tilted her hips, as if she longed for deeper penetration.

  “Alex, Alex, Alex…” She chanted his name, and so, he picked up the rhythm, timed the flexing of his hips, the thrust and retreat of his cock to punctuate her words.

  With her claimed, and the transition beginning in her body at the DNA level, Alex was free to take her as he desired. He gently withdrew his teeth from her shoulder and lapped at the wound to start the healing process, and all the while he kept his hips moving, pistoning his cock in and out of her sweet cunt.

  Wound now taken care of he turned his attention to pleasing her, his true mate. Alex pushed himself up so he could stare into her eyes, watch her as her pleasure unfolded.

  Maya released her hold on his hips, dropped her feet to the mattress, and began meeting each of his thrusts, the sound of flesh on flesh filling the room, mingling with the heavy panting of their ragged breathing.

  He kept up his tempo, hard slams of his cock into her quivering pussy, her heat milking and massaging his shaft. “Fuck, Maya. You have such a perfect little cunt.”

  That earned him a tight squeeze of his dick, her mouth opening on a gasp.

  “You like that, don’t you? Like hearing how much I love fucking this pussy?” Her slippery sheath rippled. “I want you to come on my dick. Then, I’ll come deep inside you.” Her walls gripped him tight, eyes glazed with passion.

  Fuck, just watching her got him nice and close to coming. His balls drew up tight against him, aching to let go, fill her pussy up with his cum.

  Observing her reaction he increased his pace, angled his hips until he got the response he was waiting for. A tilt, a swivel, and then…

  Her entire body trembled, eyes fluttering shut as Maya cried out, “Alex!”

  And there it was. He’d found the sweet spot inside his mate once again. In time he knew he’d be able to find her G-spot without a problem, and he’d enjoy every minute of learning exactly how to pleasure her.

  With every thrust their pelvises met, pressing against her clit while his dick stroked against her happy place inside. Each entrance was greeted with a tightening of her pussy, a tantalizing rhythm that seemed to be begging for his cum.

  He was panting with effort, sweat coating his back and brow as he tried his best to please her. His beast was totally onboard with that plan, wanted to make sure its mate was fully satisfied.

  Her short fingernails dug into the skin of his arms and shoulders, pushing his arousal higher, lion and man both loving the fierceness of their mate. Alex wanted more of her marks, wanted her to scar him, as he’d just scarred her. He couldn’t take her bite just yet, not with her transition still incomplete, but the scratches and gouges would do for now.

  The rhythmic tremor of her pussy increased, coming faster and faster, milking him harder than before.

  “That’s it, sweet. Come for me…” Alex panted the words, the effort to hold back his own orgasm increasing with every thrust of his cock inside her slick pussy.

  She tossed her head back and forth, babbling, sobbing, and begging all at once. Her petite hands released his shoulders and moved to fondle her breasts, fingertips playing over her nipples, and he’d be lying if he didn’t ache for another taste. “Give me one of your tits, Maya. Show me how much you want my mouth.”

  “Fuck, Alex…” She did as he asked, holding it steady for him while he lowered his head.

  He pulled the nipple into his mouth, every suck mimicked by a tightening of her pussy as if the two were connected. She dug her nails into his scalp and the lion roared inside him, rejoiced in its mate taking what she needed, shoving her breast farther into his mouth.

  Alex nibbled, bit and teased her, hoping to yank her orgasm closer with his every move. He expected her to explode for him at any moment, her breath increasing with each slide of his cock, his mouth and teeth on her nipple, lightly grazing the sensitive nub.

  “G-Gonna…”

  He released her breast, captured her gaze with his. “Do it, Maya. Come on my dick.”

  Beneath his focus, she came apart. Her eyes widened, back arched and mouth dropped open on a scream. That sweet, wet pussy clamped tight around him, and his dick responded in kind, throbbing and twitching in her canal, balls high and tight and ready to shoot his cum.

  Her orgasm seemed to go on and on and he still worked to keep his pace, drawing out her pleasure while taking his own.

  With a shift of his hands he grasped her unbitten shoulder, held her steady while he prepared to fo
rce another orgasm from her. His body was ready to come deep inside her, with his pleasure gathering by the moment, each ragged breath drawing his climax closer.

  He increased the speed and strength of his strokes, her pussy still responding to his fucking. The slaps of their bodies turned into fierce slams, his sweet mate passionately meeting each thrust, compelling him to increase the power behind his moves.

  “Fuck yeah. Take it, Maya.”

  “Yes, yes, yes…”

  His balls smacked against the bottoms of her ass while he pounded into her, and he could feel his climax right there, teetering on the very edge. The pleasure, the ecstasy of being inside his mate, rose with each second, hurtling him over his own precipice.

  “Come inside me, Alex!”

  Alex couldn’t quiet his lion’s growl if he wanted to, the animal taking control, as if he were trying to somehow pleasure Maya even more.

  “Gonna…come!”

  “God, yes.”

  His fulfillment was in reach, and the beast propelled him over the edge. His balls emptied inside her, filled her soaking pussy with his cum, body trembling and spasming with the force of his overdue orgasm. Breathing took a backseat to the ecstasy he felt, the joy of stuffing his mate with his seed, painting her inner walls while rolling in utter bliss. He bucked and jerked, cock mimicking his body’s motions while he came, pulsing deep inside her sweet little hole. His hips kept moving, but without any rhythm, spurred on by his orgasm, with pleasure overtaking his every move.

  With Alex’s hips still sealed to his mate’s, he felt the tremors ease and slow in time, as did his breathing, until he simply lay panting over her, his body resting and aligning with her abundant curves, cushioning him with her warmth.

  “Mm…” Maya sounded sated, happy.

  His cat was damned cocky about that fact.

  Turning his head he lapped at the nearly-healed bite, pink scars the only reminders of his claiming.

  Maybe she wouldn’t notice until he had a moment to explain. Maybe he’d get a year leeway or something. Wishful thinking.

  Holding tight he rolled them until his lazing mate covered him like a blanket, his cock still comfortably resting in her pussy. She squeaked at his move, but quickly settled, and buried her face in his neck.

  Alex stroked her back, soothed and petted her, his lion finally at ease, now that its mate was fully claimed. The damned thing was purring.

  “That was,” she breathed against his neck, snuggled closer, “amazing.”

  “Mm-hm.” He was afraid to say anything else, not quite sure how he was going to explain his earlier actions. His beast had finally relinquished control, teeth and hair receding, until Alex was pretty sure he looked human once again.

  He slid his hands farther south, kneaded and squeezed her ass, enjoyed the feel of her heavy globes in his palms. She was made for him, plump and soft in all the right places. The perfect woman to carry his cubs, to nurture them, to mother them. Purrfect.

  “Thank you.” She shifted, pushed up as if to leave him.

  Never! He shifted his hold, and wrapped his arms around her shoulders. “You said you were mine, sweet.” He worked very, very hard at not sounding psychotically possessive.

  “I… But… That was just…”

  “That was just me saying you’re not going to leave my bed. Ever.” Okay, he was totally being psychotically possessive.

  She fought his grasp, and he eased his hold a little, letting her raise her chest, but still keeping a firm grip on her waist. “Look. This was fun, but—”

  Alex placed a finger over her lips. “But you loved every minute, no? Tell me you’re not attracted to me. Tell me this doesn’t feel really right, and that you truly want to walk out that door and never see me again.”

  He already knew her answer even if she didn’t want to face the truth. That she yearned to be near him as much as his lion demanded that she always be close at hand.

  She shook her head. “Alex…”

  He sighed. “How about you just stay the night? Let me make breakfast for you in the morning?”

  Maya relaxed against him once again. “This is totally against one-night stand etiquette, you know. You’re supposed to kick me out now.”

  Alex laughed. Because, whether she knew it or not, Maya wasn’t leaving him. Ever.

  Chapter Three

  Tiptoe through the window…

  Okay, she wasn’t going to be tiptoeing anywhere. It’d be more like cautiously creeping, with carefully plotted movements. Plus, she wasn’t headed out of a window, because there weren’t any.

  Maya’s whole body hurt, but in a very good, and never bad, gimme more kinda way. Wow. Alex could seriously fuck a girl stupid. Three times when it was all said and done. She’d never been with a guy with that kind of stamina, and he woulda given her more if she hadn’t told him he’d broken her vagina. But then again, Alex wasn’t your ordinary man.

  Seriously.

  Of course, after he’d “broken” it, he had to apologize, going down on her once more before letting her pass out from being fucked senseless.

  Not that she was complaining.

  She was totally going to have to get with Gina before the next kitty orgy. And by then, maybe Alex could be two-night material.

  Yum.

  Maya inched toward her edge of the bed, eyes and attention focused on the hot hunk of cat-man next to her. She was surprised when he didn’t move as she extricated herself from the bed. In two shakes she rolled her naked self from the mattress, landing not-so-eloquently with a soft thump. As quick as a fluffy rabbit she popped her head back up and breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that he was still asleep. Aw, Alex looked so cute, pillow cuddled to his chest and nose buried in the plush fabric.

  Okay, enough. She had to get a move on. Distant sounds of people stirring down in the club filtered up the stairs and to her ears, which to her, meant she should truck on out of bow-chicka-bow-bow land, and back into her real world. She just needed to get through her walk of shame, and then, she’d be home free.

  Watching Alex she carefully padded through his room and removed a club shirt from his closet. A quick peek into his dresser netted her a pair of sweatpants. Damn, she prayed they’d fit.

  Walk of shame outfit hastily chosen she slipped the “borrowed” garments on, then snagged her shoes and purse. She didn’t bother trying to hunt up the remnants of her dress or panties. Without a doubt, they were a lost cause.

  She moved ever-so-quiet as a mouse through the room…

  Heh. Mouse. And he was a cat. She nearly snorted. Maya made it to the office door and slipped back into the main club with Alex being none the wiser.

  Score one for Maya!

  Feeling oddly triumphant she stood on the main floor with a solitary destination in mind. Front door to the rescue!

  Except…

  Except two strong arms grabbed her from behind, wrapped around her waist and tugged her back against a tall, firm body, a hard cock nestled along the crack of her ass.

  But it wasn’t Alex. She twitched her nose…oh, no, he didn’t… He didn’t smell like Alex, and there was no hint of the man she’d spent the night with surrounding her. A part of her bristled at a stranger touching her.

  Maya twisted, tried to free her arms from the ones holding her captive, and her defiance was met with a low growl, the deep, penetrating sound reverberating through her. “Hold still, baby. I’m aching for another go. One for the road.”

  The stranger leaned forward, nuzzled her neck much like Alex had done last night, but it didn’t have that same tender feeling. It seriously squicked her out.

  The guy reached up and palmed her breast, the shirt she wore the only thing keeping him from touching her skin. God, revulsion poured through her, the mere idea of someone besides Alex reaching beneath the shirt, getting skin-to-skin with her, was enough to have her go all badass ninja on his ass. “Let go of me!”

  “A fighter. Ooh, yeah, babe. I see you want it a little
rough. Sure, I can do that.” He nosed her hair out of the way, took a deep breath against her skin. By now, she figured it was a shifter thing. They seemed to rely on their senses a lot.

  Icky guy behind her froze the moment he’d taken a full breath, and then let it out with a heavy gust, dropping his arms in a split-second, instantly leaving her personal space. “I-I’m s-sorry. Didn’t mean…didn’t know… You’ll tell him, right? That I had no idea?”

  Maya turned to face the guy, with a fierce, uncontrollable anger pouring through her veins. He wasn’t unattractive or anything. No, in a strictly clinical sense, she could appreciate his muscle-packed body and strong bone structure. He just didn’t do it for her. Not like Alex. Really who could, after their passion-filled night?

  She sighed. She figured she’d probably be hung up on the man upstairs for a while. Argh. Stupid hot hottie. Why did he have to affect her so?

  The guy stumbled back even farther away from her, tripping over a chair in his haste to put more space between them. “Right? You’ll tell him?”

  Damn, she couldn’t ignore his constant pleading, or the sheer look of fright on his face. Maybe it was a cat thing? That guys didn’t do women who’d just spent the night with another? She nodded. “Sure, I’ll tell him.”

  He ran a hand through his hair. “Okay. Good. Thanks.” He heaved out a breath. “Right. Do you need any help, Prima?” Prima? Maybe this was another shifter thing? “Have you eaten? I-I could make you some breakfast, if you’d like. If you can find a place to sit.” He gestured toward the rest of the club, and Maya took a good look at her surroundings.

  Dang, the place had been destroyed! She now noticed at least a dozen naked bodies all piled together across the room. Apparently, cats took their orgies pretty damn seriously.

  “Um, no. I’m just gonna go home. And, uh…”

  “Prime okayed it?”

  Shifters. She had to remind herself she was around an entirely different species, one that had their own set of rules and whatnot. “You mean Alex? Sure. We’re good.” She nodded to emphasize the point, and prayed that he couldn’t smell a lie or anything.
