EXCERPT:
Taking a deep
breath, she reached her arms overhead, arched her back and inhaled the balmy
salted air.
She could almost
hear her muscles sigh, but despite the relaxation attempting to spread through
her limbs, her body tingled with a tension she knew settled too deep.
Her heat cycle
was starting, and there was nothing she could do to relieve the discomfort.
Well
almost nothing.
Dropping her
hands back down to her sides, she swept her gaze across the small beach. It
wasn’t crowded but had a fair number of sunbathers and Zen cravers. And most
importantly it had men looking for the same thing she was—a little fun, forgetfulness
and zero strings.
Although heat
pooled to her center, her stomach rolled in apprehension.
In the past
she’d had no problems with finding a willing male to sleep with when she was in
heat. She enjoyed sex, and although each year her parents hoped she would chose
a permanent mate, no man in or outside of her pack inspired much feeling or
devotion. At least not enough for her to be shackled to for life.
But last year,
because of The-Wolf-Who-Shall-Not-Be-Named, no one appealed to her.
Instead of
rolling around for several hours with a well-endowed chosen playmate, she’d
remained locked in her home for days with her vibrator and a healthy supply of
batteries.
She had no
intentions of repeating the experience. This week, she planned on proving to
both her body and wolf, that Marcus wasn’t the only man capable of making her
hot.
Her gaze combed
the area, looking for a good candidate.
One particular
man caught her eye.
He’d been
swimming for the last hour, his caramel arms cutting through the water in languid
strokes. But now he rose out of the surf resembling a naughty sea nymph, his
strong legs leading up to deep blue board shorts. Dry, she guessed the swimming
trunks were perfectly modest—but wet they molded to his thick muscled thighs
and cupped his cock in a way that left very little to the imagination. And
since Georgia’s imagination was better than the average wolf’s she bit back a
groan and clenched her thighs tight.
Yum.
Pushing her
sunglasses up to her hair, she licked her lips as her gaze traced the diamond
bright droplets of water running down his hard chest. They sluiced down his
body, aided by the tight ridges of muscles along his abdomen, tunneling down to
what looked like one hell of a stocking stuffer.
Merry
Christmas to me.
Yes, an island getaway
was proving to be the perfect holiday treat.
Her gaze
meandered back up his chest and after making a brief note of thick smooth lips
and tempting dimples, she made eye contact with her merman come to life.
His eyes
gleamed with interest and her lips turned up in her best come-hither smile. He
took a step forward and then froze, his gaze focusing on something just over
her left shoulder. Shaking his head he turned and continued walking down the
beach.
What
the hell!
She frowned at
his retreating back. Admittedly she was no super model but, she’d never had a
problem with luring men her way.
A long shadow
fell over her and it was her turn to freeze. Despite blocking out the sun, a
heated scorch rippled down her body as the approaching shadow crept down her
body. Her nipples pebbled to thick points, her pussy clenched and a slow growl
worked its way up her throat.
Only one thing
made her body react this way and she’d deliberately left it back in Golden
Valley.
“Hello Gigi. Miss me?”
