Panicking, I just swung open the door. Kai's enchanting eyes sparked wildly. He then rubbed his tonuge on his perfectly white incisor.
"You're so meaty...I want to ravish you right now..." he growled.
Kai slung his arm over my shoulder as we both sidled down towards the beach.
"The best beach in Bayside is Tiger Lily Cove. You can catch the highest waves, there's lots of palm trees for kickin' back and relaxing in the shade."
My eyes widened when we reached Tiger Lily Cove. My feet got buried in powdery white sand. Tons of people roamed around playing Frisbee, surfing the waves, racing each other or catching a topless tan.
Wait, topless?
"You didn't tell me this was a nude beach, Kai," I hissed.
“Well, I’ve just been taking a look at that list you’ve hidden underneath your pillow...it says right here—I want to be comfortable in my own body.”
My list? How did this idiot get his hands on my list?
“No one’s supposed to see that,” I hollered.
Kai shouldered to the front of me. “Why carry a list of ‘adventures’ if you don’t plan on ‘adventuring?’ ”
Then Kai focused his yellow eyes on me oddly. “You’re profile said you are always up for a good time.”
Dammit!
I struggled to punched Kai in his rock hard abs. Kai just stood as rigid as a statue, waiting for me to finish. My pale ass already didn’t belong you want me to ‘air’ out the girls too?” Kai obviously would try to do anything to get me naked.
"Seriously, you humans are so petty about showing off your flesh. Tigers walk around naked all the time. You're young—"
"I'm thirty-four..."
"—and life will be over before you know it. If it will make you feel better, I'll whip it out—just for you," Kai smiled over at me.
I shook my head. "What? No. Don't do that."
And before I could protest anymore, Kai already had his fingers digging underneath the waistband of his board shorts.
Whelp. He did it. He actually did it.
Kai stood unwavering with his cock hanging out for everyone to see. And he had a stunning cock at that, I might add.
Tossing his shorts aside, he strode behind my back looking fit as all hell. And I could feel his length grazing the back of my thigh.
Sure, it’s only skin, but still. But, I mean to just...just... bare it all! That’s just crazy. What if Kai hates my jiggly rolls? Panic set in to the base of my nerves. I snapped up when the broodingly sexy, and very naked, Kai grasped my shoulders.
I breathed deeply as he slowly untied the strings of my top. In seconds, my breasts were swinging wild and free.
"There's no shame of being proud of what you are," Kai whispered hot in my ear, letting his hands drift up my sides.
I smiled feeling a little bold. "Race you to the water," I hollered.
I got off to a head start. Even though my knees were on fire, I smiled like a giddy kid. Suddenly, I noticed Kai got left behind. Abruptly, a tiger launched into the ocean and I got splashed. Completely Drenched. I pulled back my waterlogged hair as Taj flashed me a devious cat smile.
God!
And suddenly, I didn't care about being half-naked anymore in front of prying eyes. The cool sea water dripped down all parts of my body and the warm sun hit my back. I haven't had so much fun in years. Kai waited for me to hold on to his fur so he could carry me back to the beach. I rode on is wet shaggy back and we both rested in the hot sand. Then I spent the entire afternoon sleeping against his soft fur. I'd never slept so well in my whole life.
Chapter Four
That night the whole clan arrived for a big dinner. It was kind of nice not having to worry about being the focus of the two alphas. All of the weretigers said it was one of the biggest bashes they had all year. Tiger cubs and tiger couples bounded through the sand. Jade, one the many astonishingly beautiful tigress, stood at my side.
"You're one lucky human," she snorted. "You've got two alphas who want to breed with you."
I still hadn't gotten used to the word "breed." It just sound so wild and feral. Honestly, I wondered with tigresses like Jade around—why would any tiger not be able to find a mate?
She rolled her eyes.
"Y’know they’re gonna want you to pick out your wedding date tonight, right?" she asked.
I shook my head.
"A wedding so soon?" I gulped.
What were you thinking, Jenny? You knew this whole thing would get serious. I needed more time, but more time for what? If they find out I’ve just been lying this whole time...I’m not sure what I’d do. Then my own doubts about my worth came flooding in my brain.
Kai and Logan are so gorgeous, they could practically have any piece of tail on the island. What if they get bored of me? What if they begin to see my ugly body for what it is? What if they get sick of me, find out I’m a liar and they never forgive me?
I no longer could take being alone with my twisted thoughts.
"Do you want a drink?" Logan asked me, ferociously looking my body up and down. He had this effortlessly tousled brown hair.
"Make it three," I huffed.
Logan guided me at my back to the table where the Matriarch, Saffron, and the Apex, Rojo, of the clan were laughing and telling stories about their Alphas.
"Yes, as a cub Logan was the smelliest of the litter..." Rojo chuckled.
Logan let a growl rumble in his chest, feeling rather annoyed.
"Father, we don't have to delve too far in the past. Why don't you tell stories of my bravery, strength and speed?"
Saffron, the Matriarch lifted her paw. "No, that's boring..."
"But what about you, Jenny?"
I jumped, forking some fire-roasted fish in my mouth. "Me?"
Rojo nodded. “You’ve been quiet most of the evening. Clearly, you don’t lack an appetite... it’s just you seem a little reluctant. This online dating thing you guys do, it is to seek marriage, right?"
Honestly, I had one...okay maybe five too many drinks. Guilt had me feeling like this hideous liar. And when they find out I’m just a boring Librarian, what then will they think of me? The Hunter clan had a beautiful family.
My stomach rumbled, feeling queezy. I slumped over, cupping my hand over my mouth. And another gurgle gags in the back of my throat and...
Chunks of what I ate last night upchucks all over my hand.
My face blanched white. God, I’m so embarrassed.
Logan grinned, shifting to my side and grabbing me in his arms.
"Just leave me be," I choked out.
I turned my cheek away, fighting back any more tears.
I sniffed. "I just want to get out of here."
"Come with me. I know just the place."
*
I followed Logan as he guided me in his feral form. The further we travelled the more lush and green the palm trees got all around us. Orchids surrounded us from all directions. And a bright and clear full moon hung in the sky.
I trekked forward, startled by all of the rich natural beauty, a roaring water fall surged over a high cliff face.
"You mean you've been hiding this place all of this time?" I asked.
"This is where I come to escape when pressures of being an alpha can become a little too much...when you and I are mated—it will be yours," Logan proclaimed.
Logan muzzled by back, with his soft wet nose and licked his scratchy tongue against my neck. I exhaled feeling his shaggy fur brush against my bare legs. Logan then shifted back to the form of a man.
Holy Crap!
Logan’s naked body gave me a heart attack.
My mouth went slack as I looked down at his thick tiger cock. And perverted thoughts crept in my head. He just shoved his hands between my legs and clawed off my damp cotton panties. My eyes looked down at his throbbing cock again—getting harder and harder by the second.
“Beg for me to slide inside you. Beg me to fuck you like you want to breed...” he growled
against my neck with the cockiest grin.
And I wanted Logan to rough me up and screw me hard.
"Yes, take me!"
Logan then snatched off my panties as I trembled half naked against him. Logan then brutally spread my thighs, pushed me up his throbbing meaty cock and pinned me hard against a nearby palm tree. I wanted nothing more than for him to slide his straining length right between my trembling thighs.
My alpha groaned against my neck, raking his fingers between my slippery bright pink folds. I braced myself by wrapping my arms around his neck. He then glided his finger inside my wet mound. I moaned and bit so hard on his shoulder I tasted blood in my mouth.
As Logan finger-fucked me against the tree, he invaded my mouth with his warm tongue. He then slipped out his finger and let the tip of his wet cock tap against my clit. He then slid his throbbing cock fully inside me. My wet pussy lips stretched and I moaned, bucking my thick hips.
He grunted and thrusted so deep I could feel his cock in the pit of my stomach. If I was dreaming, I didn’t DARE want to wake up.
“God, it hurts,” I cried.
Logan lowered his mouth over my nipples, sucking like he hadn’t had a drop to drink in years. He was thirsty to screw me even harder. I winced as he squeezed my breasts in his giant hands.
“God, every thick inch of you is sexy as fuck. Now, I’m going to eat out your ass from the bottom to the top.”
The combination of the salty ocean and air and his hot breath made me jerk as Logan pulled me off of his length.
He then pushed me face down in the sand so hard, I could taste it in my mouth. Logan mercilessly sucked my clit and licked all the way up, tonguing deeply in my pussy. He grabbed my ass cheeks, spreading them wide and sniffing fully.
“Your scent is so wet, and so fucking tight,” he growled, sliding in and out.
Logan groaned, fucking me harder. He grabbed me by the neck.
“Yes,” I screamed. “Please, fuck me.”
My body quivered as I felt his hot come slide down my moist folds. It’s like he had a spell over me. And I couldn’t ever escape.
Chapter Five
I woke up the next morning with the sun shining fully in my eyes. My body rested curled up in Logan's soft striped fur. My tousled sandy hair draped over my face. A massive hang over was only aggravated by the all of the blinding sunlight. The glare forced me to peek only out of one eye.
No! No, I didn’t...
Logan roused up from slumber with grains of sand stuck to his soft pink nose and whiskers.
He yawned, roaring with his jaw stretched wide. His ridiculously huge razor sharp teeth could easily rip through my flesh, but instead Logan rose up on all fours and nuzzled me enthusiastically in my back.
Quickly, he shifted back into his human form, naked, and yanked me backwards towards his tight nicely sculpted chest.
"How did you sleep last night? I didn't break any bones did I?" Logan teased.
A trust existed between us that I didn't think I'd ever feel with any man.
"Hey, I'd break a few more to feel that good again..." I purred up against his neck.
A broad grin curled up in his stubbly cheek. "Well, if you feel that way, It's time to tell the clan you've made your decision," he told me with an intimidating look in his eyes.
Adrenaline surged through my nerves. Now, I really have to choose. And I knew Logan wanted an answer.
"Can't we just give it a little more time? I mean, we don't want to rush into things..."
Logan relaxed his arms from around my waist. He rested his head against mine, thinking. I maintained a safe distance. There’s no telling how he’d react to my ambivalence. I didn’t know, just yet, if settling down was the next step I was willing to take.
"You know what, that's a great idea, Jenny. Why even have a ceremonial wedding? We can just elope and start breeding at least six litters of cubs right away!" Logan exclaimed. I’d never seen such an alpha male so happy.
Wait a sec... Did he just say six litters?
I gulped. "That's not what I meant..."
Logan hurried on his clothes, and then kissed me deeply on the lips. All of this started moving way too fast. I needed to find somewhere to hide before I was barefoot and pregnant with a litter of werecubs.
Chapter Six
A few minutes later, I was knocking on Kai's door. It didn't seem like a very brilliant plan, but if I told anyone else in the weretiger clan they might tip Logan off. I heard the thumping sounds of someone moving towards the door.
"Jenny..." Kai grunted in a serious tone. "If you’re worried about getting drunk last night. You’re fine. Uncle Raja does it all of the time..."
I had to think of an excuse to get the hell out of dodge.
"Know what? Why don’t you and I stay in. Get to know each other a little better,” I rushed over to the curtains and yanked them shut in a frenzy.
Kai sniffed the air. He then grabbed my blouse and inhaled its scent.
“His smell is all over you. Have you laid with my brother?”
They can smell that sort of thing?
"Yes,” I admitted plainly. "Now, he wants to elope."
Kai paused in deep thought.
"If he wants to elope, that could only mean..."
My faced turn red, knowing Kai had come to the conclusion that Logan pretty much banged the life out of me. He then eyed me with the expression of angst. He knew that must have been why Logan raced to make me his permanent mate.
Logan looked at me with a serious gaze. “Is he the one you’ve chosen to be you mate?”
I never really felt like I’d chosen anything. It just all sort of happened. Now, it’s time for the truth to come out.
Chapter Seven
Kai didn’t know the truth. The truth that none of this went according to my plan. And, what was my magical “plan” anyway? Who would of thunk it? Me. Me—being a home wrecking heartbreaker. The truth was, I couldn’t hide it anymore. I couldn’t lie anymore.
“There’s something else, Kai.”
Kai contorted his brawny body in a turn, clenching his jaw.
“It’s you who I’ve chosen to be my alpha mate...”
Well, maybe perhaps I could lie a little more...
Kai raked his fingers in his hair to keep his dirty blonde locks from falling in his eyes. “So, why did you sleep with Logan?”
“You’ve never made a mistake when you’re drunk?” I pointed out.
Kai tilted his head. The shifter had contempt for his brother but he had also done some questionable things when drinking more than his gut could handle.
He then circled me with his big tattooed arms. “That means I will call a clan meeting and make the announcement.”
God, this is so out of control.
“Nah, let’s not do that just yet...” I insisted, taking Kai’s cell phone and placing it back in his pocket.
“Like I said, why don’t you and I just spend the day together. That would be nice, huh? We don’t have to go anywhere or call anybody...” I emphasized nodding my head. Kai cocked his brow at me still unsure.
"Why don’t I make you something. A tigers gotta eat, right?" I replied.
Kai grunted.
Immediately, I sped off to the kitchen and dug through the back of his fridge. Honestly, I loved eating—but I hated cooking. Kai shot me a look, realizing that I didn’t know my way around.
“Hey, let me handle it, you seem like you’re a little confused...” Kai groaned snatching the frying griddle out of my hands. The thought of a shifter whipping up a meal, I must admit, put quite a fear in me. His gigantic frame moved towards the stove. And thirty minutes later, my nose twitched at the sweet smell of something sizzling in the kitchen.
A half-hour later, Kai’s hefty body roamed in holding two plates in his hand. My heart whirred at the sight of his rough scars. He set one plate in front of me and another right next to it. He made two sirloin steaks with grilled pineapple on the side. Not wanting to lo
ok like a greedy troll, I cut the steak delicately with my fork and knife.
“You know you can eat right...” Kai widened his mysterious golden eyes.
I half-smiled. Then cut a huge chunk and plopped it in my mouth. In that second, I glanced off at those scars again.
“Mind telling me where you got those?” I pointed out.
“Got it in a flight. My girlfriend—well, ex-girlfriend—skirted around with some hot shot mountain lion Lawyer from the big city. After I thwacked him in the face, he rammed his claws deep in my arm. Until that night, I thought she and I were destined to get married. That’s why I went looking online. I don’t think I’ll ever trust a woman who lies to me again...”
I swallowed hard. “Is that so?”
Kai got up and took off to the back of the room, switching on an old radio. Open windows, allowed a fresh breeze in and sea air tickled my nose. Old music from the 1950’s played through the static of the radio.
Kai outstretched his hand.
“Dance with me.”
“You like this old music?” I mumbled.
A deep chuckle echoed in Kai’s chest. “You can never go wrong with a classic.”
I wished the moment never had to end as I nuzzled my head on his hard chest. I squinted that there was once last piece of grilled pineapple left on Kai’s plate.
“You want that last pineapple?” I raised my brow.
“I was saving it to eat later...” Kai snarled.
“Really...” my voice heightened. “—not if I get to if first!”
Then I shoved him in his burly chest and grabbed the pineapple with a fork and rushed to the bedroom. Kai lumbered after me with a broad grin on his face. Laughing, I tried to pass him but he posted himself in the middle of the doorframe.
“You started this, and there’s no way out now,” he grinned.
I fell into a fit of giggles, kicking him with every ounce of power in my body. Kai held me firm and unyielding as I bit a chunk of the pineapple in my mouth. He sharply forced me down on the bed with an aggressive throw.
I recoiled under his weight as Kai slipped his hand underneath my dress.
