Each time she did, the center of his swollen flesh touched something inside her that ignited sparks of fire in her blood. With each forward movement, her clit dragged along the base of his cock. Energy shot through her. She’d never felt so free, so open, so downright alive.
“So good, so good,” he said, closing his eyes and throwing his head back. The tendons in his neck bunched and she had the uncontrollable urge to lick him. Before she could stop herself, she did. Her mouth sucked in the flesh of his throat and she was biting him.
“Katie!”
His hands tangled in her hair and he pulled her away. She gasped when she saw his teeth had elongated. His eyes were swirling masses of gold, the normal brown color obliterated.
“I need to mate you.”
They stared at each other for long moments. As soon as she nodded, he went into action. A groan escaped his throat, an eruption of sound, followed by an eruption of movement. He made her whimper when he lifted her off of him. In seconds, he had her flipped over, on her hands and knees in front of him, her ass up in the air, ready for his possession. He bent over her, his cock, still holding part of the knot, pressed against her butt. “There’s no turning back after this.”
“I know.” She pushed back against him. He moved with her, positioning her beneath him.
The head of his cock nudged against her entrance and his hands were hard points of steel on her hips. She looked over her shoulder at him, her long brown hair spread across her back and across the covers. Her eyes were the darkest he had ever seen them, darkened with passion. Love.
She smiled at him and took another piece of his heart with her. “Make me yours.”
Logan broke into a sweat as he eased himself inside Kate, his knot had subsided considerably, but there was still a hard ring in the middle of it. He fucked her slowly at first, thrusting inside then pulling out until the ring was almost out, stretching the entrance of her pussy. Then in again, out. His intent was to start out slow and easy, making it last, giving her slow and tender, something to remember when she thought of their mating in the future.
As he did, he felt the small tremors inside her that indicated that she was about to find her release. He stroked a little faster, fucked her a little harder. In minutes she was pushing back against him seeking his cock. He cupped the cheeks of her ass and pulled the two white globes apart. The move exposed her brown puckered hole. Gathering some of the juices spilling from her body, he used his thumb to rub them against the stretched hole. He watched as his cock sank into her and her ass started to clench around his thumb.
“Do you need to come?” he asked, pressing his thumb further into her opening.
“Yes!” she screamed, her voice muffled by the pillow beneath her head.
The thrusts of his cock turned hard and long as Logan finally removed the restraints that had held the animal in place and the man in control. He loved the feel of her ass as he brought it slamming back against him in time to his thrusts so he could go as deep as possible. Faster and faster he pistoned in and out. The shattering feeling that swept over him was indescribable. He felt as though he were being lifted higher and higher, wondering if he would ever be the same again once he fell back down to earth.
She was sobbing, her face pressed against the covers as he fucked her. He knew the sounds she made were from pleasure. What she didn’t know was that pleasure was about to increase a thousand fold. He felt himself swell inside her, but continued to move in and out. The knot caught against her walls and pulled at them, making him moan. He felt the pressure build inside him and knew the next step was inevitable.
Claim. Mate, his wolf commanded.
Damn straight.
As they neared the peak, he dropped forward, gathering her to him. He buried his face in her neck, knowing he was beyond anything he had ever felt in his life. His strokes slowed but deepened as he placed his mouth on her shoulder.
“I love you, mate,” he whispered as he slid his fangs into the tender flesh where her neck met her shoulder. Blood poured down his throat and he drank greedily, joining them together for all of eternity. It seemed as if the world spun around him as he claimed his mate.
She moaned deeply as she came again, her pussy clenching at his dick. His knot completely formed as he emptied himself inside her receptive body. They hadn’t spoken of children, but he knew the time wasn’t right this weekend.
That didn’t stopped him from imagining planting his seed inside her. The thought made his balls draw up and he was spurting inside her again. His teeth retracted and he unlocked his mouth from her shoulder. He licked the wound close, proud to know she would, from this day forward, carry his mark for all the world to see.
Falling to the side, he drew her into his arms, gathering her against him. Her body still rippled with sensation, and he felt as though she were stroking him over and over. They were both hot and covered in a fine layer of love sweat as his brother Hunter called the perspiration you wore after a fast and furious fuck.
Unable to stop himself, his hand touched her breasts, tweaking her nipples as she continued to shudder in his arms. He grimaced thinking he wouldn’t be able to wait until his knot went completely down before taking her again. He wondered if she knew just what she was getting into, mating with a wolf who would be horny for the rest of his life.
They lay in the aftermath of their loving, their arms wrapped around each other. Logan kept touching her, anywhere he could. Eventually, his knot did recede enough to allow him to pull away. They both groaned when they separated. He continued to hold her in his arms, this time face to face.
“I can just see you with a baby on the way. Your belly swollen with my seed.”
She punched him in the arm. “Cocky much?”
“You tell me,” he grinned as he covered her fist with his, slowly pushing the fingers apart before easing her hand down his body and over the hardening ridge of his dick. “You tell me.”
Katie’s laugh was cut short by Logan’s mouth as he claimed hers.
“I love you so much.’
“I love you too, baby. Always and forever.”
“Always and forever.” She echoed the sentiment before pulling his head back down to hers for another one of his heart stopping, panty wetting kisses.
SIX WEEKS LATER…
Katie stood in the waiting area of a military airport in Chicago, Illinois. She’d tried to get Logan to leave her behind when he went to greet his brother but he had insisted. She’d met his other brother, Jarod and decided Sara, his mate, had a long road ahead of her to bring that wolf to heel. But, seeing the smiles they exchanged, maybe they would both have some fun while she did.
The other woman with them was Hunter’s mate. She had heard all about the McCall siblings from Logan’s mother, Alice. Logan really was a homebody when time and responsibility allowed. She enjoyed the other couple’s company very much. They were like the set of parents she’d never had.
She felt a set of steel arms surround her and she surrendered to her mate’s touch. It still amazed her that he—and fate—had decided they would be the perfect match. And she had to agree. He was everything she’d ever wanted, but more importantly, everything she ever needed. She’d been worried at first, afraid she couldn’t give him what he wanted or needed. Those worries had faded as she’d witnessed the happiness radiating from him day after day, simply because she was in his life.
That happiness went ditto for her.
“Hunter is going to kill me and Jarod when he finds out we kept Julie’s pregnancy from him. Will you protect me, baby?”
“As if you needed the help.” While Hunter might have been the biggest of the three wolf brothers, Jarod and Logan were no slouches in the strength department. “And, I kind of agree with him. You should have told him.”
“Oh, you have a lot to learn about wolves and their pregnant mates.”
Her attention wandered to the plane touching down. Soon, his brother would walk into the building and there would b
e chaos. Julie was so happy she was bouncing on her feet. Katie had already heard Jarod and Logan scolding her to keep calm.
She bit her lip, wondering when she should tell him she hadn’t gotten her birth control prescription refilled and it was the right time of the month to conceive. They really hadn’t talked about when they wanted to start a family, just that they wanted one.
“Logan, do you think we might go up to your cabin this weekend, after you’ve spent some time with Hunter?”
He immediately turned his attention back to her and she realized he’d picked up on her apprehension. “Sure, anything you want.”
She turned in his arms, until she could see his eyes. “Anything?”
His eyes darkened, gold swirling with the brown. “Yeah, baby, anything.” His voice was a low rumble and she felt his wolf just below the surface. The animal came out more and more—especially when he thought sex was involved.
What she had in mind definitely involved sex. And lots of it. “Can we make a baby?”
Logan let out a low growl that had Jarod instinctively grabbing his mate and Julie and putting the women behind him.
“What the fuck, Logan?” he yelled. Katie realized she and Logan were far away enough that the other wolf hadn’t heard what Katie had suggested. At least there was some privacy between the brothers.
“I’m going to make me a damn baby, tonight, that’s what the fuck is going on, big brother!” Logan whooped and hollered and picked Katie up, twirling her around and around.
Well, so much for privacy, Katie thought as he lowered her back to the ground and kissed the living daylights out of her.
She didn’t care if he shouted it to the world. All she knew was that on a cold, snowy day, she had been saved by her wolf and that was all that mattered.

STRANDED WITH THE WOLF
Who wouldn’t want to be…stranded with a wolf?
When the snow started to fall in Chicago, everyone in Sara Allen’s office building quickly hurried home. Everyone except Sara and her boss, Jarod McCall. Why? Because her boss was CEO of McCall Holdings and a dominant alpha who made his own rules.
Even if it meant being stranded until the city shoveled its way out from under a record snowfall. As the hours past, Sara became more than upset with Jarod. He’d stranded her in a building with little food, a heating system that powered down on the weekends…and with him! How could she keep her feelings to herself when he kept touching her…kissing her…loving her?
Jarod was a big man with big appetites and he wanted his curvy assistant to satisfy them. Sara might think he was an inconsiderate jackass, but he knew exactly what he was doing…stranding her with the wolf.
RESCUED BY THE WOLF
Wolf shifter Hunter McCall didn’t have time to form relationships and he certainly didn’t want any attachments that might distract him when he was on a mission.
His destiny changed thanks to the winter storm blowing through Chicago—and the curvy brunette that needed to be—Rescued by the Wolf.
Julie Monroe was content with her life. She’d recently been promoted, had friends to spend time with, a family she could count on and…well, that was about all she had. No family of her own, no man to hold her and tell her he loved her. At least she didn’t have three hundred cats. Yet.
Traveling to a friend’s wedding, she suddenly finds herself stranded on the side of the road in a snow-covered city.
That’s when fate decided to step in…
THE HOLIDAY BALL: A WOLF’S CLAIM
One night…three wolves…
Hayden’s first official duty as alpha of the Barringer Pack was hosting the Holiday Ball. A Christmas dance that allowed single supernaturals to find a true-mate—or just hook-up. Hayden had avoided the events for years, not ready to take a mate. This year, he’d had no choice. That didn’t mean he wasn’t going to enjoy himself. And the curvy witch hiding in the shadows looked like just the delectable morsel for his hungry wolf.
Amber hated coming to the Holiday Balls. She left feeling sadder and lonelier than ever before. She’d accepted the fact that Santa wasn’t going to hand her a mate wrapped in a pretty red bow. If not for the edict from her grandmother, the coven’s matriarch, she wouldn’t be here tonight.
Of course, she’d have to thank her grandmother later…
THE HOLIDAY BALL: A WOLF’S FATE
Gunner Barringer was attending The Holiday Ball under duress and out of respect for his brother, the new alpha of the pack. He stood in the shadows, hiding. There was nothing for him here tonight. He’d enjoyed the annual event a time or two as a younger wolf. After all, it didn’t get the nickname f*** ball for nothing. But now he was a wolf broken in both body and soul. He had no desire to find a mate and no business being here.
What Gunner had forgotten was more than one match had been made on the night of a full moon when the world was filled with the magic of the holidays.
Autumn Covington was rare in the supernatural world—she was a peace pixie. Which just sucked in the middle of a f*** fest. Instead of giving off vibes of lust and wantonness, like her pencil thin, blonde haired cousins, she calmed the savage beast. Plus, she was the plumpest of pixie at the ball so her chances of finding a mate were…well slim to none. So, she’d just work the crowd as she’d been hired to do—sprinkle sparkles of calming pink so the horny wolves didn’t get out control.
That’s what she’d planned to do until the wolf in the shadows decided he wanted her all for himself.
THE HOLIDAY BALL: A WOLF’S DESIRE
The past year had been one of betrayal and heartache for alpha Kade Townsend. He’d seen his pack torn apart by a trusted friend turned rogue. He was attending the annual Holiday Ball only as a courtesy to the new alpha of the Barringer pack. He owed the man and his family, especially his brother, a debt of gratitude he might never be able to repay.
He thought himself destined to be alone, unworthy of a mate. Watching the Barringer brothers find their mates gave him a glimmer of hope that he might one day find his. He never expected his mate to knock him off his feet. Or be so damn deliciously curvy. His perfect woman.
Of course, he never expected to receive the help of a previously absentee fairy godmother and two wolves who decided to play cupid instead of Santa.
Daphne was tired. Tired of school, tired of barely making ends meet. Tired of serving drinks and foods to the skinny, pretentious pixies who thought they were the bomb. Of course, she could never hope to compete with women attending the Holiday Ball even if she’d been an invited guest instead of part of the wait staff. She was curvy, plain and…human. Everyone knew wolves mated with witches. Or the pixies.
All Daphne had going for her was a pair of shiny black shoes…

Ryland and Ryker Blackwood were twins. Identical, thigh clenching bear shifter twins who had no trouble getting women into their beds. Or bed. They’d shared just about everything in life—even their women.
The scent of the cat shifter they found on their construction site was driving both Blackwood brothers crazy with lust. Or was it? Every time they thought they were getting closer to finding the woman who would be their mate, one of their bears backed away.
