Strange Lake Falls Panther (Strange Lake Falls Series Book 4)

by KD Jones

  “Don’t wait, I want you right now.” She wrapped her legs around his waist, opening herself up to him. She felt his tip enter her, slowly at first, but then he growled and plunged deep inside of her. She groaned from the wonderful fullness of having him in her. Connor purred. She loved that sound.

  “You feel amazing.” Connor nibbled her chin.

  “So do you.” She wiggled, encouraging him to move.

  He chuckled. “You want this?” He pulled out and pushed back into her hard.

  “Yes,” she breathed. Her heart rate picked up and she felt that familiar low flickering flame erupt into an inferno of need. “More, harder, faster.”

  Connor didn’t hesitate to give her what she wanted. He sped up his thrusts and kept a fast, hard, pounding rhythm. They were both sweating and moaning.

  “I’m going to . . .” Roxanne leaned forward and sank her teeth into Connor’s neck at the same time he sank his into hers. She came so hard she thought she saw stars. She could feel his cum shooting deep inside of her. He kept coming and coming. Finally he was able to pull out of her.

  The door opened and something hit the floor. Both Connor and Roxanne turned to look at a very shocked nurse. She backed out of the room, slamming the door closed behind her. She had certainly gotten an eyeful of Connor’s naked ass. Roxanne started laughing and Connor joined her.

  “We may never be able to come back to this hospital after that incident.”

  Connor smiled as he shifted to his side and pulled her against him. “That might be a little hard to do, considering it’s the only hospital around for several towns.”

  They held each other, neither wanting to let the other go. Roxanne sighed. “I don’t ever want to be away from you, ever.”

  He smiled. “I feel the same way. My life was okay before you, but only because I didn’t know what I was missing until I met you. You are the sun lighting my life with love and joy. I’m never going to let you go. You’re stuck with me.”

  She snuggled deeper into his arms. “You’re stuck with me too. I love you Connor.”

  “I love you too, beautiful.” They held each other as they fell into a comforting sleep.

  Epilogue

  Two weeks later

  Roxanne watched as Connor and the other men from the pack paced the waiting room. “You’re going to wear a hole in the carpet if you keep that up.”

  Connor growled. “Why is it taking so long?”

  Roxanne laughed. She felt a sense of déjà vu. It wasn’t so long ago they had been here in the same waiting room waiting for Jackie’s baby to be born. Except then it was Ric pacing the floor worried over Mary being upset. Now Mary was in the delivery room with Ric and Jackie at her side. Adrian was home watching their little vamp baby.

  A door burst open and everyone jumped up, expecting to see Ric. But it was Sam rushing through the door.

  “Did I miss it? Is the baby here?” Sam asked.

  “No, you made it in time. How was the drive?” Roxanne moved over so that Sam could sit down next to her.

  “It was fine except toothy over there drives like a damn granny. I swear I thought we were going to be pulled over by the cops because he was driving so damn slow.”

  Roxanne raised an eyebrow and looked over at the vampire guard that Sam teasingly called toothy. He shrugged uncomfortably and looked away. She held back her laughter. “Well, we’re glad you could leave school early to get here.” She looked down at her cell phone at the text that her friend Diana had just sent her.

  “Fur ball got us lost. We’re crashing in a hotel for tonight. Let me know how things go with Mary and the baby.”

  “Is that from Diana?” Sam asked.

  “Yeah. She and Lucas got lost and they are stopping for the night at a hotel.”

  “I bet the werewolf council is going to be pissed. They wanted her back almost two weeks ago.”

  Roxanne sighed. “I know. She wanted to stay here in Strange Lake Falls, but the council said that they needed her help.”

  “You don’t sound like you believe them,” Sam observed.

  “I don’t like the unknown and something tells me that Diana is heading into trouble.”

  “Is that why you asked Lucas to take her back to the commune?”

  “Yes, I know Lucas will keep her safe. They also needed time to work out their differences.” She would have said more but the door to the waiting room opened again. This time a smiling Ric came in. His had sweat covering him from head to toe and his hair was frazzled, but the joy beaming off of him was plain for all to see.

  “We have twins!” Ric yelled.

  “Shit!”

  “Wow!”

  “Way to go!”

  Ric grabbed Connor in a huge hug, practically lifting him off the floor. “Connor you are now a big brother to a healthy boy and a girl.”

  Connor looked relieved. “Is Mom okay?”

  “She’s perfect. She’s resting right now.”

  Connor smiled proudly. “I have a brother and a sister. What are their names?”

  “Your brother is Zack and your sister is Clair.”

  Connor looked over at Roxanne with tears in his eyes. “I have a brother and a sister.”

  “Congrats, honey. When can we see them?”

  Ric was heading back to the door of the waiting room. “They need an hour to recuperate. Everyone should go get something to eat, and maybe bring me back a couple of steaks. I’m starving.”

  Everyone laughed as they filed out. Connor came over to her and held out his hand. “Come on, beautiful, I want to run by the house for a bit.”

  “You’re not hungry?”

  “Oh, I’m hungry, but it’s not food I want.” He bent down and nibbled her ear.

  “Connor, you are so bad.”

  “Let me show you how good being bad can be.” He took her in his arms and kissed her breathless. God, she loved this man.

  *****

  “I can’t believe that you got us lost.” Diana stomped into the hotel room, throwing her overnight bag on the bed.

  “I didn’t get us lost, you got us lost when you told me to take that last turn that led us to a dead end.”

  “The map clearly shows that road would lead us to a more direct and faster route through the mountains. It’s not my fault you bought a map that was five years old.”

  “I wouldn’t have had to buy a map if you hadn’t messed up my car’s GPS.”

  “It was an accident!”

  “It’s like you are purposely trying to kill me bit by bit, starting with little things and building up to the finale where I keel over!”

  “You’re such an idiot!” She turned to poke his chest with her finger.

  “And you’re an accident-prone, tongue-lashing witch!” He walked toward her until her back hit the wall. Both of them were breathing heavily.

  “I hate you!”

  “Right back at you!”

  Lucas gripped the back of her head, pulled her toward him, and kissed her with the strength of all his pent-up frustrations. To her own immense surprise, Diana found herself kissing him back. She raised her arms and wrapped them around his neck. God, nothing had ever tasted as good as Lucas. She could kiss him like this forever.

  Then reality intruded as her cell phone started ringing. Lucas jerked away from her like she had stung him. Why did he have to send her such mixed signals? She reached into her jeans pocket and pulled out her phone to answer it.

  “Hello?”

  “Little Diana, it’s time. I’ll be coming for you,” a familiar husky male voice said before hanging up.

  Dread filled Diana’s body. Memories of her nightmare from an early childhood came pouring back. She started to tremble. She was so lost in her horrific memories that she didn’t even feel Lucas cup her cheek with his hand.

  “Diana are you okay? Who was that?”

  “My . . . my . . . m . . . m . . . mate.”

  Excerpt

  Neither said anything as Kyle wrapped an arm around her shoulders and walked her farther away. “I think there is another bathing area. I will see if I can ask the tribe leader where that is. I will also ask my father if we can bring a few of our engineers down here to build real stalls. I just don’t understand why these people don’t relocate to the domes or to our ships.”

  “It’s the only home they’ve known. People will tend to pick what is familiar over what is new and alien to them.”

  They stopped and Kyle maneuvered Rachel to where her back was leaning against the wall. He trapped her in his arms and leaned his body close into her. She couldn’t easily escape. He took in her robe and her damp skin. The idea of her being completely naked underneath the flimsy material had him hard and aching.

  “You can’t be alone like this. Someone could catch you while you are almost naked and have his way with you.”

  “I’m not completely naked. I have a robe on.”

  “What’s under the robe? Are you even wearing undergarments?”

  She blushed and looked away from him. “I don’t think that’s any of your business.”

  “Oh but it is. I’m in charge of security. And what the hell are you wearing on your feet?” He bent down and lifted her left leg to pull off the shoe.

  “That’s my flip-flop. Give it back.” She had to reach out to grab hold of him to keep her balance.

  “A flop what?” He shook it and frowned when it flipped back and forth.

  “My flip-flop. I wear them on my feet for showers so that I don’t walk on the dirty ground. It’s one of the things we brought from the dome to distribute.” She snatched the flip-flop and shoved it back onto her foot. She jerked her leg from his grip a little too fast and lost her hold on him. She started to fall but he caught her and pulled her tight against his chest.

  They were both breathing hard and Rachel could feel her nipples harden. “Let me go, Kyle.”

  “I can’t.” He leaned down and took her lips gently but firmly.

  She shoved him to break their connection but he wouldn’t let her push him away completely. “We shouldn’t do this.”

  He moved further against her until he had her pressed tighter against the wall. It was not enough to hurt her but enough to keep her right where he wanted her. “We should, we really should.” He leaned down and kissed her again this time, pressing and teasing until she opened up for him.

  “That’s right. Open up for me, baby,” he encouraged her.

  Rachel wrapped her arms around his neck and pressed herself closer to him. He tasted so good, like nothing or no one she had ever encountered. His flavor was sweet and sexy with a spice she couldn’t quite place. It was addicting and she sucked on his tongue to try to get as much of it as she could.

  Several guys in the dome had kissed her before. But they were boys compared to Kyle, who was all man. She had never had this reaction to a kiss before, either. He seemed to know exactly what to do. He must have had lots of practice. That thought didn’t sit well with her.

  She felt his fingertips touching her bare shoulders and they trailed down her bare shoulder and then down her arms. She moaned when she felt Kyle take one of her naked breasts into his hand. Naked? How was she naked?

  EXCERPT: Katieran Prime

  (Warning for mature readers only)

  “We have a security breach in the interview room!” The lieutenant sounded out of breath.

  “I’m on my way!” He looked at Ren and knew he had heard about the breach. Ren nodded that he was coming too.

  The two men turned to run at full speed toward the hotel ballroom that was being used to conduct the interviews. As soon as they burst through the double doors, they both came to a screeching halt. They were unprepared for what met their eyes.

  About fifteen Earth females stood cowering against the walls of the interview room. That wasn’t what caught their immediate attention. Near the center of the room were six Earth females standing in a tight circle, with one lone female standing in the center of the protective circle. The female seemed to be swaying slightly.

  Katieran warriors surrounded the circle of Earth females, giving commands to the females to calm themselves, to which the Earth females responded by shouting back at the warriors to shove something up. . . Ren wasn’t exactly up on Earth vernacular. One female, with a brunette braid falling midway down her back and dressed in Earth’s warrior attire, seemed more aggressive. As two Katieran warriors advanced towards her, the female warrior took them both down to the floor.

  Ren looked at his brother, who seemed just as shocked as he was.

  “By the fiery flames of Kitana, what is happening here?” The commander looked at the nearest lieutenant who was sweating fiercely. “Why are the females acting this way?”

  The lieutenant looked at both the Prime Leader and the Prime Commander and hated that he was the one having to explain the situation. “Prime Commander, those seven females came in right at the end of the interview session. The medics had been dismissed, so the females were not given the translators. We tried to explain the interviews were over, but they did not understand without the translators.”

  The lieutenant continued, “We noticed right away the female in the middle of the circle was breeding and seemed very sick. We tried to get her to come with us to have the medics check her out. She did not understand and feared us. The female warrior took a protective stance and the other five females joined her and formed a protective circle. The female breeding looks to be in very bad shape.”

  Ren could barely make out the female in the circle’s center. She was wearing a large jacket and had covered her head with a hood. But he could smell her. She had the extra hormones associated with breeding. She smelled like the sweetest flowers grown in Katiera’s well-groomed gardens. He liked the way she smelled.

  “Warriors, report!” Commander KydEL yelled. All the warriors presented themselves before the Prime Commander. Kyd stared into the light brown eyes of the female warrior before he turned his attention to his warriors. He touched the comm link attached to his ear to call the medics back to the interview room immediately with seven translators.

  He assigned each warrior the responsibility of carefully subduing a female while the medics administered the translators. Kyd planned to subdue the female warrior himself, since none of his lieutenants wanted the task. Ren would be responsible for reaching the female breeding and ensure her safety.

  All Katierans held the health and safety of females and children to be of the highest importance.

  As the medics arrived with the translators, each warrior took a spot in front of a female. Kyd stood in front of the female warrior. His six foot eight towered over her five foot five height. He liked that she was much smaller than he was. He gave her an arrogant smile that made her respond by sticking out her tongue at him. His sex instantly hardened. Damn female.

  Ren stood back behind the warriors but kept himself at a sli
ght angle so he could keep his eyes on the female in the center of the circle. The other females were yelling words that didn’t quite translate to Katieran. Ren wasn’t sure that was a good sign.

  The Commander let out a loud shrill whistle, which was the signal for the warriors to move. As one, the warriors surged forward, each one grabbing hold of a female and dragging her away from the circle. The warriors wrapped their arms carefully, but tightly, around each female, holding their arms down by their sides.

  Ren held his hands up non-threateningly as he approached the frail female. He could smell her panic. She only stood about five foot three. She shivered and looked very pale. She looked up at him as he neared and turned in an attempt to run, but she lost her footing. She started to fall.

  Ren acted quickly as he rushed forward to catch the female in his arms. The hood fell off her head to reveal long, red hair. It was as flaming red as Katiera’s second sun. Beautiful hair. He lifted her easily into his arms and pulled her gently against his chest. She looked into his eyes and his breath caught. She had light green eyes. They were a shade lighter than the Waters of Katiera, and just as beautiful.

  The female struggled to get free, which was pointless, he was too strong. It was all too much for the weakened female. She soon fell unconscious in his arms. Worry for the female’s well-being consumed him. He yelled for the medics.

  EXCERPT: Rage

  The recorded fight they had just watched was one with which Rachel was familiar. She had actually watched the match with her friends and co-workers at the local Galactic Pub. Rage had been her uncle’s favorite.

  “I am not sure I understand what the mission is. Did you want me to investigate the fighter?” Rachel asked, not taking her eyes off Rage. Even covered in alien blood, he was hot. He stood over seven feet tall and was reported to weigh two hundred fifty pounds. His body was all muscle.

  “We want you to start your investigation with the GCFA circuit. It may lead to individual fighters.” Marks handed Rachel a personal electronic display, a PED, with a beautiful woman’s image on it. She had long, sable brown hair and chocolate brown eyes. She had mixture of a Hispanic descent, and she was human, at least in appearance.
