She tasted amazing, and I felt the desire radiating from her body. My body was also responding, and the way she was sitting in my lap, it wouldn't be long before she felt the evidence of how much just kissing her turned me on. Her fingers tangled in my hair, pulling my head off the pillow to deepen the kiss. I couldn't help but moan, the sound vibrating between us. I felt her shiver against me. Suddenly, she froze, our lips still locked, her grip tightening in my hair. My eyes snapped open to meet hers, wide and immobilized by an unspoken fear or memory. Shit. That didn't take long at all. At that moment, there was nothing I hated more in this world than the fact I resembled him so damn much. I reached up, gently coaxing her fingers from my hair. I let my head fall back onto the pillow, separating us. Bringing her hand to my lips, I kissed her fingers softly. A few strands of my hair were still wrapped in her fingers. "It's okay, angel. It's me. It's just me. You're okay," I whispered. --------------------- When Teagan, the owner of a small business, finds her life entwined with two intriguing but troubled individuals in an area primarily made up of werewolf territories, her existence takes a dramatic turn.
