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?”
