Breeding Cycle: The Kategan Alphas 1 (paranormal erotic romance)
Page 12
Then Conlin will find me, and after he is through with me, I’ll wish I were dead. “Fine, I'll stay. But only until I get things settled with Conlin.”
Rome smiled then, but the iciness wasn't gone from his face. He stood and picked up her duffel bag, slinging it over one very large shoulder. “Shall we go?”
She said her goodbyes and was thankful for the chill in the air; it helped to control her raging emotions.
“I don't live far from here,” she heard him say and got into his black pickup truck. He held the door open for her. She didn’t want to be pleased that he did, but she was. It would not be a good thing to start liking Rome Kategan, she thought.
She was a little surprised to see him driving a truck when she could easily see him in a sleek car bulleting down a highway. Yet he started the truck and pulled away with smooth familiarity.
“You know, if you're scared to sleep alone, I'd be willing to share my bed with you.” He said it so easily, like he was telling her the time.
She shook her head and didn't dignify the offer with an answer. Besides, his comment had surprised the hell out of her and she didn’t know what to say. Yes, please? No, thank you?
Out of the corner of her eye she saw him smile and had to look away to keep from mirroring him. Alison thanked God when they pulled into a driveway some fifteen minutes later. The cabin was a two-story with stairs leading to the front door and a small porch that was barren of furniture. She could easily picture a swing or a couple of chairs there to fill up the space. Oh hell, now she was trying to decorate his house. Not a good sign.
“This is my place. You'll be staying next door,” he said pointing to a smaller, neighboring cabin. Alison wrapped her arms around her middle; she was closer to Rome's house than she would have liked. Hell, the first floor window on the side of his house matched with hers and she didn't have the luxury of two floors.
“Want to see it now or would you rather come inside with me?” His voice dropped low and seductive, sending a thrilling shiver through her belly. That was exactly the opposite reaction she should have to a man like him. She couldn't afford to get soft around him, especially him.
“No, thank you. I just want to go to sleep.”
“With me?” He smiled, crossing his arms lazily and leaning back against the truck. He looked like a sexy cowboy with his jeans, boots, and lazy smile. All he needed was a Stetson to finish the picture.
“Never with you.” The words were harsher than she’d intended. She flushed and marched to the small cabin. She heard him following, but stared straight ahead. He didn't say anything for which she was glad. Really, she was.

About the Author
I love to write the kind of stories that will keep you up late at night and make your heart pound. It’s my goal in writing to make each new book better, more exciting, more action-packed, not only to test myself as a writer but to keep thrilling you. I’m always trying to push the boundaries with my imagination, and yours, to create something new and different.
If you’re a fan of paranormal romance novels then you’ll love my Bellum Sisters Series. This isn’t your typical romance story, so be prepared for a kick of heat and tons of action. The Bellum Sisters Trilogy has received excellent reviews from paranormal bloggers and two of the three books are Top Picks from Night Owl Reviews.
Now, if you like shorter books with quite a bit of heat, humor, and action then I’d recommend the Kategan Alphas series. This erotic series features the sexy Kategan family and all the lucky men and women who get to meet them and complete their lives.
