“Make him put me down. Now!”
“I’m sorry, my lady, but as the lord’s bond-mate, it is up to him to…errr, discipline you for any transgression of our laws.”
Crap. What law had she broken now?
Tarrick bowed and she squeaked, clutching at his waist so she didn’t fall. His arm was firmly over the back of her legs though, so she remained securely in place.
“Thank you, Your Majesty. If I may take my leave with my… wife?”
“Oh, now I’m your wife, am I? I was just damn annoying when I was saving your life!”
Daaynal answered as though she hadn’t spoken. “Of course. Enjoy the rest of your bonding day.”
“Thank you, we will.” With that Tarrick turned and strode from the hall. Cat managed to wave at her friends, all clustered by the throne with weapons in their hands. Jess waved back just as the doors closed cutting off Cat’s view of them.
“Hey! Put me down!”
Her demands were met with silence as Tarrick strode through the palace corridors. Combat bots lined them now, as well as more guards, no doubt as a result of the purist attack.
It didn’t take them long to get wherever they were going, Tarrick shouldering open a door and barking an order at the bots outside.
“Now, my little mate…” He slid her down the front of his body, slowly, making sure she felt every hard muscle of his big frame. His eyes sparkled with amusement and something darker. More heated. More volatile. “How should I punish you for putting yourself in danger?”
Despite his teasing words, his hand shook when he lifted it to stroke her cheek. Stark fear eclipsed the desire in his eyes for a moment.
“Please, Cat. Never do that again. If anything were to happen to you…it would kill me. I…” He swallowed and gathered himself, looking her in the eye as serious as though he were about to go into battle.
“I love you, little Moore Cat, and without you I am nothing. I could not go on. I need you.”
Tears of emotion welled in her eyes, making her vision waver.
“I’m sorry…say that again?”
He loved her? She knew he cared for her, that he couldn’t get enough of her, but…loved her? She hadn’t seen that coming. She didn’t think the Lathar even had a word for it.
“I need you.”
Stubborn man.
“No, no. Not that part. Well, I like that part, but say the bit before it again?”
“If anything were to happen to you, it would kill me?” His lips began to curve, amusement heating his alien gold gaze again. Bloody man was teasing her.
“Yes…go on.”
He smiled, bent at the waist to scoop her up into his arms and carried her toward the big, circular bed in the middle of the room. “Cat Moore, lady of my heart, I love you. I’ve loved you since the moment I first saw you, and I will continue to love you until the end of my days. How’s that?”
She sighed, reaching up to turn his face toward her as he stopped next to the bed. “Perfect. Now, Mr. Moore Cat…how about you kiss your wife?”
And he did, sealing their bonding with a kiss as he laid her on the bed. Following her down, his lips didn’t leave hers. Heat enveloped them, their hands everywhere, peeling clothing away to reveal skin until they were both naked on the bed.
Cat gasped as he parted her legs with a knee, sliding between them to shelter in the cradle of her thighs. Big hands swept the hair away from her face, each touch a promise, each kiss along her throat an oath.
Reaching between them to grasp his freed cock, he rubbed the broad head between her pussy lips. She was already slick, wet for him, and the sensation of sensitive flesh sliding against sensitive flesh made them both gasp.
“Please, now…” she begged, her arms around him to hold him close. “Make me yours.”
He pulled back to look her in the eye, his expression open and loving as he looked down at her.
“Mine,” he murmured as he pushed forward and claimed her in one slow slide of pleasure.
“Now and forever more. Mine.”
“Yours,” she agreed, closing her eyes and wrapping her legs around his hips.
From her greatest fantasy and worst nightmare, she’d found the best thing any woman could wish for…
Her soul mate.

Taken by the Billionaire Werewolf
Eva is screwed.
Maybe. Okay, definitely. And in a bad, not a good, way. Her trouble-magnet little brother has gone and gotten involved with vampires...and the deal's gone bad. Now he owes them and their repayment plan involves dead bodies rather than monthly payments. Which means Eva has no choice but to approach the last person she ever wanted to for help.
Alex. Her older, hot, ex-cousin from her mother's short-lived third, or was it fourth, marriage. He's also a billionaire. Hot, ripped, wealthy... Oh, yeah, and an alpha werewolf.
There's just one problem. Alex Kingwood never does anything without a price...
Her. For as long as he wants her.
AVAILABLE NOW
**Please be aware that this is a serial romance short that contains a BBW confident in her own curves and ends in a HFN. Shorter fiction is a fun and quick read, not a full length novel.**
Turned by the Billionaire Werewolf
She's bartered her body to the big, bad wolf...now she's in danger of losing her heart as well.
In return for dealing with her brother's vampire problem, Eva belongs to the Alpha of the Kingwood pack, and billionaire werewolf, Alex. The sex is scorching, and Alex as powerful and charismatic as she'd remembered him. An overbearing asshole she can deal with, but when the mask slips, her heart might end up a casualty of their little war too.
One weekend, that's all he'd thought he needed. Now a lifetime won't be enough...
Alex has Eva, the woman he's lusted after for years. Sex. That's what he'd told himself was what he needed. He'd get her own from under his skin and get rid of her. But things don't go to plan when long-buried emotions get involved.
Then someone else has issues with their arrangement, and Alex finds himself making the hardest choice of his life. Save her, kill her, or condemn her to a fate worse than death?
AVAILABLE NOW
**Please be aware that this is the second in a romance short series that contains a BBW confident in her own curves and DOES NOT end in a HEA (yet). Shorter fiction is a fun and quick read, not a full length novel. You should read Taken by the Billionaire Werewolf first for greatest enjoyment.**
