He saw the confusion in her eyes but she obeyed without question. He watched her slide over his brother’s cock, cradling it in her slim fingers as she lowered her shaking body down his length.
When Cal’s cock was buried inside the trembling little body of his mate, Gar growled, “Bend down…give him your neck.”
“He can’t bite it…he’s almost dead!” she sobbed as she obeyed.
“He won’t have to.”
Jessie leaned down as ordered and watched out of the corner of her eye as Gar lifted his brother’s head until the bruised and bloody face was less than half an inch from her, then she felt a sharp stab of pain, and realized that Gar had just sliced a small slit in her neck. Her hot blood poured down over Cal’s face and Gar forced the slack jaw open and pressed Cal’s mouth over her vein. She was sobbing helplessly, begging her lover to swallow the blood and take her strength. She closed her eyes and clutched his body tight, holding his massive weight with only her slim arms.
Gar was speaking to his sibling, his dark-gold eyes closed and his own powerful body trembling with the effort to revive him. She joined her inner voice with his to call her mate back to her.
And then she felt it—the slightest movement of his lips on her skin. The light drag of his tongue over her bleeding vein. Then the cock inside her surged and her pussy felt as if it might burst, it was so full. A deep, rumbling growl vibrated against her throat and his fangs broke the skin. Her head fell back as she screamed in orgasmic ecstasy and began to rock her hips madly in answer to the need that curled through her body and heated her blood. She had never so desperately needed sex before—never before ached to feel a cock buried hard and thick inside her as she humped wildly. She feared she would injure Cal, but he held her to him hard and lifted into each downward stroke of her body on his.
Jessie felt her orgasm building…swelling…sweeping her, body and soul, into the estrogen-induced hysteria that all Seronta females felt when they first came into their mating frenzy. She turned her head to take her mate’s mouth, tasting her blood on his tongue and lips, and she knew. How it had come to be, she had no idea. But regardless of what she was, her soul mate had found her and she had no intention of ever letting him go—even to death. She would beg him to keep her.
She fell across Cal’s body and buried her face against his throat, where his strong pulse throbbed beneath her cheek.
“I’m so sorry I failed you. I will do anything you ask if you will just let me stay close to you… Just don’t send me away.”
Cal’s hands slowly slid to the twin globes of her sweet round ass and he pulled her closer, driving himself into her again. And again. When he could speak, he whispered huskily against her soft throat, “Just try to leave me again, Jessie. I will run you to earth no matter where you try to hide. You are mine. Do you understand?”
She jerked her head up to stare down into his gold eyes, tears running down her face. “You still…want…me?”
His eyes slid lovingly over her wet face. Her heart caught in her chest. “I will love you for as long as I live.”
She swallowed the tight knot that threatened to choke her. Love? So this was what love felt like? She laughed shakily and as she moved her body to pleasure them both, she heard him groan weakly, “Sweet gods, Jessie…don’t ever stop.”
Gar stared at them, unable to fathom what he had just witnessed. He would never have believed it possible had he not seen it himself. He closed his eyes, his mind wrapping itself laboriously around the sight of his brother’s mate bursting from the earth on the hillside…
Silver as she had been in her wolf form, but dappled with soft darker spots, the female his sibling had mated with and shared his blood with had become something he had never expected to see in his life…doubted that anyone had seen in over a thousand years.
Legend told of the great leopard mother—the white alphea—but legend had not prepared him for the real thing.
Cal still had no idea what his mate was…and Gar could imagine his sibling’s response when his sweet little blood mate changed again. He had never seen a silver-white leopard face-to-face before, and he greatly suspected that Cal would have the shock of his young life if he expected his tiny mate to continue to be submissive and timid. The creature could easily wipe the floor with either of them. Despite his amazement, Gar had to chuckle softly. Of course, having her in the clan would prove extremely beneficial, after seeing the way she had handled the remnants of the Lykos pack.
Now all he had to do was explain this to Hallie…
If everything is all right I want you home now. The boys are asleep, and I need you.
He didn’t need further urging. He had a mate to pleasure, and sitting around watching his sibling being ridden deliciously into the earth was more than he could handle.
Coming, my love…
About Fran Lee
Fran Lee began writing romance novels at the age of 14. Life intruded on a budding writing career—namely, paying the bills, raising a family and the usual run-of-the-mill things that leave a writer no time to pursue a career as frivolous as authoring romance books. Or so everyone told her. But she never gave up on her childhood dreams of writing.
Other things caught her fancy over the years—horses, eBay, martial arts, not necessarily in that order. Over the years, her childish dreams were set on the back burner over and over again. But the things that caught her fancy blossomed into self-confidence—she achieved her black belt in her chosen martial art, spent a fortune on eBay and had the great pleasure of owning a number of wonderful equine friends.
Now she concentrates on her various fancies by collecting horse statues and figurines, teaching karate to kids, and spending time dragging out those old romance novels and bringing them up to snuff for the 21st century. The dream has come true—and it was well worth the wait.
