Her lovely, long hair was tied up, harshly drawn back away from her face. Her usually glowing skin was pale and slightly sweaty, yet Brandon couldn’t imagine her looking more beautiful.
“Hey, Brandon. You okay?” Laura looked straight at him, concern written over her face. She dropped her bag and stepped toward him.
His cat leapt up and took control. He didn’t expect it and gasped, pushing down with all his strength, but he lost the battle. He felt his control slip away from his fingers like a dream disappearing back into the night.
“Tyler!” Brandon groaned and staggered back, feeling the shift come upon him.
Every inch of his skin heated and changed, cinnamon fur sprouting out as he fell onto his knees, his limbs morphing into the lean legs of the Rocky Mountain lion.
He looked up to see his brother holding their woman. She was staring at him, her mouth gaped open but not speaking.
Brandon stared at her through his lion eyes, damning himself for slipping like that. Such an adolescent move.
He dropped to the floor in the most nonthreatening position he could manage and flicked his eyes up at her. She continued to stare at him and something within him stirred to life. He began to purr with happiness, his lion half supremely happy to finally be within reach of her.
“It’s okay, Laura. I’m sorry, I meant to explain before Brandon shifted, but he couldn’t control it.”
Laura stared at him unblinkingly and he stared back. He didn’t dare move in case he spooked her. He’d never forgive himself if she ran now.
“He…what?” Laura moved back and forward on her feet, shuffling like someone deciding whether she wanted to run or stay.
Please stay, sweetheart. I need to feel your pussy around my cock at least once.
Brandon was feeling calmer now, his blood was cooler, and he could feel his humanity within reach. It was time to shift back. They needed to talk.
He leaned back on his hind legs and let it happen naturally, without forcing it. Watching his brother with Laura in human form made him yearn to touch her, too, with his own hands.
He rolled up and into his body, feeling his bulk stretch and fill out his skin. His clothes were in a puddle on the floor and he didn’t want to step back into them.
Laura screamed and bolted around the couch, holding onto the leather with both hands as she glared at him.
“Don’t you ever do that again without warning me first! Do you understand?”
Brandon laughed, shocked into it by Laura’s characteristically unusual reaction. Fuck, he loved that woman.
No! Oh, hell, I do.
Brandon sobered quickly and nodded. “Yeah, okay.” The fact that she was inferring to the future made him smile, but he tried to remember how strange it must have been for her to see such a thing.
Laura blew out a breath and stood up straighter, her hands relaxing their death grip on the couch.
“Okay, wow. Okay…”
Brandon looked at his brother for help. What were they meant to do now?
“So, okay. Your family, all of them? Can they do that?” Laura rattled off the questions, her voice high and squeaky. Brandon watched her with pride. She was obviously confused and freaking out, yet she was still here in their home. She got major credit for that.
“Ah, yeah, they can.”
“Okay, okay…” Laura began to pace, muttering to herself. “So it really is true. My...whatever you guys are…you turn into mountain lions. I can deal with that. I am a vet, after all.”
A hysterical giggle burst forward and she turned to stare at Brandon with wide, bright eyes. He was beginning to feel uncomfortable standing in the middle of the room, naked. If they weren’t going to get into anything, he better cover up.
“Oh, wow.”
Laura’s eyes ran up and down his body and his cock began to react. Brandon groaned aloud as heat and blood flowed to his groin and he began to harden once again. He released a gasp and reached a hand out to the woman that supposedly was his perfect match.
Let’s see how you handle this, beautiful.
“You gonna’ help me out with this? Coz I’ve been hard for you since the minute I laid eyes on you.”
Laura’s tongue snuck out and wet her full pink lips, making them glisten. He may be pushing her, but he needed her and he wasn’t afraid to ask. Brandon reached down and began stroking himself. Hot, hard flesh ran between his hands and he stared into Laura’s green eyes. She looked hungry and aroused. Why wasn’t she moving?
Tyler cleared his throat. “Brandon, I think you need to go fix that yourself. Laura’s in shock.”
Brandon’s heart sank. He really had hoped that fate would send him a woman who was perfect for him. A woman who could handle every part of him, especially his high sex drive. He let his cock go, his balls tight and aching. He turned and began to move toward the hall, disappointment like a lead weight in his gut.
Laura stepped across the floor and cut him off. She reached up to cup his face and narrowed her eyes.
“I still have so many questions.”
He ran his hands down her arms, fighting the need to take her hard and fast.
“I’ll answer any questions you have later, sweetheart. You just need to give me a kiss first.”
Her worried expression cleared and she tilted her face up for a kiss. Brandon met her halfway, tasting the delicious nectar of her mouth, and letting go of all restraint. He pulled her into him and let the moan escape as she opened her lips and let him in.
Laura pulled back and reached down for his dick, gently stroking the shaft up and down, and watching him with huge eyes. “Should we take this to the bedroom, my big lion?”
Never had any other words sounded so sweet to Brandon’s ears, and he heard Tyler’s growl of approval.
“You look a little, wild…”
Brandon huffed out a laugh and took Laura’s hand in his. He headed down to their bedroom, hearing Laura’s giggle as she jogged behind him to keep up with his stride.
He guided her down the hall and into the end bedroom. He’d never take Laura to his old bedroom, he’d had other women in there. It wasn’t where he wanted her. She was theirs, and she’d always be loved in this room where no ghosts lay.
Not love! You’re screwing her, remember?
Brandon shook away the internal thought as they entered the bedroom and he turned to pull Laura into his arms. No matter what word he placed on it, he was going to get inside her tonight.
“I want to feel your pussy wrapped around my cock.”
Laura shivered in the circle of his arms and looked up at him with wide, trusting eyes.
“You want that too, don’t you, beautiful girl?” He waited for the affirmation, a part of him needing to hear the words that would solidify what her actions had already shouted.
“Yes.” The word was whispered, but in the quiet room she may as well have screamed it.
Brandon crushed her lips with his, his hands groping her ass and dragging her against his naked body. Tyler joined them and Brandon felt his hands sliding around her breasts, making her moan, and kissing her neck.
She pulled back and dropped down on her knees. “I want you too much. I know this first time should be a bit slower, but I’m aching for something hard and fast.”
Brandon nodded and gripped her head, drawing her toward him. What a thing to hear from his mate! He didn’t care if it was slow or fast, long or short, he just wanted her.
“You can have anything you want, you gorgeous woman.”
Laura moaned as she slid her hot, wet lips around him and sucked hard, drawing him in like quicksand.
“Oh, fuck. Laura…” He couldn’t drag his eyes away from her face as she swallowed down his cock.
She moved with an enthusiasm he’d never seen, and he couldn’t look away from the picture she made. She was addictive to watch and he felt his orgasm dragging on him. Fingers of pleasure danced along his spine as she moaned and moved up and down on him. She looked so damned innocent as she
gazed up at him, making eye contact while her mouth was full of his dick.
He pulled his cock out of her mouth with a fast jerk, his body so close to coming that he made it by a mere second. He blew out his breath, his body still throbbing in the strain of having to stop the inevitable topple into orgasm.
“Up. Now.”
He didn’t care if he sounded like a caveman, uttering single-word sentences in a tone lucky to pass for human. He wasn’t afraid to admit how primitive he felt.
Laura jumped to her feet and stared at him with a cheeky grin on her face.
Brandon kissed her again, unable to stay unconnected for a single moment.
She moaned and opened her lips, meeting his seeking tongue with her own. Her orange-flavored taste exploded through him and he pressed his cock against her. He needed to be inside her, feel the very core of this woman who had bewitched him.
He pulled back and tore at her clothes. He’d been dreaming about her lush curves and gorgeous cunt all week. Work had been a fucking nightmare when he’d been fighting an erection all bloody day.
“I need you naked, Laura.”
Laura stepped back and with a few fast moves, she had her clothes pooled at her feet. She stood in front of him in her red underwear, the lacy cups enticing his hands to lift and caress her.
“My turn.” Tyler stepped around him, now naked, and Brandon stifled the growl that rose. He’d forgotten for a moment that his brother was even there. He took a few steps to the bed and sat down to watch the erotic show happening in front of him.
Tyler had unhooked Laura’s bra and was slowly revealing her curves, licking her skin and suckling on her nipples when they came into view. She panted and moaned, leaning back and holding his head as he feasted on her.
Brandon couldn’t resist reaching for his cock, stroking it slowly as he watched Tyler pleasuring their lover. Not one pulse of envy passed through him, if anything, his arousal sat constantly on a low simmer. Holding strong, yet waiting for his turn to burn.
Tyler knelt on the floor now, pulling her lace panties down and delving eagerly between her thighs. He stroked her gently, exploring her flesh. “You’re so wet for us already.”
Tyler’s ground-out words punctuated Laura’s moans as Tyler moved his thumb over her clit to make her pant and gasp. Her panties hit the floor and Brandon inhaled sharply, the air rich with Laura’s arousal.
Tyler pressed open her thighs and she spread her legs. He set his mouth to her clit and she reached for his head, her knees looking like they were about to buckle.
Brandon stepped around them and pressed into Laura’s back for support, wrapping his arms around her waist.
She cried out and leant back against him, gasping her pleasure as Tyler continued to lave her clit with his tongue.
“Oh, God… Oh, Tyler..”
Brandon slid his hands up and cupped her breasts, tweaking her nipples as she screamed out her orgasm. She shuddered in his arms and he kissed her shoulder, his own body throbbing in need for this sensual woman fate had chosen for them.
When she relaxed and settled against him, Tyler kissed her small patch of dark hair and stood up, pressing his lips to hers in a reverent caress.
“Let’s get her on the bed.” Tyler spoke to him over her shoulder and slid his arms around her, lifting her easily into his arms and laying her down on their bed. She smiled up at him and stretched her arms above her head like a cat who’d had the cream.
Brandon grinned down at her. We aren’t done with you yet. He walked around the huge bed, crawled across the mattress, and patted the center.
“On your belly over here, Laura.”
She rolled over to him looking hot and flushed, yet strangely satisfied as she moved into the position he wanted.
She looked absolutely delicious laid out before him, and he ran his hand down her spine, enjoying the sensation of pure bliss. Such smooth, soft skin. Such amazingly succulent curves of flesh, all flowing smoothly along her body. The curve of her spine, her plump ass, her long legs. Yum. His lion wanted to mount her, bite her, claim her, and Brandon realized with a small amount of surprise, that so did his human side.
He lay part of his body over her back and set his teeth to the side of her neck. Laura arched up so that her back was plastered against his hot chest and panted out, “Harder, please.”
Oh, hell yes! Brandon slid his fingers over her hip and cupped her ass, loving the feel of the flesh in his palm.
“Fuck, you’re hot,” he told her before doing as she asked and sucking her neck harder, knowing he was marking her and loving the feeling of it as her salty skin filled his mouth. He grunted and bit her harder, exulting in the way her hand came up and cupped his head to hold him closer.
He needed to be inside her.
Chapter Nine
Brandon slid on top of her and spread her legs with his knees. She tilted her pelvis up and bumped her ass against his belly in an invitation as old as sin itself. She wanted him too, and both parts of him wanted to cry out in relief and thanks.
Brandon’s heart was pumping blood fast along his veins as he moved back and pulled her up on her knees so that he could stare at her plump cunt.
“Oh fuck, that’s hot.”
He reached out, spread her cheeks apart, and watched her pussy open for him. Her juices glistened against her lips and were lighting the way to heaven.
“Stop looking at me.” Laura began to get up and close her legs.
Paradise was disappearing.
“No way. You’re fucking beautiful.”
Brandon looked over at his brother and tilted his head. Tyler slid onto the bed and knelt next to Laura, holding out his cock to her.
Not what I was meaning, but good enough.
“Would you suck me too, gorgeous?”
She looked over her shoulder at him, worry furrowing her brow. Brandon grinned at her.
“Suck him, beautiful. Then I get to fuck this beautiful body and make you feel good.”
He ran his fingers between her legs, tracing the wet contours and pressing on her clit, making her gasp. He loved how responsive she was.
“Protection?”
Brandon shrugged. He didn’t want anything between them.
“We can’t carry diseases because of the lion genes, and I’ll pull out.”
Something wild flashed in Laura’s eyes for a moment.
“I’m on the pill for health reasons. If you’re sure you’re healthy…”
Brandon nodded again, “I promise.”
Laura stared up at him for one more moment before she looked back at Tyler and opened her mouth for his cock.
Brandon’s twin slid straight in and Brandon felt it like it was his own cock getting sucked. His flesh ached and hardened even with no contact.
He looked away, sounds of pleasure filling the air as he continued to stroke Laura’s clit and she made Tyler moan.
“I need to taste you.”
Brandon fell to his belly and slid his tongue over her clit. It was swollen and slick, tasting of honeysuckle and sin—a perfect combination to make his head spin. He flicked over the beautiful bud until Laura was crying out to him.
“Brandon! Please!”
He knelt behind her, set his cock to her entrance and pressed the throbbing head into her. She moaned around Tyler’s cock and pushed back against him, the move so carnal and hot that he growled deep in his chest.
Control! You’re not a bloody horny teenager anymore!
He gripped her hips and held her there, rocking his pelvis so only the head entered her. Over and over again he flexed his hips, torturing himself and her with the too-shallow penetration. She was tight and hot, so sweet and perfect. Everything in him wanted to scream out that he’d found exactly who he’d been looking for.
Too soon, you idiot. Too early to be sure.
“Do you want it, baby? Do you want my cock in this juicy cunt?”
He continued to rock, letting her have just the first few inches a
nd controlling it with every bit of strength he had. This moment had to be unforgettable for both of them. He never wanted her to forget the first time he took her.
“Yes! Please!”
She came off Tyler’s cock long enough to speak, and he thrust home.
She came, her back arching up as she pressed back against him, her pussy clamping down on him so tightly it felt like she was trying to squeeze the life out of his cock.
Brandon panted and gripped her hips hard, reigning his orgasm back in. As long as he held still, he had hope. When he regained enough control to continue without blowing on the spot, he pulled back and slammed in. She was perfect, so exciting in her moans and the way she tilted her pelvis up for him. He began to fuck her, really fuck her, and she took it. Each thrust made his balls bang against her and pleasure ricocheted through his body, starting at his cock and spreading out in waves of sensation.
Brandon felt sweat drip down his back as he thrust deeper and deeper, feeling a flowing connection between them that was hard to put into words. He couldn’t seem to get close enough to her.
He heard a cry and looked up to watch Tyler come into Laura’s mouth. Their greedy little girl swallowed him down and finally drew back to look over her shoulder again at him.
She smiled and turned away, dropping down onto the bed and reaching back to him.
She linked their fingers together and Brandon felt a jolt of electricity, like the closing link of a circuit falling into place.
Laura fell onto her belly and tilted her hips up, crying out as he continued to fuck her until she screamed again.
“I’m going to cum again. Oh God!”
Her pussy clenched down on him and he rode through the waves until his own ocean crashed down upon him. He pulled out just in time, pressing the head of his cock to the base of her spine and cumming all over her creamy skin in hot spurts that made his eyes roll back in his head.
“Oh. My. God.”
Exhaustion was sweeping over him at a rate of knots. He could barely stay upright as he swayed on his knees. Tyler was already laying down next to Laura, whispering to her, loving her.
Brandon staggered to the bathroom, toweled his sweating face, wet a washcloth for his lover, and made it back to their bed. He wiped Laura down and threw the square of material back toward the bathroom.
