“No one fucks with the Lazos brothers.”

“Thank you," she said against his neck. For what?" For putting up with me." He chuckled against the top of her head. "As if I could live without you.”

“She said her pack died." "How?" "She didn't say." "And you didn't ask?" Thomas' gravelly voice was incredulous. "It's complicated." "I'll bet. You stink of sex. Is the reason you haven't asked because you haven't come up for air?”

“The man and wolf inside him experienced a surge of primal satisfaction. It had been so long since he'd let his guard down around anyone. After just one kiss, he was ready to bed her. That hadn't happened to him in...ever.”

“I wanted to throw you over my shoulder and take you back to my place the moment we met, your scent was that sexy.”

“He might be an alpha wolf but so was she. She didn't take well to orders, even if they were from her mate.”

“What are you doing?" she whispered. He wasn't sure why she was whispering, but he kept his voice just as low. "I want to taste you.”

“You're very quiet," she murmured. "That's because I'm the big bad wolf," he growled playfully.”

“His hands, which had been on her hips, suddenly grasped the slim strap of her panties and snapped the material apart. "You owe me another pair," she gasped. "Stop wearing them and it won't be a problem.”

“This was no figment of his imagination. This was flesh, blood and pure sin in a dress.”

“You're a machine," she murmured when he swept kisses across her jaw and over her cheek. "Only for you, sweetheart.”

“No way was she forcing Reece into a mating he didn't want. Wolves mated for life and it wouldn't be fair to either of them. And she wasn't ashamed to admit that she wanted love and a lasting partnership. She refused to settle for less.”

“After one kiss you're already looking to get rid of me?”

“If he wouldn't take charge of this, she would. "Take off your clothes.”

“Are you nervous?"... "A little." "Do you want to stop?" "No, just go slow." "I can do that." He could do any damn thing she asked of him.”

“Shifters didn't share when it came to their mate.”

“You're mine, Nissa." The words were guttural, strained. She knew it. Deep inside her core the truth was there.”

“A dark-haired man with electric-blue eyes hadn't taken his eyes off Caro since she'd sat down. He watched her like, well, a predatory wolf watched his mate. Caro glanced over her shoulder and when she turned to face Nissa her expression was dark. "Uh oh. "I'm sorry. Is mate the wrong word? I'm still not sure of all the correct --" She shook her head and placed a gentle hand on hers. "I'm sorry, it's not that. No, he's not my mate. He's a very persistent... Never mind. I'm actually unmated.”

“Tingles traced up her spine, and even before she turned around she knew Reece was moving her way. That shouldn't excite her so much, but after his visit this morning he was all she'd been able to think about. Obsess about. Her nipples beaded tightly against her bra as his earthy, masculine scent grew stronger, invading all her senses. Damn that male”

“I don't know what this nice guy routine is, but I know who you are and why you're here so if you think you can seduce me for whatever reason, you're out of your mind. And you better not think you can try that crap with Shea, I will claw you to ribbons." His emerald eyes darkened until they were practically black. He leaned closer until he was inches from her ear. She tried to ignore his earthy scent but found it impossible with his hot breath against her neck. "I do want to fuck you, long and hard, but not for any other reason that I want you. For the record, I haven't been with a woman - wolf or human - in over two decades.”
