Desires of a full moon (Rise of the Arkansas Werewolves, #3)

She licked her dry lips.

His gaze dipped to her mouth. His nostrils flared.

She was in trouble. Deep dangerous trouble.

“Haley, you didn’t answer me.”

Her eyes lifted to meet his gaze. “Maybe because you didn’t ask me very nicely.”

Jayden stood, his large muscled frame making the kitchen seem small. A predatory smile crossed his lips. “Is that right?”

“Yeah.”

“I’m not a very nice guy.” His muscles rippled under that damn skin-tight T-shirt as he took a step toward her.

She eased off the stool, keeping her eyes on him.

Haley took a step back, her heart beating in her ears. She could smell his scent, ocean and male. She’d memorized that scent the first night he’d come to rescue her.

“Haley.” He advanced, but Haley took another step back.

“Are you afraid, little wolf?” His heavy-lidded gaze looked her up and down. He didn’t seem to care that he was being very obvious.

“I’m not afraid.” Haley took another step away, but her back pressed hard into the hallway wall. She glanced away. She was trapped.

“You can’t get away from me now.”

“I wasn’t trying to get away from you.” Her chest heaved against the thin cotton of her pajamas. Lust flooded her veins.

“Then what do you call it?” He leaned in, his breath tickling her cheek.

“I was teaching you to dance.” Her face heated a thousand degrees. “You said you didn’t dance. I was showing you. It’s just two people moving their bodies together.”

His gaze darkened. “I definitely like the sound of that.”She was in over her head. Hell, the water was up to her eyebrows.

“Although, I know a better way than dancing to move our bodies together.”

She went wet, her core throbbing at his promise of pleasure. She was going to explode if he didn’t touch her.

He bent his head, nuzzling the crook of her neck. She moaned, her eyes drifting closed.

“Tell me what you bought,” he whispered against the shell of her ear.

“Why?”

“Because my imagination is driving me crazy.”

She pressed her palms against the wall to keep from touching him.

“Guess.”

He laughed low and deep.

“Okay. Little wolf. I’ll play your game.” He brushed his lips across her bare shoulder where her top had slipped off.

“Did you buy something sexy to wear?”

“No.” Her heart raced as she leaned into him.

“Tell me. Don’t make me get nasty with you. I just might make you blush.”

“I doubt that.” Haley squeezed her thighs together, stilling the growing ache.

“Did you buy a dirty movie?”

Haley felt her face heat as Jayden nipped at her collarbone.

“Guess again.”

He groaned against her throat sending tiny shivers throughout her body. Her head lolled to the side, giving him full access.

“Tell me.” He cupped her cheek forcing her to meet his gaze. Looking into those aqua blue eyes was like truth serum.

“I bought a vibrator.”

His nostrils flared as a low growl rolled out.

His face was strained with lust and control, as if he were holding onto his last thread of restraint. She didn’t want him restrained. She wanted to see Jayden wild and out of control.

She leaned forward and brushed her lips across his whiskered cheek. “I bought a vibrator to get myself off. I was tired of people telling me no one else was going to touch me. So I decided to do it myself.”

His lips, hot and soft, crashed down across hers. His tongue sought out hers in a dangerous dance as he pulled her tight against his hard body.

She moaned and ran her hands up his chest and laced her fingers around his neck. Her nipples hardened as she arched against him. His fingers found the edge of her top and slid under, to stroke her back.

“Take your shirt off.” Jayden licked her neck. She arched against him, dizzy with lust.

“You do it. I don’t want to stop touching you.” Her fingers ran under his T-shirt and played with the deep muscled grooves of his abs.

He pulled away and gazed down at her. His fingers found the top button of her shirt and skillfully slid the button free. She watched his large hands, marveling at how good he was going to make her feel with those hands of his. When the last button was freed, Jayden looked at her, his hands gripping her waist.

“Let me see you Haley. Let me see those pretty nipples that have been driving me crazy since I saw you.”

Feeling more desirable than she had in a very long time, she slid her top off her shoulders, baring herself before Jayden.

Jayden moaned, his intense gaze glued to her breasts. His hands tightened on her waist. He was asking her permission to touch her. He was giving her control.

“Touch me,” Haley breathed out.

“Tell me how you want me to touch you.”She swallowed, her throat dry from gasping with desire every time he touched her.
