surroundings.”
“Must have been a bitch having visions like that for so long.” She didn’t smell too
sympathetic.
Kane grunted. She didn’t know the half of it and never would. The hell he went through
prior to finding her no longer mattered. “This is the bed we were on. I recognize the
bedspread.”
Jin glanced down at the patchwork comforter spread over the bed. “My mother made this
when I was a cub. I saved it secretly for many years. When I brought my sire here, he
never commented on me still having it. I think he was gone from his body long before his
body gave out on him.”
“If you need mourning time, I understand.”
She dragged her nails over his shoulders, focusing on his body and not answering at first.
When she finally raised her attention to his face, her pale green eyes glowed like rare
jewels.
“I don’t need time to mourn,” she said, her soft voice as alluring as her scent. “If it’s
dishonorable to say I feel a great burden lifted from my shoulders, then so be it. But I
mourned the loss of a sire who would love and cherish his cub many years ago.”
He wouldn’t apologize for her lack of a decent sire. Jin had found peace and that was
what she’d set out to do when she ran to Kenora.
“I imagined hunting you down after taking care of matters with my sire,” she whispered,
leaning into him and nipping his jaw.
Kane growled, grabbing her wrists and then pushing her back onto the bed. “You would
hunt me, little cat?”
She twisted against his grasp, straightening her legs while offering one hell of a mouth-
watering view of her breasts with her shirt stretched over her full, round curves. “There
would have been no saving any female who dared sniff around you while I was gone.”
“You would hunt and kill for me.” His need for her swelled inside him along with pride
to have a female who cared for him as much as Jin did. “The smell of your love is like a
drug, little cat.”
“I can smell it on you,” she growled, fighting his hold on her and then lifting her head
and shoulders off the bed when she couldn’t free her hands. She didn’t succeed in trying
to nip at him again.
When Kane released her hands, she reached for him, dragging her nails down his bare
shoulders. He undid her jeans, managing to yank them down her hips before she tugged
at his jeans button, her knuckles pressing into his stomach as her hands twisted between
them. The next few minutes were a battle of clothing, both of them growling and
struggling to undress the other. Her shirt and both of their jeans were tossed to the floor,
discarded without a thought, until their naked bodies pressed together.
Kane gripped her breasts, pushing her flat against the bed while squeezing and tugging
on the soft flesh. Her nipples hardened between his fingers, calling to him until he could
no longer enjoy the view and had to pounce on them, sucking first one and then the other
into his mouth.
Jin dragged her nails through his hair, growling her satisfaction while filling the air
around them with a fragrance sweet as honey and rich as chocolate. She arched
underneath him, continuing to move her fingers as she explored his body and stroked his
flesh.
He was harder than steel, his balls tight and swollen with need so intense it made it
impossible to think. When he scraped his teeth over her puckered flesh, her nipples grew
in his mouth, lengthening and torturing him even further with their perfect shape as well
as the round swell of her breasts.
“Kane, shit!” Jin jerked underneath him.
“Your nipples are sensitive.”
“You’d do well to remember that,” she hissed.
“Trust me, my little cat, I’ll never forget.” He smiled with his face in her breasts when
she growled a warning.
“There are ways to torture you as well, male,” she warned him, and reached between
them, wrapping her fingers around the thickness of his shaft.
The room tilted while all blood drained from his brain. Her small fingers tugged and
stroked, but when she cupped his balls, tantalizing the overly sensitive flesh, he hissed
loudly, feeling the pressure build to a boiling point.
“You have something I want,” she growled, her pale blue eyes laced with silver as she
stared at him under thick, long lashes. “And I want it now.”
“You’ll get it. I would never deny you that.” He began nipping at her flesh, moving his
way down until he dipped his tongue into her bellybutton.
Jin bounced off the bed, lashing her nails down his back. The sting was worth it though
when he grabbed her thighs, spreading her open and breathing in the incredible rich
aroma of his mate.
“You’re soaked, little cat.”
“Now!” she growled, digging her grip into his shoulders.
He wouldn’t ask her to define what it was she wanted right now. As much as she led him
to believe she needed him inside her, her hands pressed against him, pushing him lower.
Kane slid off the bed, kneeling at the edge of it and pulling her to the edge. When he
dipped his tongue inside her and filled his mouth with her rich cream, something
unleashed inside him. The pressure inside him pushed dangerously close to the edge
while his heart started racing. He was a mad leopard, starved for the taste of his mate, and
the more he devoured her, lapping and stroking her smooth, soaked flesh, the more she
offered him.
Her breath came quickly, causing her flat belly to rise and fall at a rapid pace while with
every twitch, every jerk of her body, her full, swollen breasts jiggled, a feast of their own.
Jin offered everything he needed to be whole. Every inch of her perfect body, regardless
of her past, now belonged to him. To cherish, adore and love and honor until death.
When he rose over her, unable to restrain his needs any longer, she reached for him, her
eyes glowing with love and lust.
“Take me, Kane,” she hissed, her teeth clamped together as she used her own level of
restraint. “Bond with me forever.”
He sunk deep into her heat, unable to speak but instead obeyed his mate. It wouldn’t
always be like this. Kane wasn’t a fool. There would be times when they challenged each
other, fought ruthlessly. But overall, their love was strong enough to overcome all of their
imperfections. He smelled it, tasted it and drowned in it as he took her with all he offered.
“My mate,” he growled, impaling her, unable to hold back.
As much power as he unleashed, Jin took all he had, panting as her lips parted and she
grinned up at him. “My mate,” she agreed.
As it was in his visions, and would always be. What was revealed to him was now real.
And it was just the beginning. They had the rest of their lives to enjoy every vision
played out for him. It was a blessing. Jin Pard, now Jin Masters, had honored him and
made him the luckiest male alive.
He fell asleep with her tucked in his arms, and as he drifted into a comfortable world of
dreams, he swore he heard Jin singing, her soft voice soothing and peaceful.
In the mountains, the snow-capped mountains, my true love waits me there.
There is no other. I’ll attack another because my true love waits me there.
When I come to you, I know you’ll fight for me.
My true love you’ll always be.
About the Author
All my life, I’ve wondered at how people fall into the routines of life. The paths we
travel seemed to be well-trodden by society. We go to school, fall in love, find a line of
work (and hope and pray it is one we like), have children and do our best to mold them
into good people who will travel the same path. This is the path so commonly referred to
as the “real world”.
The characters in my books are destined to stray down a different path other than the one
society suggests. Each story leads the reader into a world altered slightly from the one
they know. For me, this is what good fiction is about, an opportunity to escape from the
daily grind and wander down someone else’s path.
