Brannon stepped out onto his front porch and leaned against the railing, watching Kasey fumble with her keys. He heard her tell her friends goodbye and couldn’t help himself but to come out to drink in the sight of her. Curvy goddess. That’s what she was.

The smell of alcohol drifted on the air, tingling his nose. He suppressed a growl and descended the stairs. There was no way in hell he’d let her drive home.

She dropped her keys and let out a curse. His lips curved up in amusement. Her long black hair draped over her shoulders as she bent down to retrieve her keys. He followed the movement with his eyes, suddenly envious of the black strands caressing her skin. Tingles of awareness raced over his skin and made the wolf within pace.

He watched her a little longer, taking in every beautiful curve. The wolf growled in his head, trying to urge him closer, to touch her, smell her. He inhaled deeply, taking in her floral scent mixed with the wine she must’ve had with dinner. His cock hardened painfully behind the zipper of his jeans.

Mate.

He wasn’t surprised the wolf wanted to stake claim on her. The man wanted to as well.

When she straightened from picking up the keys, she must’ve noticed him standing a few feet behind her. She whirled around, her eyes going round while she put a hand to her throat. A spike of fear entered her scent, souring it, but it was gone almost as fast as it appeared.

“Oh, hi. I didn’t hear you coming up behind me.” She frowned and darted her gaze to her friend’s house then back to him.

He took another step toward her. “I didn’t mean to frighten you. I heard a noise and came out to investigate. Then I noticed you.” He paused, giving her a few seconds for his words to sink in. “Are you okay to drive? Would you like me to drive you home?”

She shook her head. “No, thank you. I’m fine, I only had two glasses of wine. It usually takes more than that to put me on my ass. Plus, it’s not that far of a drive.”

He didn’t care how much she had to drink. He didn’t like the idea of her driving even with a sip of wine. Or maybe he just didn’t like the idea of her leaving at all. His wolf yipped in his mind, telling him he agreed with the latter.

“Would you like to come in for some coffee? It’ll make me feel better.”

She darted her gaze back to the house she exited moments ago and nibbled her bottom lip. After a few moments of battling whatever debate was on her mind, she nodded. “Okay, just coffee, though.”

He held out his hand and almost groaned when she placed hers in his. A spark of need seeped into his skin and electrified his insides. The thoughts of seducing the dark-haired beauty into staying the night was too tempting.

What was she doing sitting in her best friend’s neighbor’s cabin which was more like a mansion? Coffee sounded good outside. Actually, the thought of being closer to Brannon was the real motivator. Glancing around, she took in the dark wood accents and the huge fireplace front and center. The whole living room was bigger than her apartment.

She lied to him when she told him she only had two glasses. It was more like three or four glasses. But who was counting? However, she felt fine and had driven with more alcohol in her system before.

Thinking about it, maybe she should be thankful Brannon stopped her.

After guiding her to the living room, he left to make coffee. Sexual excitement curled in her belly as she watched his hot as hell sculptured body disappear into the kitchen.

Damn, she wanted him like she wanted no other. A raw sexual desire rose within her every time she was near him or saw him. Maybe she needed to get it out of her system and find out if he felt the same way. What would he do if she kissed him?

Several minutes passed before he returned. He set a tray with two cups of the rich black liquid along with cream and sugar on the coffee table in front of her. A moment of bravado and insanity overtook her and she went for it. She leaned forward and pressed her lips to his. He responded instantly by kissing her back, deepening it.

A soft groan escaped her, and she was lost in a sea of pleasure. Her body heated all over and her pussy begged for his cock.

He leaned into her, pushing her to lie back on the sofa. When his tongue touched her lips, she opened, granting him entrance in her mouth. Her insides were on fire and all of the reasons of why she shouldn’t sleep with someone she barely knew went up with the flames racing through her veins.

Breaking the kiss, Brannon looked her in the eyes. “You sure about this?”

Hell, yes! She nodded, not trusting the words she might say. She wasn’t drunk, but she was comfortably buzzed enough that the brain-to-mouth filter didn’t work.

His gaze seemed to lighten right before he lowered his head to press a kiss on her throat. He trailed feather-like kisses over her collarbone while unbuttoning her blouse as he went. Before she knew it, he had her shirt open and her bra unfastened so he could free the girls. He cupped one breast, pinching the nipple between his fingers.

A burst of sensations exploded within her. An electrifying current flowed from his touch, feeding the building wildfire. “Brannon.”

The single word came out as a plea and she didn’t give a damn how needy it sounded. She wanted him, needed him.

He licked one of her nipples, then traced the bud with the tip of his tongue. Hot liquid desire pooled in her core, making her moan. Her panties dampened. Reaching up, she fisted his hair and began rocking her hips against him.

“That’s it. Let go.” He slipped his hand under her dress and up her thigh. Lifting his body from hers, he removed the panties. He sat up on his knees and peered down at her as he undid his jeans. “So beautiful.”

Reaching out, he teased her clit with his thumb while his other hand gripped his cock. Kasey arched off the sofa, drowning in desire as it flooded her senses.

He slid two fingers inside her. She gasped and her body jerked. She heard a chuckle from him before he said, “Come for me.”

Soft cries of pleasure escaped her throat as she rode his hand. Fuck. She’d never experienced anything like this before. Everywhere he touched her burned, but in a good way.

“That’s it. You like that.” His husky voice stirred the desire more as he finger fucked her.

“Yes,” she blurted in a breathy reply. A scream tore from her as an orgasmed slammed into her.

A soft growl rumbled from him, drawing her attention to his heated stare. Hunger lit up his gaze. Damn, he was hot.

He positioned his cock at her entrance and leaned forward. He nipped at her bottom lip as he pushed inside her, stretching her. She scored his back with her nails as pleasure raced through her veins and straight to her core, building.

He pumped his hips, slamming into her again and again. Each movement drawing him deeper inside her.

“Come for me again. You’re so beautiful when you come undone.”

His words were like a trigger as her climax tore through her. He followed her over the edge of drunken bliss and growled out as he orgasmed.
