Momma's Got a Brand New Jag: BBW Shifter Romance (Seaside Shifters Book 1) Read Online Free

He’d been staring at Rina ever since he put his bag away, but aisle guy immediately hopped up to make room for him to pass, and Rina followed suit.
    “Thanks,” he said as he brushed past her. Rina was acutely aware of her desire for him as his hard body just barely swept her breasts and thighs. She waited for him to settle into his seat, then took her seat again, buckling in when she sat down. She barely noticed aisle guy resuming his seat next to her.
    Hot guy buckled his seatbelt after extending the clasp, and turned to her, extending his hand. “Hi. I’m Joven McCready.”
    Rina had been playing it cool, fidgeting with a ring on her finger as she pretended like the hottest guy she’d ever seen wasn’t sitting right next to her.
    She smiled and shook his hand. “Rina.”
    “It’s nice to meet you,” he said. “Do you mind if I raise this up?” He pointed at the armrest between them.
    Hell no I don’t! Rina thought to herself, but aloud she said, “Oh no, not at all,” with a smile. He thanked her and lifted up the armrest. Holy shit. Now their bodies were touching, and she couldn’t believe how good just that little amount of bodily contact felt. Maybe she just needed to get laid. It was more than that though. After all, she’d seen plenty of attractive men coming and going in the airport. She was definitely attracted to him specifically.
    Joven shifted uncomfortably next to her and she hoped it wasn’t because she was crowding his space. Jeremy had always hated lifting up the armrests between them on flights and at the movies, saying she crowded him too much. She ran her palms along her thighs, attempting to smooth out the soft fabric where her black palazzo pants had bunched up.
    “So, are you headed home?” Rina sought to distract herself with conversation. Maybe he’d say he was married or something, although she didn’t see a ring. He probably has a girlfriend , she thought. There was no way a guy this hot was unattached. Then she could be disappointed but stop fantasizing about joining the mile high club with him. If she knew he was taken, her brain could override her hormones. Maybe.
    Joven nodded. “Yeah, I’ve been away for business for a few weeks, but I’m headed home now. What about you?”
    Rina shook her head as Joven watched her shiny ponytail swing from side to side. “I’m actually going on vacation with my girlfriends,” she said. “I know it probably sounds crazy, but I won a contest and so we’re going to stay at the beach for a week.”
    “A contest, huh?” Joven said. “You must be lucky.”
    Rina giggled. “I don’t know about that,” she said. “My boyfriend broke up with me right before I won,” she said with a wry grin. She hoped that wouldn’t sound weird or psycho, but it was how things had happened and she wasn’t one to sugarcoat things. Plus she wanted Joven to know that she was single. Maybe he’d follow suit and let her know about his status, too.
    “He’s a fucking idiot,” Joven growled and Rina blushed.
    “Thanks,” she said awkwardly. She wasn’t sure where to go with the conversation from here. She didn’t want to talk more about Jeremy, but she didn’t want to look too desperate asking Joven if he was in a relationship or not. The overhead intercom went off just then.
    “Cross check complete. Flight attendants please prepare the cabin for departure.” The flight attendants began going through the procedures listed on the back of the safety card in the back pocket of the seat in front of her as the plane began taxiing to the runway.
    She yawned, then blinked, startled. “Excuse me,” she said. Joven just smiled at her. Rina had taken some Dramamine when she’d gotten to the airport. She hadn’t gotten sick while traveling since she was a kid, but she hadn’t wanted to take any chances. It was sort of a superstition at this point. Now she wished she’d skipped it. She hadn’t realized she was so sleepy. The flight attendants
