Panther Magic Read Online Free

of excitement were something else, and
Kate grinned when they singled out Natasha to come on stage and join them. True
to form, her friend almost fell when she negotiated the last steps up, and Kate
watched in horror as she stumbled. She needn’t have worried however, because
Arran and Zeb were there in a flash to steady her, and the whole theater
erupted into good-natured laughter, when they insisted that Tash remove her
shoes.
    “ We want to saw you in half, my dear, not take off
your ankle, after all.”
    That whole act should have been
cheesy, but somehow it wasn’t, and when they made Tash disappear in a flash of
light, Kate shot to her feet with everyone else to applaud loudly. So far so
good, but the panthers were next. She knew they always kept them to the end of
their show as their big finale, and she barely suppressed a scream when Arran
materialized right next to her in another big puff of smoke, and dramatic
music.
    He winked at her, and then
addressed the rest of the theatre with great flourish.
    “ Who here is ready to call on the magic panthers? We
need a beautiful woman to coax them out, and I do believe I have just found
her.”
    Kate’s immediate protest died on
her tongue, when Arran chose that moment to place his large hand on her nape.
Heat scorched her skin, and her body responded instantly as Arran pulled her
closer into his body. He let his fingertips trail down the row of piercings tracing
her spine, and a faint rumble rose from his chest. It reminded Kate of the
deep, content purr of a cat, which should have sounded ridiculous even in her
head, but somehow was sexy as hell.
    He dipped his head and inhaled
next to her ear, and the crowded theater faded into the background as she fell
back under his spell. Maybe he was using some sort of strange magic on her. It
certainly wasn’t normal the way she literally turned to putty in his hands just
by being this close to him.
    Arran continued the downward
journey of his fingertips, until the fabric of her dress stopped him. She’d
chosen this dress specifically for its scalloped neckline that left her back
exposed. With her hair tied up in a messy up-do it left acres of skin exposed,
and showed of her back piercings. They were a relatively new addition, and she
liked showing them off. Arran pulled her closer still with one heavy hand
resting just on the small of her back, so close that she could feel his stiff
cock digging into her belly.
    Kate sucked in a breath, as her
body responded instantly to the certain knowledge that he was as affected by
her presence as she was by his, and she squeezed her thighs together to relieve
some of the delicious ache in her clit. Already her thong was getting damp with
her arousal, and the lacy scrap of fabric would soon provide no protection at
all. She ought to be mortified by this, especially as Arran and Zeb seemed
determined to drag her on stage.
    She was dimly aware of Zeb
talking on stage and the audience responding to him, but every cell in her body
was too focused on Arran right now.
    “ Beautiful.” He whispered the word into her ear, and
let his hand trail lower briefly, until he could squeeze one of her butt
cheeks. “Tell me, sweet thing, have you got any piercings in more intimate
areas, perhaps?”
    His voice had taken on a
distinctive growl, and Kate whimpered and grasped the lapels of his tux jacket
to steady herself as red hot arousal coursed through
her veins. That voice alone did things to her, and then there was his delicious
scent. It seemed to be getting stronger, or maybe that was just her lust-fueled
brain’s imagination, and she shook her head, not trusting her voice to work
right now.
    “ Shame, that would be
fucking hot.” A shiver went down her spine as he released her and held out his
hand as the music on stage reached dramatic levels. “Let’s finish this show.
Close your eyes for this bit, pet.”
    Artificial smoke covered them
both, and Kate dutifully shut her eyes. It seemed as
