Tailing Her Read Online Free

and sure and with all the grace of a feline. He didn’t pause in his approach until he stood less than a foot from her. She’d held her ground, refusing to give him even a centimeter or retreat the slightest bit. They were both strong lions in their own right, and she wasn’t about to back down.
    Brett lifted his hands, skimmed his fingertips up her arms, then across her collarbone before tracing the upper swells of her breasts. Jennifer couldn’t suppress the shiver of need that assaulted her or the sudden heating of her center, body already slicking and preparing itself for him.
    She craved him like her next breath and was shocked by her desperate need for her mate. She owed her best friend an apology. She’d teased Penelope over jumping right into bed with Marcus, and yet Jennifer was more than willing to find the nearest flat surface with her mate.
    Oh look, there’s a bed. Let’s use that.
    He continued teasing her with his touch, fingers never slowing as they glided over her skin. He skimmed the long line of her neck before finally sifting his fingers through her hair to cradle her skull. “There will be plenty of time for a bed… later.”
    It was only when a new flare of need filled his gaze that she realized she’d spoken the words aloud. At the prospect of not getting what she most desired, Jennifer’s lioness whimpered. It also had her cheeks heating with a furious blush as she fought to turn her head away from him but he held her fast.
    “No hiding. I like that you want me.” He stepped closer, and evidence of his arousal pressed against her lower stomach. “Because I sure as hell want you.” He lowered his head and treated her to a teasing kiss. “But first we need to deal with our current situation.”
    “Current situation?” she whispered, mind consumed with need for him. She couldn’t follow their conversation. Her brain sort of shorted out with his I sure as hell want you .
    Brett captured her lower lip between his teeth and nibbled the plump bit of flesh, gifting her with a little sting of pain that merely stoked her arousal. “You have to focus, baby. Once we figure out who came after you, and how to eliminate the threat, I’ll lay you out on my bed and mate you… Tie you to me so hard that you won’t ever think or look at another male.”
    “Yes…” she hissed. She wanted that, a lot of a lot of a lot.
    “Good.” He nibbled again. “Marcus filled me in a little. I know it’s the Colletti family that’s after you, but what do you have against Niccolo Colletti that makes you think you can put him away? Why have you taken on such a big human case and involved lions in a human problem?”
    Groaning, knowing she couldn’t lie to her mate just as she wasn’t able to lie to her alpha, Jennifer sighed. “It’s a lion problem because the human Colletti has a half-brother who is a lion. So, they are not just breaking human laws, they’re also breaking ours.” She huffed. “If I can’t fight the werelion Colletti because he hasn’t been caught breaking our laws, I can at least tweak his tail. Hence, the human court proceedings. I wouldn’t have taken such a high profile case otherwise. Marcus thinks—”

    A deafening roar leapt to Brett’s lips. “Marcus thinks?” He snarled for good measure. “Marcus thinks!” He took a deep breath but it did nothing to calm his anger. All it accomplished was bringing him more of Jennifer’s sweet scent. Pulling that into him both soothed and enraged his beast. “Exactly what did Marcus say about all this? And when did he make his opinions known? You’ve hardly been here a month and he’s been traveling with Penelope. You haven’t even been officially welcomed to the pride but Marcus is already involving you in…”
    He needed to cool off before he hunted down his brother and tore him to shreds for risking his mate.
    Jennifer frowned, and he fought the need to kiss away that expression. “We talked about it after I made the
