The Alpha's Taboo Mate (Blood Moon Lynx Book 1) Read Online Free Page B

back as much as possible, but had to release her mouth as his fangs came out. He was so fearful of harming her.
    “Canyon…” Her voice came out in a breathy whisper, dripping with need and awe. “I never knew it would be like this.”
    “Neither did I, love.” He grazed her neck with his teeth, dying for a taste. But not yet. This wasn’t the right time to mark her. It had to be done after he was inside. He had to slow down and hold it together for little while longer.
    To help get his emotions under control, Canyon released her body. “I want to see you naked.”
    Right. That’ll help you keep your lust in check.
    As she started to pull off her top, he caught her wrists in one hand. One hand that had already begun to shift into a paw. She gasped, but it wasn’t from fear or revulsion. The look in her eyes made his dick hurt so badly he could barely stand it. He’d never seen any woman this aroused. It made him feel powerful, like he could do anything.
    “Let me do it.” Canyon released her wrists, then poised his hands over her breasts. Her shoulders move up and down as she breathed. He swore he could hear the very pores in her skin opening and closing. He’d never been so hyper aware of another living creature. If that alone didn’t prove this woman was his mate, nothing did.
    “I’m not going to hurt you, Fiera.” He laid his hands on top of the fabric, holding her gaze as she made tiny noises in the back of her throat.
    “I know that.”
    The trust she’d placed in him struck him suddenly. After everything she’d just told him, convinced that the Medina family would hurt her, her father, and his family if this happened, she still stood before him, willing and ready to mate with him. Only a woman who truly loved him, and recognized him as her mate, would do this. The fact that she hadn’t told him right away was now officially gone from his mind for good.
    A deep growl rose up as Canyon placed his hands on her breasts. He couldn’t help it. Sweat broke out along his hairline with the effort not to shift. Fiera closed her eyes and tipped her head back, as if offering her throat to him. He couldn’t imagine hanging on until he put his dick inside her. He was already losing what little control he still had.
    She moved closer, pushing his hands against her breasts until he grabbed them and kneaded them in hands that to him looked like shifted lynx paws. If she noticed it, too, she didn’t seem to care. She waved her head back and forth slowly, moaning the entire time. Her hands came up and grasped his arms, clutching them tightly.
    “Canyon, this is exquisite.”
    “Yes.” He cleared his throat. “Yes, it is.” He couldn’t take any more. He had to have her right fucking now .
    ****
    As Canyon released her breasts and pulled off her top, Fiera gasped. She never wore a bra. Hated the damn things. He stared at her naked chest as though mesmerized, and she had to bite her lip not to laugh. Men were obsessed with the silliest things. But the awe on his face made her feel like the most beautiful woman on the planet. It gave her a sense of strength, like she was the one who held the upper hand here, even though he was the alpha in the room.
    When he cleared his throat again, she wanted to tell him not to worry about the sounds he made. She could see he was partially shifted. The rough, growling voice came with it, and she loved it.
    “Take off your pants and shoes. I need to see the rest of you.”
    “When do I get to see you naked?”
    “Oh, Fiera. I’m dying here.” He was. She could hear it in his tone, and see it in his eyes.
    “This is very hard for me, too.”
    “Really?” He looked at her as if she’d just told him the sky was pink with green polka dots. “You don’t look it. You’re so calm and cool.”
    “I’m not.” She shook her head. “Not even close.”
    “I’m glad to hear that, but I hope you’re not afraid.”
    When Fiera placed her hands on his face, she was seized
