woman he’d just kissed. The tiger and jaguar he housed shared in its
displeasure too. They wanted Josh’s blood spilling over their tongue, a brutal
response, but one he was accustomed to. The laws of the animal world didn’t
always mesh with the human world. He was left as the liaison, ensuring both
were met when possible. But tonight he couldn’t give them what they wanted.
    Josh had done nothing to deserve death, unless stubbornness
counted. Although Rafe hadn’t come right out and told him the truth, he’d
hinted at the fact that Megan was different, not quite normal. Josh had gone on
to deliver a string of curses involving his foot and ass. Amusing, but not the
most productive conversation he’d ever had.
    Josh had agreed to meet him though. It was the best Rafe
would get unless he was willing to swoop in and take Megan from him by force,
which he had considered, despite Kade’s insistence they not rip Megan from her
family. Kade feared it’d be too traumatic. He wanted to assess the situation.
Rafe wasn’t so sure he agreed. Humans didn’t belong in their world. It was too
dangerous but the protectiveness Josh had shown toward the girl impressed him.
Intrigued him, frankly. For the moment, with Devin watching the house, she was
safe and they’d intervene if necessary.
    Josh bent to kiss Jasmine and all three predators slammed
into him. Claws raked his insides. He swallowed a groan. He might be immortal
but being torn apart from the inside wasn’t a pleasant feeling. He snapped his
teeth together and pushed against their forceful wills. One by one they abated,
but he got the impression it wouldn’t take much to stir them to action.
    Their reaction to the woman surprised him. Yes, she was
beautiful, tasted of a rich, sweet wine and had the body of a goddess. But she
smelled of another feline, a turnoff for most males. Not for him. He’d scented
her the moment she’d walked in the bar and when she’d stood on the chair and
waved her arms so her lush breasts swayed, he’d had to keep his head averted to
hide the emergence of his cats.
    His vision had sharpened, the distracting vibrant hues faded
to variations of gray and the darkened room brightened. From experience, he
knew his eyes would’ve been feline—completely honey-gold, no white—and not ones
humans should see, especially the delectable Jasmine. She’d recognize them for
what they were.
    Rafe waited for Josh to leave then stepped behind Jasmine
and slipped an arm around her waist, locking her to him. She molded against him,
softness to hardness, and was short enough to tuck under his arm. She leaned
into his embrace as if she’d done so for a lifetime, head tipped back to rest
against his chest. The easy way she accepted him pushed him to take more. With
a palm on her hip, he tugged her closer, pressed his engorged shaft to her
body. She stiffened and spun, blonde hair very similar in shade to his whipping
with the move. Wide-eyed, she stared at him. He loosened his grip but didn’t
release her.
    Gods, she was beautiful. Gray eyes, dilated at the moment, a
few freckles on the tip of a slightly crooked nose and a mouth made for
kissing. Her rounded face with its finely sloped forehead lent her an angelic
quality, but the desire stamped on it ensured she’d be the wicked kind of angel,
given the proper encouragement. And he had every confidence in his ability to
bring out the vixen hidden behind her sweet exterior.
    He thought about all the ways he could urge the siren out
and a grin spread. Oh the unveiling would be fun.
    She shoved at his chest, didn’t move him, and huffed. “Let
go, buddy. We’re done.”
    Her husky voice wrapped around him and the bite of
irritation in it appealed to him as well. He enjoyed feisty females—in bed and
out.
    “But you didn’t answer me,” he replied, enjoying the
confusion making her brows scrunch. Tiny crinkles appeared by the corner of her
almond-shaped eyes. He liked how they looked
