her up
against his warm, hard chest, and she melted. It had been a long
time since a man had touched her and she’d forgotten what it felt
like, what a man smelled like. It was nice. Especially since for
all the force and brawn that Kaiden possessed, he was gentle.
    His warm mouth
slanted over hers, lips working
her lips, slowly sipping and tasting her. The action tightened her
stomach, made it flutter, and affected areas of her body just
south. She drew her hands up from his wrists, over the bulges of
his arms, all the way to his broad shoulders and rested
there.
    Ecstasy . Unreserved and complete.
    His hands trailed down to the small of her
back and pressed, making her body arch into his. She gasped into
his mouth at the gentle, commanding force of it and her knees went
weak. God, what would this man be like in bed? She couldn’t help
but fantasize that he would show her right now if she desired
it.
    She liked this way too much. Way too
much. She shouldn’t even
be kissing him. She barely knew him!
    The kiss grew deeper, banishing all those
annoying thoughts.
    His lips slid across her mouth like silk,
rubbing sensually. He nipped at her bottom lip and gave it a slow
lick, then pulled it into his hot mouth. With a sexy little growl
in his throat, he enveloped her in his arms, tilted his head to the
side and slanted his mouth over hers. His tongue feathered across
her lips and she opened for him. He swept inside.
    Oh…hell, she was done for.
    The man could kiss. There was no doubt about
it. He tasted like coffee and smelled like soap, clean and manly.
His stubble rubbed her soft skin. She noted the sensation, but
hardly minded it.
    She couldn’t think !
    His tongue rubbed up against hers and his
lips worked over her mouth, tasting, nipping, devouring. The room
fell away. The whole world, whichever one this was, just
disappeared. She floated among the stars. He caught her lower lip
between his teeth and tugged gently. Then he slanted his mouth
across hers once more and plundered again.
    Finally he set her away from him. Her knees
felt weak. Her lips were swollen and achy. Her mouth felt empty.
She staggered back and blearily opened her eyes. She’d never been
kissed like that before in her life. She should be angry. Too bad
she only wanted more.
    But he was gone and the door was closed.

    “ So, wait, let me get this straight. The
Magica bio-engineered Jarek and Kaiden?” Paige was sitting in the front yard with
her sister, trying to get a handle on the moment.
    “ Well, no, not Jarek and Kaiden
specifically. They bio-engineered the Lycaon race millions of years
ago. The Magica never expected for the Lycaon to be able to
procreate and produce offspring, but they were able to do that. The
original Lycaon were dire wolves and many remain so, like Jarek and
Kaiden.”
    “Dire wolves,”
Paige echoed, touching her aching head. The crystal bracelet that
had been Kaitlyn’s birthday gift winked in the afternoon sun as her
sister gestured as she spoke, trying to get Paige to understand.
Kaitlyn had found the box in the grass yesterday, after Paige had
fainted.
    She kind of
felt like fainting again now.
    Rafian and
Lucas had arrived that morning beside Kaitlyn. Paige had almost
swallowed her tongue looking at the four men in the kitchen
together. They were like Greek Gods made real. All the men had gone
for a run—in dire wolf form, she imagined—while Kaitlyn explained
all of this to her. She wasn’t ready to see Jarek and Kaiden—or
anyone, for that matter—turn into a werewolf yet.
    Paige held up a hand.
“Okay, let me see if I understand. The Magica once lived over
there, in our reality. Millions of years ago, they created the
Lycaon to be soldiers and protectors, but then lost control of them
because the free will of the Lycaon proved too strong. A long and
terrible war broke out, one that still rages even today, millions
of years later. Initially that war lay to waste all
