A Wolf's Desire (A BBW Paranormal Romance): The Holiday Ball (8 page)

Ethan Scott was reluctant to claim his mate, Lily Reynolds. He was afraid his carnal needs would be too much for the curvy innocent. His wolf was of another mind, pushing the man relentlessly to mate. But Ethan knew once he had the brown-haired beauty there would no turning back. He’d claim her, mate her, and bred her. When she’s attacked by a group of rogue wolves, Ethan fears he has left his claiming too late and will lose his mate forever. When he comes to her rescue, he discovers the spirited Lily is more than ready to be the mate of an alpha.

Lily Reynolds has been crushing on her boss since she started work at Wolfe Enterprises six months ago. She knew the chances of attracting the wolf into a long-term relationship were slim to none–slim being a state she hadn’t achieved since childhood. She loved her curves and knew there was someone out there who would love every soft, luscious inch of her voluptuous body. Heartbroken, she knew Ethan Scott wasn’t that man despite the hot and cold signals the wolf shifter had been given her for months.

EXCERPT:

“Come in, Lily.”

“Do you have those contracts ready for me to finish, sir?” She stood by the door, her hands clasped in front of her.

While he had every intention of making her call him sir in the bedroom–mainly when he had her tied to his bed or spanking her luscious ass–he didn’t want her to do so in the office.

Oh, really?
If his wolf had had eyebrows, they would have risen in disbelief. They both knew one of the first things they planned to do after they claimed her was bend her over his desk and fuck her while she screamed,
harder, sir; faster sir
.

His cock, which had been half-hard since she’d walked through the door, sprung to life so fast, he actually felt faint for a moment as all the blood in his body rushed south. His wolf snickered.

“Ethan,” he said with firm determination, wanting to hear his name on her lips. “I told you to call me Ethan.”

She drew in a deep breath, which lifted her breasts into prominence, and both the man and the wolf whimpered.

“Ethan.” Her voice was shy and breathless and he almost came in his pants.

He reached to the side of his desk and handed her a folder. “Here are the contracts. If you could have them done before you set up for the meeting, I’d appreciate it.”

A departmental lunch meeting had been scheduled in the large conference room next to his office suite. What he really wanted to do was call the meeting off, claim Lily and take her again and again until they were both raw from fucking.

Then he wanted to do it all over again.

The only thing standing in his way? Lily Reynolds. In his mate, he sensed a reserve. There was a wariness within the depths of her pretty, brown eyes that spoke of something, he suspected, that had to do with a man. It made him angry to think anyone had ever hurt his mate. But knowing he’d have to overcome her natural resistance
and
some asshole’s past behavior was a challenge.

A challenge he was closer and closer to taking on.
