Red Hot Valentine: Falling for Cupid (8 page)

DESI

It’d been a week since I first scented her.
It’d been a week of torture with a wolf that refused to stop
growling and a cock that wouldn’t go down. The urge to break into
her apartment and demand her surrender as my dick drove in and out
of her tight pussy was unbearable. I’d barely maintained control of
myself, let alone the entire pack. They didn’t think I had noticed
their avoidance of me or the skittishness of my beta, Mark. They
read their alpha well; I was grouchy, in a perpetual state of
horniness, only minimally out ranking my wolf. I’d avoided shifting
all week in fear of my wolf seeking her out against my will. And
once it found her, I had no hope of stopping it from taking her…
with or without her consent.

“
Why don’t you introduce
yourself?” Mark asked, stepping into my living room. He plopped
down on the loveseat. He tried to act casual, but his body language
revealed his uneasiness. “You own her building after all,” he
added, averting his eyes when I continued to glare at
him.

“
I can’t be nice right
now.” The words were delivered through gritted teeth; the deep pull
in my groin ached just at the mention of her.

He took a deep breath, running his hand
through his sandy blonde hair; his honey eyes seemed to widen
marginally, enough to clue me in on his concern.

I sat up, setting my beer on the coffee
table. I slid along the cold leather of the sofa, willing the
frigid fabric to affect my dick. No such luck.

I leaned my elbows on my knees and bent
closer to my beta. Mark’s gaze met mine, knowing it was going to be
important if his alpha lifted off the couch for the first time
today other than to get another beer. “I’ve jerked off ten times in
the last two days, and not once has my cock laid limp afterwards.
There’s a constant fire in my balls that only she can put out. If
that wasn’t bad enough, my wolf is damn near shredding my insides
trying to claw its way out so he can run and claim her. It’s been
hell trying to rein him in when our mate is less than a block away,
a dessert teasing us with her delicious scent all day and night.
You compound those on top of dealing with maintenance issues for
all our investment buildings, accounting questions, pack concerns
and every other fucking load of crap anyone wants to drop on my
door step and you can see why I can’t be a nice person right
now.”

I snatched the beer off the coffee table and
chugged the rest of what was in the bottle. I wished I could drown
my wolf, stop the incessant clawing between mewls that mimicked a
damn pussy; he was trying everything he could, hell bent on
breaking me down and forcing my body to surrender to the
change.

Mark watched me closely, considering me. He
was a man who usually thought before he spoke, so this was nothing
new. Abruptly he stood. “Eventually you’re going to cave. Either
you get close to her now while you’re still thinking somewhat
coherently, or you get close to her as a wild beast who, regardless
of whether you claim her or not, will certainly chase her off.”

With his blunt blow to my gut delivered, Mark
left.

I scrubbed my face. I knew
he was right.
Damn it.
Why did fate have to mate me with a human? If it were another
werewolf, I would have claimed her already. I would have thrown her
on her stomach and demanded her surrender as I pounded into her
sweet pussy the moment I smelled her as mine. As a human, I had to
worry about my speed, my force and my strength with her. As a
human, I had to take care to not break any of her tiny bones as I
thrashed my burly body against hers. I was fucked if she had an
underweight model’s frame.

Shit.
I couldn’t take it any longer. I had to know. I had to at
least see who the stars had matched me with.

QUARTERBACK SNEAK by Desiree Holt

Stacy Halligan has spent her adult life
focusing on her career, choosing men with far less care than she
does her professional path. That’s probably the reason all of her
relationships end in disaster. Now she’s senior editor of the
magazine where she works and she was so sure this latest hunk would
be the one. When he dumps her, just before Valentine’s Day, who
does she complain to, as always, but her next door neighbor and
friend, backup quarterback Max Sullivan. She sees Max as her best
friend. Comfortable. Easy to be with.

Max doesn’t mind hanging out with Stacy but
in the three years they’ve lived next door to each other he’s hoped
for a lot more. Now he sees his opening. When he offers to put on a
blitz leading up to Valentine’s Day to make the guy jealous, he has
an ulterior motive. He wants to show her he’s the one she should
pick, because he wants Stacy for himself. His campaign includes,
chocolate, flowers, little gifts and hopefully, really hot sex.
Because he’d been dying forever to get her into his bed and keep
her there.

Will this work? He only has until Valentine’s
Day to find out.

SWEET SIZZLE by Jodi Redford

Valentine’s Day—the bane of Rory Sinclair’s
existence. Hard to forgive the one holiday responsible for the
single most moronic decision of her life. If it was up to her,
she’d skip anything to do with cupid, but with her business partner
home sick with the flu, she’s stuck delivering a bunch of cookie
bouquets to a local firehouse. Who knows, maybe she’ll cure her
Valentine’s Day neurosis and heat up the mattress with a hunky
firefighter. Her plan of donning some edible undies and getting her
freak on goes up in flames though the instant she steps through the
doors of Station 5 and spots Bennet Jackson—the man responsible for
her decade long Valentine’s Day boycott.

No matter how hard he’s tried, Ben has never
gotten over the innocent girl he foolishly let slip between his
fingers. When Rory unexpectedly crashes back into his world, he
figures it’s his only shot at righting the wrongs of his past and
getting her back in his bed and his life. For good. Unfortunately,
she has other plans. Ones that don’t include him. He’s well aware
that she has every reason to despise him, but if there’s one thing
he’s up for, it’s a challenge. Because there’s no way in hell he’s
losing the woman of his dreams again. And this time he’s prepared
to pull out every dirty, sexy, and hotter-than-sin trick to
convince her to stay.
