Free A New Haven Christmas by Angelique Voisen Page A

desperate, and horny enough to mate him.
    Pete silently ticked off his
competitors. He didn’t have to worry about the females in the pack because
Fabio swung solely for the all-star male team, and most of the males in the
pack were mated. For once, Pete actually stood a chance and he wasn’t about to
screw it up.
    “I guess the only way to make the situation bearable is to
join the party, eh? Shall we continue this conversation to a more private area,
Pete?”
    Pete stared at Fabio, unsure if he
heard his words correctly. Their conversation had meandered to meaningless
fluff. From a basketball team Pete had
never heard about, to complaints about the other wolves always camping at the
local grocer’s heath food section. Had Pete missed something important?
    “What?” Pete asked dumbly, suddenly
aware of how close the other man was and how Fabio’s dark eyes were solely
trained on him.
    “I think you heard what I said,
Pete.” Fabio’s voice was low, rough, and uncommonly serious.
    Pete always saw Fabio as someone
who didn’t take things seriously. Fabio always seemed to be laughing with the
other more powerful wolves of the pack, as if he could never run out of things
to joke about. Fabio certainly wasn’t laughing now and the sheer intensity of
his gaze scared Pete a little. A shiver of excitement went down his spine.  
    Fabio’s touch was like a brand. His
hand was large and deliciously rough as he curled it around Pete’s wrist.
“Let’s stop playing games. You’ve dragged this particular game long enough
don’t you think? I’m not usually a man who tolerates games, Pete.”
    Oh God, was Pete really not
dreaming?
    “What game?”
    Fabio closed the distance between
them, until Pete could feel the other man’s hard muscles colliding with his
lean and skinny frame. He swallowed, aware of his own traitorous cock rising,
and the visible bulge in Fabio’s jeans rubbing against his own jeans. The beast
sharing half his soul woke, aroused and hungry. Pete could see it stalking
close to the surface, tasting and scenting the other wolf.
    “I’ve seen the way you look at me
in the gym, but I’ve enough of playing hide-and-seek,” Fabio hissed against his
ear.
    Pete could see the other man’s wolf
now, large, furry, and dangerous. Its amber eyes speared through his own wolf
just as Fabio’s hungry gaze pierced through him.
    Fuck. Never before had Pete wanted
anyone so badly in his life.
    “I didn’t think a man like you
would notice someone like me.”
    Pete gasped when Fabio pulled him
in close and grinded his body against him, making him shudder with need. Pete
wanted to reach out and rip at the other man’s clothes and then his own so
there was nothing in the way of their skin touching, caressing, and meeting.
    “Little wolf, you have no idea how
much time I’ve spent thinking of you all these weeks,” Fabio whispered against
his ear. “Enough thinking. This Christmas Eve, I’m going to claim every inch of
you until that sweet body of yours belongs to me and me alone.”
    “I’m dreaming. I think I need to
pinch myself,” Pete whispered.
    Fabio slipped his hand under Pete’s
shirt and reached out to pinch his left nipple.
    “Did that wake you, Pete?” The
sudden and forceful press of Fabio’s lips cushioned the brief pain.
    Fabio kissed him savagely. The
other man’s lips and teeth were everywhere. Fabio sucked fervently on his lower
lip and pushed his tongue between his lips. Pete let Fabio in and Fabio began
to tongue fuck him thoroughly.
    He was a sudden sea of sensation.
Fabio’s hands were everywhere, as if they didn’t even know where to begin
touching him. Pete would give anything to have those hands tearing off his
clothes and touching him all night long.
    “Get a room, you two horny wolves,”
a voice interrupted.
    Pete felt dazed as Fabio parted
from him, looking annoyed. He leaned toward Fabio, frightened he’d changed his
mind, but Fabio only brought him close to his
