Free The Mating Season: A Paranormal Shifter Romance by Jade White Page A

his hands around her waist, bent down and bit her hard on her neck while pumping furiously inside her.
    Kim felt another orgasm building shortly after the first one hit. She felt Tony’s teeth sink in as he drove himself home. She ground back, giving him added pleasure as he finally growled into her neck, and emptied himself deep inside her. She felt the same strange pressure with Tony as she did with Keith. Must be a genetic thing, she thought, as their encounter drew to a close.
    They stood panting and naked while bent over the sofa. Kim started to gradually come to her senses. What on earth had she done? First Keith, now Tony. She wasn’t like this at all. She didn’t even want one relationship, let alone two. “Hey,” She managed to utter. “I think we should stay in separate rooms tonight. Just because.”
    Tony was a little disappointed but understood. “Yeah, in case Smiley shows up, right?” he asked.
    “Yeah, that’s right,” Kim lied. Her desire to sleep alone had nothing to do with Smiley, but everything to do with the fact she didn’t want Tony falling for her as hard as Keith had. It might be too late, actually. Why couldn’t she just keep herself under control? She asked herself.
    They straightened themselves out. Tony put his underwear back on, and Kim grabbed her bathrobe from the hook in her bathroom. Kim reheated the dinner and Tony grabbed himself a plate and devoured it in no time.
    “Mmmm, this is good,” he said as he licked the plate clean. “Almost better than my mom’s cooking.”
    “Thanks, you don’t have to flatter me that much,” Kim said, smiling as she tried to accept the compliment.
    She was put off at how Tony didn’t think anything of what had just happened. She decided to try to keep him at arm’s length, as well. Her body was getting her into more trouble than she needed to be in at this particular point in her life. She needed to stop it cold in its tracks.
    A few hours later, Kim began to feel tired. “I think it’s time to go to bed,” she yawned. “Today’s just been all over the place and I need to get some shut-eye. If you go for a walk or whatever, the key is hanging up by the door.”
    “Cool, thanks,” Tony replied while flicking through the channels. “See you in the morning.” He could tell that the sex had upset her. Not the fact that it was bad sex, she seemed to have really been into it, but for some reason her emotions were all over the place. Hopefully, she can sort herself out. It’s getting close to the day where she has to talk to Rusty about the mating ceremony. Whether she wanted to or not, she had a choice coming up.
     

CHAPTER FOUR
    Kim woke up the next morning sore from last night’s escapades. She stretched out on her bed, reluctant to get out because she didn’t want to face Tony this morning. She wrapped herself in her duvet, put the pillow over her head and groaned to herself. How could she be so stupid? Not one, but two guys in a month. That was totally not like her. Not only that, it seemed that at least both men had some sort of feelings for her.
    Her nostrils were tickled by the scent of cooking bacon and brewing coffee. Her stomach growled in response to the delicious scents. No... Just no. Fuck you stomach. Fuck you, body, you betraying whore. Just ugh, she thought to herself. What the hell do those guys have over her anyway? She had no idea, but the smell of that bacon was driving her insane, she had to get up or she’d wind up eating her pillow at this rate.
    Kim threw on her pink terry cloth bathrobe and wandered to the kitchen. At her table sat Tony, and at the stove stood Keith, cooking away.
    “Umm, good morning?” she inquired, arching an eyebrow.
    “Hey, you slept pretty late,” Tony said. “I asked Keith over because we needed to talk to you about something. Rusty is coming over in a bit too. Don’t worry, it’s nothing really bad.”
    Keith’s shoulders were tense as he whisked the eggs in the pan. He
