Free Controlled Cravings by Christin Lovell Page B

when my control broke, when my determination finally snapped.
    Mark smiled wide, a big shit-eating grin. He glanced back at Callie’s house. “I have always been attracted to the curvy minx. If you aren’t going to act on your attraction to her, then I might as well. After all, it’s not fair to leave her high and dry with no orgasms.”
    My wolf pushed to the surface, growling loud and menacingly at our beta. I knew my eyes were glowing as my body shook, my muscles already beginning to buckle beneath the pressure to shift. “Don’t you dare touch her. ” The threatening words were delivered through my gritted teeth.
    My limbs trembled even as I clamped down on every muscle, every joint trying to stiffen my body and hold back the change. Just the thought of another man touching my mate damn near destroyed me.
    “I’ve just pr oven my point I believe.” Mark met my gaze with a different challenge. “If you care about her at all, then you’ll either claim her or let her go entirely. It’s not fair for her to live the rest of her life alone because you refuse to step up and be the alpha in your personal life.” He abruptly stormed away, leaving me seething in the lawn with his spoken truth.
    Damn it! I knew he was right. Fuck! I wanted her. Damn did I want her, but I cared about her enough to protect her from me and my wolf . I cared about her enough to stay away. I didn’t want to hurt her. But if my keeping away left her vulnerable to another man’s touch, or worse, another man inflicting pain upon her, whether physical or emotional, then I guess I had no other choice. I was going to have to finally come face to face with my intense craving for my plus size mate.
    Chapter 3
    CALLIE
    Every waking minute, my body was becoming more and more tense. All evening, i f I closed my eyes, I immediately saw Evan’s chocolate eyes boring into me. Worse, they were staring at me as his muscled frame m oved over me, as his cock slid in and out of me unleashing unfathomable pleasure upon my body.
    “Fuck!” I slung the romance book I was reading across the room.
    It’d been too long. My need was too high. I needed release. I needed this heavy, torturous longing to be shattered. Damn it, I needed sex! Not a sloppy booty call, but earth blasting, pleasure condensing, l imbs-quivering-as-my-body-erupts sex.
    I squeezed my thighs together trying to dull the urge to whip out my vibrator and say to hell with who knew about it. I pinched my erect nipples and harshly groped my heavy breasts.
    I grunted when neither worked to stifle my need.
    Damn. I’d never been so on edge. I’d never been so wrung with sexual hunger. I’d never wanted to attack a male so much.
    My pussy pulsed with desire. My heart thundered in my chest beneath my swollen breasts. My breathing became louder as I struggled to hold onto the last bit of sanity I had. They would hear me. Maybe not all the pack members, but certainly Evan.
    Shit. Could I really face him at work every day knowing that he’d heard me?
    When a clear resounding ‘yes’ sprung to the forefront of my mind, I knew I was too far gone . I knew my hormones had officially taken over and kicked my insecurities to the curb, squashed my self-preservation and thrust my inner vixen to the surface.
    “Fuck it!” I muttered, sliding off the bed.
    It was nighttime. Maybe I ’d get lucky and he was in bed , asleep already. I quickly looked at the clock on my nightstand. 9:46 PM.
    My body shook, reminding me of my intense need. Screw it. If he was awake, he was awake. It’d been too long. I’d suffered alone for far too long.
    I chucked my clothes on the floor and grabbed my cordless vibrator from the nightstand drawer. It’d been ages since I used it. I prayed to every god I could think of that it still worked.
    I lay back on the bed, my head resting on the pillows, my body clenching with anticipation as the cool air wafted over me, awakening every inch of me. I bent my knees and spread my
