Free Roxanne Desired by Gena D. Lutz Page A

I could tell, the works of art appeared to be painted by hand, a very talented one at that. The images that were portrayed in the vibrant paintings featured several different kinds of landscapes. Every image, in its entirety, had one thing in common, the addition of wolves. Some of them were even posing in human form alongside fully shifted wolves. The collection was stunning. I pulled my eyes from the room’s appointments and tried to figure out how I was going to find my Alphas. Considering that I had never stepped foot in this part of the house before let alone Collins office, I had no clue where to begin. I found my eyes traveling up a grand staircase that stood imposingly before me. It had a scarlet runner trimmed in gold that blanketed the steps from top to bottom. The stairs divided about halfway up before branching off into opposite directions, the separate pathways stopping as they reached the second floor. I spied a wide open space that was slightly hidden behind the staircase. That was one of the only areas that I had ventured in before and was somewhat familiar with. The room was three times larger than the foyer and happened to be filled with pool tables, a fully stocked bar, and a few lounging chairs. I knew for a fact that Collins office wasn’t anywhere near there. I looked down a long hallway off to my left; it was empty. Frowning, I decided to take my chances and head down it anyway. For some odd reason, I abruptly changed my mind and veered off course, following a nagging instinct that pointed me, instead, in the direction of the stairs.
    “Wait up.” Nathan said as he walked into the house. He was holding my overnight bag in his hand and had a blue backpack dangling off his shoulder. I admired his physique for a moment as he stood by the entryway watching me with those probing dark eyes of his. He had a gladiator build, one that wasn’t overly muscled. His hair was wild like always, pieces of it falling into the corners of his eyes. His features were a perfect mixture of masculine lines, calmed by the soft curvature of full lips and a perfectly angled nose. He was a resplendent specimen of werewolf and man. My fingers ached to touch him, to feel the corded muscles that covered his body underneath them. I had no clue why I always seemed to feel like a nymphomaniac overdosed on ecstasy whenever I was around this man. One thing was for certain. I was going to show him exactly how much I desired his tempting body, just as soon as I got him alone and out of all those bothersome clothes that covered him.
    I grinned through my secret thoughts of desire. “Is Collin’s office that way?” I asked, pointing toward the top level of the compound where I somehow ‘knew’ it would be.
    “Yeah, that’s where the nerve center of this compound is; the place where my pain in the ass cousin watches over all of us hapless wolves.”
    I rolled my eyes at him. “I don’t envy Collin. Hunting down and judging supernatural beings can’t be a fun filled job. I will remain hapless if it’s all the same to you.”
    Nathan snorted softly. “Yeah, I guess you’re right. I would much rather fill my days with the spoiling and ravishing of your sexy body. Now that’s a job I can take seriously.”
    I bit down on my bottom lip trying to suppress a groan. The man before me was making it really hard to concentrate on anything other than him and all the erotic pleasure I knew he was capable of delivering. I was curious to know if this increase of carnal need was normal, or if it had been somehow heightened by the fact that I was a wolf hybrid. Either way, I wasn’t complaining.
    “Let’s go see what our Alphas want to speak with us about.” I said huskily.
    Sunlight streamed in through the few windows scattered around the large room, the beams bathed Nathan’s hair, making his dirty blonde highlights stand out against a mop of darker locks. He walked over to me and placed a soft kiss on my lips. I reached up, entwining
