Free ALPHA SPEED DATING (BBW) (Rocky Mountain Shifters) by Susan Arden Page B

down for the dating cycle. You don’t need to stay in rotation. But if you don’t come with me, I’ll stay here and do what I just did to ten more of your dates . I’ve no problem telling an army to get lost when it comes to you.
    He stared at her while trailing his fingers over her skin, pulling her garter. He ran his finger underneath and approached the zone of no return. He arched an inky brow. She felt drugged by his clean, masculine scent. Woody with a hint of musk that filled her senses, whetting her appetite. Her thoughts swirled uncontrollably as her body went up in flames by the sound of his voice, further fueled by the pressure of his warm fingers stroking her skin. Everything about him was firm and demanding.
    His fingers crept closer. He traced the last inch of the garter up her thigh, causing her ache to swell, her breath to hitch. The tables were draped in linen tablecloths. The perfect venue for his erotic game where her body was a traitor. Next time, there would be table mats. Nothing that could hide wandering hands.
    “Why are you doing this? There’s a roomful of women who are more to your…ranking?” She bit back a moan, the coil of lust tightening deep inside her belly, and she opened her legs wider for his hand.
    “Now, there you’re dead wrong. I desire only one woman. The one right in front of me and ready to come all over my finger. Aren’t you?”

    “Please, don’t tempt me.” Mari implored him with her eyes to stop.
    He didn’t think he actually could cease from touching her. From this point on, he’d never stop, not even after repeatedly thrusting deep inside her. God, the things he envisioned doing with her.
    “It’s my nature to do just that. Over and over. I promise you’ll enjoy what I can offer.” His instincts might mix messages, but they didn’t lie. She was more than quick sex to ease his lust. There was some tangible bond between them.
    “Conrad, consider what impact this will have on me.” A pained expression flashed in her eyes.
    He held back from plunging his finger deep into her. The muscles in his arm shook from the magnetic dynamic going on between them. He shuddered at his denying what they both needed…what they both wanted.  This sharp yearning was further exacerbated by the struggle to maintain his self-control that he precariously exercised between his primal wolf sense and his human temperament.
    A couple more inches, and he’d touch heaven. The scent of her arousal had him silently growling. Her breathy voice. The texture of her silky skin had his self-control vaporizing. His cock rubbed against his zipper. Each swipe of his finger against Mari’s skin sent him into overdrive. He needed to get inside this woman with a hunger that bordered on brutal. The depth of his need ran into the marrow of his bones. Shit. He’d traveled the world, circling the globe not once but several times. Sampled enough to know what he liked, and she was the pinnacle. Zenith. He had to have her.
    If she wanted to pull away, she would have done so already. He wasn’t a total wanker. Operative word total . His ability to converse wouldn’t last much longer. He preferred to concentrate on more important issues such as undressing Mari in a private room and learning to navigate every beautiful inch of her body.
    “Baby,” he growled, pushing forward, unable to resist a second longer. “I have. Entirely.”
    He skimmed his finger across the last inch of her smooth skin before he encountered her knickers. Running his finger over the silky material, he waved his thumb over her sex and found her erect nub. The material was wet under his finger, getting wetter as he stroked across the narrow space between her legs.
    Her gasp sent a dart of feral arousal down his spine and into his nuts, then rocketed straight up his dick. It didn’t get much harder or softer than this. His cock was granite, and Mari was satin slickness against his finger.
    Fuck, he was going to
