Free The Alion King: BBW Paranormal Shape Shifter Romance (Paranormal Dating Agency Book 6) by Milly Taiden

between her fingers as if her life depended on it.
    For long moments, nothing but their kiss existed—his lips on hers, his tongue rubbing over hers, taming the flames of passion melting her insides. He dropped his hands down her body, caressing her breasts and grabbing a handful of her ass to press her even closer to him in the process lifting her off her feet. The rumbling sound of his groan turned her already-slick pussy wetter.
    She pulled back from him, breathing hard and licking her lips. “I didn’t have any wine today.”
    He chuckled, giving her another kiss before he put her back on her feet. “Did Karel take you to see the waterfalls?”
    She shook her head. “No. We’d only walked a short time before you showed up.”
    “I’m glad,” he said caressing her cheek and grabbing her hand. “I want you to see how beautiful the falls are.” His eyes lit up in the bright gold she knew meant the lion was close to the surface. Tally had mentioned that enough times about her two men. “But I want to be the one to show it to you. It’s a special place.”
    Dear god, she was falling faster than a speeding bullet for the giant. His voice alone made her knees shake. Now that she saw him again, more emotions clogged her heart. Yes, there was lust and passion, but there was also joy at being near him. There was a strange happiness knowing he wanted to spend time with her.
    None of those things showed up in any of her previous relationships. After what amounted to a day, she was ready to think long-term with a man she barely knew. She remembered her cousin Tally and how she’d explained falling for Theron and Connor. “It was love at first sight,” she’d said to Bella.
    At the time, Bella had laughed it off as her cousin being drunk on good sex. Really, with two hot-as-heck shifters, how could she not be? But now? Could it be true? Love at first sight? Did it exist?
    Her heart screamed it did, she was experiencing it herself. But her brain, the much more logical side of her, said no—this was just a side effect of being in a new, wonderful place with a man who made her see more stars than the fireworks during the Fourth of July.
    “You’ve gone quiet on me,” Trey said. He guided her down a path between the trees.
    “Sorry.” She smiled, leaning into him instinctively. “I was just wondering how it’s going for Gerri finding the king a wife.”
    “She’s currently busy trying to control two wolves who want a mate of their own,” he smirked.
    “You sound happy about that. Don’t you want the king to find a wife?”
    “The king can find his own wife.”
    She blurted a laugh. “Not from what Gerri said. According to her, he’s hardheaded.”
    “He’s not. Knowing what he doesn’t want doesn’t make him hardheaded.”
    “That’s true. That just means he knows what he’s looking for. But he didn’t find what he was looking for without her help. Maybe now he’ll realize getting someone to help isn’t the end of the world.”
    He stopped mid-stride and smiled down at her. Tiny flutters took hold of her chest. “You’re right. A man needs to accept his mate’s help, even if he thinks he knows what he’s doing.”
    She smiled wide. “Exactly. You should have a talk with the king. He needs to learn how to share with whoever he picks for a wife. Sharing and communicating help relationships thrive.”
    “Maybe I will,” he said, glancing back to the path with a frown. “Come, ym Neevk . We’re almost there.”
    She sighed, smiling at the endearment. She still hadn’t found out what it meant, but she loved hearing him say it.

 
    FOURTEEN
     
    Alyx fought down the beast inside him like never before. Every second he spent next to Bella was another second his animal wanted to mate her, to stamp his mark on her and show everyone she was his.
    As they neared the falls, he couldn’t help but think of his parents. They’d left the castle to live hours away in the Untamed Forest. Reserved for
