The Breed
to pull out after I kiss you. And we can never
do this again.”
    He didn’t make me any promises but as his
lips met mine, I felt something melt inside me. He took my mouth
with a passion I couldn’t help but return, his tongue thrusting
into my mouth just as his cock was thrusting into my pussy. Filling
me, fucking me… Fucking, we were still fucking .
    “Stop!” I pulled away, breaking the kiss
suddenly. “This has to stop now, Lukas. Right now.”
    “All right.” I could tell it caused him pain
but gripping my hips even harder he slid slowly out of me. I tried
but I couldn’t look away from the obscene sight of his thick cock
all slippery from my honey. From the slit in the broad head I saw
pearly droplets of cum forming. God, had he come in me, even a
little? Was I at risk right now?
    It was that last thought that made me stand
up and get away from him. I needed a shower, needed to wash him off
me—out of me. I had to get away from him before I did something
else I regretted even more.
    “Lexie?” There was a pleading in his voice, a
depth of desire I had never heard before and hoped to never hear
again. “I’m sorry,” he said. “I’ve just wanted you for so
long.”
    “Lukas…” I sighed and put a hand to my head.
“Look it’s not that I don’t care about you—I do . And I know
what you said about being my predestined mate and I can feel some
of that—really I can. But you…you just have to give me time to wrap
my head around this whole thing. I mean, up until two days ago I
thought you were my brother. And now—”
    “Lexie,” he said, frowning. “About that. I
think I should tell you—”
    Just then I heard my phone chirping loudly
from the other room. It was Sylvia’s ring and I was instantly on
the alert. Was she all right? Did she have news for me?
    “Hold that thought,” I told Lukas. “Just let
me grab this and make sure my friend is okay. She doesn’t usually
call unless it’s really important.”
    He sighed and sat back on the couch. “I’ve
been waiting for you for years, sweetheart. I don’t think a few
more minutes will make a difference.”
    I had to work to suppress a smile as I went
for the phone. Lukas really could be flattering when he wanted to
be. And with his black hair all tousled and his dark eyes still
half-lidded as they followed my every minute, there was no doubt he
was sexy. Maybe I could learn to think of him as something
other than my big brother in time. Maybe we could even have the
kind of relationship he seemed to crave from me. And since we’re
not really related, I thought, reaching for the phone, anything is possible…

Chapter Six
     
    “Lexie?” Sylvia’s voice on the other end of
the phone sounded slightly breathless, as though something had
excited or agitated her. Since she was normally so calm and logical
I was immediately on the alert.
    “What is it?” I asked. “What’s wrong?”
    “Nothing’s wrong exactly,” she said, as
though choosing her words carefully. “But there is something I
wanted you to know. Remember you asked me to do some research into
the mating cycle of the Breeders?”
    “Of course,” I said, sitting on the edge of
the bed. “But I thought you couldn’t get to it until after
finals.”
    “I made some time,” she said grimly. “Because
I remembered something—something I thought was important. But I
didn’t want to say anything to you until I verified it.”
    “What?” I asked. “Just tell me, Sylvia.”
    “It has to do with their reproductive
system—it’s really quite unique,” she began. My stomach was tied in
knots and I wanted to scream at her to get to the point but I knew
from long experience that you couldn’t rush Sylvia when she was
making a point.
    “Okay,” I said. “Go on.”
    “Well, the female has both a menstrual cycle
and a second cycle which is very similar to the estrus we were
talking about earlier.”
    “I get it,” I said flatly. “She goes into
heat and needs
