Free Chosen for Her Curves (Werewolf BBW Erotic Romance) by Celia Sykes Page A

It was manly and
sexy as hell. If his scent drove me this wild, I wondered what his touch would
do. Then Luke leaned in and placed his hand on my shoulder, pressing his
fingers against my soft skin. His touch felt amazing, and it sent thrills
surging through my body. His fingers were just as wide and firm as I had
imagined. I tried to slow my breathing, but then he said, “Let me buy you a
drink.”
    Play it cool , I thought. I turned and
faced him. His bright green eyes were even more intense up close. His stubbled
chin looked even sexier, and I looked at him with a dazed grin. After a moment
I shook my head and said, “Alright. I’m Allison, by the way.” I held out my
hand and Luke laughed and sat down next to me.
    “Ally, we’ve
lived in the same town of 600 people for years. Hell, we went to high school
together. I know who you are.”
      “You do?” I asked.
    Luke nodded.
“And you know who I am too.”
    “I do,” I
replied. “I think everyone in this town knows who you are.”
    “The price of
being a lone wolf.”
    “I guess
that’s one way of putting it,” I said. I smiled at Luke as the bartender handed
us two drinks. “Although, I’m not really sure I know what you mean.”
    Luke grinned
and placed his hand on my thigh. “It means I don’t take orders, and when I see
something I want, I go after it.” He looked up and down my body again, letting
his eyes linger on my curves as he slid his hand a little further up my thigh.
The way he moved was so slow and confident, like he was turning up the
thermostat in a room. Each inch he slid his fingers made me more and more
turned on. I wondered if he could tell how much I wanted him. I wondered if he
knew that I was getting wet with anticipation just waiting for him to make his
next move. God help me, if he tried to slide his fingers underneath my jeans, I
might just let him.
    At the last
moment, I regained my senses, and placed my hand down on his. “So what took you
so long?” I wanted to know why a man like Luke was suddenly so interested in
me. After all, he could have had any woman in the bar if he wanted. He was so
far out of my league that it wasn’t even funny. And now he was hitting on me? Something had to give.
    “You had a
boyfriend, and then you disappeared for a while.” Luke pushed his hand over the
inside of my thigh. His touch sent shivers through my body and made me gasp
with excitement. I knew he could tell how turned on I was, and I knew he was
enjoying himself. “Now I’m here, and you’re single, and I want you. How about
you and I get out of here?”
    As much as I
wanted to say yes, I wanted to test him a little bit. I still didn’t know why a
gorgeous man like Luke was hitting on me, and I wanted to make sure that he was
looking for something more than an easy score with someone on the rebound. I
wanted to know that he wanted me. “You’ll have to convince me first,” I said.
“I’m going to go to the bathroom, and I want you to think about what you can do
to convince me to accept your offer.”
    I pulled
Luke’s hand off my thigh, got up and headed over to the bathroom. As soon as I
closed the door behind me, I started to breathe heavily. “Ok, ok,” I whispered
to myself, “get a grip, Ally, he’s just playing around with you. He’s probably
waiting for someone and just biding his time. You can’t let a guy play with you
like this.” But I couldn’t shake the thought of what it would be like to give
myself to him, to have one night of pure bliss with a bad boy like Luke. Hell,
it would be a great way to prove to myself that I was completely over Jeremy,
and that I could do what I wanted. If Luke was trying to use me, maybe I’d use
him.
    That whole
line of thought sounded great, but what would happen if I actually slept with
him? I had never been good at casual fun. I always fell headfirst for any guy
who showed me any attention, and Luke had shown quite a bit of interest. I
wanted him badly, but did he
