Free Embracing Fate: A hot paranormal shifter book (Hidden Hills Shifters 4) by Vella Day Page B

you’re in your animal form, if you’re the same person.”
    He smiled. “Same person might be a stretch, but if you mean are my feelings for you the same, they are. I could never hurt you.”
    That was all she needed to know. Not wanting him to change his mind about making love, she reached out and unbuttoned the rest of his shirt. More hair had sprouted. “You’re furrier.”
    “It’s what you do to me. As soon as you’re near, I want to possess you. My body automatically begins to change, and it takes effort on my part to stop it.”
    All of this shifter stuff was so new. She opened his shirt and ran her hands up and down his chest. “Is your cock bigger after you’ve changed?”
    He laughed. “My cock is always big when I’m around you.”
    He’d given her the perfect opening. “I’d better check.”
    As she undid the button on his jeans, he slipped a hand in his pocket and extracted a condom. “Had to buy some more.”
    How sweet. “I’m on the pill.”
    He grinned as if she’d given him a present. “I’ve been tested and am clean. You good with that?”
    She slipped the foil packet from his fingers and dropped it on the floor. “Yes. Now, where was I?”
    “You were in the middle of being careful. Remember what happens when you tempt me too much.”
    “Uh-huh.”
    They were standing between the dining room and the living room, but their location didn’t matter. Piper dropped to her knees, and as soon as she dragged down his pants and briefs, her breath caught at the sight of his vein-pulsing cock. As much as she’d planned to suck on him right away, his girth intrigued her. She tapped the side of his leg. “Step out of these.”
    He laughed. “Hold on. They won’t fit over my boots.”
    Wow. She’d been so intent on his dick that she’d forgotten about his feet. He removed his boots then slipped off his pants. “There.”
    “I would have thought when you shifted, your clothes would have split apart.”
    “Good thing they don’t or I’d not only be broke buying new ones, I’d be rather embarrassed after changing forms in a back alley. Hidden Hills might not be too pleased to have naked men and women running around.”
    She huffed out a laugh. Tasha would never chance shifting if that were a possibility. “True.”
    As much as she wanted to find out exactly how the clothes reappeared after he returned to his human form, there’d be time later to discuss it. Right now, she had a cock to attend to.
    Cord grabbed his long shaft and waved it at her. “Someone mentioned sucking on it?”
    She’d never said what she planned to do, but her kneeling position implied it. “I did.”
    Before she began, she ran a finger up and down his length, thrilled she could make him groan with each pass.
    “Watch it,” he said.
    Before he decided to put a stop to her actions, she leaned over and engulfed his thickness, his slightly salty tang nearly melting her pussy.
    “Jesus, girl.” He grabbed her hair on both sides of her head and tugged.
    His thighs bunched as she swirled her tongue around his hard shaft. With each stroke, his growls quickened, and when she swallowed to open her throat, he stepped out of her grasp.
    Stunned, she leaned back and clasped a hand over her mouth. His body was alternating between human and what she thought looked like a large black cat. She blinked to clear her vision, and he was once more all man.
    “You’ve had your fun,” he said, lifting her to her feet. “Now it’s my turn.”

Chapter Nine

    C ord couldn’t believe he’d shifted in front of Piper, but the sight of her naked body had forced the transformation. He’d truly believed that after he’d made love with her the first time he wouldn’t be as affected. Boy, had he been wrong.
    After he’d stowed her at his apartment, he’d driven all of one mile when he’d debated turning around and insisting she stay with a friend, but then realized he’d never know for sure if she were safe.
