An excerpt from Saved By the Wolf (A Werewolf’s Curse #2)
Jacob had expected her to follow Carson through the woods back to town, but she didn’t leave. They stared at one another in the blistering cold long after the sound of Carson’s footsteps had faded away. In her apparent haste to find them, she hadn’t zipped her parka closed. The gap gave him a glimpse of her luscious curves and he wished he could pull the bulky garment off her and see her all.
“What are you doing out here, Alanna?”
She took a deep breath and shook her head. “When I heard about the avalanche…” She closed her eyes for a minute. When she opened them again, her pale blue eyes peered straight into his gaze. “I wanted to make sure you and Leslie were okay.”
Her words thrilled his wolf and lured him closer. He didn’t stop until he was a mere inch or two from her, towering over her enticingly lush body. He grabbed the two halves of her zipper and zipped her parka up to her chin, hiding her precious vulnerable form. She tilted back to gaze into his eyes, exposing her neck to him in the most enticing way. Her mouth dropped open slightly as her gaze drifted down his face to land on his lips. He leaned forward, eager to taste her for the first time. She didn’t retreat. When her breath fanned across his face, he dropped his hands to his side.
She whispered his name and placed her hand on his chest. Her heated touch on his cold skin seared him like a brand. Her attention still lingered on his mouth, and the hot need to possess her shot through him.
Take her. Kiss her.
She rose up on her toes, minimizing the scant distance between her lips and his. Her eyes fluttered shut, leaving her at his mercy. Trusting him.
“Go back to town, Alanna.”
