Exactly how did I end up running blind through the jungle with wolves chasing after me?

Brilliant idea to come and save Joel and Kendrick, who it turned out didn't need her help after all.

And here she was so proud of their escape.

The shutters of the prison hut busted open when Carlie took a running leap at them while in her jaguar form. Surprisingly enough, no one flung the barred door open to see what the noise meant. Probably because they were all elsewhere. At least, according to her sister. At the time, Ruth still didn't quite believe Kendrick and Joel foolishly volunteered themselves to fight to win her freedom. But in case they did, Ruth needed to make it to them and stop that madness. As an American, and sister to one of the tribe ? planned divorce or not ? Ruth could rescue herself. Eventually. She hoped. The alternative, though, possible harm to a pair of men who didn't know what they were up against, was just not acceptable. If their opponents were jaguars

    Ruth stirred, the morning light bugging her closed eyes. "About time you woke up, Ruthie." "Carlie. Is that you? I had the strangest dream," she murmured, turning on her lumpy mattress. God, she needed to shop for a new one. "I dreamt you were lost in the jungle and?" She didn't finish her sentence. Why would she when her fluttering eyes spotted the green canopy overhead? "It wasn't a dream," Carlie replied. "Apparently. But this also isn't the hut I went to sleep in." "You call that sleep?" Carlie snickered. Ruth didn't bother blushing. Not with her sister. "More like a climax coma then. How long was I out? And where are we?" she asked, peeking around at the trees and flora surrounding them. "Almost back to the real world. Here, drink this. It will help clear your head." "Are you sure? It's not, you know, poisoned or anything, is it?" Carlie laughed. "No. Your humanity is safe." Taking the cup, Ruth drank the cool liquid wit

    "What do you mean she's gone?" Joel's heart stopped. Peter lifted his shoulders in a helpless shrug. "I tried to convince her to stay when I ran into her in the lobby. I told her to talk to you guys, but she kept saying something about not being one of those desperate girls." "That doesn't make any sense." "She seemed to think what you had wasn't permanent," Peter clarified. Kendrick's brows shot up. "We marked her? How much more permanent could we get?" "Did you tell her what the biting meant?" "Of course not. She's human." "She's your mate. And she suffers from low self-esteem." "About what?" Joel asked, puzzled. "Her weight." "What about it? She's perfect." "To you and Joel, but in her mind, she's not. She seems to think you pity fucked her because there was nothing better around." "Of all the stupid things," Kendrick growled. "I thought she'd gotten over that." "I'm with you this time. How could she think

    Only back a few hours and already Ruth regretted it. Regretted the adventure ever had to end. Regretted not giving in to temptation one more time. Almost regretted her choice to get involved in the first place. But how was I to know I'd fall in love, and with two men? She'd not set out expecting to meet such great guys, or to indulge in the most mind-blowing sex imaginable. Now, however, after having tasted and experienced male perfection, how the hell would she ever date again? And a better question, how would she make it through the rest of her life never seeing Joel or Kendrick again? Tears tracked down her cheeks. She scrubbed at them, furious at herself. She knew this might happen. Warned herself not to get emotionally involved. To not fall for their pretty words and promises ? sensual touches and kisses ? knowing men would do or say anything for sex. They seemed so sincere though. Sniffle. With Carlie gone, it was up to Ruth to keep her spirits up and not

    Kendrick wanted to howl for joy, but contained himself, not wanting to do anything to jeopardize the understanding they'd finally achieved with Ruth. Farfetched as it seemed, she'd truly not understood how much she meant to them. Their fault, really, for not explaining more plainly how they felt. What idiot doesn't tell his mate he loves her? He wouldn't make that mistake again. He'd tell her and show her a hundred times a day if that was all it took to make her happy. And he'd also make sure to taste her decadent honey as often as possible, because damn, she possessed the sweetest flavor he'd ever known. Or would ever know again. He tongued her with all of his passion unleashed. He didn't hold back as he lashed across her clit, bathing it, caressing it, feeling her twitch and tremble under his oral assault. When he peered up, he tensed for a moment, frightened he'd get turned off by Joel getting sucked by her, but despite the fact he had no interest in Joel as a sexu

    Joel held on by the barest thread. And he didn't know how because encased in Ruth's hot flesh, knowing she loved him, knowing she wanted him, made him the happiest man alive. And then it got better. Kendrick joined the circle, thrusting into her, and for a moment, as they both rested inside her body, her climaxing body, Joel felt something happen in him; something unfurled and reached out to touch ? their souls? He couldn't have said. But he wanted to keep touching it for as long as possible. His hands on her hips began to move her, sliding her back and forth on his cock, alternating his thrusts with Kendrick's, seesawing her sweet body as she gasped and moaned, her body caught in a climactic loop, a never-ending orgasm that had his hips pistoning faster and faster, his heart pounding too quick to count, then his whole world exploding. "I love you." He yelled it. Or thought it. It didn't matter, he knew she heard him. And returned it with a pulsing warmth of her own, a wave

    "Holy shit. I still can't believe they exist." Stu slapped the dining room table as Kendrick's mother cleared the dessert dishes ? Ruth and the other girls in the family giving her a hand. "Oh, they exist all right. Darned woman-stealing perverts," Joel muttered. "I told you!" his mother shouted from the kitchen with her impeccable hearing, eavesdropping as usual. "So what's going to happen to Ruth's sister?" his dad asked. A sister they were sworn to secrecy about. Kendrick couldn't blame the Moon Ghosts for not wanting the knowledge they could change humans to get out. God only knew what someone with the wrong intentions would do with that little tidbit. Kendrick shrugged. "She keeps saying she's getting a divorce. And their response is to just toss her over a shoulder and make her take it back." He grinned. "I think they might have bitten off more than they expected when they stole her as their jungle freakn' bride." "I am just happy my parents swallowe

    Damn, I love her. Joel couldn't help the smile on his lips every time he looked, saw, or smelled his mate. Human or not, he wouldn't change a freakn' thing about Ruth. While his love for her might have started because of a chemical reaction exclusive to his kind, hers evolved out of a genuine like of him for him. To a boy, now a man, who fought for acceptance his whole life, the trust she placed in him, the love she sent his way, melted the ice he'd encased around his heart. His dad was still a dick. His mother still abandoned him. But someone loved him. Loved him and wanted him just the way he was. Screw fate. This was what love was all about. Acceptance, laughter, and trust. With a healthy dose of sex. "I'm not wearing underwear," she whispered in his ear. When the laughter erupted and Ruth realized her hushed comment greeted more ears than expected, she only turned three shades of red as she grumbled, "Darned wolves. I am so getting you all flea collars

    "The gods have spoken to me." The gods, or a particular ground root that a certain somebody liked to smoke in his pipe? "And what are they saying this time?" Acat asked, not actually caring as he fixed his grandfather's roof, thatching some of the more barren spots. "They say your bride awaits." The news shook Acat, and despite his usual grace, he lost his balance. The embarrassment at reacting was worse than the fall off his ladder. He managed to twist his body at the last moment so his feet hit the ground first. The impact still proved jarring ? and not just to his knees. Straightening, he eyed his elderly relative who regarded him sagely while puffing away on his ever-present pipe. "The gods said that, did they? Or is this wishful thinking on your part? Are you getting that desperate for great-grandbabies you can corrupt?" "Does it truly matter?" Grandfather smiled, his crinkled face creasing even further. His eyes sparkled with mischief. Acat didn't le

    Nothing ever felt more right than the first time Derrick sank balls deep into Janine. Unless he counted the second time and then the third. Over and over, he claimed her that night, the next day, all that week as she took some time off work for them to explore their new relationship. And yes, they were in a relationship. She's my mate now. And soon, she'd be his wife. He'd already asked for and received permission from Orson and Janine's mother. A conversation that went along the lines of? "I'm going to marry your daughter." "I get to plan the wedding." "I'll have you cremated if you hurt her." Derrick could already tell they'd fit in well with his family. Snap.*Epilogue An exaggerated groan left Derrick as he heaved Janine out of the car. The sound totally deserved a laser-hot glare. "Are you implying something?" No denying she was a little more rotund these days. He pulled her close, not caring that her big belly got in the way. A smile tugged

    With Derrick buried in the bosom of his family, Janine slipped away before the tears blurring her gaze were noticed. Derrick had survived the surgery and seemed about to beat the odds. He would recover, which meant it was time for her to go. Even if I love him. And she did love him. Loved him so much that she couldn't be with him. She knew Derrick thought himself in love with her, that she was his mate. Much as she wanted to believe that, she couldn't. He'd fallen for her only because, at the time, he depended on her. Acting as his therapist meant their close involvement brought them together and imbued him with a false sense of intimacy. I think the intimacy came from you letting him touch you. Acts that shouldn't have happened, and yet, she didn't regret. It made leaving so much harder, but she did it now while she could. Now while he had his family and the promise of a bright future ahead of him. Let him get on with his life. Find a woman to settle dow

    The hot satisfaction at having brought down the enemy paled before the panicked realization that Derrick couldn't move. Not a single damned muscle. The cold reality sent his wolf into hiding, pulling back from the dead weight of his body and leaving only human flesh. Flesh that felt nothing but the tips of her fingers on his cheeks as she cradled his head. "Derrick. Oh God, why did you do that?" She hugged his head, and if the moment weren't so dire, he might have enjoyed being buried against her plush tits. But all he could think was, This is the last time. The last time he'd smell her or feel her touch because he'd fucked up majorly in skipping the surgery and now paid the price. Since he didn't expect he'd get another chance, he whispered, "I love you," which only caused her to rock and hug tighter. In a voice thick with tears, she retorted, "This better not be one of those goodbye speeches. You're going to be fine. We'll get you in for that surgery, and ever

    Doctor's Pet. She read the title in gleaming silver letters on the back of Derrick's chair as he whipped by with a whoop, well ahead of his brothers in their own colorful chariots. When she'd come across some orderlies watching something out the window, she'd not expected to see the Grayson clan gathered out front, clapping and hollering at the participants in the wheelchair races. It wasn't even just Derrick and his brothers playing. They'd gotten several other patients to join in too. Given the speed at which they raced, a fear for their safety made her want to march out that door and tell them to stop, but an old adage came to mind-boys will be boys. And men would do stupid things that resulted in stitches for, as Stu said upon meeting her, "Shits and giggles." The main surgeon for the rehab center came to stand beside her. "Looks like fun," he noted. "Yes. Dangerous, though," she added. "These men have been to hell and back. Do you really want to

    The feel of her on his fingers proved exhilarating, but it couldn't compare to her intoxicating taste. A man parched, Derrick lapped at her, savoring her womanly cream and humming with pure male satisfaction at how she clenched and pushed against him, her body craving more of his touch. He couldn't have stopped if he wanted to. Too long he'd craved her. Too long he'd denied the unmistakable truth. Janine is mine. And for this moment at least, he couldn't find the strength to push her away. I'm tired of fighting what I want. Time for a little selfishness. He lapped at her sweet button, feeling it swell at his flicks. He pumped his fingers in and out of the moistness of her sex, loving how she gripped him tight. Her excitement built, reaching a crescendo, and he felt just as coiled as her, poised on the edge. He pistoned his fingers in her as his lips pinched her swollen button. A low cry began to keen from her lips. She smashed a pillow over her face as her body arched

    Something woke Janine from a light slumber. She lay in bed, one half of her face squashed against her pillow, listening. Not even the creak of joists shifting broke the heavy silence. Holding her breath a moment longer, she tested the ambiance of the room. Is anyone here? Am I alone? Her senses craned, seeking that sense of vitality that only another person could emit. She sought another presence, a reason for waking, and felt nothing. She exhaled with relief. No bogeyman tonight. For those who might mock her, she had no problem admitting a fear of the dark, especially the particular shade it achieved in the middle of the night. Dark deeds often happened under night's shadow. And sometimes a little girl wakes and opens her eyes to see bloodshot ones staring right at her. The shriek she uttered proved piercing. The scarier thing? Daddy screamed at an even higher pitch. But that had happened a long time ago. Only the one time, but it left an impression. She'

    The tingling awareness of her presence faded as Janine moved from the doorway of the game room. He'd known she watched him. Felt her eyes on him the moment she appeared and missed her gaze when she left. It took him gripping the wheels of his chair not to chase after her. Having her out of his line of sight didn't sit well, and not just because of all the people roaming around. Earlier, when they'd first arrived, he'd also hated sending her off into the kitchen with her mother. Then again, it was probably a good thing Red didn't stay because the first thing Derrick tried to do was get her out of his life. "I want a new shrink." On his way to a bar, fetching a drink of something with a fiery kick, Orson paused. "Is there a problem with my daughter?" "No." "Then why the request?" The council member uncorked a decanter and poured some amber liquid into glasses. He handed one to Derrick before taking a seat on the couch. "Do you want her removed because she's

    Despite the mishap in locating Derrick-I really thought I'd have to hunt him down and force him-the road trip passed rather peacefully. Despite the sexual tension between them, there was also a genuine like for one another, and when he wasn't barbing her or trying to push Janine away, they could have the most interesting conversations. It passed the long trip. While Derrick started out driving, the highway part of the route being the longest, she took over once they hit an exit. She made sure to give him a pit stop so he could use a washroom, and she said not a word about the fact that he took a few minutes longer than other people to do his business and glared at those who dared to complain outside the locked door. As she took the familiar twists and turns to her parents' house, she couldn't help a touch of anxiousness. How would her stepdad react? With her, Orson was the most lovable teddy bear a girl could ask for, but with anyone he thought threatened her? Poor Jeremy w

    Red stalked into his room, swinging the door open in a familiarity that apparently didn't see a need to knock. "Derrick, we need to-Uh. Oh." Her outburst ended on a gasp. Probably because she got more of a glimpse than she expected Splayed on top of covers still drawn tight, one hundred percent naked, and bound-the height of emasculation-he glared. "Were you raised in a barn?" Something his mother used to accuse him of when he lacked manners. His Aunt Joni took great offense at that expression and claimed it was those raised as ci-diots that were the problem with morality nowadays. A shame they feuded for years on end. Aunt Joni's pie was worth the occasional brawl between sisters. Janine's head ducked. He could only imagine the pinkness of her expressive cheeks. "Sorry. I didn't think. I'll come back later when you're not so, um, er, tied up," she stammered. The things she could do to me right now? For a moment, he almost imagined a spark, enough that he said t
