I stood there, still feeling the weight of his intense dark gaze as the crowd moved out of the ballroom, except for the winners who hustled up to claim their dates and a few others who clustered around the men, asking for autographs or posing for photos. I'll give the guys this - all fifteen of them put up with the fawning attention, dispensing hugs and autographs with grace. Likewise, I kept up my obligatory smile, accepting checks and air kisses and thanking those who came up to talk to the organizer.

Finally, the women hustled their "dates" out the door and the only one left was Dermott McMahon, who lingered behind the cashier's table with Dani and Ari and their men. I raised my eyebrow at Dani as I approached. "These two don't keep you occupied?"

Ari broke first. She's just too bloody sweet to lie worth a damn. "We bought him for you, Jess."

"What?" I stopped in my tracks. "What have you two done this time?" Even after being friends for nearly fifty years, they still managed to

    Dermott's private plane was like sitting in someone's comfortable living room, except for the discreet seat belts on the cream leather chairs. The main sitting area consisted of four oversized recliners, grouped in a rectangle, with tables that could be folded out between them. Behind, two sofas faced each other, and a plasma screen TV hung on the wall leading to the rear section. Dermott handed me into one of the recliners. With a smile, he lowered his long, lean frame into the one across from me. Less than an hour had passed since the end of the auction. There'd been no hassles, no lines - maybe I should think about chartering a plane next time I had to travel. A steward, a handsome...werewolf?...offered me my choice of beverages or food before he discreetly vanished into the rear of the plane."I think you'll find your friends packed you a bag for the flight as well as a suitcase," Dermott said. There was just a hint of a grin curving his wide, mobile lips, and his deep, rich barito

    His gaze, combined with his gorgeous voice, was hypnotic. All I could do was nod."It was my second Season - I hadn't accepted a proposal during my first - none of the men who were interested appealed to me, but that year I'd fallen in love with a dashing young viscount. I let him lure me into a garden during a ball, expecting kisses and maybe even a proposal. Instead, he raped me, and left me on the ground, bleeding to death.""He wasn't an immortal, was he?" There was steel beneath the velvet in his tone this time."No, and he's quite dead - has been for nearly two hundred years. I had a friend, you see. Not a lover, just a friend. He was a quiet sort, an American, and he was desperately in love with me, though I didn't realize that at the time. He wasn't rich enough or handsome enough to capture my attention in a romantic way, but he was a reliable, steady confidante. I also didn't know that he was a vampire. He found me in the garden, dying, and he offered me his blood to save my l

    Dermott nodded. "Dani filled me in, asked if I was willing to go along with the idea.""Why did you?" That, more than anything else, I had to know."Do you really have to ask?" That voice made my toes tingle as it deepened. "I want you, Jess. I have since the moment Ty introduced us three months ago."For a moment I forgot how to breathe.He went on. "I won't do anything you don't want - I've never forced a woman in my life, and I'm not about to start now. But I gained the distinct impression during our few meetings that you were as interested as I was in getting to know each other better."Elek returned before I could speak, handing each of us a crystal goblet filled with dark red wine mixed with blood and spices. The bases were just the right size to set in cup holders that popped out of the sides of the armrest. Whoever designed this plane had taken care of every last detail.When Elek disappeared again, Dermott licked his lips, making my pussy clench. I'd been damp throughout our c

    "First I want to peel you out of that elegant dress and see every inch of your silky skin - then I want to touch and taste it." His fingers slid up to my ankles and caressed my calves.Odd how I hadn't thought of my calves as erogenous before."After I kiss you all over," he said, "I'll want to spend time admiring those nipples poking so insistently at the front of your dress. I've been wondering for weeks if they're rose or peach. I can tell they're responsive - I haven't even touched them and they're like pebbles under that silk."I didn't realize my hands had slipped up to cup my aching breasts through the bodice of my dress until that moment. I'm not large, but he was right - my nipples were sensitive, and I brushed them with my thumbs."Ah, leannan, that's a beautiful sight." His accent thickened and his dark lashes lowered. "Why don't you unfasten your bodice and do that for me?"My gaze flickered down to see me toying with my nipples, but I was too aroused to be embarrassed. I l

    "Any...time...you want...to...find out." I gasped for breath as he continued tormenting me with his lips and tongue, sucking my juices from my quivering pussy and nibbling on my lips and clit.He nipped down on my clit with his lips sheathing his teeth, but it was enough to make me scream his name."Soon, Jess. After you come apart for me now." He pulled one hand out from under my ass even as the index finger of his other breached my anus just a tiny bit. I let go of my nipples to clutch his head with one hand, the couch cushion with the other. Coordinated movement was more than I could manage at the moment - all I could do was hold on. While I was adjusting to the shock of that, he slipped two lean fingers deep inside my cunt.In and out. On the third stroke he added a third finger, filling me almost to capacity as he spread them and curled them upward, hitting a spot I had never really believed was real. I started to come. When he sucked on my clit, flashes of light exploded behind e

    Dermott sighed. "I suppose we should get dressed, shouldn't we?" A warm thread of laughter hovered just under the surface of his tone. "Unless you don't care about shocking the staff."I stretched and reluctantly slid up and off his lap, standing on wobbly knees to pull my dress down over my slick pussy."Lavatory's through here." Dermott stood, kicking his trousers from around his ankles as he did. Sure enough, one door in the back wall led to the biggest bathroom I'd ever seen on a plane. He flushed the condom while I wetted a washcloth and cleaned up a bit. The thoughtful man even fetched my purse so I could comb my hair without me having to ask."They're still all going to know what we just did," I grumbled as we both put our clothing back together. "Your steward's a shifter, isn't he? The scent alone will give us away.""Oh, I'm sure Elek already knew what we were up to in there," Dermott answered with a laugh. "Probably had him so hard he was jacking off in the back. We could

    My eyes actually watered at their thoughtfulness - and his. Dermott continued washing me until I was clean, his hands gentle and caressing, even if he didn't spend too much time on my breasts or pussy. Although his erection kept nudging my hip, he was obviously holding back. Once I was clean, he stepped away from me, picked up a bar of woodsy-scented soap and swiftly washed himself. Heavens, he was beautiful. My eyes followed every movement of his hands as they skimmed over his toned physique. Finally, he rinsed and shut off the spray. Waiting right outside was a towel warmer, with enormous fluffy bath sheets. He wrapped one around each of us before picking up a smaller towel and fluffed the dampness out of my hair."There's a fresh toothbrush, makeup remover and your brand of face cream in that drawer." He pointed. "Your suitcase should be in the bedroom by now. Do you want something to sleep in?""No." It's a little at odds with my uptight persona, but I rarely slept in a nightgown

    The open great room was beautiful. The polished hardwood floors were pale, and the furniture was comfortable and casual in shades of cream and turquoise with accents of coral and lime. Sunlight streamed in through the yards and yards of UV-filtering glass. Part of me longed to go out into the warm, semi-tropical sunshine, but I wasn't suicidal. At least in the modern era I could enjoy sunlight through filters, which hadn't been possible even thirty years ago.The great room was empty, but I heard voices coming from an adjoining space, so I turned the corner and spotted an archway leading to a spacious, gleaming kitchen. Two of the brothers were in here, Christos sitting at a breakfast bar eating while the other - Elek, based on the shoulder-length hair caught in a ponytail at his nape, was cooking something that smelled divine.Christos stood as I approached the breakfast bar. He must have the hearing of well...a cat. I smiled at the errant thought and in response to the warm, welcom

    A month later, Coop was feeling the strain of exhaustion. Every weekend, he spent in the grove, camping by day, far enough away from Kyla that no metal or plastic from his tent would contaminate the grove. As soon as the sun went down, he met up with Kyla, and they would go off to the sacred glade and make love. They'd done things he'd always dreamed of but never believed were possible - his little nymph was utterly uninhibited. Oral, anal, tied up with silken cords - there seemed to be nothing she didn't enjoy. They also spent a surprising amount of time just talking. Coop told her everything about his life, and even though she'd never seen a city, never visited a university, she was bright enough to understand when he complained about campus politics, uninspired students or the silly antics of his cousins, nephews and nieces. She even introduced him to other dryads from the grove, and he spent time talking to them as well. He enjoyed every moment he spent with Kyla, but the schedule

    Cooper's broad, strong hand smoothed down the slight roundness of her belly to the juncture of her thighs. She opened her legs, eagerly anticipating his touch, and he didn't disappoint. His fingers cupped her mound while his mouth continued to lave and suck her nipple into a rigid peak."You are so hot, so wet." He breathed the words in husky approval as he leaned farther over her to switch his attentions to the other breast. His fingers combed through the curls that covered her sex then slipped between her lips, sliding along her cleft. He caught the nub of her clit between two fingers and squeezed with exquisite gentleness, setting off a ripple of contractions in Kyla's womb. She cried out at the beauty of the sensation - not quite orgasm, but a moment of perfect tenderness. He hummed his approval and switched his mouth back to her other breast while his hand shifted slightly too. Now his thumb rubbed along her swollen clit while two thick fingers began to press into her pussy."Ye

    A volcano could have erupted beneath his feet and Coop wouldn't have been able to do anything but sit down by her side. "You said you wanted to talk." He reached out and coiled a strand of silky auburn hair around his fingers. "Is that all you had in mind?" He sure hoped it wasn't. His cock was as hard as - well - as a tree trunk."No. It has been many years - many decades since I have been with a male. I would lie with you, if you'll have me." She looked down at her lap and even in the moonlight he could see the hint of a blush tint her ivory cheek."I would be honored," he said, tucking the strand of hair behind her ear and tipping her head up to his. "But I don't have any protection with me, and I have no idea if our species can - cross-pollinate."She laughed at that, as he'd hoped she would, the teasing breaking the awkwardness between them. "Dryads are only fertile in the spring, at the same time as our trees. You need have no worries about such a thing. Although - if I were l

    Kyla held her breath as she waited for the werewolf's response. It had been a long time since she'd stepped out of her tree for anything except the occasional grove ritual. She really couldn't even remember the last time she'd been with a male of any species.Cooper stretched, and then before her eyes could take in the transformation, he stood there in his human form - his gloriously masculine human form. She blinked, but when she opened her eyes again, he was still gorgeous. His hair was dark, almost black, and just covered his ears and grazed his nape in back, showing a hint of a wave. His deep brown eyes were set in a strong, rough-hewn face with high cheekbones and dark stubble around his chin. Broad shoulders narrowed into a sculpted chest, lightly covered with a soft mat of hair and tapering down to an abdomen ridged with muscle. Her eyes dropped a little lower and she felt her cheeks flush. Oh my! He was a fine specimen indeed.Damn, he's a hot one. Nice piece of timber he's s

    You didn't have to be so mean, Kyla groused to Xera after the werewolf had left. It was nice to have someone who could hear us stop and chat with us for a change.Honey, you need to get out of your tree more often. Xera's soft-needled branches shook though there was very little wind - almost as if the tree were laughing. There's usually a satyr or two around on Samhain, and that's only a moon or so away. 'Cause, sister, you need to get out and get laid.You are such a nymph, Xera. If she'd been able to from inside her tree, Kyla would have stuck her tongue out. Stop thinking with your crotch. Sex isn't the answer for everything.You'd be surprised, youngling. Besides, we are nymphs. That's what a dryad is. Did you catch the stupidity virus from that fleabag or something?Oh, shut your knothole. With that, Kyla withdrew even deeper into her tree where she couldn't see or hear. The sun was almost up. It was time for all good dryads to go to sleep.By Monday, Cooper had pretty much c

    Part 4: Sporting WoodCoop trotted along in wolf form through the wooded grove. To a human, this area deep in the heart of the Olympic Peninsula's temperate rain forest would seem impenetrably dark, but to his senses it was awash in the silvery light of the full moon. He'd never ventured this far into the forest before, but he knew he'd be back. There was something elementally soothing about this grove - as if it had never been touched by the hand of man. All the tension of his day slipped away, even more so than it always did when he was able to shift and run through the moonlight. Here in the forest, he wasn't Professor Marceski, constantly worried about maintaining his grant funding or getting that next paper published, and he wasn't even Cooper, the werewolf. He just was.He paused beside a particularly stunning red alder tree and lifted his leg."Don't even think about it, Fido."That gave Cooper pause. He stood there, leg cocked, and studied the tree. Had it actually spoken

    "If you want, they'll probably rush through their business and be back in a few hours," Dermot said. It was his turn to lean down and kiss me good evening. "I suspect they just decided we needed some time alone."A lump formed in my throat. He was giving me the choice - to spend time with just him or to go back to being pampered by all four. It didn't take any thought for me to shake my head. "I don't mind a quiet night with just the two of us, not if you don't."His smile was slow and heated. "I can't think of anything I'd like more."I was already wet when he kissed me and rolled me onto my back. My legs automatically widened to cradle his erection against my core. He rubbed his tip against my labia, slipping between the slick tissue while his tongue plundered my mouth. Already mindless with need, I lifted my hips to take him inside. He was as impatient as I was. With no further preliminaries, he thrust deep and began to move. His hands slid between us to find my breasts, but his

    One of the others added another pillow beneath my head so I didn't have to strain my neck to reach Dermott's cock. I cradled his taut ball sac with one hand while I stroked up and down his length with my other and eagerly licked circles and around his plump crest."That's it, love. Suck me, Jess." Dermott fisted his hands in my hair and pushed himself between my open lips. I sucked hard, taking him deep to the back of my throat. My hand on his shaft kept up a steady rhythm as he thrust, fucking my mouth. I alternated suction with twirling my tongue around his tiny, weeping slit, loving every drop of his flavor.Christos hadn't let up on his attentions to my pussy. He suckled my clit while sliding two thick fingers into my cleft, curling them up to find my sweet spot. Elek nibbled on my left nipple and Theron lavished kisses on my belly and teased my navel with his tongue. Once again it was complete sensory overload, and I had to force myself to focus on Dermott. I was determined not

    After a luscious midnight lunch of gumbo and conch fritters and topped by homemade Key lime pie, I leaned back in my chair on the patio and gazed up at the stars. Once again the Leonides brothers had vanished after cleaning up the dishes, leaving Dermott and me to our own devices."I can't keep eating like this," I said with a laugh. "I won't be able to fit into any of my clothes when I get home.""I think we can make sure you get enough exercise to counteract the calories." Dermott stood and held out his hand to help me to my feet. "Any thoughts on what else you'd like to do tonight? Another swim? Sailing around the island? A movie perhaps?"How long had it been since I'd taken time to watch a movie? Maybe six months ago with Dani and Ari, back when they'd both been single? Yes. And it had been Ari's turn to pick, so it had been some sort of gushy romance. "What kind of movies do you have?""Full-scale screening room with satellite.
