She knew she should be alarmed at his persistence,young woman travelling alone,yada yada, but the game was actually giving her a tingle of pleased excitement, and it had been long since she had felt anything remotely like a pleasant tingle. Lately, her feeling had run more along the lines of dread, exhausted anger, or a crching sense of impending doom. The little buzz that the motorcycle man gave her was a refreshing as long as he stayed strictly in this place.
Annie had whiled away what would have been many long, depressing hour on the road speculating about him studying the fascinating detail of bike and his wordrobe , not to mention his powerful, gorgeous body . Three-year as a fashion buyer had trained her eye to read the silent language of his wardrobe. She had a feeling that the jacket on his back retailed for over $2,000, depending on the season, and how well things were moving on the floor . Her father had taught her enough about motorcycles to spot the sleek, sensual line of an exquisitely perserved vintage indian. The guy was speeding down the highway on a jewel of a collector's item that had to be worth at least fifty grand, if not more. Whoever he was, and whatever he did, her motorcycle man didn't spare any expense in outfitting himself . He looked great.
Annie remember the day she lost both her parents, five years ago, at the callow age sixteen, her parents was omega one of the lowest ranks in the pack, but they were happy, they live simple life as farmers , she admires her parents , they loved each other so much. But a sudden rouge attack took their live, she move to new york to live with her love and also childhood best friend ken,he was a drug dealer and womanizer, being born to the life of omega, Annie work odd jobs for the pack untill graduation when she wil be assigned to permanent job, but the sudden attack change everything,when she move in with ken her whole life change, he used and abuse her, that was why she was running in the first place. But she shouldn't dwell on the past, new york wasn't the only place in the world to make a life for herself . She would miss the bright lights and the fresh bagels, but on the plus side, she would never have to apologize to anyone for loving country music ever again.She cra
The wind whipped Jacob's shout of frustration into nothing as pulled onto the exit ramp. He' d decided that today was the day to make direct contact; enough road tag, but the touseled honey- blonde was not complying with his timetable. It was driving him nuts. He was ravenous. Didn't she ever eat? Since the day he found her after many years of looking for his mate, he sworn never to live her.He park his bike and stalked into restaurant, grumbling as he yanked off the helmet. He was restless and jazzed, and that taunting kiss she' d blown him from the pickup had given him a raging hard-on. Something about the way that luscious pink mouth puckered up just got to him. She seemed to like yanking his chain.He ordered steak, salad and a baked potato, and pulled the crumpled Kentucky road map out of his pocket to gauge how far out of his way he 'd gone in his wild pursuit. Not that he 'd really had any destination to begin with. He kept his vacation plans deliberately t
As a successful architect and entrepreneur and also a powerful Alpha, Jacob kerr had hard- time looking for his mate, now he had finally found her, he was very happy. She's beautiful. He want to mark her now . But she was mysterious girl who wouldn't stop and talk to him. But he wasn't giving- up on her.Thunder rolled, and rain started pouring as the waitress set his steaks before him. He scowled out the window. Hating the thought of his mate out there in the rattletrap piece of junk. He'd checked out out her vehicle at the camp- ground last night while she was taking her shower, all of her tires were bad, worry robbed him of his appetite. He got up and paid for the uneaten food, and stared out at the slashing rain , cursing under his breath. It was insanely stupid to go out into that weather in any vehicle, let alone a motorcycle. But he wouldn't let his mate out there all by herself,he pulled on his helmet and heeded out the door.This, too shall pass. Annie tol
Wringing water out of his ponytail. His hazel eyes dance with silent laughter."Can I sit down?""No," she said quickly.He shifted his helmet to the other arm, undaunted. His eyes swept over her appreciatively,"What's your name?" He askedShe hesitated, as if giving him her name would give him some obscure power over her.a hook into her private self. She decided to give him a fake name. jill, or monica, or Brooke. She looked into his intense hazel eyes, open her mouth and said, "Annie. ""Annie." He said her name tenderly, savoring it." Just Annie?"She gulped. "Just Annie. "He nodded. "Ok, just Annie, I 'm just Jacob. It's a pleasure to meet you last. You' ve led me on a merry Chase. ""You haven't caught me," she reminded him tartly. She took a sip of her coffee and stared up over the rim of the cup, her mind spinning with confused excitement. Six foot two and over two hundred pounds of le
Annie had been so wound up all afternoon, she'd exhausted herself to calmness by the time she set up camp that evening. She made use of the campground shower, and then stood in the front of the mirror for a long time, toothbrush in hand studying her face. Trying to imagine how how an outsider would see it . How Jacob might have seen it.She was not hoping he would show up, she told herself as she fixed her dinner-- freeze chicken and rice soup and opened a can of sliced peaches. She like him already and wanted to give him a chance "No! "I can love him" she said to herself. She'd seen the last of the sexy, mysterious motorcycle man. He was her mate , and she forced herself to forget about him, but the more she try, the more he engulf her mind. She couldn't get the thought of him off her mind. Trying to focus on her food .Suddenly the little hairs on the back of her neck prickled to attention with a long , delicious shiver. He was a long , dense shadow at the edge of the
He watched her silently for a long moment, and she tugged her shirt down again, drawing his gaze to her belly. Under the weight of his eyes, that scant inch of exposed flesh seemed outrageously intimate. She covered it instinctively with her hand. His hazel gaze dragged slowly up her body, lingering appreciatively at her breast. She stared back , fascinated by the stark, elegant planes and angles of his face. The flames of the campfires flickered and danced hypnotically in his eyes."I want to be closer to you, Annie," he said softly "Close enough so I can tell what kind of shampoo you used tonight. May I? Jacob didn't talk about them been paired together by the moon Goddess since she doesn't accept it, he decided to seduce her first, mark her and make her permanently his.Annie's lips trembled, and she clamped them together. The velvet- soft tone of his voice made her legs feel asif they wouldn't hold her if she stood, and an unfamiliar ache deep in her belly ma
Jacob stirred the embers with his stick, shooting for an air of idle nonchalance, but the huge, goofy smiles spreading across his face probably ruined the effect. The stick smoldered red-hot at the tip-----not unlike the current state of his cock. Just in case there was a God, he sent up a prayer begging for self- control to not screw this up.Annie folded her legs up against her chest and hugged them."So?" She asked belligerently. "What are you going to do now, Mark me?"He studied the rigid set of her spine, the tremor in her hands. She was scared to death. The realization sent a rush of tenderness through him. "Nothing sudden," he said gently. "Nothing scary. "Nothing rough."She twisted her hands together. Would you, um, like a marshmallow?" Her voice was shaking.Food was the last thing on his mind, but he smiled gently into her wide, anxious eyes. "Sure."Annie leaped up and rummaged through a cardboard box on the picnic table, h
The marshmallow were a stroke of luck, though, because the glistening, sugary clinging to her enticingly plump lower lip gave him just the look he needed to get things started. He leaned over and delicately lick it off , drinking in her little gasp of surprise. His stick fell into the fire as he wound his hand into her damp, silky hair. Her trembling lips opened and he slid his tongue inside. She was delicious; a fresh, unique flavour, with sweet overtones of peaches and burnt sugar. Sexual hunger slammed through him, threatening his self- control. Every luscious detail of her got to him, tossing him off balance, and he needed balance. Something told him that the first time with his mate, beautiful Annie needed to be just right. And he was shaking with raw lust, in no condition to give a peak sexual performances, after waiting for a very long time to joined with his mate, Jacob trying very hard to control his self.Annie's big gray eyes were wide with wonder, the feeling
Later, cuddled together in the sagging bed in the first roadside motel they found, Annie stretched and rested her head on his broad, warm chest. "I would never have pegged you as an architect, she said in a wondering voice. "That long hair ot yours." He gave her a guilty smile. "I thought it would ruin my bad-ass, biker dude image if I let on that I know how to iron a dress shirt. She laughed and reached for her glass, taking a lazy sip of champagne. "I thought you were going to ask me to be your biker babe, and ride off into the sunset with you on the back of your hog, although we are mate." He wrapped one of her curls around his finger and stroked it against his cheek. "You do not have any idea what I 've been passing through without you, all my thoughts was to make you mine completely when I finally found you. He kissed her hair and asked, "Would you have gone for it?" "I think you could convince me to do just about anything," she
Her heart skipped a beat, and started to gallop. Jacob stood there, his hair loose and windblown, his face.haggard and unshaven. A silver dollars gleamed in his outstretched hand. "You've got one more coin to play, Annie," he said quietly. She drank in the sight of his pale, weary, incredibly beautiful face. "I gave that dollar to you" she whispered. For luck." He shook his head. "I want more than that from you." Deep down her heart she knew what he meant, but still she said "What do you want? she forced out. His eyes burned into hers with piercing intensity for a moment, and then a brief, tired smile flashed on his face softening his harsh expression. "Everything," he admitted. She tried to laugh, but it came out like a sob. " You think big." "You better believe it," he said, reaching for her. She was losing herself in his eyes, and she couldn't fight it anymore. Her eyes filled with tears as his lips met hers wi
"For God's sake, all I asked for was a turkey club, a burger, a beer and coke. I didn't order a six course meal," Jacob barked to the lone star steakhouse hostess. "It's already been more than a half an hour!" The hostess's cherry-red mouth tightened. "It'll be right out, sir," "That's what you said the last four times," he grumbled, sinking back down onto the bench. He was as agitated as hell, his boot pounding a staccato rhythm on the floor. He covered his eyes with his hand, horrified at himself. He had never tried to intimidate a woman with his size and strength before. He had never needed to, but the resistance he sensed in Annie goaded him to keep pushing her, to break down her defenses. He couldn't seem to stop. It was like a bad dream. At this rate, his mate is giving him more hard time then he could imagined He would bring back her lunch and throw himself on her mercy. Apologize for being such a controlling asshole. He couldn't handle
And she could finally breathe. Theoretically. If she breathed too deep, the tears would start again. If she held her breath, she would pass out. She compromised with short, strangled little gasps and stared at the horrendous motel art-some sort of obscenely bright-colored mallard duck. She put her hands over her eyes to block it out, and tried to pull herself together. She had to grab onto the last, ragged, fluttering shred of her independent Will and run, far and fast. She couldn't let herself be taken Over, swept away, because he was her mate. For God's sake, the man had just fucked her practically senseless, and she still wanted him. She doubled over with a strangled laugh and pressed her face against her knees. After three short days with Jacob, the whole werewolf story, which had seemed so apocalyptic, was blotted practically out of her mind. The memory now had a tinny sense of distance, like a scary but more or less insignificant movie she
As soon as the door lock flashed green, he propelled into the room and slammed the door shut. He flung his jack on the floorand shoved her against the wall, "Those jeans drive me crazy," he growled, sliding his hands him hungrily all over her hips. "They're too small," she said shakıly. "They shrank in the wash." "They're perfect," he insisted. He wrenched open the buttons of her jeans and fell to his knees, dragging them down around her ankles.She clutched his shoulders for balance, staring down at his dark head, his thick hair straggling wildly out of its elastic band. He pressed his face against her mound, breathing in her fragrance with deep, hungry breaths, and put his hand between her legs, forcing them apart. He leaned forward and thrust his tongue into her cleft, Swirling it tenderly around and around the flushed delicate bud of her clitoris, sucking on it with slow, devastating skill until her knees sagged and she started
Annie scurried down the path, so agitated that her leg trembled and her mind spun in helpless., trapped little circles. She couldnt wait to get on the road and have some privacy. She needed distance from Jacob's intense, brooding presence so she could calm down, get the events of the last two days sorted out in her mind, She packed her stutt at triple speed at the campsite, and regarded the soggy tent with dismay. "If I pack it now, it'llmildew," she told him. "It has to dry. Go on ahead if you wanted breakfast," Jacob snorted in disgust and began dismantling her tent himself. He flung pegs and rods bundled the sodden fabric carelessly into one of the plastic sacks he had brought the night before. "You won't be using this again," he informed her.Her jaw dropped. "What the hell are you doing? That's my tent!" "You want a tent, fine," he said coldly. "We'll stop at thefirst mall we see and I'll buy you a decent one.

The rain had fnally stopped, and dawn was near. Annie listened to the birds twittering, an ache of sweet exhaustion pervading her body, and tried tO think of a way to extricate herself from Jacob's arms without waking him. It was a considerable challenge. His muscula arm was clasped around her waist; his hand splayed possessively across her belly and the tips of his long fingers tangled intimately into the hair between her legs. One long, sinewy leg was fhirmly wedged between her thighs. And he was so warm, It was hard to get up the nerve to break the seal and let cold air rush between them. She wiggled experimentally.. Jacob sighed and pulled her tighter against him, fitting her back-side against his belly. Nature called, however, so Annie gritted her teeth and flung back the warm, soft sleeping bag His arm clamped around her, as rigid as steel. "Where the hell do you think you're going?" Her muscles jerked, and she schooled her face to calmness before
When she came to, Jacob was collapsed on top of her. shivering in the aftermath of his own orgasm. He lifted himself off her with a harsh sigh, sliding slowly out of her body. She struggled upright and turned to face him. His face was as shocked and naked as she knew her own must be. She reached down with trembling hngers to pull up her jeans. "Don't bother," Jacob said, yanking off his shirt. "Take your clothes off and leave them out here. They cant get any wetter. This rain s not going to stop." The calm, practical observation grounded her a little. She tugged off her muddy shoes and peeled off her jeans.and shirt, leaving them in a wet heap on the tarp. They stood there, stark naked in the rain, staring as if they were afraid of each other, both sharply aware of the heat that licked and curled between them, wholly unabated. "Get into the tent," he said curtly. She crawled inside. Rain pounded in a soft, constant roar on the plastic rain can
