Jezebel's Lion by Hazel Gower Page B

since meeting you.”
      He tilted her
head up and leaned down to brush his lips over hers. “Are you getting sick of
me?” Brandon wondered if she was tiring of him, that he was too much for her.
Some humans couldn’t handle shifter relationships. He’d heard stories of humans
leaving their mates because they weren’t shifters and the bond wasn’t as
strong. The shifter had then gone crazy and been put down. It was a reason why
shifters didn’t want human mates, and it was rare that it happened.
    “No. not at all.” She
blushed. “I messaged you so you wouldn’t come because I knew if I heard your
voice or you forgot and came to pick me up I’d change my mind.”
    He groaned as she said just the right thing. Brandon
lifted her up so he could take her mouth to his. He needed to taste her.
Jezebel wrapped her arms around his neck, and her tongue came out to meet his.
His cock became rock hard, and he was eager to take her home and satisfy the
both of them.
    A loud car horn had him pulling away from her and
wishing they weren’t in the school car park. He snarled as he noticed the
honking coming from the car Zeck and Travis sat in. Travis held his hand over
the horn.
    Jezebel let out a loud sigh, and he slid her down
his body. “I better go. Thanks for coming and seeing me.”
    Jezebel walked away from him, but before she was too
far away he strolled to her and stopped her. “I’ll pick you up from your
parents’ tomorrow morning. I have to talk to you. There is something I have to
tell you and show you.” Jezebel’s eyes avoided him, and her teeth nibbled on
her bottom lip. Crap . He’d made her
worry. He ran his fingers through his hair. “Don’t worry. I see you tomorrow.
Have fun.” He kissed her forehead and stood watching as she walked to Travis’s
car and got in, and they drove away.
    Brandon didn’t know how long he stood in the almost
empty car park calming his lion and willing his boner to go down. He couldn’t
hold back telling her anymore. He needed Jezebel with him. His soul was heavy,
and it was getting harder and harder for him to control his lion.
    Walking to his car he got in and drove over to his
parents’ to meet his brothers and organize where they would go hunting tonight.

    Jess awoke slowly snuggling into Travis’s bed. His arm
lay around her, and she looked to the floor to see Zeck snoring his head off.   Jess had missed this. They
hadn’t had a movie sleepover in a while. With all the drama with Sasha and this
last week with Brandon, they hadn’t been having too much time together. Her
birthday last weekend had been the first week in months they’d been alone just
the three of them for a weekend. God, it felt a lot longer than a week.
    Had she really been with Brandon for only a week?
Wow, she’d been with a Pride man for a whole week. She remembered what he said
to her at the school and closed her eyes. She hoped he didn’t want to talk to
her so he could break up with her. But he had said he wanted to show her
something also. He hadn’t acted like he wanted to break up with her. Maybe she
should give him a rest from her. She could spend her weekend with Travis and
Zeck. Sitting up she glanced at the clock. It was early. She eased out of
Travis’s hold and went to her bag.   Jess
debated if she should call Brandon or just message him. Messaging him was
safer. Getting her phone out Jess messaged Brandon. “Spending
weekend with friends. Will see you Sunday night.”
    Glancing around the room at her two best friends she
fought with herself before she hit send. Time without Brandon would be good for
her. She was falling hard for him. Not only was he amazing in bed, but he cared
for her and was very affectionate. And she secretly loved his possessive, dominating
way with her.
    Putting the phone in the bag before she phoned him
and told him not to worry about her message and that she’d see him later today
she got back in bed and closed her eyes. She should be
