Reclaiming the Wolf (Cascade Shifters Book 1) by Jessie Donovan Page B

full name, I know to leave it be.” He moved to the doorway and decided to take a chance. “But I’m going to let you know now, Kaya Alexie, that once we ensure your clan’s safety, I’m going to pursue you full-on. I spent all last night thinking of every way I want to fuck you, and I plan on recreating each and every scenario.”
    She paused with her coffee cup halfway to her mouth and he could smell her arousal. One night wasn’t going to be enough for her, either.
    With that, he smiled and shut the door behind him.
    The words had just come out, but he was glad he said them. With any luck, she’d now think about him in the shower.

    Since becoming clan leader, Kaya had rarely had the opportunity to leave GreyFire’s land. In truth, it had been about two years since she’d last been in Seattle, and she hadn’t been able to see much when they’d arrived late last night. Now, in broad daylight, she could see and drink in the eclectic mix of modern glass buildings nestled right next to old brick ones. Since it was a rare blue-sky day, she could also see the beautiful mountains to both the west and east of the city with the dark blue water of the Puget Sound in between. Sure, she lived in the Cascade Mountains to the east, but there was something almost magical about seeing the snow-topped peaks at this distance.
    All too soon, Sy turned their car into an underground parking garage beneath one of the office buildings and the sights of downtown were replaced with a low-lit concrete contraption. She might live inside a mountain, but at least her den had ample lighting and air circulation. Her inner wolf itched to get back outside.
    Sy turned off the ignition and Kaya couldn’t exit the car fast enough. She moved toward Sy, but as soon as she was within arms’ reach, he hauled her up against his chest. She gasped at the hard muscles pressed against her breasts and her nipples betrayed her by going hard. She looked up into his eyes and her voice was breathy to her own ears as she asked, “What are you doing?”
    Sy gave a wicked smile and squeezed her tighter against him. Then he leaned down to her ear and whispered, “You’re supposed to play the part of my girlfriend, remember? Since anyone could be watching, we can’t turn it on and off. Shifters like touch, and when we’re in public, I’m going to keep you glued to my side.”
    She was about to give him a harsh whisper scolding when he bit her earlobe and she drew in a breath. As he licked at the bite, her heart rate kicked up and warmth spread through her body. He bit her again, and she grasped the shirt on his chest as wetness rushed between her legs.
    Damn it, her body responded far too easily to his.
    Sy growled and stopped his attentions to whisper, “I can smell you, Kaya. Tell me I can fuck you again later, or I’ll never be able to concentrate during our upcoming meeting.”
    The images she’d had in the shower of Sy fucking her against the cool tiles while hot water cascaded over their joined bodies came rushing back. Before she could stop herself, she said, “How can you still do this to me, and make me want you? By all rights, I should still hate you for standing me up at our engagement ceremony ten years ago.”
    Sy nuzzled her cheek. “Did you ever think maybe all of that was supposed to happen, and only through our mistakes and maturing apart, could we fit together better in the future?”
    She pushed against his chest and Sy leaned back. As she stared into his green eyes, she wished she could fall for his pretty words and see what happened, but too many people were counting on her right now. Whatever the hell was going on between them would have to wait. “We need to go or we’ll be late for our meeting.”
    His jaw set in a firm line, but then he leaned down and placed a gentle kiss on her lips. The touch was fleeting, and she barely registered it before his warmth was gone. Sy released her and held
