Tigers Like It Hot by Tianna Xander Page B

He glanced back at Mac. “Well, ours,” he said with a grin.
    “Shall we return to the hotel?”
    Jessi’s stomach fluttered at Mac’s question. She knew that was where they wanted to go. She knew it was where she wanted to go. Still, it didn’t make her any less nervous. They’d seen her in the body suit, which was almost a second skin, but it didn’t make her any less nervous to show them her body beneath it and all of its imperfections.
    “Is there something wrong?” Gareth stopped, shifted her in his arms and met her gaze. “There is nothing about you that will not please us.” He pressed a kiss against her lips. “I promise you, Jessi, my brave, brave girl. I love everything about you. I love your hair, I love the way it curls around your shoulders. I love that little dimple in the corner of your mouth. The one you get when you smile wide.”
    Mac moved up, pressed a kiss to her cheek and stroked her hair. “I love everything about you, as well. I love the color of your eyes, such a deep brown with golden flecks. I love your full lips and your soft, full hips. I can’t wait to see how perfect you are in the flesh. What I see with my eyes can only be as perfect as what I see with my heart. Like I said before, the mating bond works fast with our people. I love you already. My heart and my eyes only see your perfection.”
    Unshed tears burned her eyes. How long had she waited to hear something half as beautiful from a man—from anyone? The only love in her life had been Kelly. She loved her like a sister. They had been there for each other, loving each other when no one else would. Jessi was so glad Kelly had Zach and Derek. She’d been looking forward to spending more time with her.
    “Shall we take you to your room or ours?”
    It was Gareth’s question that made up her mind for her. She knew how much they wanted her. They hadn’t made it a secret, yet they were both willing to allow her to choose their course. They would wait, if that was her wish.
    “Take me to your room.” She cupped his cheek and smiled. “Take me to bed. Make me your mate. I don’t think there’s anything that I could ever want more.”
    Gareth stepped up the pace. Jessi wasn’t sure, but she suspected that he would have run all the way to the hotel if there hadn’t been witnesses. He was already showing his strength by carrying her about. Running with her would have been a spectacle.
    He did jog to the room once they hit the fifth floor. Mac opened the door and he carried her through the door and into the room.
    It wasn’t a surprise to see that they had prepared the room for her acquiescence. They had moved the nightstand and had pushed the two queen-sized beds together.
    Gareth lowered her legs until he set her feet gently on the floor, holding her until she gained her balance on the spiked heels.
    “Are you okay?” He asked, his hands gently grasping her shoulders.
    “Yes. I’m fine.” She smiled up at him, unable to believe what she’d just agreed to. These two men were gorgeous. They were beyond that. They were perfect. Even Mac with his perceived deformity was perfect in every way—at least he was, for her.
    She watched as the two men slowly removed their shirts. It was almost like a male strip show in the privacy of a hotel room. Sinewy muscle moved beneath their perfectly tanned skin, as they removed their shirts. Strong biceps bulged, their stomach muscles rippling as they unbuttoned their pants and lowered the zippers.
    Jessi’s breath caught in her throat as they kicked off their shoes, lowered their slacks to the floor and kicked them free. They now stood before her totally naked, but for the black socks that they quickly removed.
    Mac’s tail whipped around him, unable to stay still. She’d noticed earlier that his tail was rather active when he got excited. She smiled as he grabbed it in an obvious effort to keep it from knocking the floor lamp over.
    She was hot, her hormones kicking into
