His hands came to her hips, but now that he’d slowed her down, she was determined to show Kurt the greatest pleasure he’d ever had. She pressed against his shoulders so he would lie back then trailed her fingers down his stomach to his pants. She unfastened his pants and pulled them down. He lifted his hips to assist her.
She kneeled over him, kissing and sucking her way from his belly button to his hard cock. She grasped the base of him and tongued him.
His breath caught and his hips rose. She smiled before lowering her head and opening her mouth to engulf him.
“Yes,” he hissed out.
She bobbed her head, licking and sucking, paying close attention to the underside of his cock head where she knew he was sensitive.
Kurt bucked up into her mouth. She thrived on hearing the desperate sounds coming out of him. He tasted salty and just a tad bitter—good, a flavour that was all his own.
She stroked with her hand while going down on him, waiting until he was almost begging before popping off him. She released his cock and rubbed her hands up his thighs before she rose and skimmed her body up his.
When she reached his mouth, she took control, thrusting her tongue inside. She positioned herself over him, his cock at her entrance. She sat up and started to lower herself down.
He filled her. Oh, God! It felt so good to slowly take him inside.
Once he was in her completely, she paused. She looked down at Kurt. His bright eyes glowed up at her. She twined the fingers of both hands with his. Using her knees, she started to rise. Her head fell back at the smooth, arousing sensation. She slammed herself back down.
Yes, she thought. That was it.
She rode him slowly, tenderly, rising and falling, with their fingers locked together and moans escaping from her throat. She warmed, heated, started to sweat. Her body tightened, her clit throbbed.
Almost there. Almost. She released his hands to grip his chest for better leverage. She sped up her pace. Almost out of nowhere, the pleasure swamped her. Her body drew tight and she climaxed. It was huge. Her vision blurred and her head felt like it was full of cotton.
She came back to herself and Kurt was gripping her hard. She peered down at him.
He smiled back. “You back with me?”
She nodded weakly.
“Good.” He rolled them until she was under his body. He withdrew slowly, gaze locked on hers, before plunging deep. She cried out in ecstasy and bowed up.
The time for tenderness was over. Kurt thrust in quick, short bursts, demanding that her body come alive again. She scored her nails down his back, making him hiss. His hips moved faster.
“Again,” he panted. “Come with me again.”
She didn’t have a choice. She could already feel the next orgasm building. She grabbed the back of his neck and yanked him down. “Mark me.”
His mouth closed over the soft skin above her collar and he bit down.
She screamed as pleasure was ripped out of her. This time her sight actually blacked for an instant. Vaguely she heard him yell before feeling him find his own release.
He collapsed on top of her. She wrapped her arms around his neck and sighed. Making love with Kurt kept getting better and better. If this was what she had to look forward to, she wasn’t sure she would be able to survive it.
But damn, what a way to go.
Epilogue
Kurt glanced around the room and caught Savannah’s gaze. She looked up from the punch she was pouring and grinned at him.
It was a good night. Their friends were there celebrating Christmas Eve in the house that was now his and Savannah’s home.
Since she had been renting, it had been easy for her to move in with Kurt. She’d wanted to wait until the weather cleared, but Kurt had been determined to get her moved in completely before Christmas. With the help of their friends, he’d been able to.
The house was decorated beautifully. Red, blue and silver garlands and adornments were placed artfully around. Savannah had even hung mistletoe in the doorway of the living room. The light on the six-foot tree in the corner twinkled brightly with the seasonal music playing low.
It was a great party. He slipped away from where he’d been talking with Tony and Colt to make his way across the room to Savannah. She passed out two glasses, then seeing him, slid his way. She looked gorgeous in a long black dress with silver lining. Silver hung from her ears and swung as she walked. Her long blonde hair fell in small curls down her back and over her shoulder.
He wrapped his arms around her waist and pulled her close. “You smell good,” he whispered in her ear before nibbling down her neck.
She laughed happily. “You just like marking me,” she teased.
It was true, but since she liked him marking her just as much, he knew she wasn’t complaining.
“Can’t help it,” he told her. “Have to make sure all the men know who you belong to.”
Savannah tilted her head back. “Trust me, everyone knows.”
He chuckled. So they did. He didn’t make any secret of his relationship with Savannah. He’d been working hard to get the new Shifter Coalition started and Savannah had been right there helping him every step of the way.
His plan to have an alliance for all the shifters to help one another was coming together and had even grown more than he’d have imagined. It seemed like every shifter they’d contacted had thought it was a brilliant idea.
His outline had been picked up and expanded on. A new branch of law enforcement had been started. Governmental backing and Federal assistance had funded the United States Shifter Coalition.
There was still a lot of work to do, but he was happy with the progress they’d made in just over three and a half weeks. Positions had already been filled and local divisions were being built. Colt was the new team leader of the wolf division. Their shifter friends from Colt’s rescue—Zak, Cody and Jamie—had also all been offered jobs.
It was a start in the right direction and Kurt was proud to be involved.
“What are you smiling about?” Savannah asked.
Realising his attention had gone to work, he shook his thoughts away. “You,” he said smoothly. “I always smile when I think about you.”
She slapped his chest, obviously not buying it. “This is our first Christmas together,” she said cuddling into his arms. “Why don’t you think about that?”
He cupped her face. “I have been. We’ll have many more Christmases together.”
She hummed in pleasure.
“Look.” He nodded towards Clint. “He’s going to do it.” Kurt watched as Clint rubbed his hands nervously on his slacks.
Clint was looking over at Sara, who was laughing with Alpha Babcock and his wife Jennie.
“Are you sure she doesn’t know?” Kurt questioned Savannah. He’d gone with Clint to pick out the ring and had sworn Savannah to secrecy.
“No, she really doesn’t,” Savannah said excitedly. “This is going to be great.”
Sheriff Webb stepped into the middle of the room and held a hand up for silence. The room hushed around him and Kurt reached over to turn the music off.
“I want to thank everyone for coming tonight,” Sheriff Webb stated. “I know this is not my house, but I asked Kurt if I could have a few minutes.” He tipped his beer in Kurt’s direction and Kurt nodded in appreciation.
“The last few months have changed this town and all the residents. Everything that we’ve been through was worth it, though. I look around the room at the new friends I’ve made and know I’m blessed.”
He paused before holding a hand out to his daughter. Sara smiled questioningly but walked to him when he motioned her forward. He took her hand in his.
“I’ve also seen some beautiful relationships grow. I’m proud my daughter has found the man she was always meant to be with.”
Clint stepped up and the sheriff transferred her hand into Clint’s.
“What…?” Sara started to ask but gasped when Clint went down on one knee. “Oh, my God!”
“Sara Webb,” Clint started but had to clear his voice. “I love you, Sara. From the first time I saw you standing behind that coffee bar I knew you were the only woman for me.”
Sara’s eyes filled and Kurt gripped Savannah’s hand.
“I ask you here tonight, in front of our friends and family, if you will marry me, and mate with me in the way of my people.” He held out the ring he’d purchased the week before.
“Clint!” Sara sobbed his name.
“Will you be mine?”
“Yes!” Sara cried. “Yes, yes, yes!”
Everyone clapped as Clint rose and kissed Sara passionately.
“That was beautiful,” Savannah sniffed.
Kurt agreed, knowing that when he asked Savannah he’d have to outdo his best friend. Because he would ask Savannah the same question one day.
One day not too far in the future.
He turned Savannah in his arms and kissed her tears away.
“I love you,” he said quietly.
“I love you too,” she responded and kissed him.

Excerpt
Chapter One
“Last call! Last call!” Piper Maxwell shouted.
Jace Anderson heard the familiar words from his place at the cash register behind the bar and his blood started to pump in anticipation. His body was alive with awareness of what was to come. He turned his head to the woman who’d made the announcement. His bar manager Piper Maxwell nodded to the two bartenders while smiling at his patrons. This was the best part of the evening for him. Jace and Piper, alone, the opportunity he craved night after night.
He took the rag out of his back pocket and stepped around the bar into the seating section. He started to wipe down the empty tables to help clean up for the night. The dark wood table tops gleamed in the bar light. Smooth, quiet jazz flowed through air and comforted those within. The stained but clean oak floors had been battered but continued to hold strong.
From any seat in the house, the windowed front offered the patrons a spectacular view of the beach yards away.
Jace had opened the bar only a year ago but it was now home. Everything he had ever wanted in his life wrapped into one place. The people who worked for him were his family. The woman currently ringing up the last of the patrons’ tabs… He shook his head. Piper was one of a kind.
The closing procedures only took half an hour. He had a very efficient staff—they were well trained and all took care and helped one another. The kitchen had been shut down two hours ago so the small staff in the back had already cleaned up their stations and gone for the night. The four remaining employees, his two bartenders and two waitresses, finished up and happily waved good night.
It had been a busy shift. Steady business. He couldn’t ask for much more. Even in a struggling economy he still managed to make money.
Lifting the last stool onto the table top, he glanced out the front window and saw the moon shining bright over the water. The astounding sight always made his breath catch.
He’d moved to Blue Cove, California after his last tour of duty. Almost fourteen months ago. He’d read about the small coastal town when he had been overseas and always promised himself he would visit. Once he’d set foot on the soft sand and watched the crystal-clear waves roll, he’d known he was home.
He’d got a business loan and opened Anderson’s Lounge. Anderson’s was the only bar located directly on the beach that he loved so much. He was able to serve the locals like himself as well as the few tourists who came to town.
“That’s it,” Piper told him, switching off the back lights.
Jace tore his attention from outside to glance over at Piper pulling a bottle from behind the bar. The light of the bar was the only illumination and the sight of the beautiful woman made his breath catch. It had become their nightly ritual to share a toast to another night accomplished.
Jace always looked forward to this time. To this drink. One cocktail shared where Piper was relaxed and things tipped more personal. Or as close to personal as Piper ever allowed.
She had her dark hair pulled back into a ponytail and wore the same uniform as the other women—black shorts and Anderson Lounge T-shirt. But it was her eyes that always drew him in. What was the old saying? The eyes were the window to the soul. With Piper that was so true.
He wouldn’t describe the colour as green or brown. Hazel seemed too tame a word. The perfect combination of brown, green and yellow. Cat’s eyes, one of the employees had said before.
Guarded also. Piper kept everyone at arm’s length while still managing to take care of them all. She was always the first person to help, but never let anyone return the favour. Jace had been working on getting her comfortable with all of them but it was in rare moments that she opened to him and only him. But after a brief glimpse she would shut back down.
He’d hired her six months ago to manage the bar and staff. Her resume was packed full of experience and she had delivered with her organisation and business smarts.
Over the last several months he’d grown very fond of her. Hell, who was he kidding, he was falling for her. But she still held back. He knew she felt the same connection but very rarely did she let the longing slip.
She was careful, so very cautious around everyone, but late at night as they clinked glasses she would look at him and he could see her inner struggle to remain that way.
He worried about her habit of picking up and moving on. He knew the time was fast approaching and he’d have to deal with that soon.
Because he wasn’t going to let her go.
