Her blue eyes flashed hungrily "Why are you stopping?" With flushed cheeks and swollen lips, she looked good enough to eat He wouldn’t even have to take her sweater off He could just push her jeans down and slide into her He could use his body heat to keep her warm

But she deserved better than that and he didn’t want their first tiround "Your teeth are practically chattering" He tugged her sweater fully back in place

She started to shake her head when she shivered again This time it was more pronounced and she leaned closer into his eht," she murmured "But if we hurry, we can be back to the ranch soon"

His cock jurabbed her jacket and helped her into it Wordlessly, she zipped it up, then headed for the horses while he packed up No more words were necessary Once theyto sink inside her and stay that way for hours

We need to talk Connor’s voice sounded loudly in Liam’s head as he and December arrived back at the ranch Not all shifters, even related ones, could communicate in telepathic form, but he and Connor could But they didn’t do it all the time If they could call or text each other, they often chose that option Liam was especially careful about that now that his brother wasbusy with his mate

I’m with December We’re about to put the horses back in the stable Can it wait?

No Meet ot to talk toback to the house by yourself?" he asked as December closed the stable door

She shook her head and her cheeks tinged red He couldn’t tell what she was thinking, but whatever it was, it was good for hi off her was so potent, she was practically coot her naked and underneath hi back for either of them
