Turquoise Moon

Ben held perfectly still as the beautiful female before him took a small step closer. He had no idea why she’d fled into the tree, but it wasn’t fear of him. She was fierce, deadly, and magnificent.

The muscles in her legs flexed as she took another step forward, and it took all of his concentration not to back away from her. He must confront her and see what she was made of before he let Jude near her. If she failed his test, they would still have a fun romp together, but no bonding would occur between them.

He deliberately tried to stare her down and her power hurt as it pushed at him, demanding his obedience. Deep inside his soul, his cat snarled and paced, annoyed at being kept from the female. She stood close enough that her scent should have enveloped him, but it was no stronger than before. If anything, he almost couldn’t smell her.

Heart racing in his chest, he trembled as she hovered less than an inch away, the heat of her body pressing against his chest. He would love nothing more than to free her fantastic breasts from the halter top barely holding them in place, but protocol needed to be observed. She was considered royalty among the werepumas and he didn’t want to offend her.

He also didn’t want her to think that he was a pushover.

With a warning growl rumbling in his chest, he fought the desire to offer her his throat. Doing so would signify his acknowledgement of her as his dominant, his Alpha female. She gave him a small smile and her pupils dilated with desire as she very deliberately rubbed her cheek back and forth on his chest, marking him with her scent...or lack of scent. The sensation of her plush body pressing against his shot a bolt of lust straight to his balls, which tightened in response.

“Pleasure me,” she said in a delicious purr and he gripped his hands into fists at his side, fighting her command.

“No,” he managed through gritted teeth.

She brushed her hips against his erection, her puma stroking him, demanding he let his cat out to play. He nearly gave in, but Jude’s presence surged through their connection and gave him enough strength to say, “Make me.”
