Goal: A Mate (Bachelor Auction #2)
beaded on her brow. Her blouse was too thin and her skirt cumbersome and unnecessary. Arousal poured into her like air from a bellows, stoking gusts of need along her limbs and around her torso. Tingles raced along her inner thighs and danced along her pussy lips. Her nipples tightened to aching points. A buzz started in her head as snippets of past dreams drifted up from her subconscious to fade to black after a second. So many fantasies, so many needs, and so many years of denial.
    “Do you? Say it,” he urged.
    She glanced over at him. His profile was indecipherable. No readable emotion showed, not even in his eyes, which were directed to the road ahead, or his lips, which were a thin line. His fingers flexed and tapped along the top of her leg. She released him.
    “Say it, Kelly.”
    The command rippled along her spine. Something inside of her snapped. After all the years of ignoring her attraction to him, now she could finally claim him. The fog that swathed her mind cleared for a moment, and she could see the implications of giving in. It would stop all the other wolves from circling around her. She’d be claiming her man, her mate. There was still the alpha thing to deal with, but they’d both be getting what they wanted.
    The dam broke. Desire flooded her body as the wolf released its mating heat all at once. This wasn’t a gradual building leading up to a full moon shift. No, this was what the animal had been holding back since the moment Kelly had recognized Brandon for what he truly was to her.
    “Kelly?” The golden beams of the headlights illuminated Brandon’s cabin. She hadn’t been there for years. The last time… Memories rushed over her. She and Reenie had been there to help him paint. He’d been walking around without a shirt due to the exertion and heat. Just watching the muscle and sinew ripple under golden skin, exposed and glistening in sweat, brought to mind images of limbs entwined, flesh marred by bruises and bite marks, his dark hair slicked back, desire blowing his pupils wide, passion tightening every line of his face, hunger and possession in every caress and kiss.
    It had been too much for her. She’d sneaked off to get some relief.
    Caught up in the haze of that memory, her hips pushed up off the seat. He moved his hand and gripped her hip, pushing her down.
    “Say it, Kelly,” Brandon growled.
    The musk of pheromones filled the SUV, making it seem smaller. There was nowhere to go and no way to escape. She didn’t want to flee. The fire inside of her peaked, burning away her excuses. She squirmed as her pussy clenched and moisture soaked her panties. The perfume of her need joined his musk.
    “I want you.” The words came out in gust. Each syllable soaked in desire, frustration, and long-withheld emotion.
    “No. All of it,” he ordered. The click of the lock on the seat belt drew her attention.
    She turned to stare at him. He shifted in his seat to face her. So many feelings slipped over his features. She saw the same turmoil that she had gone through over the years reflected back at her. Without hesitation, she reached out and cupped his face. “I want you. You’re my mate. I want this. You. All of it. I can’t deny it anymore. Now kiss me.”
    A dark grin curved his lips and heat glinted in his eyes. With shaking hands, she reached down and undid her seat belt. He reached up and turned on the overhead light. Then he pushed back the driver’s seat and grabbed her wrist. With gentle strength, he a pulled her over the console. It took some maneuvering and care, but she managed to straddle his lap with her knees on the seat. He moved his touch from her arms, down to her hips, pulling her forward until she could feel the ridge of his erection pressed against her stomach. There was no fear that he would disapprove of her. From her faded makeup on her face to the rolls that would be exposed once undressed, she felt beautiful. He had always complimented her figure, made her
