me.” He leaned close to kiss her cheek, reveling in her softness. Already his scent melded with hers. He wondered if she realized it, or what that might mean. “You make me so hard all the time.”
She squirmed, and he scented her attraction as well. Time to get another taste of that sweet cream, he thought with a grin.
“Bad bird. Concentrate on the movie, okay?” She nodded at the screen.
Cullen ignored her and nipped at her throat, enhancing the mark he’d left just yesterday. She moaned and tried halfheartedly to move away. And then he felt her hand on his crotch.
“ Sarah .”
At that moment, the phone rang.
“Shit.”
Sarah laughed, a girlish giggle, and he stared blankly at her. “Answer the phone, kitty.”
“I’ll give you a kitty,” he grumbled and awkwardly stumbled off the couch toward the cordless handset across the room. “I’m all about eating pussy,” he said loudly enough that she heard.
She turned a bright red. He laughed, eager to show her what more he could do with his tongue.
“Yeah?” he barked into the phone, wondering which idiot brother had gotten the short straw tonight.
Thankfully, his family hadn’t called in a few days, which made him think their visit progressed as it should.
“Cullen?”
“Who the hell do you think it is?” he snarled at his youngest brother, Ian.
“Yeah, I miss you, too.”
Cullen sighed. “What’s up? I just talked to Micah a few days ago. How’s Canada treating you?”
“Ah, about that. Seems we’ll be heading home soon. Probably be back in a few days instead of a few weeks.”
“Oh?”
“Mom and Micah pissed off the wrong people. Golden Eagles are in high demand up here, and when Micah refused to marry the clan leader’s daughter, all hell broke loose.”
Cullen snorted. Trust Micah to piss off the wrong people. “Nice. What about Sean? He okay?”
“Actually, he kind of insulted a few members of a visiting bear clan. He’s winging his way home as we speak. Mom forced him to leave when he thought about taking on some grizzlies.”
Sean was a major pain the ass. Always up for a good fight, he did most of his thinking with his fists instead of his brain. “Great. Well, be glad you missed this last snowfall.” A snowfall that’s melting way too 41
fast for comfort. Oh, and by the way, the raptors will probably want my head on a platter for injuring five of their predatory females.
“Missed this last snowfall? Genius, I’m up here in Canada. It’s not like I’m getting a tan.”
“Dick.”
“Ass.” Ian paused. “Sounds like everything’s good. See you later, then.” He hung up.
Great. His mother and brothers would be back soon. Not only did he have to protect Sarah from outraged raptors who would descend once the weather cleared, but he had to warn her about his odd family as well. They put the “D” in dysfunctional, but hey, they were family.
Letting out the breath he was unaware of holding, Cullen decided to worry about his family later.
Right now, he had a movie to watch and a woman to love.
“Everything all right?” she asked as he rejoined her on the couch.
“Fine.” He paused. “I think Sean will be here in the next few days. Remember, he’s the family pain in the ass.”
Silence. Then she said, “I look forward to meeting him.”
He let out a breath. She hadn’t mentioned leaving. “Yeah. Well, just remember I warned you.” He forced his hand to graze hers while they fought for the popcorn in the bowl on her lap. “Feed me, woman.”
He directed her hand to his mouth.
“Baby.” Sarah smiled as she said it and pushed a piece of popcorn between his lips.
Cullen sucked her fingertip before she eased it away, but not before he saw the flash of desire in her eyes. That burnt amber gaze drew him time and time again, like looking into golden rays of light as the sun set.
“Salty.” He shook his head and moved the popcorn off her lap. “But I’m in the mood for something
