Read Online Jezebel's Lion by Hazel Gower - Free Book Online

“Jess had a free
period, and so did Travis. They left early to go shopping.”
    “What?”
    “She didn’t know you were picking her up though.
Really, bro, you should have told her.”
    “Where? Which mall?” he snarled.
    “Maybe you should wait until she goes home?” Mac’s
comment had him turning to him ready to lunge. He held his hands up. “Okay,
looks like we are going to the mall, Britney. There is no way we can let your
brother go by himself. He’s likely to kill poor Travis.”
    Britney giggled and covered it with a cough as he
growled at her. “How about you follow Mac and me?”
    Brandon knew he needed to calm down, so he nodded
and got back in his car. He reminded his lion that their mate was human, and
she didn’t know what going out by herself meant let alone with another male.
    The drive to the mall was done in busy traffic. With
it being close to Christmas, the malls were filling up. He found a parking spot
closer than Britney and Mac. He didn’t bother waiting for them.   Brandon got out of his car, locked it, and
walked into the mall dialing Jezebel’s mobile.
    “Hello.”
    “Where are you?” Clearing his throat when he
realized how rough his voice sounded, he sighed. “Jezebel, I’m in the mall that
you’re in. I ran into Mac and Britney, and they told me you’re here.”
    “Hi, Brandon, I was going to call you. I didn’t
realize how late it was. I guess I got sidetracked. Poor Travis, I’ve been
dragging him around everywhere.”
    Eager to be with his mate, he let his lion out just
enough that his senses picked up more smells in the hopes he might find hers.
“Where are you? I’ll come to you.”
    He heard her laugh. “We just walked into the Siren
lingerie store.”
    Brandon knew where that was. He wasn’t far. He
practically ran to the shop.
    “Poor Travis is blushing so much we may get asked to
leave.” Jezebel giggled.
    “I’ll be there in a moment.” He hung up before he
broke the phone from the deadly grip he had on it.
    The shop came into sight, and he pushed through the
mass of people and charged into the shop. The sales assistant’s eyes lit up at
the sight of him. “Can I help you?” Her gaze devoured him.
    Brandon ignored the sales assistant for a moment and
searched for Jezebel. He moved further into the store and spotted Travis
standing nervously near a changing room. His lion roared in his head. The smell
of their mate was very faint. He prowled toward Travis. If he’d seen Jezebel in
anything he’d tear him to shreds.
    The sales assistant came and stood in front of him.
“Sir, you can’t go back there. Can I help you?”
    Brandon narrowed his eyes on the woman and knew they
would be flashing from green to gold. “Yes, I can go back there. My mate … girlfriend
is back there.” He picked the woman up and moved her out of his way.
    Travis’s eyes widened when he saw him, and he opened
his mouth to say something but shut it when Brandon walked straight into the changing
room he knew Jezebel was in. Jezebel stood in a sexy little red lacy number.
She didn’t smell right. He gathered her to him, not caring where they were, and
breathed her in. Jezebel reeked of Travis.
    “Brandon, get out and let me get changed. You could
have waited for me outside. You didn’t have to come in here.”
    “You don’t smell like me. What has Travis done to
you?” His voice sounded gravelly and animal-like even to him.
    “Ma’am, are you okay in there? Sir, you have to come
out.” The sales assistant’s voice had him battling for control.
    Moving so he caged Jezebel in and he could rub his
scent on her he whispered in Jezebel’s ear. “Tell her you’re fine and we’ll be
out in a moment.”
    Jezebel stared up into his agonized face as he
fought for control with his lion, trying to keep from taking Jezebel here in
the change rooms to enforce his scent and who she belonged to. “Thanks for
checking, but I’m fine. We’ll be out in a moment.”
    “Okay.
