fur with her claws sheathed. A purr rose up within Abra, so loud Annie could hear it across the room.
Annie’s heart beat a little faster as she hoped that Abra didn’t let those claws out. Her cat would make a tasty breakfast for an irate tiger.
Abra gave another big yawn then bounded off the tiger. She strolled toward the bed and jumped up, landing on Annie’s legs. But there was no doubt Abra was ticked about being left behind. Tail twitching, the cat lifted her nose in the air and pretended she didn’t see Annie.
Annie couldn’t help but grin. She sat up in bed and scooped Abra into her arms. “I’m so glad to see you, Abracadabra, you little monster.” Annie closed her eyes and rubbed her face in Abra’s soft fur and smiled when the cat began to purr, obviously forgiving all transgressions.
Well, even if Annie was confused as hell, at least she had her cat.
Something large and hair-covered pushed against Annie’s arm. She froze and opened one eye to find herself face to face with the white tiger.
Chapter Five
Ice water chilled Annie’s veins as her gaze locked with the tiger’s black eyes. Her heart pounded and she squeezed Abra so tight to her chest that the cat stopped purring and gave a strangled, “ Mee-owwwrl.”
Both Annie’s eyes were wide. Still holding Abra tight, she scooted away from the tiger.
But the huge creature started to change. And not only did its features morph, but it rose up on its hind legs…and shifted into a man. White hair and black stripes to skin and long black hair and black clothing…to Karn.
Karn was a werewolf! Or make that weretiger .
He continued to stare at her with those midnight eyes, but Annie went from flat out scared to good and riled. She released her hold on Abra and the cat stalked away, jumped down and disappeared under the bed, obviously sulking at the rough treatment she’d endured.
But Annie crawled off the bed, stood just inches from Karn and poked her finger at his chest. “You scared the living daylights out of me!” She propped her hands on her hips and glared at the beast of a man.
Karn thought that his kitten was so adorable in her fury that he almost smiled. Annie’s brown sugar eyes sparked with fire and she held her chin high. The way she had jabbed at his chest and shouted reminded him of Abra the previous night…how the cat had unsheathed her claws and how her fur stood on end.
So Karn did the only thing he could.
“Don’t do that again, you half-excuse for a redneck kitty cat—” Annie was saying when he roughly caught her hair at her nape. Her words abruptly stopped as he held her in a tight grip, not hurting her, but keeping her from moving. She audibly caught her breath just before he pounced and captured her lips with his.
For a moment, she remained stiff, uncertain. Then, like a saber-toothed cat frozen for years in the ice of the Arctic and now finding the sun, she melted into his embrace.
Karn gently bit Annie’s lower lip and she moaned. The sensual sound made his cock rigid with lust. He slipped his tongue into her mouth and savored her sweet taste as he enjoyed the smell of her feminine musk and the vanilla scent of the bathing gel.
Her arousal came quickly and easily in response to his touch, building Karn’s own desires beyond his expectation.
Using his free hand to cup her ass, he pressed her tight along his length. She was warm and pliable in his arms, fitting so well in his embrace. And her kiss, the way she tentatively met his tongue with hers made him want her even more. How she nipped at his lip as he had done to her nearly drove him to throw her on the bed and fuck her fast and hard.
It took all his restraint, but he managed to pull away.
Annie’s eyes were closed, but then she blinked, looking dazed and flushed. Her lips were swollen from his kiss, her chest rising and falling as though she had just climbed a flight of stairs.
And that chest…his gaze lingered on her large,
