possible.
    “Okay, I’m sure there’s a lot more information you haven’t told me, but enough serious stuff for right now,” Tessa told Mitch as she pushed her plate away and stood. She held out her hand, and he eagerly took it.
    “Where are we going?” Mitch asked.
    “Well, Nico got to see your lion. I figured it was only fair that I got to as well. The day I broke in and earlier don’t count. I want to be able to see you close-up and pet you.”
    “Baby, I’m not sure I can handle that.”
    “Why? What’s wrong?” Tessa was confused. Why had it been okay for Nico to touch him, but not her?
    Mitch sighed. “Nothing’s wrong. I just don’t want to scare you off.”
    “Don’t worry. I won’t run screaming again.” Tessa had a feeling there was more to his hesitation, but she ignored it and pulled him into the living room. She figured he would tell her what was bothering him when he was ready.
    Tessa returned to the couch she had been lying on earlier and sat. She waited patiently for Mitch to finish whatever argument he had going on in his head. When he suddenly pulled his T-shirt off, she gulped and almost choked herself. Mitch only smirked and continued. He slid his hands along his waistband of his shorts a couple times, and her eyes tracked every movement. She had a feeling he was playing with her as he slowly slid his shorts down his thighs. Tessa felt like she was watching a sexy striptease and reached up to make sure she didn’t have drool running down her chin.
    Unfortunately, Mitch bent over, blocking his cock before she could get a good view of it. Her disappointment was quickly forgotten when, in a blink of an eye, Mitch was gone and a huge lion was standing in his place. Tessa wasn’t sure what she expected the change to be like, but she certainly hadn’t expected it to happen so quickly and easily.
    “Mitch?” She hesitated before standing and taking a step toward him. The lion nodded its head and then lay down on the floor. She took it to mean that it was still Mitch in there. Slowly, she finished walking toward him chanting nice kitty over and over again in her head. When she got close, Tessa reached her hand out and ran it through the golden fur around his head.
    “Wow, it’s so much softer than I expected.”
    Mitch just purred and closed his eyes. Tessa wanted to laugh. If someone had told her three weeks ago she was going to end up running for her life right into the arms of a man that could transform into a lion, Tessa would have run the other direction thinking they had lost their minds.
    “You’re beautiful,” she told Mitch as she sat down beside him.
    Tessa squeaked when Mitch’s paw landed on her leg and he easily pulled her closer to him like she weighed nothing. She could feel the strength and muscles under his fur, but she could tell that he was taking care not to hurt her.
    “I’ve never even seen a lion at the zoo, and now I’m actually petting one.” Tessa laid her head on his side and listened as his purring got louder. Obviously Mitch was satisfied that she was close to him and not running. She was content to just sit quietly and listen to his purring as it soothed her. For the moment she was happy just to be able to sit with him and relax.

Chapter 6
     
    The sound of a car turning into his drive pulled Mitch from his nap he had been having with Tessa. As his ears perked up and he listened to see who had entered his territory, he glanced down at his mate curled into his side. She was perfect. The way she had taken all the information he gave her and not had a complete meltdown showed how strong she was.
    Mitch could only hope that when he told her she was his mate and what that meant to him, she would take that easily as well. We should have told her while we were naked. You saw how she was drooling over us. She would have done anything at that moment. Yeah, his lion did have a point. As Mitch had undressed, the smell of Tessa’s arousal had grown stronger
