Description:
Professor
Seth Dustin thinks he’s alone in the world, but when he meets another
shifter, he’s forced to reevaluate his whole life. Dex Connor is
gorgeous, talented, and male—everything Seth had no idea he wanted.
However,
when Seth discovers Dex is keeping dangerous secrets from him, he must
decide if he can forgive the man who has become his closest friend, the
man who stole his heart. Seth never expected to find himself in the
midst of a territorial fight with a rival clan. He doesn’t know how to
deal with the jealous hostility of a woman who wants Dex for herself.
Love is unexpectedly complicated, but is being alone better?
Rocker,
shifter, mate: Dex is all of these, and more. Professor, shifter,
loner: Seth wants more. When two shifters meet, instinct takes over.
Where to Buy:
Story Excerpt:
“Shape
shifters have one true mate. A lot of us don’t find that person. Some
of us do and lose him, like my sister lost hers. They were so young they
never even bonded.” He lifted a shoulder. “I knew almost from the
moment I met you.”
Seth
swallowed thickly. “I think you’re insane.” He meant it nicely, but
still, Dex couldn’t imagine he would take this seriously, could he?
Dex laughed and shoved his chair away from the table. “I promise I’m not.”
Seth
leaned his elbows against the solid wood and tried to figure out what
the hell there was to say to that. His erection hadn’t flagged, either,
oh no. In fact, his cock was harder than ever and had been since Dex
said the word “mate.”
“Dex—”
he began, then stopped, shocked at how rough he sounded. He pushed away
from the table, edgy and aroused and not sure what to do with himself.
He glanced at Dex whose eyes had gone dark.
“I’m going to kiss you now,” Dex said, standing up in one graceful movement. The muscles in his arms flexed beautifully.
For a shifter who can’t shift, he certainly is in great shape,
Seth thought vaguely, then Dex’s lips were on his and he stopped
thinking at all. Dex hauled him up against his body and Seth shuddered.
This kiss was even more incendiary than the last one, maybe because he
wasn’t angry anymore, maybe because he wasn’t as shocked as the first
time. He wasn’t sure he cared why. He ran his hands through Dex’s hair
and hung on, crazily aroused by the feel of another man’s stubble
against his mouth.
“Jesus, Dex,” he panted when Dex nibbled down his jaw. “What are we doing?”
Dex growled. All the hair
on Seth’s body stood up and he pushed against Dex, trying to get
closer. The table dug into his hip and he realized that Dex was pushing
back at him, shoving him into the wood. Seth snapped. He groaned and
grabbed Dex by the shoulders, swinging him around and walking him
backwards until they hit the kitchen sink with a thump.
“Seth, fuck,” Dex said, kissing him again. Seth moaned and jammed his hands down Dex’s jeans.
“Off, take these off,” he said, hips jerking uncontrollably as Dex bucked against him.
“Seth, wait,” he said,
but Seth wasn’t listening anymore. He didn’t want to know what new piece
of annoying information Dex thought he absolutely must know. He wanted
to rut against Dex’s hard, smooth, gorgeous body until he came, and he
wanted to do it right the fuck now.
“Shut up.” Seth grunted, slipping a hand in between them to fumble at Dex’s jeans. “You talk too much and I’m done listening.”
“God, what are you—” Dex
began, but Seth had the button open now. He eased the zipper down,
breathing harshly against Dex’s throat.
“Be quiet,” Seth said, licking under his ear. Dex’s flavor burst over his tongue and he sucked in a breath as the taste of wild and hot and mine exploded in his body. “God, Dex, you taste incredible. Why do you taste so good?”
“Seth, if we do this, there’s no going back,” Dex muttered, his hands busy ripping Seth’s hoodie to shreds.
“I don’t see you
stopping,” Seth taunted, biting him again. Dex shuddered against his
mouth and he licked the spot where his teeth had just been. He loved the
way Dex moved under his touch. Then Dex pushed him away and literally
tore his hoodie off his body. “Holy shit.”
Dex smiled, fierce and possessive. “You were taking too long.”
Dex had a point. Seth
blinked, suddenly right on the fucking edge of climax. He jammed his
fist against his balls, trying to stave it off. “If you keep ripping my
clothes off me, I won’t be responsible for my actions.”
Dex dropped the pieces of
Seth’s top and reached for his sweatpants. Seth danced away. “Fuck. Let
me do it so you don’t break anything. Take your shirt off, for Christ’s
sake.”
Dex snarled, but did as
Seth asked, throwing it across the kitchen. His hair came out messy, but
it made him look even hotter. Seth stared at Dex’s body, dazed at the
sight of a huge tattoo covering most of his left hip and disappearing
into his open pants. “Jesus, that must have hurt.”
Dex ran a finger up the design. “When I lost the ability to shift, I had the clan artist ink my lost animals onto me.”
Seth
looked at the intertwined wolf and eagle and several other creatures
cavorting across Dex’s skin. He wanted to taste them, run his fingers
over them until he knew them as intimately as he knew his own. “It suits
you,” he said gruffly. He eased his sweats over his erection carefully.
When he straightened back up, he found Dex staring at him, eyes hot.
