Cob Brothers Series, Book Three
When
Prince Kedrik Cob sees the sexy man in leather decorating the store
window, he knows he has to see him again. Unfortunately, his date for
the night doesn’t figure in his plans, so he continues on his way. His
mind doesn’t let him forget about the handsome stranger, so a few days
later, he finds himself returning to the store.
Cadell
Shumaker has watched Kedrik for most of his life. After following the
man from Aria to Earth, he places his store right in Kedrik’s path.
Despite his positioning, it takes a while before Kedrik notices him and
falls into his arms. Unfortunately, when Kedrik finds out Cade isn’t as
innocent as he appears and a certain shape changing spell takes effect,
more than a little magic is needed before this couple can make their way
to happily ever after.
Excerpt:
Kedrik
was walking down the sidewalk with his flavor of the night, whose name
he’d already forgotten, when a man in a shop window caught Kedrik’s eye.
He noticed the stranger’s hands—long fingers carefully positioning a
pair of women’s heels in the window. The unknown person stole Kedrik’s
breath as well as his attention, halting him in his tracks.
Lust hit him so hard he thought he’d been blindsided—by a train or a semi or something really big and fast.
Everything
he had went hard when he saw the leather boots the man wore. They were
black, curved up his calves and had shiny silver buckles Kedrik longed
to undo with his teeth.
“Hey, Kedrik.”
A tugging on his arm had him turning an annoyed gaze to his date, Phil, or Peter or something. “What?”
“I thought we were having dinner, not staring at the dude in the window?”
Just
then, the man they were talking about turned, and Kedrik felt a punch
of desire right in the gut. Intense green eyes, as rich as any forest,
locked with his and made him shiver with need.
A connection strummed between them. Kedrik had to forcibly jerk his gaze from the sexy man. “Yeah, let’s go.”
Every
step he took farther away from the shop felt wrong. His instincts told
him to rush back and beg the man for attention, but he resisted. Princes
didn’t beg.
Straightening
his spine, he gave his date a brilliant smile and was pleased when his
companion’s eyes glazed over with lust. Maybe taking the guy home and
screwing his brains out would get rid of some of the overpowering need
jolting through his system.
* * * *
Two
days later, he stopped in front of the shop again. He couldn’t get the
man out of his mind despite a couple more nights of hard sex. Last
night, he could only come when he imagined having those big hands across
his skin.
A
closer examination of the store showed it was high-end shoe shop. The
kind of place people spent a lot of money to pamper their feet with
leather shoes that looked to be hand stitched and made from premium
hide.
Curiosity made him open the door while need had him searching the store for the handsome man from a few nights before.
“Can I help you?”
The
female voice behind him churned his stomach in disappointment. An
extremely pretty woman with shocking pink hair and a black leather
bustier over a white blouse smiled at him. When she stepped out from
behind the counter, Kedrik saw she wore a short leather skirt, black
stockings and ankle length leather boots. She looked good but not half
as amazing as the sex god of his dreams.
“I
saw this place when I walked by the other night. I thought I’d check it
out,” Kedrik confessed. He’d rather examine the man in the window, up
close and personal, but it didn’t look as if the leather-clad honey
would be on the menu today.
He
had to admit, the level of despondency he felt over not getting to talk
to a complete stranger was over the top. Turning to the first rack he
reached, he began to look at the wares, halfheartedly glancing over some
shiny tasseled loafers. His interest in the goods paled next to his
interest in the man.
“Well,
let me know if you need help with anything.” Her tone invited him to do
whatever he wanted with her, but he’d never been the type to play with
girly bits.
“I’ve got this one, Jane.”
A
deep, delicious voice sent shivers up and down Kedrik’s spine. Turning,
he met a pair of familiar green eyes and a voice inside him whispered.
I’m sooo in lust.
“I’m Cadell Shumaker. The owner of this place.”
The
gorgeous man wore a form hugging T-shirt with a leather strap tied to
his right bicep. A pair of black jeans covered his lower half. Kedrik
couldn’t tell because of the jeans, but he thought the boots were the
same ones the man had worn the other night.
An
odd outfit for a shoe store, but Kedrik’s rapidly beating heart
couldn’t find any fault in it. Kedrik’s cock rose at the testosterone
pouring off the sexy man. Never one to deny himself, Kedrik knew he’d
pounce as soon as he had the opportunity. He didn’t hold the title of
family slut for nothing.
He accepted the hand held out to him. “I’m Kedrik Cob.”
Cadell
had met many, many pretty boys in his life. Kedrik Cob put them to
shame. But then he’d been in love with the prince since childhood, so he
knew Kedrik’s features better than anyone else in his life. Kedrik’s
blond hair hinted more at gold than ordinary yellow, his face had high
cheekbones, liquid brown eyes with flecks of gold and flawless
honey-tinted skin that begged for Cade’s hand to mark it up. To top it
all off, his body was the work of Cade’s dominant dreams.
Kedrik
wasn’t the typical skinny twink, although he barely came to Cade’s
shoulder. The younger man had a tight, muscular build that showed he
knew how to take care of himself. Cade knew Kedrik had earned his
physique from horseback riding and other outdoor pursuits. Now, finally,
he had a chance to meet him one-on-one and maybe claim his prize.
When
Cade had seen the man the other night, it had taken all of his
self-control not to chase the man down the street and physically take
him from his date. He could tell the man Kedrik had been with was
unworthy. After all, he wasn’t Cade.
Cade tilted his head toward Jane, telling her to help the customer who’d just come in. No one got to help Kedrik but Cade.
“Is there something you’re looking for?”
Kedrik
stared Cade up and down. His gaze, more a visual caress than a mere
glance, made Cade harder than hell. When had a man ever turned him
inside out with only his eyes? Never. His mother had done a damned fine
job when she’d chosen Cade’s mate.
“I
think I found what I was looking for.” Kedrik stepped closer and for
the first time, Cade almost stepped back from another man’s challenge.
“You
think so?” Cade teased. Seeing Jane busy with a customer, Cade grabbed
Kedrik’s wrist and dragged him to the backroom behind the “employee’s
only” door. Pulling it open, he yanked Kedrik inside and locked the
handle behind him. “You think you can handle me?”
Beneath
Kedrik’s gaze, he pulled off the tie around his arm. With quick,
practiced motions, he yanked Kedrik’s arms behind him and bound his
wrists together. The younger man made a soft sound.
“If I’m going too far, too fast, you say stop, and I’ll stop.” If Kedrik said he’d had enough Cade would end everything.
Kedrik
wiggled his arms a bit. “I’m good.” Lust made his pupils look large as
he gazed up at Cade. Kedrik licked his lips. The swipe of his pink
tongue left his lips wet and welcoming.
Unable
to resist the allure, Cade plunged his fingers into Kedrik’s silky hair
and pulled him to his toes so he could plunder the soft, tempting
mouth.
Sweet.
The
hot, beautiful man tasted like sugar beneath Cade’s tongue, making him
wonder what Kedrik had eaten before he’d come to hunt down Cade. He
liked a man who knew what he wanted, especially this man that Cade had
waited so long for.
Yanking
Kedrik higher on his toes, Cade put him off balance until Kedrik had to
let Cade support him. His lean, muscled body relaxed against Cade,
their erections brushing together as desire hit him with a tsunami-like
force.
He gave Kedrik no choice as he pushed the smaller man against the wall and lifted him by his ass. “Wrap your legs around me.”
Cupping
Kedrik’s butt cheeks, Cade held Kedrik up between his body and the
wall. Their cocks pressed together causing dual moans. He stopped caring
if the entire world heard them. There was nothing but heat, need and
Kedrik.
Cade broke the kiss to dip down his head and bite Kedrik’s neck.
Mark him.
This
man needed to have a sign that he belonged to Cade. He’d never felt
this level of possessiveness before. Of course, none of his other lovers
had been marked as Cade’s mate since early childhood, but Kedrik didn’t
know that yet.
Cade bit again, pleased when Kedrik’s hips convulsed against him.
“Mine,” he growled against Kedrik’s skin. “You don’t let others touch you.”
Kedrik moaned, rubbing against him.
Cade pinned Kedrik’s hips. “No. Repeat after me. I belong to Cade.”
The blond shook his head. “No. I…”
“Belong to me!” Cade insisted. “Say it!”
“I belong to you.” Kedrik sighed as if a great weight had lifted off his chest with those words.
“Good. I’m gonna make you come and then you’re going to suck me. Understand?”
Kedrik nodded. “Yes, please.”
