He craves Kelly, but she’s pushing him away…

neither Kelly nor Jacob will be able to control their inner beasts. Who knows
what the consequences will be when they are consumed by unquenchable animal
lust…

Excerpt 1:
With Jacob this close, it took every
ounce of focus to keep my thoughts on the impending exam. More than once, I
caught myself staring at his lips wondering how soft they’d be as they kissed
my skin. I only hoped he didn’t notice my glances that might make things highly
embarrassing.
The fresh scent of my clean sheets ever
so slightly mixed with his musky, warm aroma that fascinated me to no end. The
way his hair moved when he turned his head in my direction caught my attention.
His presence in the apartment made life seem more bearable, from the studying
to the incredibly noisy neighbor who thought everyone wanted to hear his heavy
metal albums all throughout the night.
“Think you’re up for a break, Kelly?”
He shut his textbook with a loud clap and quirked his lips to one side. “We’ve
been going at it for a while now.”
My notecards toppled from my hands, and
I jerked back, caught off-guard by his words. “Uh, yeah...” If we’d really been
‘going at it,’ I would’ve refused to take a break. Stop thinking about him like that. “Yes, that sounds good. Want
something else to drink? Maybe a coffee or Coke?”
The amused twinkle in his emerald green
eyes melted my insides. Maybe studying on my bed hadn’t been the best idea.
However, the dinette set would barely be enough room for one of our textbooks,
let alone...
“Water.” Jacob leaned over me, brushing
his palm over my exposed knee as he reached for the fallen study cards. “It’s
kind of hot in here, isn’t it?”
He had to be kidding me. With him this
close, it was like a sauna in here. I wanted to touch him, show him that all of
this flirting was more than I could handle. My heart pounded in my ears. If I
didn’t do something to him soon, I might explode.
As if on cue, he turned to face me. Our
lips were barely inches apart, and I saw flecks of gold in his green eyes.
Seconds ticked by. Was he going to make a move? I didn’t have the strength to
sit by and not take this chance. Not if it meant this brief encounter would
pass by forgotten.
I leaned into him. The moment our lips
touched, a spark of lust... desire... chemistry burned its way inside me. One
brush of lips wasn’t nearly enough. My body thirsted for more kisses.
Jacob froze in place, and I wondered
for a split second if what I felt was only me. Maybe the flirting had been
meaningless to him. He pulled me up so we stood beside my bed. His messy blond
hair brushed across his forehead, and I ran my hand through his hair, savoring
the softness.
He held me ever closer, his lips
caressing mine. The kiss was gentle, careful as if afraid to take things too
fast. This moment was heaven.
My arms circled his neck of their own
volition, and I trailed my hands down Jacob’s back. The hard muscles flexing
beneath my fingertips sent heat coursing through me. This so wasn’t a good use
of our study time, especially now that final exams were on top of us, but I
really didn’t care.
He’d been the only stable thing in my
life since I’d come to college last September. We had three classes together
that first semester, which was kind of crazy, but I didn’t mind. Ever since, we
planned our courses together, as much as we could, at least.
Two of the three classes we had this
semester were science and math, so I didn’t hesitate to take him up on study
sessions. Fortunately, the last was English, my forte.
Jacob nibbled on my ear lobe, and
tingles of pleasure blanketed my body. “Your skin is so soft, Kelly.” He slid
his hands along the hem of my skirt stroking the backs of my thighs, the
intensity of his touch growing less controlled by the second. His palm brushed
against my backside.
If this kept up, we’d hit the point of
no return. The simple kiss had gone far beyond what I’d anticipated. While I
really enjoyed making out with Jacob, I wasn’t ready for sex with him. Intimacy
shouldn’t be rushed. I wanted to wait for the right one, for a committed
relationship. One-night stands weren’t in my vocabulary.
Besides, why give something away too
fast? Most guys moved on after sex, right? Not that I suspected Jacob was that
way. Besides, I counted on him studying with me. Without his help, my chances
of doing well on finals for College Algebra and Physics were slim to none.
He slid his hands higher as his tongue
slipped down the length of my neck, making my insides weak along with my
self-restraint. A moan rasped from my throat, and for a moment, I wasn’t sure
that had been my voice.
Could
going to bed with him be that bad?
