Animal Attraction by Paige Tyler Read Free Book Online

her with those incredible gold eyes of his. This close, she could see that they were flecked with green and edged with a light brown. He really did have the most gorgeous eyes she’d ever seen.
    Her pulse quickening, Eliza tilted her head back and licked her lips, silently begging Hunter to do what she’d been longing for him to do since she’d first met him, and kiss her. She imagined him threading his fingers in her hair, tilting her head back, imagined his mouth plundering hers. The fantasy was almost enough to make her sway on her feet, and she found herself reaching back with one hand to grab the countertop. Dear God, how would she react if he actually did kiss her? She couldn’t believe she was so turned on by a man she’d just met. She didn’t even care that she barely knew him. Her body craved his touch so completely that it felt as though she would die if he didn’t kiss her right then.
    As if reading her mind, Hunter bent his head to cover her mouth with his. The kiss was gentle, his mouth moving over hers tenderly, almost experimentally, and she melted against him with a little sigh. He tasted of wine and steak sauce, and something else that was difficult to put a name to. But it was decidedly male and unbelievably intoxicating.
    All at once, Hunter deepened the kiss, his mouth moving more urgently over hers, as if he suddenly couldn’t seem to get enough of her. His tongue invaded her mouth, claiming hers as its mate even as he slid one hand into her long hair to tilt her head back further. Eliza let out a soft moan of pleasure. She had been kissed by a lot of men, but never like this. When it came to kissing, Hunter McCall was in a class all by himself.
    “God, you taste sweet,” he said hoarsely, his breathing ragged from their kisses, his mouth hovering temptingly over hers. “I want you, Eliza.”
    “Yes,” she breathed. The word a husky whisper on her lips as she pulled him down for another kiss. This time, it was her tongue that sought his, intent on exploring every inch of his tasty mouth. She didn’t care that they barely knew each other. She wanted him and, right then, that was all that mattered.
    With a groan, Hunter swung her up in his arms and headed for the stairs. She didn’t know how he managed to find his way out of the kitchen, through the living room, and up the steps while still kissing her. He must have an uncanny sense of direction, because before she knew it, they were in his bedroom. Only then did he lift his head and set her down on her feet.
    In the light coming from the hallway, Eliza saw that his eyes smoldered with the same passion she was feeling, and she felt her pulse skip a beat. She let out a moan at the fire racing though her. She’d never experienced such desire with another man.
    Eager to see if he really was as well-built as she thought, Eliza ran her hands over his shoulders and down the front of his shirt, but her fingers stilled on the button she’d been about to open as she felt Hunter slide his hands beneath the hem of her top. Her skin tingled beneath his fingers as they glided up her stomach, and she couldn’t help but let out a husky, little moan when he cupped her breasts through the thin material of her bra. Her nipples strained against the garment, begging for his touch, but he barely brushed the turgid peaks with his thumbs before his hands were on the move again. Urging her shirt up her arms, he lifted it over her head and carelessly tossed it aside.
    The look on Hunter’s face was almost predatory as he gazed down at her breasts, and Eliza felt her nipples tighten beneath her bra. She had never ached so badly for a man’s touch before, and the thought of Hunter fondling and caressing her breasts had her breathless with anticipation. To her relief, he didn’t make her wait long, but immediately reached out to take her breasts in his hands.
    Eliza gasped at his touch, her hands automatically gripping the front of his shirt to steady herself.
