Sherry's Wolf by Maddy Barone Read Free Book Online Page B

smile was dreamy. “There’s things a woman can do on her knees in front of a man …” He cleared his throat. “The thing is, Dante took his woman away from everyone else. In his cabin they were alone and no one interrupted them. They didn’t have any distractions while they fell in love.”
    “Taye, that’s just a book. It’s not real. And, um, what does a woman do on her knees…? No, don’t answer that!”
    Taye’s smile turned wolfish. “You sure you don’t wanna know?”
    Actually, Stag thought he had a pretty good idea. On her knees, Sherry’s face would be close to his cock. The thought of her mouth on him as his mouth had been on her breast last night had him shifting in his chair. His breechcloth didn’t hide anything, so Taye had to know why he barked, “Not now!”
    Taye had the decency to tone his grin down. “Okay. Back to The Black Dragon’s Woman . Women have been reading these stories for years. They like it. I know it’s not real, but if you treat Sherry right she’ll be like Amber. She’ll fall in love with you.”
    “I’m not a pirate! I can’t kidnap her and take her out to sea.”
    “No, but you could take her out to the cabin over east of Sheep Head Hill, the one Lobo and his beagle hide out in. Keep her there for a week while you court her. If you have her alone, she’ll have to pay attention to you.”
    Alone with Sherry… “No, it would be too dangerous. What if someone came on us? A beautiful woman with only one man to protect her? We’d be attacked and Sherry would be stolen.”
    “I’ll send a couple of the boys to run patrol around the cabin,” Taye offered.
    That would work. The thought of having Sherry all to himself was tempting. Would a week be enough time to make her forget her husband? He could prove to her that he wouldn’t harm her. Maybe she would fall in love with him. What could it hurt? Right now she wanted him to leave her. He couldn’t bear that.
    Taye could see his inner debate. He held out the book. “Here. Read this. Then come back and tell me if you want us to guard you and Sherry at the cabin.”
    Stag took the battered paperback doubtfully. “What am I supposed to find out when I read this?”
    “What women like in bed.”
    Well, that was probably worth a couple hours of his time. Sherry was no virgin, not with her marriage to LeRoi, but he was. He’d had nothing but years of hot dreams of what he’d do with his mate if he ever found her. He sighed and nodded to Taye. “I’ll be out in the sweat lodge.”
    It was nearly supper time when he returned to the rec room. The room was crowded. Rose and the Grandmother were at the table by the window, winding yarn into balls. The Grandmother was the eldest member of the Clan and she was revered by all. The skinny blonde, Mrs. Madison, was there, in a chair by the fireplace, with her husband Eddie standing at her side. About a dozen members of the Pack were there, too, lolling on furs on the floor, and Taye was sitting on the floor beside his mate’s chair, his head tipped back so Carla could finger comb his hair. Everyone looked up as Stag burst in. He ignored them to wave the book angrily in Taye’s face.
    “He strips her naked and ties her to the bed?” he roared.
    Taye smiled like the wolf he was. “The bunk,” he corrected. “That’s one of my favorite parts. And when he uses a feather to tickle her—”
    “I’m not stripping Sherry and trying her to the bed!”
    Taye’s eyelids drooped as he laid his cheek on his mate’s knee. “And that part where he takes her pearl necklace off her neck and slides it inside her—”
    “ Taye !” Carla jumped up, dumping his head off her knee. She shot a warning glare around at the wolves, who quickly hid their interest and pretended to go back to whatever they had been doing. “Did you give him one of your romance novels to use as a template to seduce Sherry?”
    Taye flowed smoothly to his feet. “Now, sweetheart, don’t be like that.
