Tigers Like It Hot by Tianna Xander Read Free Book Online Page B

aren’t you?” She shook her head and slid off Mac’s lap. “No offense, Mac, but as nice as it felt to have you hold me, I’m a big girl and I don’t need that pressing into my hip reminding me of what I’m going to turn down in a minute.” She pointed at his crotch.
    “I hope you don’t turn us down, baby. You’re the first woman that we’ve met in over one-hundred years who could possibly be our mate. While there could be others, it could take just as long, or longer to find another. Not to mention the fact that…” He let his words trail off and hung his head.
    “Not to mention what?” she prompted.
    “That I think we’re both a little in love with you already,” he finished. “Love comes to mates quickly. Sometimes we don’t even know each other and we feel as though we have known each other for years and can’t live without our intended mate.”
    “Right!” She drew the word out. “Like I’m going to believe that .”
    “I hope you do, when you see that we aren’t lying to you and we aren’t delusional.” Gareth took off his shirt. “I’m undressing because my tiger form is much larger than my human form and I don’t want to ruin my clothes. I also don’t want to scare you with the magic of what we are just yet. It’s going to be enough to deal with the fact that I can shift my shape.”
    “I hope you’re not taking those off because you think I’ll fall at your feet when I see what kind of hot body you have. I can see you’re hot already. I don’t need to see you naked to reinforce it.” She couldn’t help but stare, her mouth dry, as he peeled the t-shirt off over his head.
    “You think I’m hot?” Gareth asked with a grin.
    “I think you’re both hot and you know it.” She crossed her arms with a scowl. “Can we get this over with?”
    Jessi found it interesting that removing his shirt didn’t disturb his mask or take any of the make-up off. She frowned as he reached for his belt buckle. “I mean it.” She pointed at his crotch. I’m telling you now, while I’m in my right mind. No means no and I mean no !”
    She knew that once she saw him naked, she was likely to jump his bones. She hadn’t had sex in years. What she did with her toys didn’t count. She might lie to herself and Kelly, but her threesome days weren’t that far behind her. In fact, they were packed away in her suitcase with two huge vibrating dildos and a bottle of lube.
    “Don’t do it. Don’t do it.” She shook her head. How would she ever resist the man once he was naked? She was horny, damn it!
    Slowly, he unbuckled his belt, unbuttoned the fly on his jeans and slid them down over his lean hips.
    “Commando!” She met his gaze and Gareth smiled and winked. “I don’t believe this.” Fanning her face, she looked away. If she didn’t, she’d be unable to stop staring at the impressive package that grew larger by the second. “I’m in a hotel room with a naked man and I keep saying no .” She shook her head.
    “Look at me.”
    Jessi turned her head at the strange, low rumble of Gareth’s voice. It sounded almost like a growl. Her eyes widened when she saw the tail that she had assumed he’d had attached to his pants whip around his body as though brushing at flies.
    Her mouth dropped open when his face changed, his jaw widened, elongating into a snout. His ears changed, shifting upward toward the top of his head. White fur covered his body, followed closely by the black stripes he’d had in his hair. His arms and legs changed, thickened with sinewy muscle. His entire body shifted and changed until a beautiful white tiger stood before her staring at her with Gareth’s blue eyes.
    “I-I…” She covered her mouth with her hand and stared at him. Her fingers trembled against her lips, her legs shook and she wasn’t sure she could stand any longer. Reaching toward Mac, she stumbled into his arms as he rushed to catch her before she fell. “I can’t believe it.
