“Oh, come on! Not again, you big, dumb, blockhead!”Pierce woke with a start to the sound of grunting, growling, and raised voices. Okay, one raised voice. He blinked his eyes, shaking his head before jumping out of bed.“That’s mine!” the voice said again,What the heck was going on? Still stuck in that place between dream and sleep—and it had been a very good dream about a certain dark-haired temptress with glowing golden eyes and a body that made a man want to drop to his knees and beg at her feet for any crumb she’d be willing to give.Fuck. One day with her, and he was losing his mind. His dick was so hard, the head was already peeking out of his boxer briefs. He stalked over to the window and just about lost his mind.“Let go!” another shout sounded, this one closer to his window.Pierce shook his head and walked to the window, and his jaw just dropped. Outside, in the tiniest pair of shorts he’d ever seen with a matching racer-back sports bra, was Toni. The sun was b

Maybe her animal was never broken. Maybe she’d just been eager to find someone to be with and that was why she’d set her sights on Stefan. Toni couldn’t hold a grudge.Not any longer. After all, she and her Lioness had to live together. And if her kitty was making statements like that about Pierce, something she never actually did with Stefan, then maybe the beast was smarter than she thought.Mine.Yeah, he felt like hers. But she wasn’t about to shout it from the rooftops and scare him off. Not yet anyway. She was eager to spend time with Pierce, getting to know him, and showing him the real her, the one she kept hidden. Toni didn’t want to wear armor with him.For the first time, she wanted to be herself, to allow her vulnerability to show. Yes, it was soon, but they were Shifters. This feeling of hope and excitement, this was what was missing with Stefan. This was what she’d been waiting to feel all her life.Pierce held out his hand, and all manner of teasing fled from h

The afternoon wore away with Pierce and Toni frolicking in the lake, eating a little more, and making love again in the afternoon sunshine.He still had her peaches and honey flavor on his lips from when he’d slid down her body and gave her the most intimate of kisses. Gods, he loved the way she’d cried out his name, body arching as he fucked her on his tongue, tasting her orgasm as it pulsed through her. She was the sexiest damn woman he had ever seen, and the wondrous thing was, she didn’t even know it.Her ex had done a number on her confidence, but Pierce hoped to remove that motherfucker’s taint from her soul with patience and attention. Each and every touch, kiss, climax, and surrender were victories in the war for Toni’s freedom from her past. Pierce was over the fucking moon that he got to be the one to see her shine. And shine, she did. Like a fucking beacon calling to him alone.After their lovemaking, they’d both fallen asleep in a tangle of arms and legs. Good thing U

“What do you mean, she is not here?” Pierce asked.The male normal, who was acting desk sergeant at the Burlington County Sheriff’s Department, rolled his eyes before turning back to Pierce. He looked bored, and frankly, uninterested. Neither of which gave Pierce any confidence the man knew what he was doing.“Sir, like I have said ten times already, no one with the name Antonetta Golden, or matching her description, has come through these doors today.”“This is insanity. Where is Lieutenant Langley? I need to see him. She was in Officer Duluth’s car.”“Who? There is no Lieutenant Langley or Officer Duluth here, sir. Is this a prank? I warn you there are serious consequences for wasting the time of law enforcement,” the man retorted, shaking his head as he went back to sorting the mail.Thunder roared in Pierce’s ears. What the fuck was going on? He needed answers, and he needed them now. But before he could reach across the desk and shake the unhelpful human, Hunter came bur

Toni moaned. Her head was pounding like she’d been drinking catnip-laced tequila nonstop for days, and her throat was raw as fuck. She coughed, wheezing as someone pushed her upright.“There she is,” a voice whispered.She felt hands brushing her hair back and felt a hard male body beneath her. Toni tried to open her eyes to see who was whispering and touching her so familiarly. Her skin was crawling, and she felt like she was going to hurl.“Come on, kitten. Open those big eyes for me,” the voice growled. “I’m gonna make it all okay now.”“Stefan?” she moaned, scrambling off him.Her body felt wrong. Heavy and uncoordinated. She backed up against a wall, whimpering when she heard his footsteps nearing her. Toni rubbed at her face, trying to get the gunk out of her eyes.“What happened? Where am I?”“You’re right where you belong, kitten. I forgive you for everything. Don’t worry. It will be good now,” the voice said, and she remembered who it belonged to. Stefan. That wa
