.Do you think those are real?”“On vampires, they’re always real.They can’t afford to bleed out during surgery just to get implants.” He gave the other woman an assessing look.“Besides, not even silicone can make tits that firm.Hildie works out.”Raising his beer for a drink, Logan rolled his eyes.“And I’m sure you’d know.But you could at least make an effort.Lady knows you need to do something to lighten your mood.What the hell is up with you tonight anyway?”“Three guesses,” Graham muttered.“I’ll even spot you the first two.”Logan grimaced.“Shit.Curtis.”“Right both times.”“What’s he done now?”“Same old, same old.This week he tried to get Bill Lakeland to take an interest in examining the validity of the challenge Dad and I fought when he decided to retire and leave the business of alpha to me.”Logan nearly choked on his beer.“You’ve got to be kidding me.”“I wish.”“I don’t care how many packs consider Bill an expert of the traditional procedures for alpha challenges, you took that fight fair and square.Your father wouldn’t even cut your mother any slack in a challenge ring, let alone the son he raised to continue his family dynasty!”“You know that, and I know that…”“And so does anyone who was there watching.You took that challenge fairly and by the skin of your teeth.For a few minutes, I wondered if both of you were going to leave the circle alive.”Graham’s mouth twisted.“So did we.”“So how does he figure he can protest the outcome?”“Beats me.I doubt he thought he’d really get anywhere with that kind of nonsense.Chances are he was just pulling my chain.”“And how long has that been his favorite hobby?”“Let’s see.I’m thirty-four and Curtis is seven years younger, so…” Graham pursed his lips and pretended to think.“About twenty-seven years, I think.”Logan nodded.“And you did what to set him off again?”“Be born first, be my father’s son, and be more of a Lupine than he’ll ever be?”“Right.So you’re just going to go on ignoring him?”“That’s the plan.” Graham saw the disgust in his friend’s expression and smiled.“Trust me, it’s easier to ignore him than it is to dignify his idiocy with a response.If I got worked up every time he pulled a stupid stunt just to piss me off, I’d be the first Lupine in recorded medical history to have to take blood pressure medication.”Logan sighed.“True enough.” He took a long pull on his beer and gave the room another thorough glance.“Which means that you could definitely use a distraction tonight.So? Who’s it going to be?”“No one.”“Excuse me?”“I’m not in the mood for a woman.”“You know, you’ve been saying that with distressing regularity lately, my friend,” Logan pointed out.“I don’t know about your blood pressure, but you might want to talk to a doctor about your libido if this keeps up.”Graham glared at him.“There’s nothing wrong with my libido.It’s not me; it’s the women.Haven’t you noticed they’re all the same?”“Well, where it counts, I suppose….”“That’s not what I mean.Or maybe it is.I don’t know.I just know I’m…bored.” He gestured around the room with his whiskey glass.“Not a fresh face in sight.”“Since when do you go for a fresh face? I thought you were an ass man.”“Since I realized I’d seen all of these faces a hundred times before.”“Come on,” Logan chided.“There has to be a woman here you haven’t slept with.”“Regina.”“She doesn’t count.Dmitri would break your legs, wait a couple of hours for them to heal, then break them again.And after that, he might get cranky.I’m talking about the rest of them.The ones who aren’t married to your best friend, and aren’t from our pack, since they’re all practically family.”Graham took a quick look around, followed by a longer look.On his third sweep of the assembled crowd, he stopped and pointed toward a grouping of furniture occupied by three very attractive females.“There,” he said.“Those three.I haven’t slept with a single one of them.”Logan followed his gesture and sighed.“Yeah.Regina’s closest friends, who are probably the only human women here tonight, and we both know you don’t do humans.”Draining his glass, Graham scanned the room one last time, dismissing each of the women he passed.His eyes never seemed to pause more than half a second on any of them, no matter how attractive or how skimpily dressed, until they drifted over one curvaceous female bottom and skidded to a grinding halt.He could almost smell rubber burning.His eyes caressed the full, generous lines of her backside encased in a form-fitting skirt of some clingy black material.The fabric draped over that delectable tush, showing him each rounded curve in heart-stopping detail.To his surprise, he couldn’t tell if she was wearing pan ties, but unlike Shelley’s lack of lingerie, the idea of this woman bare beneath her dress aroused more than just his curiosity.“And her,” he growled, all his attention focused on the woman whose face he still hadn’t seen.If it looked half as good as what he had seen, he’d be a very happy man.“I haven’t had her.Yet.”Born to be Wild“Warren takes readers for a wild ride, and when she is done, the reader begs for more.”—Night Owl RomanceJosie Barrett brings out the animal in men.Literally.As the local veterinarian in a town that’s approximately seventy percent Others—mostly shapeshifters—Josie deals with beastly situations all the time.It’s practically part of her job description.But when the werewolves of Stone Creek, Oregon, start turning downright feral, Josie smells a rat—among other, more dangerous critters.Teaming up with the ferociously sexy Eli Pace, a full-time sheriff and part-time were-lion, Josie tries to contain the shapeshifting problem before it spreads like a virus.But when more shifters get infected—and stuck in their animal forms—the fur really begins to fly.Josie and Eli have to find the cause, fast, before the whole town goes to the dogs.But first, they have to wrestle with a few animal urges of their own.Eli watched the object of his fascination sway toward him and bit back the urge to reach out and haul her across the table.For most of the last twenty-four hours, he might have wondered whether Josie Barrett felt even a fraction of the attraction for him that he had developed for her; but if that slightly dazed look in her eyes and the smell of her sweet warm skin were any indication, his question had just been answered with a resounding yes.He might actually have thrown caution to the wind and eaten her alive if her dog hadn’t chosen just that moment to switch his allegiance from his clearly neglectful mistress and drape his huge, drooling muzzle on the thigh of Eli’s jeans.Clamping his teeth together, Eli pulled back and sent the mutt an only half-joking glare.Somehow, the feel of canine saliva soaking through denim proved to be a real mood killer.“What?” he growled at the dog, hoping Josie would assume he was teasing.“Are you trying to tell us it’s time for dessert?”The veterinarian blushed scarlet at that question and reached for the dog’s collar.At least, he hoped it was from the question and the knowledge that each of them would like very much to have the other for dessert, instead of from the embarrassment of having a hungry hound assault her guest.“Bruce!” she scolded sharply, grabbing her half-eaten dinner with her free hand and hauling both food and dog toward another room of the clinic [ Pobierz całość w formacie PDF ]
