A Wolf's Desire (A BBW Paranormal Romance): The Holiday Ball Read Online Free PDF Page A

getting a little tipsy? Maybe that’s just what she did need. A little liquid courage. Putting the glass to her lips, she threw back her head and gulped down the chilled, bubbly liquid.
    Come to think of it the hors d’oeuvre had still been warm. Had the basket been charmed like the serving trays to keep what was hot, hot, and what was cold, cold?
    Seeing the wolf watching her with hungry eyes of his own, she decided not to question anything about this night. It was filled with magic.
    Setting the plate on the table, she picked up a strawberry. She opened her mouth, licking her lips in anticipation as she lifted it to her mouth. With brown lashes fluttering down, she saw the look on Kade’s face seconds before she took a bite of the big, plump berry.
    Even though she hadn’t planned it, she groaned in pleasure as the taste of chocolate and sweet ripe berry exploded on her tongue.
    Fucking shit , Kade thought as he watched her eat. The woman was sensuous without being aware of it. Which made her doubly appealing. Her eyes opened to find him staring straight into hers. He knew she saw his wolf. If the animal had been any closer to the surface, he’d have already shifted.
    “Again,” he commanded.
    He saw the hesitation in her. Longed to assure her that he’d never hurt her. But his cock was too damn hard and his mind was too damn muddled. Right now he was working on instinct alone.
    “Again.” This time he leaned forward and pushed the plate toward her, a snarl in his voice.
    She blinked breaking the hypnotic tie between them. His wolf growled in approval as she took another chocolate covered berry from the plate and bit into it. Juice ran out of her mouth and she licked it away with the tip of her pink tongue. All the while, she held his gaze. He still saw the nervousness but he also saw the want, the need building inside her. She wanted to be a bad girl, he thought with satisfaction. And he was just the wolf to show her just how bad she could be.
    They watched each other as she ate the strawberry. When it was gone, she didn’t hesitate to take another one. He allowed his smile to reach his mouth this time when she sucked on the berry before biting into it. Again, she licked the juice from her lips with her tongue.
    “That’s it, baby,” he whispered. “Eat that berry.”
    Daphne almost choked when Kade spoke. He’d started this little game of erotic dare and Daphne had thought she was strong enough to play along. But seeing the heat in his eyes, she wondered if she’d literally bitten off more than she could chew.
    She swallowed the bite she’d taken. “Want a bite?” she asked, holding out the half-eaten piece of fruit.
    “I thought you’d never ask, sweetheart.” In an instant Kade was out of his chair and kneeling before her, his hand encircling her wrist in a hold she knew she could never break. Not that she wanted to.
    He moved her arm until the berry touched his lips. His full lips opened and he sucked the berry inside. Immediately she thought of him sucking her nipple, or heaven’s above, her clit, between those full lips. She shifted on her chair, trying to relieve some of the pressure building inside her pussy.
    She wanted this man. This wolf.
    “So good, baby, you taste so good.”
    “Mmmm,” she hummed in agreement. Wait. What? He said she tasted so good.
    In the blink of an eye, he’d eaten the strawberry and pulled her to her feet. He ran his hands up her sides, over her ribs and settled them under her breasts, where he paused.
    “You do know what this ball was all about, don’t you?”
    “It’s the annual Holiday Ball, everyone in Calloway county knows that.” Of course, the nickname given to this annual event was the fuck ball. Yes, it was rumored that some supernaturals found their mates, but most came to get their groove on. Horny was the buzz word of the night.
    He tipped her head up, making sure to look directly in her eyes as he spoke. “Everyone may dress it up with
