strength.
Toppling forward, Derek knocked her back. She gave a startled
grunt of shock as she landed on her back with his hot, sweaty body
pinning her to the ground. Too stunned to move, Megan lay still
beneath him, gasping for breath and tried to regain her focus.
The weight of his body pressed against her caused the heat to rise
within her body. A low moan escaped her lips as Derek shifted on top
of her. His skin against hers ... the delicious friction made her gasp.
"Oh! Are you all right? I'm sorry if I'm crushing you." He propped
up on his elbows and gazed down at her. His eyes twinkled in the
afternoon sun, golden-hued with tiny flakes of green.
She hadn't noticed the warmth of his gaze until that moment.
Reaching up, she brushed her fingers down his cheek.
"You're messy," she teased, smiling up at the handsome man
hovering over her. "But at least you're not injured."
"And I'd still be stuck in that hole, if it wasn't for you." He cocked
his head, a smile tugging at the corners of his mouth. "That's another
one I owe you."
Megan drew a ragged breath. The heat was now in her veins. She
blushed, feeling the moisture gathering between her legs. "Y-you
don't owe me." She attempted to smile despite the sensations coursing
through her body.
"Well, may I at least give you a kiss?" he inquired, playfully.
Yes! An unconscious shrug of energy rippled from her, calling him
closer. A response that came from deep inside her. Derek's mouth
covered hers, the touch of his lips burning with white-hot desire.
Megan yielded. She let his mouth consume hers with its searing heat
as her senses reeled in sheer, undiluted lunacy.
The moon fever rushed through her like a wildfire and her body
responded. The sithech inside her was begging for more than a mere
kiss. A groan escaped her lips as Derek's mouth pulled from hers and
began kissing a hot trail down her neck.
Megan tossed back her head, exposing her neck to his lips, and
closed her eyes. She reeled in the all-consuming passion that held her
tighter in its embrace. His hard body moved against her, stimulating
every fiber of her being with the strong, natural aroma of sithech -
male. A dark scent of forest, man and wolf blended together and
aroused within her a primal desire ... the desire to mate.
As his lips swept over her collarbone, she gave a soft groan.
Encircling her arms around his shoulders, she drew him close. Lust
was overriding her senses. She didn't want to pull away. Even though
it was afternoon, the Samhain moon still held sway, washing over her
with full force.
She heard Derek groan as he urgently brushed his cock against her.
He was hard, rigid and eager. I want you, Megan. Please,
sweetheart? His velvety-steel member grazed over her thighs, seeking
out her inner heat. There was also tenseness in his body. Restraint.
He was holding off, waiting ... for her.
The fever had them both wrapped in its embrace. Megan trembled
beneath him. Her body was aching as the resolve within her melted
away. Scissoring her legs around his waist, Megan let out a wordless
sound and flipped him over onto his back in the bed of leaves.

Startled by her sudden display of strength, Derek blinked, gazing
up into her smiling face. Megan straddled his thighs. The heat of her
sex radiated from between her legs. The sithech -blood rushed through
his veins, burning him with wild desire.
"Yes, I want you, too." She flashed him a feral grin, encircling the
base of his penis with her slender fingers. Just her touch was almost
enough to make him snap. Derek panted. Sweat covered his body as
he struggled for an ounce of control, but the beast within him was
screaming for release.
Megan's eyes widened with surprise. She sensed it too, the
unmistakable surge of pure, raw sexuality and power drawing them
together like magnets. Clasping her hips in his hands, he held her
steady over his cock. "Please, Meg. Now." His voice was ragged
with
