Isabel and the Wolf: (Part 3) Read Online Free PDF

Jed to hear. Isabel pulled a face at her and relaxed into the rhythm of the music. She sensed Jed had eased away from her, the perfect gentleman, and Kara took the opportunity to twirl Isabel round and round, letting her go so she was facing Jed. Her head spinning, she staggered forwards, and Jed steadied her with his hands around her waist. His touch brought instant heat to her body. They carried on dancing together, and he didn’t let her go, one hand remaining on her waist, the other holding hers.
    The music became much slower – some country track she didn’t recognize.
    “Ever danced a two-step before?” Jed whispered in her ear.
    “Nope,” she said, eyes shining.
    ‘Well, you’re just about to learn,” he said, and began to show her the simple steps. She picked up the technique quickly and enjoyed the slow, gentle rhythm. They had moved into the corner of the room, and they were no longer two-stepping; they were swaying, closer and closer together. Isabel’s breasts pressed against Jed’s body and she had to throw her head back to see his face. He was looking at her intensely, his earlier joviality gone. She realized that his eyes weren’t just blue, but had a hint of amber, like a star around the pupil. As the pupil dilated, flooding the iris, it virtually disappeared, but when the light shone in his eyes, the amber color burst out like a sunbeam. It was at one of these moments, as one of the lights was directly overhead, that they regarded her with such intensity that she had to break eye contact and cast her glance down. Jed’s finger touched her chin, and very gently lifted her head again. Now, the spotlight had moved again and his pupils were dilated with what she recognized as desire. The scent of him was strong in her nostrils and his muscular arms pressed around her body. Slowly, he bent his head closer and closer to hers. Isabel’s heart was pounding, and her skin tingled all over. She tilted her jaw minutely, and, finally, his mouth was on hers. His lips were soft, impossibly soft, and his kiss was cautious, as he took his time, making sure that she wanted it. Of course she wanted it! The tingling that began on her skin ran all the way through her body, rushing through her veins. He put his arms around her waist, pulling her closer to him, and she reached up, feeling the muscularity of his shoulders. He began to kiss her more confidently, his lips parting, the tip of his tongue seeking hers. She opened her mouth to him, and felt the softness of his tongue sliding into her mouth, finding hers and dancing around it. A small sound escaped her, in appreciation of the sensuality of his kiss. His hand moved into her hair, twisting it around his fingers, while his other hand pressed lightly on the bare skin of her back, his fingers caressing.
    At last, he broke away from her, only to whisper,
    “Bella, you’re so beautiful,” before kissing her again, even more deeply than before. Isabel kept her eyes shut, having no idea if the two of them were attracting any attention, and not wanting to know. She was lost in the passionate kisses of this strong, yet gentle man. His fingers ran along her jaw, her collarbones. She shuddered, finding the soft touch of his callused hands deeply erotic. If he kept touching her like that, she might have to drag him back to her house. She started to kiss him more fiercely, and he held back for a moment, but then matched her passion with hard, searching kisses that filled her with excitement. He moved away from her mouth and kissed the side of her neck, then nibbled her earlobe. With his face buried in her neck, she opened her eyes at last. They were indeed attracting attention. Some people were watching them openly, others more discreetly. Kara caught her eye and waved her hand in a fanning motion. It took Isabel some seconds to notice that Kara was looking at her from over some guy’s shoulder. Was that Dan, the bartender? How had they hooked up so fast? The music was
