Man-Eater
brass pole felt good, hard between her legs.
    “You want some of this, baby?” Kendra heard over the music.
    And all hell broke loose. The two shifters who had been fighting over her blouse stormed the stage. One of them brushed her arm with his hand, but she quickly stepped back as the bouncers stepped in. The bouncers leaped atop the unruly shifters and Kendra saw claws. One of the men partially shifted into a muscular white tiger. Kendra had half a mind to shift too. It would be the quickest route to sate her desire. The white tiger roared and Kendra felt her own animal leap to life within her. In the fog of her heat, giving herself to him actually looked like a solution. But before she could respond, a third bouncer took Kendra under his arm, whisking her away.
    Kendra gasped for air. “Holy shit,” Kendra said, once she was in the back room. “Is it always like that?”
    “Sometimes,” Charlize said. “The good news is something like this happens and the other boys always tip you really good.”
    Charlize was right about that. Kitty went out to gather her tips and she soon had fistfuls of money in her hands.
    “That was quite a show you put on there,” Charlize said.
    “What happened to the two that jumped the stage?”
    “We threw them out,” Charlize said. “Man-Eaters has a zero tolerance policy for touching the dancers.”
    “Am I done for the night?” Kendra asked.
    “I don’t know. You think you got one more set in you?”
    Kendra felt a little shaken, but she hadn’t even got to try out her best moves. Not to mention the fact that Cyrus was still in the back of the audience. And whatever she told herself, Kendra knew one thing. She may have been a tigress and she may have been in heat, but what was happening on that stage was bigger than both those things. It was because of Cyrus. Despite the fact that they’d barely spoken, the two of them had a connection the likes of which Kendra had never felt before. And on some level, whether she wanted to admit it or not, Kendra was dancing for him.
    “Sure,” Kendra finally said. “Why not?”

Chapter Four

    Cyrus ached all over and especially in his pants. It was more than just Kendra’s heat. That divine creature had done something to him. And not just to his cock. To his heart. Cyrus had never believed in love at first sight, but he did now. His heart wanted her so badly he felt as if he was going to explode. Still, despite the fact that he desperately wanted to claim Kendra, despite the fact that he needed to claim her, he couldn’t claim her. Not now. Not until he was done with his business. Shit. What was that? He smelled another cat, a tigress he had been diligently working to avoid.
    It was Morgan. His ex. Now he really had to leave.
    Theirs had been a brief but troubled relationship and it wasn’t even over. Not in the eyes of the law, at least. Cyrus quickly got up to go but not before Morgan managed to interject herself between him and the door.
    “Cyrus.”
    “Morgan.”
    “Fancy seeing you here.”
    “Just making sure you don’t get into any trouble before our court date.”
    “And why would I do that? Now, if you’ll excuse me,” Cyrus said.
    Morgan refused to move out of the way, her skinny frame blocking his exit. What had he ever seen in that pale wisp of a woman? Their mail-order marriage had lasted for less than a week, but why had he gone along with it in the first place? It was because he was lonely, he supposed. Lonely and convinced he would never find a mate. Now she followed him everywhere he went, looking for something, anything to give her an advantage in court. It was a living hell, and the only light on the horizon was that their court date was almost here. Very soon, one way or another, he would be done with her. He just hoped he could hold out for that long.
    “Not so fast,” Morgan said.
    “I’ll go just as fast as I need to,” Cyrus replied.
    “I’m watching you,” she smiled. “I’m watching how
