In the Alpha’s Arms Novel

Can You Feel The Heat?

Lita didn’t even make it to the bathroom door. She was only two steps into an epic storm out that would have put all other drama queens to shame before hed snatched her back to him, pulling her into a rough kiss.

Immediately heat exploded through her, sending shivers from her spine to the rest of her body. It was like waking up from a hibernation. Her body hadn’t been fully alive until he touched her again and the electricity of his fingers on her skin brought her to the edge of a frenzy. It had been so damn long since she’d been touched like that, if ever. The warm weight of his hands on her waist made her dizzy. He smirked against her mouth, licking her top lip before pressing his mouth onto hers once more.

Cole wasn’t entirely in control, lost somewhere betwpen that dress and her scent, jealousy fueling his already raging hard–on as he pressed it against her thigh. She was his. She needed to be his. His mind was clearer about that than it had been in months. This scent, this taste, this body, he couldn t stand to watch Ace enjoy any part of it

This was not playing it cool. He knew that. This wasn’t talking it out either, which he knew they definitely needed to do but hard as he tried, he couldn’t put out the Ere inside of him.

He groaned loudly as he moved their bodies closer, in a tone that was almost wild, “You taste like fucking heaven.” Wrapping an arm tightly around her waist, he backed her out of the bathroom into the bedroom, never breaking the kiss

His body hummed against her, full of all that wolf energy she remembered too well but still his mouth was gentle, Cole pulled at her lips deeply. sucking and pressing her mouth wider until he could work his way inside, savoring the taste of her on his tongue. Lita couldn’t remember for the life of her what she’d been about to do. Whatever it was, it wasn’t happening now.

Especially not as he trailed scalding wet kissed from her jaw to her earlobe, biting and teasing it with his tongue, playing with her emotions. Gasping, she gripped his hair roughly until she’d brought his warm mouth back down onto her neck. One of Cole’s hands slid up the back of her neck until it gripped her silky stands, pulling slightly to tilt her neck higher as he planted warm bites down to her collarbone. She didn’t even try to stifle the

Had the whole night been one long, drown out foreplay? Was that Ace’s angle: Passively work them both up all night and then light the fuse? That man might have been a fucking genius. She hadn’t given him enough credit. That kiss was as much about winding Lita up as it was about pissing Cole

off.

You’ll probably thank me for what he’ll do to you… That sly fox of a man, she smiled.

Lita ran her hands along Cole’s shoulders, kicking her heels away as he continued pushing her hackwards toward the bed. The height difference made it harder to reach his lips and she struggled on her tip toes. He made a frustrated sound and lifted her up, wrapping her legs around his waist. Letting his fingers explore under the hem of the dress, he found nothing but a thin piece of fabric covering her

“Fuck, Lita, you might as well have been naked under this dress,” he panted, pulling his swollen lips back from hers. She watched his red eyes catch in the light, reflecting. That sight, coupled with the erection pressed over her core, furthered the wetness between her legs.

Running her hands down Cole’s abs to the top of his pants. He hissed, bringing them back up to his chest, I’m already on the edge, Lita.”

“So fall over already,” she pleaded, returning to pop the button on his pants. That seemed to snap him out of the hunger. He sat her on the edge of the bed, prying his mouth away from her skin, as difficult as it was

Kneeling between her legs to rest his head against her ribcage, he whispered “We need to talk, Lita. We can’t just rush into this.”

-ile collected himself, taking several deep, shaking breaths against her before pulling back to look at her. His eyes were still bright red and reflective but he seemed a bit more composed. Slowly her breathing returned to normal too, the flush leaving her face. She scooted back slightly, raking her hands through her hair until it fell over half of her face.

You’re the e most beautiful woman I’ve ever seen,” he admitted, letting that linger in the air for a minute before continuing, “I owe you an explanation. I know I do. I know I keep pushing you away and I really don’t have a good use. I thought I did, thought I could blame my upbringing or my own buggage but I cant

He took a breath, blowing air into his cheeks, ‘All of that is real but it’s

it’s not the reason I keep putting things between us. The truth is I’m scared.
