Beasts of
Bodmin Moor, Book 2
Naomi Flynn
never intends to mate or marry. Either one would leave her open to
the manipulation she’s sworn never to endure again. Besides, no
panther male will want her once they know the truth behind what
happened a decade ago.
She’s happy to
burn up the sheets in a buddy-with-benefits arrangement, until a
craving for a three-way sexual adventure thrusts her right back into
the arms of the man she can’t afford to remember.
Tynan Galloway
doesn’t intend to stand by and watch the woman he wants throw
herself at every male with a pulse except him. Ten years ago, a
brutal assault robbed him of his destiny as a protector of the pack,
but damned if Naomi is going to be another casualty of his fate.
In the heat of a fantasy come true,
Naomi’s resolve to keep her emotional distance weakens. But when
Tynan discovers she’s in potential danger, he dares her to deny
he’s the only man who can protect her. Never expecting she’ll go
to extremes to prove him wrong...

shifter with something to prove, a heroine with a secret to keep, and

Excerpt:
Pushing through
the jittery discomfort, Naomi moved until her back was to the men.
She reached around to unhook her bra, then held the unfastened cups
close to her chest. Turning back, with the men’s gazes focused on
her still-covered breasts, she let the straps fall away. There was a
sense of power, Naomi thought, in holding a man enthralled, or in
this case, men. While it might have been better easing herself into
this particular game more gradually, there was sometimes a lot to be
said for simply plunging in at the deep end.
Reminding
herself this was her choice, her fantasy, she let her hand fall away,
and the bra fell to the floor.
Malcolm groaned,
his prick bobbing again. Derek had barely moved, but his throat
contracted as he swallowed.
Twisting around
again, Naomi hooked her fingers into the sides of the wispy black
panties and began to lower them down over her hips, the cool brush of
air on her bared backside sending shivers along her sensitive flesh.
“Fuck. Get
over here before I come just by looking at you.”
Malcolm, Naomi
thought. The more gregarious of the two. Derek was far more intense,
quietly watching her as the three of them had chatted in the bar, and
now while she performed her striptease.
When she turned
back, Derek was on his knees at the end of the bed. His eyes gleamed
dangerously, and he grabbed her wrist, yanking her onto the mattress.
She tumbled facedown, the breath knocked out of her.
Hands trailed
over her naked flesh, sliding up her thighs, cupping her rear,
stroking her back. Roughly, she was tossed onto her back, and she
looked up into Derek’s menacing gaze. His cock pressed against her
leg, while Malcolm cupped her pussy.
Oh shit. What
was she doing? She didn’t know these men. Had no idea what sort of
people they were apart from the fact they were down from London on
business and, like her, were looking for a good time.
She was such an
idiot. She needed her damned head examined.
Her strength was
greater than that of human women, but when she tried to scramble up,
Derek pressed her back with ease. “You’re not going anywhere
until we get what you’ve been promising all evening.”
Malcolm laughed
and pressed his finger inside her. “She’s up for it,” he said
on another laugh. “Just likes to make it more exciting, don’t
you, babe?”
He pushed
deeper, making her flinch. “Like that, don’t you?”
“No. This was
a mistake. I—”
Derek shoved
Malcolm aside, then scrambled between Naomi’s legs, pushing them
apart with his knees. She tried again to get up, but he pressed a
hand to her shoulder, weighing her down. “Give me a damn condom.”
Malcolm tossed
him the foil packet, and, keeping his gaze on hers, Derek ripped it
open. His feral look pushed fresh fear into her stomach, and with
every ounce of strength she possessed, she tried to scramble up. She
couldn’t budge him.
Derek released
his hold on her shoulder to slide on the rubber, but before she could
take the chance to escape, Malcolm pinned down her arms.
Panic clutched
at her throat, nausea churning her stomach. Oh God. This was
so not how she’d thought it would be.
With his face a
snarling mask of determination and sickening lust, Derek yanked up
her hips.
“I… I’ve
changed my mind.”
Her throat was
so tight, she could barely enunciate, and it was evident he hadn’t
heard her when he grabbed his cock and leaned over her.
“I said, no!”
With sheer will, she directed every fiber of strength into her arms.
Energy pulsed along her muscles, firing the nerve endings, and she
sucked air into her tight lungs. Releasing her breath, she shoved
upward, and Malcolm toppled back. Naomi had a glimpse of the shock
lighting his face before she pushed at Derek’s shoulders. When he
recoiled, she took advantage of the surprise factor and scrambled off
the bed.
She almost made
it to the bathroom, intent on getting her dress and hightailing it
out of there, but Derek caught her around the waist.
Naomi lashed
out, shoving her foot against his chest with such force that Derek
went hurling into the air and across the room. He landed awkwardly
against the walnut bureau, blood oozing from his cheek.
While Malcolm
stood motionless by the bed, watching openmouthed, Derek wiped a hand
across his face. He stared at the blood-smeared hand and staggered
dazedly to his feet. Naomi didn’t hang around. She grabbed her
dress from the bathroom and hurried into it. Snatching up her bag,
she beat a hasty retreat.
She dashed out
into the empty hallway and, with her dress half-zipped, fled down the
hotel stairs. The lights in the reception area were dimmed for the
night, but she focused on the revolving door ahead of her. When she
pushed at it, nothing happened. She gave it another shove before
realizing they were probably locked for security reasons. Glancing in
the direction of the reception desk, she saw a young man hurrying
toward her.
“Is everything
okay?” His pale eyes were full of concern. “Can I help you with
something?”
“Just let me
out of here,” she said. “Please.”
He hesitated,
and Naomi considered summoning that superhuman strength she’d found
upstairs to get the doors open.
“What the
hell’s going on?”
Her mind buzzed,
her body still trembled, but through the mayhem of it all, she
recognized the voice from behind her. She took a moment to center
herself, to find a degree of balance, which bordered on impossible as
memories slammed into her.
Tynan Galloway.
Naomi had spent
the past decade well over a hundred miles away from him, and during
the months she’d been back in Bodmin had managed to largely avoid
him. Now he decided to show up at the lowest point in her existence.
Well, not the lowest, but she wasn’t going there right then, and
certainly not with him looming beside her.
She turned, her
hands trembling around the strap of her bag, and met his piercing
emerald gaze. It had haunted her for so long, the devastating hue of
it. But now, facing it again, her heart trembled.
“I just need
to leave.” She swallowed before addressing the young porter. “Can
you please open the door?”
His concerned
gaze slid over her short black dress as, she imagined, did Tynan’s.
“Are you sure everything’s all right, miss?”
“Everything’s
fine. I just—”
“Brandy,”
Tynan said to the porter. “Double, I think.”
Before Naomi
could object, the young man nodded and slipped away. Tynan took her
arm and headed for a nearby chair. She tried to shake him off. She’d
had quite enough of being manhandled for one bloody evening.
“I don’t
want brandy. I just want to leave. I’ve had a crappy night.”
Still with his
hand on her arm, he swung her half around so her back was to him. “Is
that why your dress is unzipped?”
She took the
inference. “It’s none of your business.”
“If you’re
sleeping with a sleazebag who throws you out in the middle of the
night before letting you get dressed, I’m making it my business.”
He zipped her
dress, then plunked her down on the chair and pulled another one
close so he could sit facing her. His knees bumped hers.
The contact shot
a wave of longing through her. “All I want is to get out of here.
And what are you doing skulking around hotel lobbies in the middle of
the night? Doesn’t high-tech hacking keep you busy enough?”
“Yeah.” He
frowned, effectively ignoring her barbed comment. “But there’s
always room for more excitement.”
Seeing as she’d
had more than enough excitement for one night, Naomi found it hard to
agree.
The porter came
back with brandy, hovering over her like a mother hen while she
dutifully sipped at it. At Tynan’s nod, he moved away back to the
reception desk and left them alone in the dimly lit hall.
“Want to tell
me about it?”
She peered at
him through narrowed eyes. “No.”
Tynan kept a
steady focus on her, almost as if he could see right down to her very
soul. She remembered that look. She hated it.
“Did he hurt
you?”
He asked the question so quietly, so
gently, her eyes filled and she turned away. She was coming down, all
that adrenaline leveling out and leaving her raw, exposed. She’d
felt that way once before with Tynan, a long time ago. She hated that
too.
