Hero: Wolf shifter Jaxon Durham helps find missing hikers. When he sniffs out a firefighter who got in trouble battling a big blaze, he realizes it’s a “she” and she happens to be his mate.

Heroine: Brianna White can’t believe the wolf in front of her just shifted into a sexy, naked man. She thinks he is dreaming. Until he has dirty, dirty smex with her.

“Leave your hands here. If you touch me, I’ll come before I’ve had a chance to enjoy you.”

Didn’t seem fair to Brianna. “What about me?”

Jaxon smiled and lifted his gaze to her eyes while his fingers began to circle her nipples. “You are going to come over and over.I don’t have that same luxury. Two or three times will be my max.”

Two or three times? What guy could do that?

Brianna shook her head. It was cloudy up there. “I think you’re sadly mistaken if you think I can come over and over. You’ll be super lucky if I come once, and then only because I’ve never been this aroused in my life.”

The smile on his face spread. “We’ll see.” He pinched her nipples and then plucked at them. Brianna bucked beneath him, her torso trapped by his body straddling her. Her eyes rolled back and she lost him from her line of vision.

Jaxon shoved back a bit and leaned down. His body covered hers. She would have felt smothered normally, but instead, for some strange reason, she loved the way he got into her space.

No man had ever commanded her quite like this. Shit. All he’d done was ask her to keep her hands above her head and threatened to consume her. Was that really dominant? Subtle, but still… Jaxon dipped his head, licked one nipple and then blew across the wet skin. Goose bumps rose all over her torso.

“So sexy.” He moved to the other nipple and gave it the same treatment. Back and forth he traveled, setting up a pattern of plucking with his fingers on one nipple while licking and blowing on the other. Just when she thought she couldn’t take another minute of the torture, he sucked one straining tip into his mouth.

Perhaps he’d been right. She almost came. The torture was exquisite.

“God, Jax.” She rolled her head to the side and stared at the flickering light of her headlamp. The battery would surely go dead, but she didn’t care right now. “Please… I need you inside me.” Begging was not something she’d ever done before. When in her past had a man done enough to prepare her before taking for himself? Never.

“Not yet, baby.” He licked both nipples in succession and left them to cool in the open air while he wiggled his way down her body. Almost before she could contemplate what he’d done, her base layer pants disappeared, along with her panties and socks. Except for the material twisted around her wrists, she lay naked beneath him.

This is a fated mates story – so when Jaxon sniffs Brianna, he immediately knows she is his mate. They get trapped in a cave with a fire raging around them and he knows if they mate (have sex) they will be able to communicate telepathically which may help them escape safer. So they have dirty sex in the first few minutes they meet. Silly yes, but I also enjoy fated mate stories once in a while.

I enjoyed reading the erotic romance in this one a lot. Both characters are pretty fun. Complaints would be – yes they are fated mates, but Jaxon never finds the time to ask Brianna anything personal (outside of sex). Like does she have friends? Family? Hobbies? And this has a pretty abrupt ending. But it’s fun and quick and very sexy.
