Alpha Protectors, 1
He’s the kind of man her mother
warned her to steer clear from...
Mystique is happy with her current life, but for years she's struggled on a path of self-destruction. She knows she shouldn't get involved with the brooding hunk at the bar, but how can she stay away when his sorrowful gaze is so compelling?
Reine has lost everything: his wife, his friends, his ability to fight, and his identity as an Alpha Protector. There's nothing left for him except a world of anger and bitterness. At least, that’s what he believes until he meets an intrepid waitress.
The attraction between them is immediate, but while Reine can’t let go of his past, Mystique is not willing to return to hers. With darkness constantly closing in, will they find a way to be together? Or, will Reine's behavior destroy their future?

Excerpt:
Reine sighed. “Can we talk about
something else?”
“Sure,” she agreed. She observed him
for an instant. His eyes were closed. Her gaze traveled across his nose and
over to his full lips. Damn it if she didn’t want to kiss him. She lay back
down, trying to still her beating heart. “What would you like to talk about?”
she asked.
“How about this insane attraction
we’re both feeling?”
“What?” Mystique squeaked.
“You heard me.”
Mystique shut her eyes as she heard
the rustle of his clothes. She didn’t dare open them.
“I haven’t felt so attracted to any
woman in over two years, and from what you’ve told me, it’s been a while for
you too.”
Eight years, she thought. She’d kept
herself away from one-night stands and sex with others in general, afraid she’d
become angry and bitter again if things didn’t work out. She played with her
toys and enjoyed her body on her own. It had been enough, until Reine.
He was
driving her hormones crazy.
“Well, yes.” She licked her lips.
“Damn it, woman, do you know what
that does to me?”
Mystique gasped as Reine’s lips
brushed against hers.
“It makes me want to devour your
mouth,” he whispered.
“I’m sorry,” she said, sounding
breathless to her own ears.
“Don’t be. Look at me,” Reine said
gruffly.
She opened her eyes and found his
face inches away. The intensity of his gaze was like looking into a pool of
flaming desire that threatened to consume her.
“I thought—”
“Don’t think. It’ll make it easier.”
She didn’t have time to issue a
protest as he lowered his head and kissed her. They both groaned as their lips
melded against each other. His teeth snagged on her bottom lip, pulling
slightly and making her body react like a fire alarm at the first hint of
smoke. His tongue licked a path across her bottom and upper bow, and she
eagerly opened up for him, needing to taste more. Her nipples hardened beneath
her top.
Reine pulled her up into a sitting
position and smashed his lips against hers. He possessed her mouth with his,
not with strength, but with the ability of a man who knew what he was doing.
His tongue delved deep, intertwining with hers. Mystique moaned. Her mind went
blank, her senses taking priority over anything else. All she could do was feel
the touch of his hand on her back, and the warmth of his mouth against hers.
Breathless, they both pulled back
after a few minutes. Her hands trembling, she pushed a few strands of his hair
away from his face. Reine kissed her gently. She angled her head and he
explored her mouth at a more leisurely pace.
“You drive me insane,” he whispered.
“This is not normal,” he insisted.
Mystique giggled.
“I want to fuck you,” he groaned
into her ear. He brought her hand to his cock. Eagerly, she stroked him over
his jeans. Liquid rushed to coat her panties and a dull ache began to throb
between her legs.
“And what are you waiting for?”
“I can’t. Not here. Not after what
you’ve told me.”
“What?” She placed a hand on his
chest and pushed back. “What do you mean?”
