out and she felt she was once more in control, she went back to questioning Saxon.
    “What are you, Saxon?”
    “We are shape-shifters, April. Our forest is full of different were kind. We are of the panther clan, but there are others, such as bears, coyotes, wolves, lions, tigers, and a few others I cannot remember right now.”
    “It was you, wasn’t it? You and your brother bit me last night. What the hell did you do that for? You scared the shit out of me. I thought you were going to eat me for dinner. How the hell is this even possible? Please, I don’t belong here. You need to help me get home.”
    “Enough, April.” Gage’s deep, raspy voice penetrated April’s frantic mind. She turned her head to see him closing the bedroom door behind him and moving further into the room. “You are becoming hysterical. You are our mate. We have already claimed you. There is no way we are letting you go home now. You are going to have to come to terms with that.”
    “You’ve claimed me? What the fuck gave you the right to claim me, like I was some sort of possession? I can’t believe this shit. Where are my clothes?” April yelled.

    Gage had had enough. He knew April was ranting and screaming because she was afraid, but he wasn’t going to let her get away with disrespecting him. He slowly walked toward her and saw her eyes widen with apprehension, and she nodded at him in quiet acquiescence. He didn’t stop, just kept right on going until April had backed herself into the wall. He had her totally at his mercy. He stopped when he could feel the heat emanating from her delicious little body. She was so small and fragile compared to his great size. He breathed in the sweet scent of her female musk, but he could also smell her underlying fear. He didn’t want to scare his little mate, but he couldn’t hold himself back anymore. He wanted to taste her sweet, luscious mouth, and he had every intention of doing so.
    Gage heard April whimper as he moved his hands down to her small waist. He gripped her in his hands, being careful not to squeeze her too hard, and lifted her up until she was eye level with him. He stared deeply into her sky-blue eyes and felt himself drowning within their depths. He slowly lowered his head closer to hers, until his lips were resting on hers lightly, a butterfly of a touch. He could feel her hot, sweet, moist breath panting out onto his lips and moved that last fraction of an inch, taking her mouth with a ravenous hunger. He slanted his mouth over hers, parting her lips with his own, making room to thrust his tongue into the depths of her sweet mouth. He growled low in approval at the first taste of her sweetness and knew he would never be able to get enough of his mate.
    Gage moved one of his massive arms, until the palm of his hand was beneath the cheeks of April’s ass, supporting her slight weight as he kissed her hungrily. He began to purr deep in his throat as his mate tentatively slid her tongue along the length of his. Her slight, hesitant capitulation had Gage’s beast breaking free and taking over. He slanted his mouth over hers again and again, thrusting his tongue into her sweet recess, sliding his tongue over the roof of her mouth, along the inside of each of her cheeks, over her teeth, and then back to her tongue. He moaned again when he felt April wrap her arms around his neck and her legs around his waist. He grasped the globes of her ass in each hand and began to thrust his leather-covered, turgid erection against her warm, wet sex. Gage felt April’s hard nipples rubbing against his chest and realized the towel she’d been wrapped in had fallen from her sexy little body. He moved quickly over to the bed, lowered her to the mattress, and followed her down without breaking the contact of their mouths. He felt the bed dip and knew Saxon had joined them on the bed.
    Gage released April’s lips, giving them both a chance to drag air into their oxygen-depleted
