Masquerade Party Guests
The main characters from The Fire Inside are invited to a masquerade party. What are their costumes?
Konrad would dress as a wolf just to push Tyra’s buttons. I can nearly hear her asking him if he has lost his mind.
Tyra would dress up as Red Riding Hood hoping to convince people it was all a game and that there really wasn’t any real wolf to see here. But it would be a sexy Red Riding Hood so she could push Konrad’s buttons right back.
The Fire Inside
Werewolves be damned. Tyra Smith chose to leave behind her nature to protect her heart after the wrenching loss of her own pack. She wants nothing to do with another wolf. Never again wants to feel the deep pain of loss. At least until a sexy-as-sin wolf named Konrad shows up, saving her from the roaming paws of another wolf.
The sparks of lust ignite a desire that burns with hellish intensity inside her, making her crave something she’d dared to forsake. The ability to resist wanes. Is it a true mate bond that pulls her to him or just the heat cycle she’s entering? Something only time can tell.
When a real threat from another pack presents itself, Tyra must move into Konrad’s den for her physical protection. But as things continue to heat up between the two of them, will he also be able to protect her heart?
The following excerpt from THE FIRE INSIDE is for readers 18 and over.
“Tyra,” he said in a husky whisper.
Her breasts felt full and her nipples hardened. Warm breath fanned her lips as his mouth hovered above her own. His body seemed to whisper promises of hidden delights beyond her wildest dreams. She just had to give in to the temptation. One word and she would know what it felt like to be pressed up against him; filled by him. All she had to do was say yes.
A loud bang above them had her eyelids popping open, and her head tilting further up. The fight upstairs had picked up a notch. She looked back at Konrad who hadn’t taken his gaze from her. This time she did push, with both hands, and he backed up a few steps, dropping his arms to his sides.
A deep breath filled her lungs. She’d been close to making a huge mistake. Her gaze met his once more. “You need to leave.”
“Tyra, why are you fighting this? I know you want this.”
“My body wants this, not my mind.”
“Then let me ease your body.”
“I don’t need you to ease me.” Another quiver of desire rolled through her, her body’s rebuttal to her words. It would be so easy to say yes. Her gaze roamed over his face, taking in the stubborn set of his jaw, then continued lower noticing the powerful set of his wide shoulders. She fought the desire that had her wanting to look lower, her teeth sinking into her lower lip. She squeezed her eyes shut and balled her hands into fists. “For the love of God, put a towel on or something.”
She heard his sigh followed by his footsteps going toward her small bathroom. When she heard him return, she opened her eyes and looked at him again. Even with the pink bath sheet wrapped around his lean hips he looked every bit the alpha male.
