Excerpt:
Excerpt
from chapter one of Jessica Aspen’s Little Red Riding Wolf
Evan.
She
rolled his name through her mind, resisted the desire to taste the flavor of it
on her tongue. Maybe if she wasn’t touching him she could do this…carry on a
normal conversation. She struggled for something to say, something that would
cover this incredible desire to fuck a complete stranger.
“Welcome
to Radon,” she managed to get out. “How do you like it so far?” Inane. Moronic.
But it was out now. She hoped he couldn’t see the shaking that had started at
his touch, or smell the moisture between her legs. Lucky he was only human.
Calm
down, Red! You can do this. You have to do this.
“It’s
been interesting. It’s a pretty tight-knit little town.” His smile had warmed,
become friendly. And interested.
She
knew what that appraising look meant. She’d received it from all the available
males her parents had invited to their house in an effort to entice her to
settle down. But that look from the bachelor wolves had never made her feel
like this. Feel like her whole body was tuned in to his. Like she should get on
all fours and push her ass in the air, spread her legs, and beg.
Her
palms were damp. She caught him checking her out and was glad her hoodie was
zipped up tight and covered her chest. Her nipples had tightened so fast, so
hard, they almost hurt.
“Town’s
been a little tough on you, huh?” she asked. Poor guy, he couldn’t have known
what coming to this area would be like. They hadn’t had a ranger in the area
who wasn’t pack in her lifetime. The county was up in arms.
“You
could say that.” He shot her a conspiratorial smile that warmed his eyes to
molten chocolate. She had a sudden vivid picture of a sheepskin rug and him
lying naked in front of a fire, her lips and tongue tracing the contoured lines
of muscles illuminated by the flames.
She
dragged her mind back and forced it to focus on the present. Focus on the words
coming out from between his sexy lips.
“You’re
the friendliest person I’ve run into in this town. Where have you been hiding?”
Wrong
question ranger. The question was who had been hiding him from her? Now her
mother keeping her home from work to make jam had begun to make sense. Maybe
her mother would never think she was an adult. Although maybe her mother was
right, given her lusty thoughts, maybe she should be sequestered.
“I
normally work at the general store in town. I must have just missed you.” Yeah
right. Did that sound as lame to him as it had to her? She lifted her chin. Her
mother had been making up excuses to keep her at the family’s house all week.
Despite being sent off to the boonies she had met the hot new guy in town.
Her
mother’s plan had backfired.
“Is
that Burdock’s? It’s the only general store I’ve seen.” One long hand reached
up, pushed his thatch of hair back off his face in an unconscious slow sensual
movement. The hair fell forward back into place as soon as he released it, dark
and thick.
“Yeah,
I guess you’ve been in there.”
“Yeah.
Is the black haired dude with the bad-ass attitude who mans the counter
related?” His eyes crinkled up at the corners when he smiled. An urge to spread
her thighs slid through her. In an effort to control it, she clenched them
tight.
What
had he asked?
“Seth,”
she said, relieved she knew what to say. “He’s one of my brothers. He’s none
too happy that you’re here.”
“Why is
that?”
“Let’s
just say that we’re a typical small town. Outsiders aren’t really welcome.”
“You
know, you’re the first woman I’ve met under thirty all week. I was beginning to
wonder where they all were.”
Dangerous
territory here. She’d better be careful of what she said. Obviously the alphas
had the few available females under lock and key.
“We
have a surplus of men in this town. You probably just missed the women.” She
shouldn’t be talking to him. He made her so nervous, she just knew she would
slip and let something out. Something that would alert him that all was not as
it seemed in small town Radon, Colorado.
“Well it’s been nice chatting, but I have to
get going.”
She
smiled and started to move off down the path again, but he stepped in front of
her, blocked her.
The
back of her neck prickled.
She
supposed he was eager to talk to the only friendly face in town, but she wished
he would back off. She was having enough trouble controlling herself as it was.
Her heightened senses told her to take action. Now.
He’d
moved too close. His spicy male scent filled her nostrils, caressed her skin.
Made her want to bury her face in the crook of his neck and inhale, suck him in
like oxygen before going underwater.
“Where
are you off to?”
“My
grandmother lives up the mountain. I’m just going to check on her and stay a
while.”
His face
lost its easy smile, grew concerned. “You’re hiking up the mountain by
yourself? A woman like you shouldn’t be out here alone.” She bristled at his
statement. Just like her brother! What was it with men and their bossy
attitudes?
“A
woman like me? Slow down buster! I’ve been hiking this mountain since I could
walk. You’re out here alone, why not me?”
“But
I’m a trained outdoorsman. You hardly look prepared in those shorts if the
weather changes. What do you have in that pack?” He moved closer to her, and
she backed up, suppressing the desire to bare her teeth. With relief she
channeled her newfound sexuality into anger instead. This she understood.
Human
or not, he was beginning to get her back up, just like any other male.
“I’ll
be at Grandma’s before dark. And it’s an incredible day. No storm in sight. See
ya.” She edged around him and moved back onto the path, determined to put him
and temptation, behind her.
“Wait,
I’ll go with you. There are signs of hunters in the area, you shouldn’t be
hiking alone.” He picked up his oversize pack with ease. Then scrambled, trying
to buckle the waist straps and keep up with her at the same time. She stepped
up the pace.
She
could feel him close behind, knew he was eye level with her ass. Knew he
watched her backside swish with each step.
Her
tingling nerves began to send messages again. With him nipping at her ankles,
she felt like prey.
“No,
thanks. You won’t be able to keep up.” She moved faster, pumped her legs in a
rapid rhythm on the familiar trail.
His
legs might be longer than hers, but she had Were stamina and a light pack. No
way he could keep up with her for long.
“Hey,
I’ve been through hell in the military. If I could keep up in basic, then I can
keep up with you little girl.”
She
laughed, flashed a catch-ya-later look over her shoulder, and put on a hair
more speed. He’d find out soon enough that she might be little, but she had
more oomph in this little package than most. And he could just watch her swish
her tail until she was out of sight.
Review
Yummy! This story is romantic, hot, funny, hot,
sexy, oh and did I mention hot? This
story has something for people who like shifter stories, romance stories,
werewolf stories, and erotic stories. It
made me laugh, which I appreciate in a story.
My only complaint was it was too short. I can’t wait to read more. I hope Seth finds a stubborn, strong willed human female to fall in love with… it
would serve him right.
I give
this story 4.5 out of 5 clouds and a 7 on the chili pepper scale.

Thanks for sharing this with you readers! And Snow and the Seventh Wolf, Seth's story is out now!
