Excerpts: Kitty in the Middle

Here are two excerpts from the next upcoming book from the Purrfect Mates series!

STORY EXCERPT:

When some friends of Diets, we started playing host. Most of them must have come from the same fire Shem’s mate did because they all looked like they’d been through the wringer. There was soot all over their hair and clothes, and they wore expressions of exhaustion. Though most of them were my walking wet dreams, this was so not the time to try and pick up a date.
Besides, I was probably the most un-smooth man on the face of the planet. I was the eldest of my litter, and in my family I was loved, and my younger siblings came to me for advice a lot. But in the real world, I was invisible. Even at college I swear people walked through me most of the time. I was just plain and unnoticeable, except for the red hair with the black highlights.
I was trying not to pout that all these gorgeous men would never notice me unless I was holding the coffee and they wanted some when a strange, but sweetly intoxicating, scent hit my nose. Immediately, I zeroed in on the elevator as the doors opened and a god of a man stepped off. His eyes locked on mine for a split second, and he did a double take before focusing back on the group. Damn!
He had intense light green eyes that I swear looked almost yellow under the harsh lighting of the hospital. His short, light brown hair was sticking up all over the place from running his fingers through it while it wasn’t totally dry. The wet dream still had on his fireman pants with suspenders and a tight black shirt. And damn, he was tall with muscle on muscle. Yummy!
“I was told Diets’s brother is here,” he said loudly. I stepped closer to him without even knowing it. I’m sure everyone thought I was going to Shem when the man was referring to him. Shem had told the hospital staff that he was Diets’s brother so he could get any type of information. Mustn’t scare the humans by saying he was Diets’s mate.
“Me,” Shem squeaked out and then tried again. I heard a couple of growls as the man went over to Shem and invaded my brother’s personal space. Then I realized one of them was mine, but not because he was looking as if to intimidate Shem…because I didn’t want my mate focused on any of my brothers. He should only want me!
“Diets doesn’t have any brothers,” my mate whispered to Shem. None of the humans would have been able to hear him, but we could. I snuck closer until I was standing right next to my brother and mate. “But you’re just like he described the man he was in love with. Shem, I assume?”
“Yeah,” he sighed and then smiled at my mate. I kept the growl down this time, but I was still ready to grind steel with my teeth. “Sorry, but they wouldn’t give a flying fart that I’m his boyfriend. I figured since Diets spent some time in the foster system, maybe I could get away with saying a foster brother.”
“Smart and cute, Diets is a lucky guy.” My mate chuckled and stood up. Damn, he was tall. “Right, forgot you’re blind, sorry.” I glanced at Shem then and realized my brother was holding out his hand and waiting for my mate to take it. To touch him! “I’m Kaleb Bauer. Diets is my best friend.”
“Nice to meet you, Shem Cowell.”
“And I’m Ham Cowell,” I purred as I took Kaleb’s hand from Shem. I was being completely rude, I knew this. But it was either interrupt their conversation and get my mate to stop touching one of my brothers, or shift and drag my mate to a back corner until he focused on nothing but me. “Diets has such attractive and hot friends.”
“Oh? You think so?” Kaleb chuckled as he turned to look away from Shem to me now that I had his hand. When he closed his fingers around mine instead of me just holding his, I swear I felt a bolt of lightning shoot from him directly to my heart and then further down to my cock. Kaleb must have felt it, too, because he gasped. “You are so pretty—did you say Ham?”
“Yes, I’m Hameal, but everyone calls me Ham,” I whispered as I moved closer. God, I wanted to fucking hump his leg like I was in heat. Well, I was about to be in heat, so I guess it made sense. “And I’ll be your pretty anything, Kaleb.”
“Actually, most of my friends call me Kale,” he said seductively as he reached out to touch my face. “Jesus, you are so fucking gorgeous that I basically just outed myself to the men of my engine, and I don’t seem to care.”
“I’m sorry,” I replied with wide eyes and went to move away. “We shouldn’t do this here then. Drop your hand, no one will notice.”
“I don’t want to drop my hand, Ham,” Kale said as he eyed me over as if I was dinner. His Ham dinner to be specific. “I want to keep both hands on you at all times.”
“Are you free tomorrow for some lunch?” I asked, trying to focus on more than letting him touch me wherever he wanted. “I know there are a few things on you I’d like to eat.”
“Depends,” Kale drawled. “Are you normally this flirtatious? Am I just going to be a notch in your headboard?”
“Ham flirt?” Shem busted out laughing before I could answer. “Yeah, because he’s got such great lines. I don’t think I’ve ever seen him flirt or date.”
“Hey, I can flirt,” I said softly, wanting to roll my eyes at how stupid I sounded. I knew I was pouting, and Shem probably didn’t realize he was being a cock block, but like, damn.

ADULT EXCERPT:

When he reached for me, I turned around so he could get me ready.
“W–What?” I asked, worried he didn’t want me. Kale smiled softly at me as he turned me back around, spread my legs, and leaned over, reaching behind me.
“I want to see you, Ham.” I grabbed his arms and moaned as he ran his fingers over my hole. I could see the emotions flickering over his face as he pushed his middle finger in quickly. “I wanted to take all the time in the world to explore you slowly, baby. But we just don’t have it right now.”
“I know,” I whispered and tilted my head up. He kissed me as he stretched me, gently at first, but then the passion between us flared. I ignored the burning when he slid in a second finger, my hole not yet completely ready. It had been over a year since I’d had sex, and even then, I really didn’t have much experience.
But it was worth it to be with my mate. I was careful to show no signs of the slight pain. It startled me at first, though I found I enjoyed it when he scissored his fingers back and forth inside of me. It was heaven.
“Tell me what you need, Ham,” he whispered against my lips.
“Love me,” I blurted out. He froze for a moment and simply stared into my eyes. I wanted to smack myself in the forehead. I held my breath waiting for his response. Kale slowly smiled at me as his fingers started moving again.
“I think I will very easily, and the idea thrills me,” he said with a growl. Before I could reply, he pushed in a third finger, and I moaned as he instantly rubbed them over my sweet spot. “Will you be mine alone, baby?”
I hesitated for a moment. I wouldn’t be just his. We had another mate somewhere. So I said what I could to not ruin the moment but also not lie to my mate. “I will always be yours, Kale.”
“I like the sound of that.” Kale kissed me fiercely, nipping and sucking my bottom lip. I moved my arms up and around his neck as I pushed back on his fingers. In a flash, he pulled his fingers out and lifted me up. I got the idea and wrapped my legs over his hips as he lined up his cock with my hole. “You’re all mine now, baby. I’ve never met anyone who responds to my touch the way you do. I’m going to be addicted to you after this.”
“Okay,” I cried out as he lowered me onto him. He quickly kissed me quiet, which was smart given where we were. I’d gotten swept up in the moment and forgot we were still in the supply closet. I moved my hips so that I could take more of his huge dick into me. Kale was by far the biggest man I’d ever been with, and I wasn’t willing to wait until my body was ready.
I wanted him now!
“Sweet hell, Ham,” he groaned softly as my ass met his sac. “Never has it been like this. We’re a perfect fit.”
“Glad you want to keep me.” I giggled. His eyes flashed with lust as his nostrils flared. He moved us so that my back was against the door before he started to pull back out. Then, when just the head of his cock was still in me, he slammed into me hard. I bit my lip from crying out.
“If we weren’t in here where people could find us, I’d want to hear every little noise. It fucking gets me hot to know you’d be screaming my name. Does my cock give your sweet ass that much pleasure?”
“No,” I gasped as he thrust hard into me again. “Not your cock, you. You give me this much pleasure, Kale. All of you.”
“Right answer,” he growled and started to pound into me. I’d never had sex with, much less touched, anyone with this kind of need. Kale acted like he needed and desired me more than air, and I soaked it all up like rays of sunshine.
Maybe the socially inept artist would be able to find happiness after all? I knew I’d never have anyone understand me, even if it was just sexually, if they weren’t my mate. But how would Kale react to not only the news I was a shifter but my awkwardness?
“Stay with me, Ham,” Kale grunted as he thrust his hips faster. “Were you thinking of someone else?”
“No, never,” I said firmly as I stared in his eyes. “I was wondering how you seemed to know what I need from you before I even knew. How does your body knows what mine wants?”
“It’s fate,” he groaned and kissed me again. Yes! At least he believed in fate. That had to be a good sign.
I let go of my fears then and gave into the pleasure he was bringing me. When I did, it didn’t take long for me to come. My cock was rubbing against his toned, ribbed abs, and it was the sweetest torture.
“Kale!” I gasped and then bit my lip so hard it bled as I fell over the edge into my climax. My whole body shook with the force of it as I filled the space between us with my cum. His eyes went wide when my ass muscles clamped down, and Kale buried his face in my neck, moaning in pleasure. I was still riding my orgasm when he released his inside of me, filling me with his seed.
“Fuck, Ham,” he panted when we were both learning how to reuse our bodies.
“I’m pretty sure we just did and did it well,” I said with a smirk, trying to not laugh.
