Fighting Like Cats and Dogs
Reeks: Claimed by an Alpha
Lilith T. Bell
- A
- pregnant
- librarian
- isn't
- the
- sort
- of
- person
- who
- should
- have
- to
- worry
- about
- an
- alpha
- male
- werewolf,
- but
- luck
- isn't
- on
- Fatima
- Malik's
- side.
- After
- a
- week
- of
- ecstasy
- in
- a
- secluded
- cabin
- with
- Dylan
- Collinee,
- she
- ran,
- carrying
- his
- child.Now
- Dylan
- has
- hunted
- her
- down
- and
- isn't
- about
- to
- take
- no
- for
- an
- answer.
- Yet
- things
- are
- more
- complicated
- than
- a
- bit
- of
- panic
- over
- commitment.
- Fatima
- is
- a
- feline
- shifter
- herself
- and
- neither
- the
- wolves
- nor
- the
- cats
- are
- ready
- to
- accept
- such
- a
- forbidden
- mating.It
- would
- be
- so
- easy
- to
- put
- her
- faith
- in
- Dylan,
- who
- believes
- that
- love
- can
- conquer
- all.
- Yet
- before
- their
- love
- can
- face
- the
- threats
- from
- the
- rest
- of
- the
- world,
- it
- will
- have
- to
- crumble
- the
- walls
- Fatima
- has
- carefully
- built
- around
- her
- own
- heart.FIGHTING
- LIKE
- CATS
- AND
- DOGS
- is
- a
- paranormal
- romance
- novella.
- Be
- warned
- that
- it
- contains
- steamy
- romantic
- scenes
- between
- a
- sexy
- dominant
- werewolf
- and
- a
- catgirl
- who
- just
- can't
- tell
- him
- no.***As
- he
- leaned
- in
- to
- close
- the
- distance
- between
- us,
- I
- held
- my
- breath.
- It
- came
- out
- shakily
- when
- his
- lips
- finally
- touched
- mine.
- The
- soft
- brush
- of
- that
- kiss
- broke
- something
- inside
- of
- me
- and
- I
- pressed
- close
- to
- him,
- sliding
- in
- closer
- across
- the
- bench
- seat.
- His
- hand
- on
- my
- wrist
- brought
- my
- arm
- up,
- settling
- it
- around
- his
- shoulders,
- and
- his
- other
- hand
- moved
- to
- the
- small
- of
- my
- back
- to
- draw
- me
- into
- his
- lap.
- I
- laughed
- quietly
- against
- his
- lips
- as
- I
- wriggled
- my
- way
- between
- him
- and
- the
- steering
- wheel.
- My
- belly
- wasn’t
- that
- big
- yet,
- but
- more
- than
- enough
- to
- make
- it
- awkward.“Give
- me
- a
- chance.”
- His
- deep
- voice
- rumbled
- in
- his
- chest
- as
- he
- abandoned
- my
- lips
- to
- move
- down
- my
- throat.
- The
- scrape
- of
- stubble
- against
- that
- tender
- skin
- made
- me
- shudder,
- then
- gasp
- when
- I
- felt
- his
- teeth
- scrape
- over
- my
- pulse
- point.
- “That’s
- all
- I’m
- asking.”There
- was
- something
- so
- foreign
- in
- his
- pleas.
- He
- still
- sounded
- so
- strong,
- so
- powerful,
- and
- yet
- he
- could
- show
- me
- how
- desperate
- he
- was
- for
- me.
- I
- didn’t
- trust
- my
- own
- desirability
- to
- ever
- need
- anyone
- like
- that.
- It
- would
- only
- be
- offering
- myself
- up
- for
- pain
- and
- shame
- and
- rejection.The
- fingers
- of
- my
- free
- hand
- slid
- through
- his
- hair,
- holding
- him
- close
- to
- me,
- and
- I
- turned
- my
- head
- to
- nuzzle
- his
- temple.
- My
- voice
- was
- a
- soft
- whisper.
- “Please
- don’t
- say
- those
- things.
- Just
- let
- this
- be
- what
- it
- is.”Whether
- he
- agreed
- with
- me
- or
- not,
- he
- grew
- silent.
- His
- hands
- reached
- behind
- me
- to
- adjust
- the
- steering
- wheel,
- tilting
- it
- toward
- the
- dashboard
- to
- give
- us
- more
- space.
- His
- lips
- never
- left
- my
- throat.
- They
- kissed
- and
- nibbled,
- occasionally
- teasing
- at
- my
- skin
- with
- the
- tip
- of
- his
- tongue.
- Bit
- by
- bit,
- his
- kisses
- moved
- downward
- and
- his
- deft
- fingers
- unbuttoned
- my
- shirt.
- When
- he
- reached
- my
- now
- bare
- collarbone,
- he
- followed
- along
- it
- with
- silky
- brushes
- of
- his
- lips.
- Everything
- was
- so
- different
- with
- him,
- light-years
- away
- from
- any
- other
- lover
- I’d
- had.
- Once
- he
- had
- my
- shirt
- unbuttoned
- down
- to
- my
- belly,
- he
- pulled
- back
- either
- side
- of
- it
- like
- the
- petals
- of
- a
- flower opening.
