We kiss and our hands roam over each other. I feel a need to touch him everywhere, searching for any missed injury or sign that he’s still hurt. I do feel a new scar or two, but eventually he takes my hands in his own and then, he just grabs me and lifts me up into his arms.

He settles me onto him and we move together. He holds me without effort as I roll my hips and urge him deeper. I kiss him harder as I get closer. I don’t care that some nosy neighbor could be out peeking over the fence. I don’t care about anything except the feeling of his body and mine.

His fingers dig into my ass as he tries to hold me steady. I bury my face in the nape of his neck and breathe him in, trying to hold every sensory detail of this moment forever.

My orgasm claws to the surface, and I arch backward. Just as it crashes over me, I feel him shudder. I feel my body flood with warmth and I hug him close. “I love you.”

He wraps his arms around me even more tightly. “I love you, too, my little zookeeper.”

I laugh and then, I kiss this incredible man once more.

“And you’re never scaring me like that again.”

“I’ll do my best.”

I slip to my feet, but I refuse to let him go. “Promise me.”

“What?”

“Promise me no more heroics.”

He strokes fingers through my hair. “I promise I will do my absolute best to not play the hero. Unless it’s for you.”

I smile. “I just want to hold you here.”

“Okay.”

And we stand there, naked together. Happy together.

I never plan to let go.

Epilogue

Three Years Later

We move almost frenetically. We always do on Saturday mornings. As I move above him, I hold tightly to his shoulders and roll my hips in something anyone watching would likely call desperation or… Maybe they would think I was frantic. Who knows. All I know is that for some reason, we always end up making love on Saturday mornings when he’s home and not at the firehouse. We always do, and it’s always like some sort of a race to get to the finish line as quickly as possible.

Well, I mean, of course it is.

Jacob and Jeremy could wake up at any moment and interrupt us.

And the twins would force us to stop. We can tell the older kids to play quietly until we come out of the room. Try telling that to one-year old tiger cubs.

Okay, well, they haven’t shifted yet but they’re shifters. It’s always a fifty-fifty chance when a shifter is with a pure human. Well, all four of our kids are shifters.

“Daniel!” I cry as my orgasm hits. Then, of course, I turn bright red with embarrassment as I imagine the boys telling their teacher or their Aunt Tina all about how I always scream his name in the morning.

Of course, it’s hard to stay embarrassed. It’s hard to feel anything other than happiness, actually. I have my incredible husband and four beautiful kids. I have everything I can imagine wanting, and everything is a pretty damned wonderful thing to have when it comes right down to it.

Did you enjoy readingDeadly Tiger’s Single Dad Crush? I hope so. I really enjoy writing about the Company 417 firemen shifters. You already know that if you’ve read any of the other books I’ve written. I’m definitely a shifter-loving girl. I don’t just have book boyfriends. I have a menagerie full of them! Bears, wolves, lions, tigers, and those giant majestic dragons!

I loved writing about Daniel, and I hope you found him as sexy as I did. I think any girl can go for a sexy fireman, of course. When you’re also looking at a tiger shifter, you’ve got even more reasons to love him, right?

Naturally, I fell in love with Daniel while I wrote the book. That isn’t going to surprise any of you out there who’ve read my other Company 417 books. At the end of all of them, I whine and moan about how much I love the men I wrote. Well, maybe I fall in love with every sexy shifter leading man I write. I can’t help myself! I always imagine I’m the lucky girl involved, and I did it this time, too, even though I’m not as young as Samantha and I’ve never been a nanny.

Samantha got herself a sexy man, an incredible firefighter, and a strong and powerful shifter. She got the real deal, I think!I have a feeling that she’s going to spend the rest of her life head over heels in love with Daniel. I get the feeling she’s going to learn a whole lot more about tigers, too. What do you think?

Do you love these two together like I do? What do you like about the characters?
