Page 20 of Raging Heat

Under the blankets, Vera moans and her hand appears next to Caleb’s arm, grabbing in my direction.

“She wants more of your scent.”He chuckles, pulling me closer, so I’m nearly sitting in his lap, his pheromones slowly surrounding me.

He’s trying to soothe me with his pheromones, trying to soothe us, and I realise he’s not as calm as he looks.He’s doing what he can to keep the situation under control.

I take Vera’s hand, and the next moment I’m almost hauled under the blankets as she pulls my hand as close to her as possible.She’s really warm, almost feverish, as she rubs her face all over my hand and arm, taking in my scent and leaving hers behind.

My pheromones spike again, at her actions, at the way her pheromones make me feel, at how much I like this.At how clearly she wants me…

It’s a heady feeling, knowing you’re this wanted by someone, and it messes with my head, making me emotional.

“Jorge.”Caleb’s voice is carefully restrained as his arm around me tenses.“Bring the rest of the new blankets and pillows into the nest.Then take everything off the bed and put that into the nest too.Don’t worry about making it nice, just do it.”

“Will do.”Jorge moves, but all my focus is now on Vera, who’s slowly pulling me into her pile, into her world.

I want more of her.

My breathing deepens and my skin flushes with warmth.I want her closer to me, so much closer.

Caleb tries to hold onto me for a few moments, but then lets me go as I slide under the blankets with Vera.

Her cocoon is so warm, but I don’t mind it at all as we’re skin to skin, her pheromones surrounding me, making mine spike higher than they’ve been in a decade.

She pulls me on top of her, her hands on my bare back, on my arms, anywhere she can touch my skin.Every time she moves her hands, the temperature difference between her heated skin and mine becomes smaller as my body warms up.

“You smell good.”Her voice is hoarse, quiet, next to my ear.“So good.”

“You too.”I kiss her shoulder.I can’t see anything under here, but I don’t need to see her, we can get by with only touch.“You smell good enough to eat.”

That makes her moan.“Please.I need to come.Please.”Her skin flushes hot and my mind clouds for a moment, unable to resist.

“Yes.”I swallow hard, burying my nose against her neck.“Yes.”

I slide my hand down her body, enjoying every soft curve, until my fingers are between her legs.She feels so fucking good.

A flash of heat shoots through me, taking me by surprise, and I still.

No.

This can’t be happening.

“Mathew?”Vera’s pheromones flood over me, desire and worry at the same time, and another wave of heat rolls through me.

Oh, no.

This can’t be happening to me.Thisdoesn’thappen to me.

Suddenly, the warmth in Vera’s cocoon is too much and I try to get out, but there are too many blankets and I can’t find my way.

My mind clouds over, disbelieving what’s going on, and it’s hard to breathe.

“Mathew!”Vera’s voice is stronger now and it’s suddenly cooler as the blankets disappear.

“Mathew!”Caleb is at our side and his Alpha pheromones make me whine, making me perfume more, before I jerk away from his touch, fear flashing through me.

No!

This is bad.
