past his hand, into her core. She felt her undies dampen. He gave another kiss under her earlobe at the sensitive spot. Her heart pumped wildly.

His hand on her stomach inched lower until his pinky grazed just under the waistband of her shorts. Talk about teasing. She sucked her belly in allowing him to go lower. His hot fingertips glided along the top of her undies.

Spooned against her back, his nose pushed her chin up, and his lips sucked the length of her collarbone to her throat, where his tongue traced the skin to her mouth. He rolled her onto her back and a few of the acorns fell out. She didn’t care, but his nimble fingers left her waistband and plucked the dual offenders off the ground and back into her pouch. How he accidentally grazed her breasts in the process, she had no idea.

She raised her chest, dropping her shoulders, hoping he would find something else to put in her carry-all. He didn’t find anything to add, but he did find his way under the damn shirt that she wanted out of his way.

His hand rubbed over her skin until his hot digits pressed against the underside of her breast, his thumb sliding up between her mounds. Hell, yes. Chills ran down her side and one leg. She needed him to cup her and tweak her hardened nipples to relieve some of the fire burning in her channel for him. But the bastard kept his palm flat over her ribs and slid around the perimeter.

She was ready to growl at him for the long, intense tease, but his tongue was in her mouth. And, dammit, her hands had to hold her shirt or everything would fall out, which was sounding more appealing by the second.

Damn, she was going to ignite if he didn’t do something. She’d never been this needy with any other male. And never had a male moved so slowly at this point of making out. Usually she was the one applying the brakes, pulling his hands out of her pants and off her boobs. Now, she could barely get him to touch her. Why was he holding back? His stone hard dick said he wanted it.

On the other side of the mound where the fur babies and mama played, a squeal to rival any emergency vehicle echoed, startling her and Xenos apart. A low, deep growl just on the other side of the mound scared the shit out of her. The tiger/jaguar mother had snuck up on them and was about to attack her and Xenos.

Instead of eating lunch, they were about to become it.

Chapter Ten

Xenos popped up to see what was happening on the other side of the berm they lay on. The mama had her cubs tucked away; while she had slinked closer to the mound he and his mate watched from. Not directly at him, but to the side where a kappy was running from them.

Was the kappy spying on him and his mate? Why hadn’t he smelled the creature? He was deep into his mate’s arousal and hunger, but he should’ve been protecting her still. He had to be more careful from here on. His stupidity couldn’t be the reason she died.

He reached his hand down to help his mate up; while he watched the kappy and beast to make sure they didn’t get too close to his mate. When she didn’t take his hand, he glimpsed down at her. What a sight!

She was stunning with the flush to her cheeks and her hair messed around her face. Her chest rose and fell quickly, jiggling her incredible breasts. He’d never seen anything so alluring. He wanted to bury his cock and face between them, lick the moisture created by their lovemaking. He would be the luckiest male in the jungles.

He scooped her up instead. When she was in her arms, she saw the mama chasing the short two-legged creature. The little thing made the huge shrieking noise.

“What’s that?” she asked.

“Kappy.”

“Never heard of one of those before. Must be another thing like the man-eating flower that the world doesn’t know about.”

He carried her off the mound as she situated the load in her arms. What was she talking about? The kappies had been on the planet since the beginning. His ancestors had many stories about them being jokesters and thieves who would take things and hide them from the owners. They were too small to do big magic, but big enough to
