Councel's Agent - Luberia Mai 2 http://www.bookstrand.com/councils-agent3
Riley was about
five feet from reaching the corner when a small thud made him look to his
right. Huge claw-tipped paws followed by the massive mane-covered head and
monstrous body of a lion were coming straight at him. The next second Riley was
knocked to the ground landing flat on his back.
Like any
self-respecting man who had a considerable amount of weight lying on top of him,
Riley took a few seconds to regain his ability to breathe again, shallow though
it may be. Then Riley started to fight.
Lifting his hands, he went to push the
lion’s head away, only to have his fingers sink into the silky depths of the
animal’s thick mane. Grabbing hunks of hair he frantically tried to move the
enormous face that was just inches from his own.
Instead of backing off, the beast opened
its mouth wide, showing Riley long, pointed snowy-white teeth. Hot waves of air
flowed over him as a deafening roar shook him to his very depths. Desperately,
Riley decided that now was a good time to pass out. It had always been his wish
that when it was time for him to die, that it would happen in his sleep. Since
he wasn’t currently asleep and he was ninety-nine percent sure he was about to
die, being passed out cold was the next best thing.
Unfortunately, a wide-awake Riley
continued to lie on the soft grass with his eyes squeezed shut and his hands
still immersed and tangled in the lion’s mane. The weight of the over warm
furry body on top of him was becoming uncomfortable and heavy. Riley braced
himself and waited, anticipating the feel of the lion’s razor-sharp teeth
tearing into him. Nothing happened.
Drawing in as deep of a breath as the
large body on top of him would allow, Riley manned up and opened his eyes.
Yellow eyes peered back down at him as he returned the great beast’s stare.
Then Riley felt his eyes widen as far as they would go, and he emitted a low
wheeze as the big cat opened his mouth, and a rough tongue swiped up over the
side of his head and tangled in his long brown hair.
It took a while for his heart to slow
down from the near miss of being lion food, but now Riley’s brain was starting
to kick in. The reason he was in this town and on Puma Lane in the first place
came back like a bright neon light blinking in the darkness. And then he thought
about Katherine’s secret.
“Get off me, cat,” Riley ordered.
The lion didn’t move. His relentless
gaze continued to study Riley. He knew what the cat saw. Riley had a mass of
thick curly brown hair that almost reached his shoulders. His eyes were a dark
gray with thick black slashing eyebrows over them. He had a straight prominent
nose, and Katherine claimed kissable plump lips. Riley wasn’t sure about that,
but he did try to keep a five o’clock shadow that was so popular, to make him
look more rugged.
“I know what you are, so like I’ve
already told you. Get the hell off me,” Riley said.
The next moment Riley had a huge,
muscled blond man on top on him. When the man rolled to his feet, Riley’s
relief was short-lived as it became apparent the man was naked. Then the
stranger reached down and easily picked Riley up and threw him over his wide
shoulder.
“What the hell are you doing?” Riley
demanded. “Put me down.”
A sharp crack sliced through the air and
hot pain bloomed over Riley’s ass cheek. “Quiet, mate,” the lion-man ordered.
Riley froze in shock. He knew what a
mate was. The man had better be wrong because Riley’s plans were to disappear
with Katherine. When a shifter found a mate, it was all-consuming and forever.
Riley couldn’t be part of that. He had to find Katherine and they had to get
out from under the cat council’s radar.
Riley started pounding on the man’s back
and kicking his legs. Those actions resulted in his ass clutching tight and
becoming red hot when more painful slaps landed on it.
“Knock it off, baby. If I have to stop
and put you over my knee, I will.” The infuriating man kept walking.
“Please, you have to let me go,” Riley
pleaded. “I have to find Katherine.”
Riley’s feet touched the ground and
large hands held him tightly by the shoulders. “Who is Katherine?” the man
demanded.
Looking up into the shifter’s gorgeous
face, Riley had trouble answering. Intense hazel eyes were probing his soul,
looking for answers and causing all of his thoughts to scatter in the wind. A
sudden need to wind himself around the delicious sea of muscles before him had
his body trembling.
Riley’s shoulders were shaken roughly,
making his teeth chatter together. “Answer me now. Who is Katherine?”
Riley brought his hands up to catch his
balance and they landed on the man’s hard chest. His fingers had a mind of
their own and began sifting through the soft pelt of blond hair that covered
the wide plain of muscles and golden skin.
One hand released his shoulder and his
chin was lifted, forcing his eyes from the wonder before him, only to be
captured by that intense hazel gaze. “Don’t make me ask again.”
“Katherine is my friend. I was following
her when you tackled me,” Riley answered. From behind him, he heard the roar of
a lion and the howl of a wolf. Riley frowned when the skin on his face and arms
tingled with little zings of electricity and the air all around him thickened,
becoming heavy with something magical. The man still holding his chin chuckled,
making the hair on Riley’s neck stand straight up. “I don’t think you will have
to worry about your friend. By the smell and sound of things, Katherine is
going to be busy for at least the next couple of weeks.”
“Katherine just found her mate, didn’t
she?” Riley asked. Most of Riley was happy for his best friend, but a part of
him hurt for the loss of their closeness. Katherine had explained that when one
found their mate, their whole world became just the two of them. Riley knew
that meant he was now, once more on the outside.
“As you did, my baby.” The man was
practically purring and looked like he wanted to kiss Riley. Just before their
lips met, the lion-man straightened up and grabbed Riley’s hand. Now Riley did
have to run to keep up with the man’s sprint across the grass to a four-door
dark sedan, parked beneath one of the yellow streetlights, next to the curb.
Riley’s backpack that somehow was still
hanging from one arm was taken and thrown into the backseat. The big man opened
the passenger door and Riley was soon seated in the car. Riley watched the man
gracefully stride naked, except for a metal black wrist bracelet, around the
front of the car. Now he could see the man’s cock was thick, long, and set
above an impressive pair of furry balls. It would take a major amount of lube
to handle a cock that size. Riley’s asshole clutched together, feeling the pull
of attraction between them and remembering the man’s claim that he was his
mate.
Sliding behind the car’s steering wheel,
Riley watched him reach up, take a key out of the sun visor, start the car, and
put it into gear.
“What’s your name?” Riley asked.
The man put the car back into the
parking gear and turned, putting his thick arm along the back of the seat.
Riley felt a finger playing with his hair. “My name is Samuel Craydon. As you
saw, I am a lion shifter. I also am an agent for the cat council.”
Riley didn’t even think. Opening the car
door he was out of the vehicle and running down the street as fast as he could.
Pivoting to the right, he ran between two houses hoping to escape into the
darkness.
