This is an excerpt from a Werewolves of Montana story Im working on called Seduction, in which Aiden plays matchmaker. (copyright 2014 by Bonnie Vanak) “This is Nikita Blakemore. My future mate,” Aiden said. “Don’t be so certain.” Nikita studied him coolly. “Jeremy. You’re a good-looking alpha. Only alphas can compete in the challenge for the right to mate with me. Interested?” Now it was Aiden’s turn to scowl. Jeremy’s mouth went dry. Focus, focus, you can say the words. She’s just another pretty, confident Lupine. Not like those ones who teased you… His nostrils twitched at her delicate fragrance and the scent of arousal. For all her harsh words, Nikita was very interested in Aiden claiming her. The sudden realization made his tongue relax and his throat soften. He pushed back his hat and shrugged. “Got another lady in mind.” Whoa, five whole words spoken without hesitation. He felt amused and disgusted with himself. Nikita’s eyes widened. “Who? Anyone I know? Does she know you’re interested?” Now his chest tightened. “N-n-one of y-y-y-our business.” Heat flushed his face and his body tensed, ready to fight or shift into wolf. Damnit! Claws emerged from his fingers. Jeremy locked gazes with her, daring her to laugh. But Nikita didn’t laugh. Her expression softened. “You’re right. It’s not.” Jeremy willed his tongue to relax. “She’s local.” Two whole words spoken without a stutter. Hooray! He wanted to throw up. “And belongs to Stan’s pack,” Aiden put in. Nikita wrinkled her nose. “That loser? He’s practically bankrupt.” She turned to him and her radiant smile made him understand why Aiden wanted her so much. “I’m sure she’ll be glad to leave Stan’s pack for a better alpha like you.” “Better than me?” Aiden asked and then he laughed at her outraged expression. “A gnome with warts would make a better mate than you, Mitchell. He’d probably kiss better, too,” she told him. A determined look flashed across the male’s face, then Aiden pushed back from his desk and in two giant strides, pulled Nikita into his arms. She scowled and as her lips parted in a protest, he covered her mouth with his. Nikita fisted her hands and pushed against Aiden, but then her fingers relaxed and she leaned into the kiss. Jeremy forgot his earlier humiliation and watched. This was the kind of passion he longed for, the mating heat that made males frenzied with need and females soft with yearning. He’d found his woman. Now he needed to claim Alexa. Soon. Aiden released Nikita and rubbed a thumb along her swollen lower lip. “Any time you want another one, let me know. You need to be kissed and kissed often, sweetheart.” Flushing, she backed up, her legs connecting with the end table. Nikita scowled. “Screw you, Mitchell.” “Not before were formally mated, sweetheart. He grinned. Youre worth the wait.”
