stripped out of his pants. Almost laughed as he realized this was one of the oddest first dates he’d ever been on.
Then he sobered, as he thought of what lay ahead. Fear of failing lay like a lump of stone in his chest. He hoped like hell he’d be able to shift. Hoped Lily wouldn’t stand witness to an embarrassing failure.
His father’s critical words filled his head, the man’s absolute inability to accept his son’s occasional mistakes. Then Sebastian forced his mind in more pleasant directions. He thought of the evening ahead, of the chance to run beside the most beautiful woman he’d ever seen.
He wondered if her wolf was as beautiful as the woman. His heartbeat thundered in his ears as his body tightened, giving him yet another thing to worry about.
He hoped like hell Lily wouldn’t turn and look, wouldn’t see how painfully aroused he was, because then she’d know.
How very much he wanted her. And how fragile was his control, hanging by little more than a tiny thread of humanity.

L ily stepped out of her thong panties and shoes and put them next to her wrap on the front seat of Sebastian’s car. Then she slipped her dress over her head and tossed the small handful of silk on top of her shoes and panties. Cool air swept over her bare back, lifted the tendrils of her long hair, and gave her a perfect excuse for her taut nipples and aching breasts.
She leaned over the hood of the car, watching with unabashed desire while Sebastian removed his clothing. Need that had simmered slow and steady deep inside throughout the evening blossomed into an all-consuming ache. She wanted him, and she’d not even shifted. Generally this level of arousal came after a run, not before, but she’d gone without for much too long.
Even that wasn’t the whole truth. It wasn’t merely the fact she’d had no opportunity for sex. No, Sebastian was beautiful beyond belief. His body was strong and hard, his mind sharp, his sense of humor unabashedly fun. Everything about him attracted her. For the first time, she looked at a man and wanted the whole package.
She found it hard to believe he wasn’t Chanku. He had the tall, lean build she associated with their kind, the broad shoulders, strong thighs, and, now that he’d slipped his pants off, the most perfect ass she’d ever seen on any man.
He turned to throw his clothes in the car, and she caught her breath. He was fully erect, his long, thick penis rising high against his perfectly muscled belly. Again, graphic proof of his similarities to the Chanku males she’d known.
Lily realized she was licking her lips, but damn. This was even better than that perfect butt.
He caught her staring. Again, that smile—that absolutely devastating smile—and it was all for her.
“Oh.” He honestly sounded surprised. “I thought maybe you’d already shifted.”
Lily straightened, aware she was giving him a visual feast with her bare breasts showing above the roof of the low-slung car. “I was waiting for you.”
She walked around the front of the vehicle and stood close. Most of the Chanku women she knew were dominant alphas. She felt no shame in wanting this man, and even less in showing him how she felt. He didn’t seem to mind her attention a bit. Heat radiated off his perfect body, and he made no attempt to hide his interest. The visual of him, hard and ready for her, had her licking her lips, fighting an urge to touch.
She imagined him taking her here, now, over the hood of his car or against the wind-worn boulders at the side of the lot. Erotic visuals cascaded through her mind, a slide show of images, each one hotter than the last, until she consciously shut them down. What if he saw them? It could be embarrassing, showing him so graphically how she lusted. Later. She would know him better after the run, after she got to know his feral side.
He held her gaze for a long, breathless moment. Then he took a deep breath that expanded his chest in a most enticing
