J uliette De La Cruz paced restlessly back and forth across the kitchen tiles. Her body felt too tight for her own skin. It was impossible to control her mind as it flipped channels, a chaotic whirl from subject to subject. She couldn’t seem to stay focused on anything at

all—not even the fruit and melon salad she was making for tonight’s celebration.

She missed her sister and cousin. This would be her first holiday without them. She’d

invited them, but as always, they’d refused to have anything to do with the De La Cruz

men. It wasn’t as if she blamed them, but Juliette could have used their company. Outside the window, the snowflakes drifted, turning the world around her into a peaceful, quiet

realm, but her body and mind were out of control.

It was hot. Too hot. She unbuttoned her blouse and tied the ends together in a knot

beneath her generous breasts. She lifted the heavy fall of hair from her neck and paced

around the small kitchen once again. If you don’t come home soon, I’m going for a run. I

need… She reached out to her lifemate, but she didn’t know what she needed. Her body

wanted his—but it always did. She just couldn’t become calm.

Deep inside, she felt her cat moving, struggling for supremacy. Juliette was part jaguar

and even after the conversion, her cat was strong, but she was always able to control her.

Now even her cat wanted out—wanted freedom.

Breathe. The word was whispered in her mind. Soft. Intimate. Warm. You always forget

to breathe.

She knew she was alone in the kitchen. Her beloved lifemate, Riordan, had gone to see

his brothers. Riordan and Juliette had traveled from South America and had arrived in the early morning hours. Riordan hadn’t had a chance to see his brother, Manolito, who had

been injured in a battle.

I’m breathing. I wish you were here. There was a blatant invitation in her voice. Riordan was very good at putting the heat in her blood with one whisper of his seductive voice.

“I’m making this fruit salad. You’re supposed to be helping me.” Her breasts tingled and

seemed heavy and aching. She had the full, curvy figure of a woman. Her waist was

small, but her breasts and hips were generous and right now every square inch of her skin burned. She wanted him. Right there. That moment. He had to come back or she was

going to have to throw herself in the snow to cool down.

I am on my way. Let me make my good-byes. It must be the fruit salad you are making. I

think fruit turns you on.

Only what one can do with it. Juliette laughed, but there was little amusement in her. Her body was too edgy. The De La Cruz brothers seemed to be very sexual creatures, and she

fit right in, needing Riordan, welcoming the many inventive ways he made love, but

she’d never felt so edgy, so desperate.

She ran some water and dribbled it down the valley between her breasts, glancing out the

window as she did so. No one was there.
