Maya woke with her body on fire. Every nerve ending. Every single cell. The fierce burning between her legs was pure hell. Alarm spread through her. Instantly she was aware of Gorya’s male body wrapped tightly around her. Pure muscle. She couldn’t stop moving. Writhing. An erotic slide over the sheets, her body gliding sensuously against his no matter how much her brain screamed at her to stop.

“I can’t stop it. I can’t make it stop.” She tried rolling away from him before she did something unimaginable, like lick up from his belly to his chest. She couldn’t have sex. She couldn’t. She couldn’t lead him on. That would be the worst. She wouldn’t do that to him. He was so good to her. He’d been so patient.

I’m sorry. I’m sorry. Wraith was distressed, calling out to her. I tried as hard as I could. I can’t stop it, Maya. I’m so sorry.

It wasn’t her leopard’s fault. Maya detested that she made her leopard feel ashamed of what should be a wonderful, exciting time for her. Ordinarily, a female shifter didn’t even know if she had a leopard until her reproductive cycle and the leopard’s lined up together. If they did, the leopard would rise to the surface and eventually emerge fully. She could then be claimed by her mate.

It took extraordinary circumstances for a female leopard to ever show herself prior to that occasion. To save Maya’s sanity, Wraith had revealed herself to her human counterpart and later emerged when Maya was a child. The leopard had always been there for her. She detested that she was letting her down this way.

You’ve done nothing wrong, Wraith. You’re supposed to rise. Don’t try to suppress your nature. I’m the one that’s sorry.

She was. She couldn’t cope with even the thought of sex, let alone feelings this violent. Her body was completely out of control. No matter how hard she tried to overcome the screaming in her head or sudden terrible vision of her childhood memories, her body continued to crave the man lying beside her.

There was no way to stop the flames coming in waves, rolling through her veins and burning low. She couldn’t stop moving along the sheets. She hadn’t known material could inflame her further, but the friction against her nipples felt like electricity sparking.

No matter how much she might want to have sex with Gorya, no matter how much she wanted to do the right thing for her leopard, she knew she would fail them. The screams in her head grew louder right along with the vicious images from her childhood.

“I can’t. I can’t. I want to. But I can’t.” She could barely get the words out. Her voice was no more than a thread of sound, vibrating with shame and horror and even reflecting terror.

How was she going to repay her beautiful, wonderful leopard for everything she’d done? She would kill her. She would probably kill Gorya and Rogue. All because she was a coward. A sniveling, horrid, weak, worthless woman.
