Blurb:
Darin
Brightmore is a nurse who runs to escape the stress of his job. He’s unprepared when a routine trip down a
local hiking trail lands him in the arms of a sexy stranger. Darin is instantly drawn to the charming
Raylan and is disappointed when their encounter is cut short. Shortly after the encounter his life takes a
turn for the strange.
Raylan
Loup is a werewolf who is beyond pleasantly surprised when he stumbles across
the enticing Darin one late afternoon.
Determined to claim the quirky nurse as his own Raylan sets out to win
Darin over. Unfortunately the appearance
of a Huntsman dead set on putting Raylan down turns what should have been a
routine courtship into a battleground.
Can
Darin accept all of the danger that comes with being Raylan’s mate or will he
wish he never let the wolf at the door into his heart?
Welcome Rebecca, where does your inspiration stem from?
I’d have to say my inspiration
comes from a lot of places honestly. For
this particular story I was inspired by the idea of twisting Little Red Riding
Hood into a more modern story. Needless
to say this piece didn’t turn out the way I thought it would in the beginning
but I’m extremely pleased with it even if it’s not the fairy tale I had in
mind!
Do you have any strange or quirky habits when writing?
Do you have any strange or quirky habits when writing?
I absolutely have to have the
appropriate playlist thumping in the background.
Out of all your stories which one is your favorite and why?
Out of all your stories which one is your favorite and why?
Out of all of my stories I would
have to say that my favorite is a toss-up between Love in the Land of Fire and
Between Marriage and an Octopus (part of Evernight’s Lover Unexpected: ManLove Edition Anthology). Love in the Land of Fire is a story that I
poured a lot of time and energy into and I’m eager to get back to the world
I’ve created to write the next part of the series. For Marriage and an Octopus there was just
something about the way my two hero’s interacted that had me in giggles the
entire time I was writing it.
As a Psychology student, do you ever discover yourself over-analyzing your characters and their motives?
As a Psychology student, do you ever discover yourself over-analyzing your characters and their motives?
Only all the time. The further I get into my education the more
likely I am to catch myself over-analyzing my characters, doing everything I can
to make their reactions realistic or at least well explained. It’s a bit of a double edged sword since it
keeps anything from being too farfetched but at the same time it can get
frustrating when a reaction a want doesn’t work out so I have to rewrite a
scene.
What is your favorite part of writing?
What is your favorite part of writing?
Hands down it would have to be
world building. I love having the opportunity
to craft universes with laws and traditions that are different than our
own.
Now, let's get a little more personal! Tell me...
Your favorite video game? Final Fantasy VII. It was one of the most engaging games I’ve ever played.
Your favorite anime? YuYu Hakusho. It’s a classic that I am attached to far more than I should be.
If you had to choose one, what would it be: night or day? Night time without a doubt.
Your favorite place in the world? I’ve not done much in the way of traveling so at the moment it’s probably my shower! I’m always able to relax and unwind under the hot water and it’s a marvelous place to brainstorm about new story ideas.
The one thing you’d love to do but haven’t done yet. I want to go to Comic Con. My not so inner geek would rejoice in that opportunity!

Thank you, Rebecca! And now, for that succulent teaser...
Raylan presses their joined hands to
Darin’s stomach, and his other arm comes up to wrap around his chest so that
his hand is hooked around the curve of Darin’s opposite shoulder. They fit together like puzzle pieces, and
Darin isn’t ashamed of the way his stomach clenches and his cock goes hard and
long in his loose fitting pants. Not
when he can feel every inch of Raylan against him and he knows that the
werewolf is just as affected. Raylan
dips his head and nudges Darin’s to the side so that he can run his nose along
the length of his throat.
“You have no idea what it did to me to
have you ask for something. What it did to the wolf to have you
participate, even unknowingly, in the gifting.
It took all the control I had left not to come for you then. Not to push my way into your life and take
and take until there was no part of you I hadn’t touched, no part I hadn’t
tasted. No part of you that wasn’t
completely mixed with a part of me.”
Raylan’s teeth close over the tender flesh of Darin’s neck, and he
whimpers, hips bucking up and fingers tightening around Raylan’s hand.
Raylan doesn’t stop. He just tightens his hold on Darin’s shoulder,
squeezes his hand in return, and grinds the long arch of his cock against
Darin’s ass. When he finally pulls away,
Darin is breathless and knows that he’s going to have one hell of a mark. It makes something inside of him sit up and
whine, makes him want to beg Raylan to do it over and over again, to mark him
from head to toe.
“It got worse when I had to leave, when
the Huntsman was so hard on my trail I had to disappear for a while to try to
make it seem like I’d moved on. I was
two states away and the wolf would take over, would drag me almost halfway here
before I could take control back enough to turn around.” Raylan whispers the words into Darin’s ear.
“I-I don’t understand. Why would the wolf drag you back here when
there’s danger?” Darin does his best to
keep his voice even, but he knows he’s failing, can feel the tremors that are
wracking his body and the way his heart’s beating fast enough to burst.
“Because it wants you, too, just as bad
as I do, and it didn’t like being away from you, being unable to protect
you. And then last night when you helped
me, when you treated the wound, put me in your bed and then slipped in beside
me like a true mate would, I couldn’t help but move things forward to the next
step.”
Darin remembers the hot press and glide
of bodies and hands, the thick heat of Raylan pressed against him and the tight
ring of his fingers as he wrung Darin’s orgasm out of him. He has a fairly good idea of what the third
step is. He can vaguely remember Raylan
rubbing his back, the warm dampness of his hand and the way his skin had been
sticky and itchy this morning. His
dawning awareness must show somehow because Raylan’s laughing again, a dark
husky chuckle that sends puffs of warm air across the mark on Darin’s neck.
“Hmm, I enjoyed it, too, enjoyed
rubbing my scent onto you and yours onto me, enjoyed the thought of you lying
there asleep, so trusting and smelling of our sex. It’s a sign that you’re mine, that you belong
to me and that I’m going to mate you. If
another wolf got anywhere near you they’d know right away that you were
taken. It’s still a struggle not to bend
you over this counter and take you, to hold back and not fuck you right here in
this kitchen until you can’t move, can’t think, without feeling me inside of
you. The scenting helps, even though the
fact that it’s faded a bit because of your shower is slowly driving me
crazy. I want to be so deep inside your
skin that you’ll never wash me off.”
Raylan untangles their fingers, and his
now free hand skims its way beneath Darin’s too large shirt, and he hooks a
thumb in the waistband of his pants. His
fingers caress the arch of Darin’s cock, finding the little wet spot on the
fabric that’s proof of just how affected Darin is and worrying it with a nail.
“As
a matter of fact, I think I’ll fix that problem right now.”
