Of Mates & Magic

Cora:

If you'd asked me when I was a kid if I thought being able to control fire was on my list of Cool Things About Me, I'd have said heck yeah!  Turns out controlling the elements is a little trickier than you'd think.  Especially since a certain someone moved to town and threw my magic into a tizzy.  He's big, broody and sexy as hell.  Just thinking about him makes my hair stand up and my fingers tingle. If only he'd talk to me instead of grunting and glaring all the time, I think I could talk back to him.

But my magic is unpredictable and I can't let him get too close, for his own good.  It's better for everyone this way.

Seb:

The moment I met her, I knew Cora was the only one for me.  After years spent searching for home, I've found it in the cagey glare of a woman who lights me up inside and sends me into a spiral of longing. She's brilliant, beautiful and as salty as a honey badger.  Utterly perfect in every way. 

I just need to use my words and not grunt at her like a caveman whenever I see her.  But my Wolf wants to claim her in very carnal and biblical ways. It takes all my energy to contain his enthusiasm, making  for a lot of awkward interactions.  Every damn time.  

But now that I've found her, my Wolf won't be satisfied until we build a home for her and she accepts us as Mates.  I just need to control the beast inside me long enough to convince her to give me the time of day and earn her love.
