Read To Lie With Lions: A BBW Shifter Romance (Wolf Rock Shifters Book 4) for Free Online

they’re well-endowed?” Cecile thought about what she’d already seen between Nash’s legs. If his member pre-arousal was anything to go by, yes indeed. Lions were impressively gifted. For a moment her mind wandered to what it might look like when fully engorged. Between her legs, a pang of soft pain shot through her nerve endings.
    “Just speakin’ from my own experience,” continued Susannah. “When I was young I knew a lion. His parts were majestic, if you know what I’m sayin’. King of the jungle and the locker room, I tell you.”
    “You’re awful.”
    “And you’re awful horny. Good luck with it, sweetie.”
    “Thanks, darlin’. We’ll see what happens.”
    Cecile left Susannah to her chores and wandered into the dining room, where she found her father sitting at the sprawling dining table, which was large enough for fourteen people, reading a newspaper.
    “Where have you been?” he asked.
    “I told you yesterday, dad. I went horseback riding.”
    Her father put the paper down on the table then laid his palms flat. His face was stern and serious for a moment and then softened.
    “Of course,” he said. “I completely forgot that you were to go out this morning. And how was it?”
    “It was beautiful. Until we saw an ani mal attack a calf,” she said. “In the distance. A wolf. We think it was a shifter.”
    “Well, that’s ridiculous. Shifters don’t do those sorts of things.”
    “Don’t they?” Cecile approached her father now, studying his face for signs of weakness. “Don’t you recall that happening years ago, in Riverside?”
    “Now that you mention it, I suppose it does sound familiar. Yes. There was that string of attacks back home. Still, that was a fluke. Some madman on a power trip.”
    “The police thought it was more than a madman,” said Cecile. “If I remember correctly, they thought it was someone trying pretty hard to convince everyone that they should be frightened of shifters. He was looking to find a way to extract money from them. And they suspected that he wasn’t working alone.”
    “Stuff and nonsense. It was one man and I believe they caught him, just as they’ll do here.”
    “If you say so, dad,” Cecile said, willing to surrender for the moment to her father’s unrelenting stubbornness, and hoping that in fact he had nothing to do with any of it. “All right. By the way, I intend to go riding again. I may even make a weekly habit of it.”
    Her father picked up the paper again and began to read. “That’s nice, dear,” he said.
    “There’s a young man on the ranch. A lion shifter called Nash. I think I might ask him out.” She thought for a moment before adding, “No. More than that, I think he may be my mate.”
    Again, the paper went down. Conrad Malcolm’s face took on an expression of sadness which he seemed immediately to correct into something approaching rage.
    “Who is he?”
    “He’s the son of the couple who own the ranch. He’s just finished a university degree.”
    “ I don’t care if he has a PhD in astrophysics. You’re not going to be dating some rancher’s son. I raised you better than that.”
    “Yes, that’s right. You raised me to be a snob and to hate anyone who doesn’t have money growing out of their armpits.”
    “I don’t want to hear any more about it. If you want to ride, so be it. But no dating.”
    “No, of course not. Because I’m only twenty-three and can’t make up my own mind.”
    “Cecile, my patience is wearing thin. You know the consequences if you defy me.”
    “I’m not entirely sure I do, dad. But I’ll keep that in mind.”
    With that, she turned and left the room.
     
    ***
     
    Nash drove to the wolf pack’s cabin that afternoon, determined to find his way to the bottom of the attack. He’d met the alpha, Tristan, a few times, and knew him to be a good, fair and honest man. He was also immensely strong and his pack generally didn’t mess with him.
    When Nash arrived, he found
