Choosing Riley Read online

  “Make me,” Viper snarled menacingly.

  “Okay,” Tina said and pressed the button.

  Viper jerked as the shock hit him, stumbling backwards before collapsing onto the floor in a quivering jerking mass of twitching nerves. His loud curses filled the small chamber they had converted for the wedding. All four of his younger brothers stood around him with their mouths hanging open, trying not to laugh.

  “Oh, to hell with it,” Riley said in resignation. “I do. Let’s go to the reception. Maybe it will go better than the wedding,” she muttered over the noise of all the brothers suddenly asking Tina and Pearl about Tasers.

  “How about we skip the reception and get to the wedding night?” Vox asked with a hopeful grin. “I have something for you.”

  “What did you get me this time?” Riley asked, rolling her eyes and chuckling.

  Vox reached into his pocket and pulled out a small, squeaking animal. “A mouse!”

  In a matter of seconds, a huge, very pregnant white tiger was knocking over chairs and tables as she chased the poor Sarafin replica of a mouse around the room. She wasn’t alone though. The other cat-shifters had joined in the fun, thinking it was part of the marriage ceremony to chase the mouse. Soon Pearl, Tina, Bob, Fred, their mates and a handful of other guests were the only ones left in their two-legged form.

  “Well hell, I think that was the best damn wedding I’ve ever attended. I’m glad that boy chose my Riley girl. He’ll keep her on her toes,” Pearl chuckled. “Now, is anyone up for some grub?”

  To be continued…. Viper’s Defiant Mate.
