BOOK #1 IN THE HYBRID TRILOGY
Brynn Thomason was what you would classify as a normal teen werewolf.
That is, until her mate showed up in her room one night and told her something that changed everything.
"Wow." His jaw drops when he sees me, and I feel myself blush. I laugh to myself, because after everything that Max and I have done with each other, it's something as simple as dressing up that I get embarrassed by.
Okay, embarrassed isn't the right word. I'm not embarrassed. I've just never seen Max look so taken aback. He keeps opening and closing his mouth, like he doesn't know or can't decide what he wants to say. I can see what it's doing to him, though. The way his eyes darken and body tenses gives him away.
I love it. I love that I'm able to leave him speechless. I love that I can affect him as much as I am right now by something so, so simple.
I'm wearing a red sundress I just bought the other day with Mara and Lexi, and it fits my body perfectly. It hugs all the right places, and it's a pop of color against my tan skin. I tied my hair back in a loose bun at the nape of my neck, leaving a few pieces out to frame my face.

Max still hasn't said anything, but he doesn't have to.
"Ready to go?" I ask innocently, like I have no idea what I'm doing to him.
He blinks and shakes his head a little, and I can't help but laugh. "Sorry," he says, his voice cracking. "You just look sexy as hell. I don't know how I'm going to make it through dinner."
I approach him and press my lips to his, only having to go onto my toes a little bit. The wedges I'm wearing help with the height difference. I gently place my hands right where his head reaches his neck, leaving my lips to linger. Max doesn't waste any time on wrapping his arms as tight as he can around my waist, deepening the kiss.
I let him walk us over to his bed and slowly drop me down onto it, and we don't break our kiss once. He hovers over me, his lips moving fast against mine. My body is ignited with every good feeling Max gives me, except it's on a high. He trails his fingers up my leg and starts to pull down my underwear, and that's when I pull away.
He kisses down my jawbone to my neck. "Max," I moan, tangling my fingers in his hair. He doesn't stop, and I close me eyes and let myself be encompassed by the feeling. But I can't let this go any farther, no matter how much I want it to. I open my eyes and push against his chest. "Max," I say, breathing heavily. He finally pulls away and meets my eyes, smirking.
"Yes?" he asks innocently, and I smile, raising an eyebrow.
"We have dinner reservations in twenty minutes. That's how long it takes to get there. Which mean we have to leave-" He cuts me off with another kiss, and I laugh. "Max," I say against his lips. "I'm serious."
"But B, you look so fucking hot right now. You're driving me crazy."
I push him away firmly, and he finally lets me sit up. I stand up as he moves to sit on the bed, and I move to stand between his legs. He places his hands on my hips and pulls me closer. "I promise, after dinner, we can do whatever we want to do, for however long we want to do it. But dinner. Come on."
