Defended by a Jaguar (Mate Me Book 4)

"Josie!" Jordan groaned, watching Georgia slip away.

"What?" Josie asked, following his line of sight.

"Didn't you see I was talking to Georgia?" he demanded. He watched his mate disappear into the kitchen. He hoped she wasn't gone for good.

"I saw you with a beautiful woman. That's why I came over to check on you two," Josie explained. Jordan glared at her.

"I don't care that we've been friends since college. You've always had a knack for scaring off the girls or women I like." He glared at her and her eyes widened in surprise.

"Do I?"

"You do. Josie, you are a very dominant personality. I'm certain Georgia thought you were coming to flirt with me. Don't ruin things between my mate and me," he ordered and got up to find Georgia.

"Your mate?" Josie gasped and clapped her hand together. He nodded.

"That's amazing! Why are you still talking to me?"

"I'm not." He walked purposefully toward where he'd seen Georgia disappear. To his surprise, as he went to open the door Georgia was pushed out of it.

"I'm so sor..." her words trailed off as he caught her.

"Georgia," he whispered and groaned when she licked her kissable lips.

"Don't do that," he ordered and watched her do it again. His jaguar urged him to claim their mate. Take her now!

She is human.

So! She is ours.

"Do what?" she asked, licking her lips again. Jordan followed the movement of her tongue. Deciding to take a leap of faith, he kissed her. Plunging his tongue into her mouth, he cupped her sinfully beautiful face in his hands as he dove in. She tasted of red wine and ambrosia. Not wanting to let go, he tangled his tongue with hers. Her small hands gripped his jacket, pressing against him. Her luscious figure felt right connected to his. He couldn't wait any longer. Sliding his hands down to her hips, he squeezed and pushed her against the wall.

"Excuse me," a small voice broke through his sexual haze. Releasing Georgia, he turned to see a waitress standing behind them.

"I'm sorry, sir. I need to get into the kitchen." Jordan realized he and Georgia were blocking the door.

"Sorry," he mumbled and took Georgia to a dimly lit secluded room.

"Are you okay?" he asked her, he could sense her distress.

"Um maybe," she replied and sat in an armchair.

"Georgia I can smell how confused you are," he shared kneeling at her feet. Using his cat's vision, he could see the confusion on her face plain as day.

"I've never had such a powerful reaction to a man before. Then a beautiful woman comes over talking like you are on intimate terms. Then you are kissing me and I want you to take me upstairs to make love," she confessed and he let out a relieved sigh.

"Josie and I met in college. She's two years behind me in age. I met her when she dated one of my fraternity brothers. I can't seem to get away from her. I moved here for an internship with my firm. Josie showed up a few years later to be a teacher. She and I never dated. I have always preferred blonds. You are feeling so strongly about me because you're feeling the mate bond. You are my mate, Georgia," he told her and watched her eyes go wide.

"I'm no good at dating. I get so lost in my writing that I forget about everything," she argued and he relaxed.

"I'm not saying you give up your life. Mates complement each other. How about we date and see how this goes?" he suggested. He remembered Marcus and Xander talking about wooing their mates. Roxie needed a trip to Rome, and Ellie was being chased by a stalker.
