Lora Leigh- Primal Heat

This is the story of Tarek and Lyra. Tarek and Lyra have been neighbors for six months. It starts out with Tarek taking a weed eater to her rose bushes and since Tarek has been in a lab he is not exactly sure how to mow his lawn. Lyra teases him about it and tells him to keep his tools away from her yard. He goes back to his house that he loves, it gives him peace and keeps the nightmares away about the labs. Tarek smells Lyra's homemade bread and her coffee, he decides to go over to get some. Lyra loves to cook so when she sees Tarek at her door she knows that he is wanting something else besides apologizing for her rose bushes. She sees the longing look he gives to her bread, so Lyra tries to  barter with him to get a shed out of it and he tells her he is not handy with a hammer. She gives him the bread and lets him take some home. Tarek is awaken at night and he realizes there is an intruder over at Lyra's house. Tarek sees where the intruder cut off her security system and Tarek goes after him so he can't hurt her. Lyra comes out on the porch and starts shooting at the intruder, he gets away and Tarek tells Lyra not to tell the police about him that he will explain after they leave. Tarek calls Jonas to let him know about the situation and he is gonna send help also Tarek tells Jonas that he needs to have a check up due to his swollen tongue and glands. Jonas then tells him that it is from the mating heat. Lyra decides not to wait for Tarek, he catches her in his yard and is upset because she didn't wait for him to come back for her. He explains about the intruder and then tells her about the mating heat. He gives her a choice either to leave and he will stay away or they will be together always Lyra stays with him. She cannot believe that he doesn't cook, so she gets some food from her house and decides to cook. The trainers are down in the kitchen and they put a gun to her temple, she thinks of ways to warn Tarek because they have covered their scent so she lets her fear warn him. Tarek smells her fear and calls in backup, he comes downstairs to talk so he can distract the trainer to give him some time. Tarek smells the breeds out back with Lyra's father and brothers so when they break in the doors she ducks out the way he shoots the trainer and goes under the table to protect her. She tells him to move because her brothers/breed are tearing up the house. One of the brothers is mad at her and Tarek doesn't like it. They get into a fight then calm down and talk about it. Tarek and Lyra admit their love for another and promise not to leave each other. My Rating: 3 (special thanks to Sandy)
