Corey’s Christmas Bundle
Toni Griffin
Being pregnant is not all it’s cracked up to be, especially when you’re male and a shifter. Even though the world now knows about wolf shifters, their male’s ability to bare young is still a closely guarded secret. Since Corey’s pregnancy is now visible, he’s been stuck at home working on code and waiting for company to drop by. Problem is, though, the human government wants to know where Corey is.
As Christmas and Corey’s due date draw ever nearer, Ben devises a plan that will not only get Corey out of the house, but allows the wolves of Atherton Pack to give the community some Christmas cheer.

Corey’s Christmas Bundle Excerpt!
Prologue
Ethan rolled over and snuggled into the warmth of his mate. Corey always smelled and felt so good first thing in the morning. The sun peeked through the gap in the curtains, but Ethan didn’t want to wake up. Instead, he curled in closer to Corey. Corey wrapped his arm around Ethan’s back and pulled him in close, sleepily placing a soft kiss on Ethan’s forehead.
“Go back to sleep, babe,” Corey murmured.
“Hmm. Good idea.”
Ethan kissed the warm skin under Corey’s chin and settled in. He ran his hand up and down Corey’s lightly furred chest.
The blankets twitched where they rested over Corey’s groin, and Ethan had to hold back a grin.
“I thought we were going back to sleep?” Corey asked as he finally opened his eyes and stared down at Ethan.
Ethan glanced up at his mate with the most innocent expression on his face he could pull off. “What? I was just getting comfortable.”
“Sure you were.”
Before Ethan knew what was happening, he was on his back with Corey looming over the top of him, the blankets having fallen aside in the move.
Ethan’s cock reacted to his mate’s naked body pressed against his own and started to stir. He wiggled around, getting a little extra friction.
Corey growled above him, then leaned in to take his mouth in a hot and heavy kiss. Their lips slid over each other as their tongues dueled for dominance. Ethan happily gave in to his partner and let Corey lead.
Ethan loved feeling Corey inside him, it excited him to no end, and he seriously got off on it. Corey had turned the tables on him the other day, for Ethan’s birthday, and they’d switched for the first time. It had been fucking hot. Feeling Corey’s body wrapped around his dick as they made love had Ethan eager to experience it again.
Corey broke the kiss and leaned back a little, his expression weird. Ethan couldn’t make it out. He reached up and placed his hand on Corey’s cheek. “You okay?” he asked, more worried about his mate than what they had been doing.
Corey’s expression pinched, and his skin paled.
“Corey?” he asked.
“I think I’m going to be sick.” Corey scrambled back and off the bed before he bolted into the bathroom.
The door slammed before Ethan even registered what had happened. He hustled out of bed and raced after his mate. He opened the bathroom door to the sounds of Corey being violently ill over the toilet.
Ethan grabbed the hand towel hanging on the hook and rinsed it under cool water before making his way over to Corey. Ethan leaned over and gently rubbed Corey’s back, wiping the cool, damp cloth over Corey’s forehead as his mate continued to retch.
When Corey finally calmed down, he sat back on his haunches. Ethan handed him the cloth so Corey could wipe his face.
“You okay?” Ethan asked him, worry lacing his voice as he continued to rub soothing circles on Corey’s back.
“I think the chicken we had for dinner must have been a little funky.”
“Honey, I ate the chicken, and I’m fine. Plus if it were food poisoning, it would have hit you a lot sooner than now,” Ethan said.
“Mmmm. You’re probably right. Maybe it’s just some twenty-four-hour bug thing.”
Ethan chuckled as an idea struck him. It couldn’t be that simple, could it? Feeling rather giddy at the prospect of why his mate would be throwing up first thing in the morning, Ethan gave his mate the once-over.
