With one hand on the headboard and the other one by her head, holding him up, Lasci took a slow deep breath through his nose. Her scent filled his mind and intoxicated him. He somehow landed his hips between her legs and could feel the heat reach his groin through the lounge pants. She started to wiggle, “Um, I can’t move, please. You’re a bit heavy, sorry.” Wiggling more to the side, she accidentally rubbed the soft mound between her legs against the growing hardness between his, making Lasci’s wolf cry out in his mind, wanting to mate, to mark her. “Don’t, just don't move, stop wiggling,” he breathed out, unsure what was coming over him. The feeling of taking her, almost devouring every inch of her with his body, started running through his imagination. Purity kept trying to move out from underneath him, “I’m sorry, just let me, um,” her words were breathy, making his heart race with desire even more. “I SAID DON’T MOVE, OR SO HELP ME, WOMAN, I WON'T STOP ONCE I START” He f
Sleep did not come easy for Lasci or Purity. As one tossed, the other turned, both with thoughts on their minds. Lasci felt his mind should be focused on safeguarding the home now that an unknown stranger had entered their territory and threatened him. He was never one to act rashly when it came to threats. Lasci’s loss of control could occur from what lay in his bed. A female. Wolf or not, he couldn’t shake the urge to take her and touch the body hidden by the long shirt she was wearing. He noticed the bag of items Johnathan purchased was still untouched, so thoughts of her without underwear worsened. Turning, he couldn’t see above the bed. Thinking that maybe if he looked at Purity once more before bed, he could be satisfied and move on, but as Lasci was about to sit up, he heard her voice. “Grandma, I’m sorry, so, so sorry, please don’t go yet, Grandma, please wait for me. I’m sorry!” Her voice, barely above a whisper, cried out for the grandmother she had mentioned. Lasci ju
Both of them had managed to fall asleep, but morning came early for Lasci. Waking up stiff, he stretched as he sat up. Then, looking over at Purity, seeing her still asleep, he quietly got up and left the room. He needed to get some work done, and Purity was too distracting, so he decided to talk to Pru instead. Going downstairs, he could smell bacon, sausage, and ham steaks being cooked. When feeding wolves, the local pig farmers stayed in business. “Well, look who’s up bright and early. I’d ask how you slept, but I don’t really care,” Johnathan said to Lasci as he entered the kitchen. “About time you did something around here. You and Tener left a mess for Pru to clean up last night.” Johnathan sighed, “Yes, I’ve already had a tongue lashing from the second in command. Too bad it’s not the desirable kind.” Lasci rolled his eyes at the butler as he grabbed a bottle of water from the fridge and eyed the bacon sitting in a dish before stealing one. “Speaking of the second, where’
Lasci had asked Pru to take a breakfast tray from the kitchen to Purity. Balancing the tray in one hand and slowly opening the door, Pru peeked in first before pushing the door open with his shoulder. “You’re awake?” Purity nodded, “Hello.” Pru finally got a good look at the female, and he was surprised to see how attractive she was. Greenish blue eyes stood out against her fair skin and messy long golden curls. Realizing he was staring at her, he looked at the food tray, “Lasci had me bring this up in case you were hungry. You have to eat something before taking your medication anyway.” Looking back at her, he stood there holding the tray, waiting for her to make room on her lap. “Oh, sorry, um, do you mind helping me use the bathroom first?” “Use the bathroom?” Purity nodded, “Yes, please, I can’t make it there myself. I’m sorry to be a burden.” Remembering she had an injured leg, Pru set the tray on the desk and walked over to the bed. Ripping the blankets off
Pru shrugged, “Eat what you can. I’m sure someone will eat the rest.” Purity looked at him for a moment, finding what he said a bit odd, and separated a few pieces onto a napkin that she would eat and left the plate for what she wouldn’t eat. Two bites into the crispy bacon, and she coughed. Pru had just picked up his book to read it and looked over at her, “You okay?” She nodded and responded before coughing again, “Dry, my throat is a bit dry, but I’m okay.” Still coughing, she grabbed the glass of orange juice and quickly tried drinking it, but then a severe tickle in her throat made her cough hard into the glass, and most of it came spilling out onto her chest. “Oh no!” The coughing subsided, and Purity looked down at her chest. The orange liquid had soaked the top of her breasts, causing her shirt to cling. “I’m so sorry!” Pru could only stare. Even where he sat, he could see the generous mounds hugged by the stained wet shirt. Purity coughed again, and he could see he
Purity sat on the shower floor using the showerhead with one hand to rinse her body after washing it the best she could. The murmured sound of Lasci’s voice and the other brother, Pru, could barely be heard through the door. She could hear the comment and reaction to being put in a different room. It made her feel bad. Purity never in her life would have thought this could happen. She grew up very fortunate, raised by her grandmother, always escaping those moments when something could have happened or even killed her. But now, here she was with a hurt leg and wrist. “Guess your good luck has all run out, Purity Jones,” she said softly. She didn’t think the men who had been looking after her were terrible so far. Lasci’s impatience was understandable, and she tried avoiding confrontation the best she could. However, Pru seemed much nicer and more patient. He was much broader than Lasci, she thought. Even his chocolate brown hair was cute, she mused. Lasci’s eyes, framed with his b
“How is she?” Amorous came out of his room looking better, but Lasci ignored his question, more worried about how his youngest brother was doing. “How are YOU feeling?” The youngest grinned slightly, “I’ve been better, that’s for sure, but after tomorrow I should be great. I reflected on what had happened. I’m sorry to you and the female. Next time I will be more careful. I was pissed when I left, which affected my driving.” Lasci nodded, “I’m glad you realize that. You know where Pru is?” Amorous shook his head, “Nah, but I know Tener and Johnathan are in the other room decorating.” “Decorating?” Lasci opened the bedroom door next to his and walked in. It was like he was in a completely different house. It screamed girly. From the pink curtains to the pink angora rugs, Lasci almost got a headache from so much pink. All that was missing was the furniture. “What in the hell are you doing? She’s not 10!” Johnathan was hanging a large ballerina painting on the wall and laughed,
Purity wiped her tears and looked at the broken dish on the bed. She felt terrible, but it was an accident. Grabbing the two halves, she stuck them in the nightstand drawer. She promised to fix it once she had the chance. Laying back against the pillow and taking a deep breath, Purity looked toward the window. Rain was starting to tap it. The sound was relaxing, and since she’d taken a shower, focusing was a little easier. She closed her eyes, thinking of what to do about school, her grandmother’s house, and everything else. School had given her two weeks off to get things settled with her grandmother’s home and the funeral, but right now, she hadn’t even had a chance to go to the hospital and deal with that. As for thing’s here, she thought while glancing at the brace on her wrist and leg, they would have to be taken one day at a time. A soft knock came on the door, bringing her out of her thoughts. The door opened, and it was a person she didn’t recognize. She assumed he was th
Unfortunately, I got very sick in early 2023, and in October of 2023, I was diagnosed with multiple myeloma type cancer. I have finished chemo, and it is officially in remission (yay! thank the Lord). I will be updating soon, hopefully, as my energy returns. I want to finish my stories and continue others soooo badly, it is driving me crazy! I am soo sorry for the lack of updating, and keeping in touch. I hope everyone is well and I look forward to writing for you again soon. Please be patient and thank you for waiting on me, I promise to hurry!
It was Tener. Standing there with one hand holding the towel closed and the other on the stall, he looked at her with deep blue eyes. Water was dripping from his tawny hair plastered along the side of a very trim, muscular arm. She could see the muscles on his stomach rippling south below the towel. Letting out a loud squeak, Purity turned, hiding her face, “TENER! This is the women's shower!” He didn't respond, but she could feel the burn of his gaze on her naked backside. At that point, the shower sound was muted because she clearly heard the slip and drop of his towel. “What are you doing?” she asked, still hiding her face, not daring to turn around. Suddenly warm, gentle hands slipped up her waist and beneath her arms before gently cupping her full breasts. “Shhh, don’t move…,” he said, pressing his hardness against her backside and leaning to her ear. Purity was stuck. She didn’t want this, even as she protested, but something in her made her stay still and not resist, “Te
Johnathan's laughter rang through the phone as Lasci started to undress to ready his wolf, "What's so funny?" he asked, kicking off his shoes. "A moment, please, let me gather myself," Johnathan said, trying to calm the laughter, "You have no need to rush out as if saving the day, Lasci. The shifter is harmless. We've already had a nice chat over the phone, and as for Purity, I will say she's enjoying her dominance over Tener. I brought them to the gym for some blood-pumping exercise and discipline. It turns out our Purity is quite the little fox when it comes to handling your brother. She has had him on his back several times after learning only a few moves. I admire her capabilities, to be honest." Lasci took a deep breath and leaned against the wall in the foyer, "You took them to the gym, for a date?" "Yes, why? It's perfectly normal, and it allows them to be close physically. Is there something wrong with that, Lasci?" As much as Lasci wanted to yell into the phone, "YES
Bastian smirked, “Thought you’d find that worth staying in my company for a moment. After your bad form toward my love, everyone left the dinner table. So, eventually, I found myself waiting on her balcony with no intention of eavesdropping. But, mind you, it just happened that way. I must have caught the tail end of something because one minute, they were talking about your nasty declaration, and the next, the female wolf was attempting to open the balcony door. I was about to hide myself when your brother, Pru, came in the bedroom door and caught her attempting to leave.” Lasci shook his head, irritated, “You’re telling me something I already know, Bastian. Get on with it, or I’ll lose my patience.” Bastian smiled innocently, “I’m getting there, be patient. Now, where was I? Oh yes, her leaving and your brother coming in. So they had exchanged a few words, and the female wolf left.” Bastian acted like that was the end of it, and Lasci snapped, “You’re wasting my time.” “
Lasci paced the floor, his mind on edge about Purity and everything he said the night before. Now that Fahal had left, he was worried Purity might hate him even more. The front door opened, breaking his thoughts when Pru came in. “Any luck?” Prus shook his head, “Nothing. She’s either covered her trail perfectly or had help.” Running his hands desperately through his hair Lasci swore, “Fuck, I bet that vampire helped her. Where is he?” “I haven’t seen him since dinner last night. It’s possible he helped her leave, but we can’t be certain. If the female wolf was here, in fact, looking for a mate, I doubt she would have left regardless of what the situation was. Not all of us will be mated to Purity, so she had a chance. If you ask me, I think she was just looking for a place to hide before moving on. Refuge, in a manner of speaking.” Lasci nodded in agreement but still felt uneasy about it, “What do you think we should tell Purity? 'Her newfound companion just up and left b
Purity watched as Johnathan threw a wave out the van’s window and drove off. She was nervous about being left in Tener’s care but decided she could fend for herself by turning away from him and heading straight into the kitty café. Small mews from the kittens in a small enclosed sitting area reached her ears, and the smell of baked goods and tea filled her nose. A standing sign greeted her and read, “Find your seat, lift your feet, and get cozy. Our fluffy friends will find their way to you. They are well behaved and will let you enjoy your meal in peace (All cooked breakfast is chef’s choice, baked items are created fresh every morning.).” Purity giggled because at that moment, a large, short-haired tabby rubbed against her legs and meowed loudly, demanding attention. “Awe, aren’t you precious? Come here, big guy,” Purity cooed as she picked up the tabby to cuddle him. “Welcome! Sit anywhere you’d like, and I’ll be with you shortly,” a cheery male voice said from behind a high d
Walking over to the kitchen window, Lasci peeked through the blinds. Only blackness looked back at him with the occasional light display from the storm that stayed in the clouds. He wasn’t worried about Fahla but about how Purity would take the news that the female wolf had left. At dinner, he couldn’t help noticing the easy conversation between them and the laughter coming from Purity. They appeared to be close in such a short amount of time. It was the same with his brothers, too. She could talk comfortably with them and joke about things. So why did he always feel outside her circle, like a stranger sometimes? Purity lay in bed with her eyes closed while the morning light tickled her lashes. She didn’t dream but a tiny bit about Lasci. Recalling it, she could remember the feeling, and the images remained of them both staring across from each other, standing on opposite sides of a small creek. There were urban displays of everyday human life behind Purity, and behind Lasci wa
Pru ran to the balcony and was sure he caught sight of her for only a moment before she disappeared along the dark tree line. Going back inside quickly, he shut the door as quietly as possible, seeing Purity was still asleep. Walking fast, he left the room to run down the stairs and chase after Fahla. But he stopped, suddenly hesitant. Pru knew if the female wolf wanted to stay, she would have. He couldn’t understand why she’d left, but what was even more confusing was how she managed to jump down off the balcony when that was something even he couldn’t do without almost injuring himself. Of course, Lasci had jumped off his own balcony a few times in wolf form, but Lasci was an Alpha, so it was understandable. “Is Fahla a true Alpha female?” Pru wondered to himself. “Are they asleep?” Lasci asked, coming from the great room and looking up the stairs at Pru. Pru nodded, “Well, Purity is, but the female wolf is gone.” “Gone? Gone where?” Pru shook his head, “No clue Lasci.
Everyone had managed to sit down for dinner, but it wasn’t the usually pleasant and funny atmosphere. Libidi still held a grudge against Fahla, and Lasci was unhappy initially. Purity tried smoothing things over, but none of the brothers or Bastian seemed comfortable. Finally, after an argument with Lasci, causing him to get up from the dinner table and leave, Purity lost her appetite and invited Fahla to stay in her bedroom for the night. “Ignore him. He’ll get over it,” Purity said, referring to Lasci and slamming her bedroom door after Fahal made her way in. The female wolf laughed in amusement, “You’re impressive, kid. Every Alpha I’d ever come across wouldn’t just sit there and argue before finally pouting and leaving the room.” Purity laughed nervously, “Yeah, well, I'm sure he’ll make me pay for it later. But I don’t care. He had no right saying that.” Purity plopped on her bed, and Fahla jumped up on the creamy pink sofa across from her and lay down, “He’s right, tho
