A Marriage of Convenience Gift from the Goddess (James POV)
“Haven’t seen that face in person in a hot minute,” my grandfather entered my office without a knock. “I’ve been a bit preoccupied as of late.”My grandfather was a workhorse, which meant I was supposed to inherit those genes. Where he was obsessive about the job, I was obsessive about a certain woman who’d taken over my every thought. “Wooing that gem of a wife you’ve got,” he winked, walking over to the floor to ceiling windows and gazing out over the city, “At least I hope so.” He tossed a look over his shoulder before returning his attention to the rising sun. I’d gotten here early in hopes that I’d get out of here early, but it seems I underestimated the amount of paperwork that I’d neglected over the past few weeks. “I took her to Blackwood.”I heard my grandfather audibly swallow, “And why’d you go and do that?”Anger bubbled beneath my skin. My grandfather has good intentions, but his distance from the werewolf world is just pathetic. Sure, he’s created something beautiful
A Marriage of Convenience Starting over
James was back on edge when he arrived back home from work. Normally, I wouldn’t pry. But after our date last night, I felt like I was on cloud nine. He continues to give me tiny glimpses into his life, and I want him to know that I am here. For the good, the bad, and the ugly. “Did something happen today?” I leaned against the countertop, trying to sound stronger than I was. New Rosalind wasn’t going to cower in the presence of her husband. I didn’t want to be afraid to ask him questions. And I didn’t want him to be afraid to answer.James had been sitting on a stool with his elbows resting on the granite. His head was hung low and besides a quick hello, he hadn’t said anything more. His eyes lifted to meet mine, “Marina paid me a visit to my office today.”The mention of her name had my heart racing in my chest, “How is she?” James released a heavy breath, “You don’t have to pretend to like her, Rosalind.”“Okay,” I whispered, choosing my words carefully, “Why was she there?” I
A Marriage of Convenience Until now
As I sit here staring into James’ sparkling green eyes, I see they’re blown wide with lust. His hands hold a punishing grip on my hips, keeping me in place, not that I’d want to be anywhere other than right here. I’ve never been more turned on in my life. For years I questioned if James found me attractive. If I’d ever be the woman that he looks at and feels that undeniable desire like I have. I’ve undressed him hundreds of times in my head. Imagined what it would be like to have his body hovering above me. Sweat glistening off our skin. I’ve even wondered what he tastes like. But never have I thought those thoughts would be reciprocated…. Until now. “You might be my wife, Rosalind. But I will not take you,” he pulled back, jerking his hips again, “Until you call off the divorce.”It felt like someone had dumped a bucket of ice water over my body. I’d entirely forgotten about the impending divorce. The one that I’d initiated. A perfectly straight, white row of teeth pulled Jame
A Marriage of Convenience Dreaming
James stood in the doorway of the bathroom; his lips slightly parted as he adjusted the bulge in his pants. My eyes widened when the realization that he’d just seen me pleasure myself. Did he hear me moan his name?Embarrassment washed over me like a tidal wave. I tried to cover my body with my hands, but James growled, “Don’t you dare.”Once again, my eyes widened as they met his. He continued palming at his length straining against the zipper of his pants.“Wha…. What are you doing here?” The words left my lips as more of a squeak. “Do I need an excuse to come back home to my wife?” his words reignited the heat in my core, and my legs squeezed together beneath the water. James stepped closer, his eyes leaving a trail of fire over my body. Bubbles concealed most of my nudeness, but my nipples peaked just about the surface. “The image of you coming from your fingers is going to be burned into my mind forever, Rosalind,” he ran his fingers through his hair, “The way your lips parte
A Marriage of Convenience Zero to One-hundred
“Are we going to talk about last night?” I chewed on my lower lip, staring at James. He’d just climbed out of a shower. A towel hung low on his hips, stealing my attention.Whatever happened yesterday changed something between us. His movements froze mid reach for a dress shirt, “Do you have something you’d like to talk about?”That was the million-dollar question. Did I want to bring attention to the obvious shift in our relationship, or pretend like this is how it’s always been and ignore the obvious Elephant in the room? I’ve dreamed of moments like these for years. And it all started with a kiss on the couch last night. This morning, I’m laying on my stomach in James’ bed, watching him get ready for work. His head appeared around the door frame, “You obviously have something on your mind, Rosalind.”A heavy breath slipped from my lips as they pulled down, “I guess I just feel like we went from zero to one hundred really fast….” I paused, completely forgetting what I was going t
A Marriage of Convenience Promise me (James POV)
Marina’s patchouli scent filled the room, suffocating me with the mixture of her and Rosalind. It had almost faded from my memory after all this time, but now that she’s here; it’s stronger than ever. Her words were angry, but in her face, I could see the pain that she hid behind a snarl. I’d hurt her with my actions. I’ve been so worried about finding a way to keep Rosa in my life that I’d completely pushed her aside and threatened to reject her. I knew she wouldn’t leave. I knew she’d be mine no matter what. It’s why she didn’t fight me in my office. The woman was a firecracker, but for me, she’d fall at my feet. Because she loved me. And despite that, I’d found myself falling for Rosalind over my first mate. The pull with Marina hadn’t been there for so long. That was so selfish of me, but I couldn’t help it. Every time I got closer to Rosalind, Onyx seemed to react. Marina didn’t have a wolf, so she couldn’t understand the piece of me that was lost when Onyx was taken from
A Marriage of Convenience Werewolf
Fear encapsulated my mind each time that James spoke. But Marina's words kept replaying in my mind.If you don't tell her, I will.
A Marriage of Convenience Remembering
“When my pack was attacked, something happened to my wolf, and he’s been trapped in some sort of holding cell in my head ever since,” James finally walked over, sitting next to me on the bed. His elbows rested on his knees and his face fell into his hands, “I’ve been without him for over three years and you,” he glanced to his right, “You somehow hold the key to him coming back to me.”“None of this makes any sense, James.”“Whoever attacked my pack, personally attacked me by locking away my wolf. I’ve not been able to make sense of it all myself,” James opened his mouth to continue, but his phone blared from his pocket. He ignored the call before another came through. “What?” he snapped answering the second call. A woman’s voice timidly told him that investors were all sitting in his conference room, impatiently awaiting his arrival. “Tell them to get the fuck out. I’ll deal with it later.”Her gasp had me placing my hand on his knee, “Go,” I whispered, “We will talk as soon as yo
