AnastasiaMy words, as totally badass as they were, gave me a moment to swallow back the bile climbing up my throat. Goddess, what had come over me? Or rather, who?Alpha Caius—douchebag—Blackwell, that’s who.I mean, seriously! How dare he? This wasn’t the first time I’d been treated like a common
“Just one picture, Ms. Lasko!”Setting my fork down, I scooted across the booth to lean into Caius’s side. As the photographer began snapping pictures, I lifted my chin to murmur into his ear.“So, are you going to tell me what you and your brothers know about the missing girls?” It had been a month
There was such dark promise in those eyes that I couldn’t resist riling him up. Goddess, what would it be like if a man such as him snapped?Clearly, I had issues.I hurled my other heel at him, snarling when he caught it without so much as blinking. “It’s no wonder you’re miserable and alone! You c
AnastasiaI raised my chin dismissively as Caius lowered himself into the armchair across from where I sat. Knight had just ventured off to Goddess knows where, leaving me alone with the buffoon.“I give it five minutes before we strangle the man.” Ziva said helpfully, “Two if he opens his mouth.”C
Both Caius and Knight said nothing. The two stared at me as though they’d never seen me before. It felt good to remind them how little they knew about me, and how wrong they had been in their assumptions.Knight lit another cigarette and began scribbling something on his clipboard. “Well that explai
My gaze fell to the armrest. I picked at a stray thread, wrapping it around the point of my nail. “My ex had a vision of the life he wanted. That life required a specific type of woman with specific qualities. Obviously, I didn’t fit the bill. Instead of forcing myself to be something I wasn’t, I di
AnastasiaThe next four weeks were a slew of dates, public outings, and horrendous “therapy sessions” with Knight.Caius and I still didn’t fully trust one another, but at least now we knew we were on the same team and wanted the same thing. He’d even begun to touch me more during our excursions. Fo
“Well, so are you. That means you’re perfect for one another,” she teased.“Hah! We fight almost constantly. I wouldn’t call that perfect. He’d probably have a stroke if he heard you say that. The vein on his forehead would pop out for sure.”“Who doesn’t love a little hate sex?” Her and Nyla’s sult
On Sunday I came down to breakfast wearing a silk pajama set. It was a deep red, like the color of spilled wine, and matched my freshly painted toes. I yawned and waved at everyone as I headed over to the breakfast table.There was a platter of various omelets surrounded by smaller plates full of fr
AnastasiaI crawled back into bed feeling both disturbed and oddly satisfied. Obviously watching Knight violate my husband’s pillow was not the satisfying part, but I could handle it because it meant I got my revenge for the hair dye fiasco.At least he waited until after the wedding…Curling up ben
Knight grumbled something under his breath and clung to the pillow a bit tighter. I turned away with a laugh. Evangline really would send Peter here if I didn’t say something. It was tempting, though. Caius would be pissed if he woke up on some deserted island.“Very badass, but I have to decline. I
Evangeline liked to claim she was only attracted to women, but that was a lie. She was just incredibly picky when it came to men. It was on her eighteenth birthday that she told me she’d never even dated one before. Wasn’t surprising though given her mother.Point was, she could deny it all she want
AnastasiaI’m not a paranoid person.Seriously, I’m not.Even after spending years on the run from a rich asshole I had managed to keep my head and remain calm. I quickly learned to listen to my surroundings and watch out for signs. If I panicked or gave into the feeling that someone was watching ov
“How does playing double agent feel?” I asked the two of them after recounting the way we saved the civilians. They must have sensed the secrecy behind it all because they didn’t ask how we had enough time to rescue everyone.Alpha Nox’s shoulders trembled as he exhaled. It wasn’t everyday an Alpha
CaiusDamon and Knight were both already in the room when I entered.Knight was passed out on my favorite leather sofa. He wasn’t wearing a shirt and was covered in vibrant red kiss marks. The beast within me quickly checked them to make sure they weren’t Anastasia’s, which was insane considering I’
Her movements were slow, but faster than they were when she was lost within sleep. Little tremors went down her legs as my breath fanned across her clit.“Caius, is that you?” Sleep clouded her voice, and I quickly found my aching cock liked the sound.I kept my fingers still, not daring to move the
CaiusI was not going to fuck my sleeping wife.Not yet.The first time I decided to take her, and subsequently ruin her for all other men, I needed her to be awake. I would hunt her down, bend her to my will, and fuck the fight right out of her. I would both punish and praise her for being the cent
