I have even more I plan on posting tomorrow! Stay tuned, because it's about to get interesting! ;)
AnastasiaInstantly my blood went ice cold.I skimmed our surroundings, noting the groups of people off to the side. Several couples were on the dance floor, swaying about to the music while others ventured in and out of the gardens.We were far away enough that no one would bother listening in on o
The bond tightened in my chest until even Ziva felt the pain of it wrapping around her heart. She let a low warning growl.Why wasn’t he pushing her off? Why wasn’t he walking away?Caius stood there, allowing her to touch him even though he wasn’t hers to touch. He was disrespecting our bond right
Anastasia“Don’t cry, Ana.” Ziva murmured. “Remember our rule? We never cry over men.”Why the Goddess made me cry every time I was furious I’d never understand. It was really ruining the tough-girl image I’d spend so long cultivating.I ignored Caius as I stormed back to the building. He didn’t try
“I know what happened between you two back in the pool room.” Seeing the look of surprise on my face, Knight smiled sadly. “Not only do you both reek of chlorine, but he’s not wearing his scent blocker. Plus he keeps staring at you in that angry, constipated way of his. I’d say welcome to the family
“Admittedly, I also had your phone tapped. The person you gave my car to, you let them keep the money. You protected them.”Heat stained my cheeks, “They’re a good person.”“I trust your judgement,” He replied. “It’s why I told Marjorie I didn’t believe her lies. I warned her never to lay a hand on
Anastasia I didn’t think, I just reacted. Swatting away the bullet mere feet from Caius’s face, I hissed as a rush of scalding pain danced across my palm. There was a quiet clink as the bullet hit the marble floor. Glancing down, I winced at the quarter sized burn etched into my flesh. It was red
“You saved my life,” he said. I swiped the blood from my nose, which caused his brows to furrow, and smirked. “You’re welcome, jackass.” His gaze flicked down to my nose, then to the rest of my body. I could see his confusion as he registered the numerous slices oozing blood down my torso. Knight
Anastasia The familiar ache of silver encompassed my wrists and ankles, which meant they were likely bound with the stuff. I didn’t dare twist myself to look down at them, fearful it would make the men retaliate. Even now they were murmuring to themselves, casting odd looks down at me. From their
“Ah, we will in a minute,” Ghost replied, a smile teasing at the edges of his voice.My hand tightened around the envelope, my heart thudding in my chest. Caius stood to his full height and tipped his head to the side. I marveled at the shades of gold woven within his hair and eyes, reflected upon t
The pistachio muffin in my stomach turned to stone.I didn’t even have time to process it before a familiar, hushed voice slipped straight into my skull.“Someone has a secret. What would your husband think?”I jumped and growled under my breath. “Show yourself you shadow-dwelling freak.”Ghost popp
AnastasiaThe scent of caramel and whiskey grew, melting into a mouthwatering concoction that made my pussy ache. I forced my eyes open and frowned. “This isn’t my room.”“No,” He kicked the door shut. “It’s mine.”I made a sound of confusion, which he dutifully ignored, and instead placed me in his
Damon’s voice dropped low. “Makes sense. Anastasia’s mother raises her to conceal her ability at all costs and trains her to lie like an expert. Years later, she fakes her own death. We assumed these were for protection from Vladimir, but that’s quite a lot of hoops to jump through for one man. She
I didn’t say anything to the guys, though. There was no sense in spoiling Fallon’s fun.Ghost spoke around a mouthful of ramen. “My spies in Vladimir’s pack are reporting small uprisings among some of the townspeople. Apparently, they’ve been moved by all that you’ve done for them. Pretty unhappy Vl
AnastasiaI padded into the kitchen, my socks sliding along the floor. The scent of sesame oil and soy sauce clung to the air, a welcome distraction from the thoughts gnawing at the edges of my mind. The takeout bags sat on the counter, still warm, and I already knew which one was mine. He’d gotten
“You were made to be mine.” I tore the robe from her body and relished the sound of fabric splitting. Grabbing her wrists, I pinned them behind her back and flipped her around so that her back was flush against my chest. Sweeping an arm out, I cleared my desk of everything, earning a gasp from Anast
I kept moving, my senses stretched as far as they could go. A soft shuffle, nearly undetectable, had me turning left. I continued to follow the hall, turned again, then stopped when I saw her.At the very end of the hallway, bathed in shadows and pale slants of moonlight, was my wife. She was hardly
CaiusUpon returning home, I had one of the few remaining staff draw Anastasia a bath. The woman spent most of her time in there. Not that I paid much attention.Only I did.I told myself it didn’t matter. That I wasn’t counting the minutes she spent in there, listening for the hum of that fucking t
