Riven

She’s not quick enough to dart away from view when I head through to the living room with a fresh cold beer from the fridge. Call it instinct, but I used to do it when I was a kid and my parents were arguing – sit myself down on the top stair and hope people would be too caught up in their row to notice me.

I prop myself against the bottom bannister and call up to her.

“You can come down if you want. Kennedy’s gone.”

She pokes her head around the top rail. “I wasn’t–” she begins, but I shake my head.

“Don’t even think about lying to me, you’ve been there since we sent you out.”

She shrugs. “It’s not eavesdropping if the conversation is about you. It’s called not being a stupid fucking idiot.”

“It’s called poking your pixie nose in where it’s not fucking wanted. What Kennedy and I talk about is for our ears and not yours.”

She folds her arms as she heads back downstairs. Good manners seem to fade awfully fucking easily with this girl.

    AnnaI can’t get settled in this squeaky bed. My belly is filled up with nerves, and I hate that. I hate the fear of losing people, so I’ve learned that the best way of going through life is not to get attached in the first place. It’s lonely but it’s safe. But this time is different. This time I’m already in deep.I pushed them and they didn’t walk away. I made them mad and they don’t hate me for it. At least I hope they don’t.Finding Kennedy was a lucky break I never thought I’d stumble into. Finding Riven too is more than I ever hoped for. Having both of them in my life is a crazy dream beyond anything I’ve ever dared dream before. Losing them? Well, that would be more than I could bear.I toss and turn until I’m sticky and uncomfortable, thinking about what happened, wondering what happens now.What if Kennedy doesn’t come back? What if he’s really had enough of me now?What if Riven is in the room next door regretting ever offering me a place to stay?I know my heart is playing

    AnnaRiven tries to act super normal next morning, even though I wake in his arms with my hair all over his pillow. He gives me a smile and disentangles himself and heads off for a shower like this is just any other day.But it isn’t.Now I’ve slept in his bed I don’t want to sleep alone again.It felt too good to feel someone’s body against mine. It felt too good to have someone hold me for the first proper time in my life.Now I know how it feels to be safe and warm in someone’s arms I can’t let it go, and I won’t.But I can’t choose, either.I can’t choose either man over the other, they both mean too much to me.When I was being passed around foster homes like a bad smell, all I ever wanted was one person to give a shit about me. Now there’s the chance I have two. Two men who care enough to give me a chance. And they love me, he said so, and Riven isn’t the kind to lie.I’m eating a bowl of cereal when he joins me in the kitchen. He pours himself one and takes a seat opposite, sme

    KennedyI slept a lousy sleep. It’s my phone that wakes me up, bleeping away on my bedside table.I rub my eyes before I reach for it, and realise the daylight is blazing through the crack in the curtains.“Wake up sleepyhead,” Riven says at the end of the line. “It’s almost midday.”I check my alarm clock. He’s right.That’s what a night pacing around your living room does for you.“Guess I overslept.”“Guess you did. You should’ve stayed over.”I sigh. “I hardly think that would’ve been a good idea.”“She loves you,” he says, just like that, and I sit bolt upright.“What?”“She loves you, she told me so. And she loves me, too.”A mix of relief and nausea floods through me. “She said that? Love?”“Uh huh, yeah. She said it. Love.”I can’t fight the zing of nerves. “And were you… when she said it?”“Was I fucking her?” He sighs. “No, Kennedy, I wasn’t fucking fucking her. How much of a cunt do you take me for?”“I’m sorry,” I say, and I am.“She did sleep in my bed though. But not lik

    AnnaI’ve been in Gloucester city centre a thousand times, but never with a hundred quid in my pocket. I feel uneasy to have it there, like someone is going to take it from me. Someone like Margaretha or one of his loser mates.That’s why I didn’t want Riven to bring me here. I didn’t want to risk running into any of them. I didn’t want them to see me with someone. Someone they could speak to, someone they could scare off me.Margaretha is the only family who’s ever stuck by me. He ruined my life, but he came through at the other side, tracking me down when I was fourteen and telling me he was still my brother.He’s never even mentioned what happened all those years ago, and I was always too scared to bring it up in case he dropped me again. Sometimes he’s kind and tells me about my old mum and dad, and sister, too. He says they don’t want to see me and never will, but I still care.I still like hearing about them.I guess he knows it and that’s why he’s always used it to take things

    Riven“She’ll be here,” I say, “she said she wouldn’t let us down.”Kennedy is pacing. Nervous as fuck.I’d like to say I’m not, but I’m more tightly wound than I’d like, even if I’m hiding it pretty well.“You gave her a hundred quid, Riven. She could be fucking anywhere right now.”“She won’t be,” I tell him, even though I’m not entirely sure. “We’re having movie night, she’ll be here.”“Or be drunk in an alleyway somewhere.”I sigh. “You’ve got to have some faith in her.”He flashes me a horrible stare. “I’ve got faith in her, Riven, it’s us I’ve got the issue with. Last night we slap her ass, today she’s taken off.”“She’s gone shopping, Kennedy.”“You don’t know that,” he insists, and he’s right. I don’t.I hope my gut is making the right call on this one. Not just on Anna being back in time to spend the evening with us, but on this whole crazy situation we’re involved with. I thought teaching her some discipline was the right call, just as holding her tight in my bed felt the ri

    AnnaI did good.It feels so good to do good. Buying presents for Riven and Kennedy was everything I hoped it would be. It’s not just in the way they say thanks over and over, and it’s not in the way I feel so proud as Riven places his present up on the cabinet where the other one used to be. It’s not even in the way Kennedy looks so fine as he tries his new tie on over his shirt.It’s in the way they smile, the way they look at me.The way their appreciation makes me feel so loved.I do feel loved here. I feel accepted and wanted and bothered enough about that they work through my shit rather than give up on me. I feel safe when I wake up in the morning, and like I belong right where I am as I walk through the fields behind the house.I never want to let this go, not any of it. Not this house, not this life, not Kennedy, and not Riven, either.I’ve never liked TV, not shows nor films, but after a couple of cold beers in Riven’s kitchen, laughing and joking through a load of old jokes

  • Alpha Linked   The wet noise

    I follow Riven downstairs and he opens the washing machine for me. I throw the clothes inside without bothering to separate them, but he pulls out the whites and leaves them in their own pile. I squeeze my thighs together at the sight of my dirty knickers in his hands, and I’m damp already without jeans on. I can feel it.He shows me the controls and I make a mental note of them. It’s really not as hard as the settings make it look.“Thanks,” I say and he grins.“My clothes suit you.”I roll my eyes. “Don’t think I’ll be going outside like this somehow.”“No,” he says. “You fucking won’t.” He points back through to the living room. “Movie night. No getting out of it.”I mock groan as I head on back through, and Kennedy startles as I enter, as though he’s been caught doing something he shouldn’t.I wonder if he’s been thinking about last night, just like I was. I wonder if it makes him feel guilty.Or horny.I hope it makes him feel horny.I slump back down between them and pick up the

    KennedyOh fuck, the noises she’s making. Her breath on my neck in little gasps, her fingers frantic inside her knickers. I can hear how wet she is. I can feel how desperate she is.And I’m desperate too.One look at Riven and I realise we both are. His eyes meet mine and stay there, waiting, and I know he’s pinning this all on me.My call.My filthy fucking call.My dick is throbbing like a sonofabitch, and that filthy scene on screen is everything that should turn me off but doesn’t. Far fucking from it.“Touch me…” she whispers, and it’s enough to break me.I give Riven the tiniest nod and he drops his eyes. His hand slides from her knee to her thigh and she spreads her legs for him, hitching one right across my lap as his fingers slide over her wet knickers. He moves his fingers over hers until she pulls hers away, and then his hand dips inside the lacy elastic and rubs her there.She moans into my neck. Right into my fucking neck.I part my thighs and her leg drops perfectly to p

    DANEFuck! It had taken longer than I had anticipated dealing with Eric, that I’d lost sight of my goal—to get to Tel’annas. By the time I’d knocked him out and left him for the Feds to deal with, she had been loaded into the back of an ambulance and was being rushed to a hospital. Dread started to pool within my gut thinking the worst as I scanned the chaos around me, looking for the one person responsible for the shit storm we were currently facing.“Did anyone see where Blaze went?” I yelled down the comms, hoping that at least someone in my team had been keeping an eye on him. Maybe it had been the guilt that had stopped me from going straight for her, I couldn’t tell. “We need to find out which hospital they are taking her to, I want feet on the ground there when she arrives, we can’t leave her unprotected.”All day I had been quietly trying to convince myself that everything would be okay after this, we’d be able to go back to what we were, but somewhere deep inside I knew that

  • Alpha Linked   The chaos

    TEL’ANNASPain radiated from my shoulder, I knew going into tonight that Blaze had changed the plan, he assured me he’d told the others of the change and after much apprehension I’d agreed to it. But fuck me, even though it was a blank I’d been shot with it fucking hurt like a bitch and I hit the ground like a sack of potatoes.Anarchy had descended over the fight ring. It was enough of a distraction that no one noticed Alexander Ducane had made his way over one of the exits. Playing dead and stuck in this tiny cage, there was nothing I could do.Everyone was out to save themselves, they were running for the exits as the guards and security tried to round them all up. Some were trying to fight their way out, while others were resigned to the fact they’d been caught and put up little resistance.Towards the middle of the ring I could see Dane and Eric going at one another. The look on Dane’s face fucking scared the shit out of me. Max Ducane had disappeared into the chaos and the othe

    DANEI’d let my anger get the best of me last night. I saw the hurt briefly flash in Tel’annas’s eyes when I had the club whore grinding all over me. It gave me a small amount of satisfaction knowing that it had affected her, just as much as having to watch the little show she and Blaze put on affected me. The only difference was while mine was out of spite, I had trouble making out whether her little act was done in order to keep up the charade or if there was something little more starting between the two of them.“You’re just lucky you didn’t do anything you couldn’t come back from Dane,” Madden had been giving me shit all morning over the night before, and it was starting to really piss me off. “You didn’t hear the hurt in her voice as she watched man, it fucking killed her.”“Okay I bloody get it Madden, I fucked up,” I snapped at him, I’d had enough at this stage, and I didn’t need this shit right now, not when we were about to head into the final stages of the plan. “Can you j

    TEL’ANNASWe’d been here for an hour and already I was ready to get out of here, unfortunately Alexander had other plans. The asshole had spent the last thirty minutes talking to some of his other backers and from the little I could make out, something had them scared. More than a few wanted to pull out, stating they wanted nothing to do with whatever revenge plan he had cooked up.Hearing that, I could only surmise that either my family or Dane had figured out the other parties involved and had applied some pressure. It gave me some hope that all was not lost and a small amount of satisfaction that Eric was full of shit—my family did care. I still hadn’t been able to make contact with Dane, and Blaze had been busy playing his part, schmoozing the others that shared the VIP balcony, always making sure I was within his reach.Security had been beefed up tonight as well, many of whom I didn’t recognise, although that wasn’t hard given I’d barely been allowed to leave the room I’d been

  • Alpha Linked   The bear

    DANEI should have guessed this little party would be held at the Dolls House. I mean why hold it in a classy establishment when you could invite the scourge of society to a place and ply them with alcohol while throwing pussy at them.“No one is to drink,” I turned to my guys, even as the words left my mouth I had doubts about whether I’d be able to stick to the order. I wanted them to be alert at all times tonight, I had no idea what we were walking into. We’d seen the floor plans for this shit hole, and had been inside once or twice since we’d arrived in Claymore but we were not as familiar with it as I'd have liked. “I want eyes on all our targets, if an opportunity should arise, we take who we can.”“Dane, Blaze said not to cause any trouble,” Madden reminded me of the conversation we’d had. And yeah of course I know I was asked not to cause waves, but it won’t stop me if the opportunity comes my way.“Don’t care,” I said as we made our way to the entrance of the club. I had mor

    TEL’ANNASMy nerves were frayed, ever since the night of the fucking live stream, even the slightest movements made me jump. Blaze tried everything he could to reassure me there’d be no repeats of that fucking shitshow, I just had trouble believing him. I’d tried numerous times to reach out to Dane, yet Madden always answered and kept saying it wasn’t a good time, then would go on to ask what had happened.No matter how many times he asked, I couldn’t find it in myself to discuss, hell even I was having trouble coming to terms with it. Dane had told me to do what I needed to, and I had to a certain point. I had no idea how far I’d have to go, and when I realized the gravity of it all, it was too late by then. The room was full of people, guards had guns, I had just retreated into myself and tried to block it out.Thankfully Blaze had left me since, having sensed that I was not in the mood to talk to him, at this stage I’d convinced myself I had been stupid to blindly follow along.

    DANE“What the fuck happened the other night?” I could hear Madden talking on the phone. The last three days I’d done nothing but train. It was all I could do to keep the images of my Princess on her knees out of my head. “He’s been raging ever since the damn live feed.”It took a full day before I’d been ready to talk to anyone after the crap show. Madden and Ax had really stepped up and taken charge. They’d had to sedate me in order to get me to calm down and in that time they’d found out a whole fuck load of information that we’d been able to use.Jonah had been able to identify almost eighty percent of the other contestants and all of the other partners that Alexander Ducane had gathered on that night. While I’d have liked to have had some say in the planning that followed, Madden had really stepped up as my VP. Liaising with Stryker to have their resources work on taking out the financial backers.I wasn’t quite sure exactly what they had told the Lennox’s about that night but f

    TEL’ANNASMy skin crawled as the guards led me back to the room I shared with Blaze. The events of the night were on constant loop inside my head, everything on display for everyone to see. Gripping my robe tightly around my body, I tried to assure myself I’d get through this. I did what I had to do to survive. When I closed my eyes all I could see were the faces of the men who’d jerked off while I was strapped to the table. I heard their moans as they reached their release and smeared it over me as if they were laying claim.When I’d entered the room the first thing I did was run to the waste bin, everything inside me came up. Angry tears ran down my face as I stepped into the bathroom. Making sure the door was locked, I’d trusted Blaze before and that had landed me here. I felt dirty and ashamed. I had no doubt that Dane and some of the others were privy to the deprivation I’d experienced tonight.I rushed to the toilet again, the mere thought that Dane had witnessed tonight's even

    DANEMadden, Ax and I had gathered in my room, laptop ready for the Contenders Preview. About an hour ago we’d all received an email from the organizers, with a link to an invitation for a special preview of what we could look forward to. My stomach had been in knots ever since.“You ready for this?” Madden asked. It was a loaded question if I ever heard one. Was I ready? Fuck no, there was no preparing for what was about to unfold. I just shook my head and let out a loaded sigh.“Let's just get this over with,” I answered. Checking my phone one last time, still no answer from Blaze. That didn’t sit well with me, once we’d read the initial email, I’d reached out in order to find out more about the event, but there had been no reply which didn’t help with the angsty feelings I had.Both men just looked at me, a silent message passed between them before Ax clicked on the link. I was thankful that I’d given Jonah one of the links for tonight, because it became evident rather quickly tha
