The morning seemed to roll around quicker than she had anticipated, and Ann didn't feel like she had slept at all. She must have fallen asleep at some point in the early hours though, listening to the rhythmic soft snoring of Adam as his chest rose and fell predictably under her hand. When she opened her eyes Adam was nowhere to be seen and Coral was in the process of laying out breakfast on the table by the window. Ann stretched reluctantly and sat up in bed, blinking the sleep from her eyes and before he could open her mouth to ask anything, Coral spoke. "Good morning your highness." She said softly with a little bow, "The Queens Consort said to tell you that he's gone to call Allen, and not to forget that Eva will be here shortly. He thought it prudent to have breakfast in your chambers so as to save a little time." Ann opened her mouth to object and then closed it again, as a smile played at the edges of her mouth. "It makes sense. Thank you, Coral. Give me a few momen
Adam had returned to the room shortly after Eva and Coral left and found himself confronted with his beautiful wife focusing intently on the phone in front of her. He pushed his hands further into his pocket and readjusted himself as he leaned against the doorframe. She was stunning in every way, even focused so intently on whatever she was doing, he just wanted to pepper her neck with kisses and hear her moan underneath him again. It had taken an incredible amount of self-control not to ravage her last night. His instincts told him that they both needed the release that being together would bring, but he was also acutely aware that when it came to their intimacy, they were both anything but quiet. There would be nothing holding them back tonight though. He allowed himself to indulge a little longer, drinking in the sight of her and storing it away in his mind to recall at his convenience before he cleared his throat and she looked up at him with a sultry smile on her
Gasps of horror could be heard from around the room as they conferred amongst themselves whilst Cornelius stood, isolated and speechless in the face of such a verbal assault. It was glaringly obvious that not a single person here had challenged her father and had allowed themselves to become complacent in their duties. "I am waiting for you to make me understand, Cornelius," Ann growled, her eyes flashing a dangerous gold as the realization set in amongst the Elders that Ann was looking for someone to blame for this colossal tragedy. When Cornelius didn't reply, instead looking around himself for support from his colleagues, and finding none, he bowed his head in shame. Ann stood slowly, approaching Cornelius with fury radiating from her and he knew instantly that his former attitude towards her was entirely misplaced. The raw strength and power that rolled off her so effortlessly meant that she was a formidable foe, and with her consort at her side, this was not a wise ene
The first meeting of the day had run over schedule by about an hour, and as the Elders filed out of the room in silence, Adam reached for Ann's hand and gave it a squeeze, before he brought it to his lips, placing a soft kiss on her skin. "You were magnificent, my Queen." He murmured as Ann giggled like a teenager at the intimate moment between them. "I just hope they finally got the message," she sighed, her disappointment still evident as they stood and began to make their way toward the next scheduled meeting. She was satisfied with the agreed-upon actions that the Elders had committed to and had ordered the measures discussed to be implemented immediately. At least now, she had a solid plan that she could relay to Alpha Felix so that their Kingdom didn't come across as incompetent. Ann's phone rang seconds before Adam's did, and seeing Lexi on her caller display and Allen on Adam's, they quickly took a detour to find a smaller side room where they could talk in private.
Adam's lips crashed against hers, devouring her hungrily as his hands found their way under her shirt, eagerly grasping at the places on her body that made her moan with delight. The sensations threatened to overwhelm her as she fumbled with the zip on his trousers, desperately seeking the bulge that was growing within as the seconds ticked by. "Ann, we should lock the door." He murmured between kisses. "I don't give a fuck if we're caught, Adam… I need this… I need you in me." She murmured as she finally freed the monster in his pants and wrapped her fingers around it. Adam hissed lightly in appreciation and his head tilted back reflexively as she began to work her fingers up and down the shaft of his penis, drinking in the sight of his muscular neck bared so elegantly before her. She bent over and placed her lips along the beautiful lines of his neck and jaw, peppering kisses, biting, licking, and sucking as she went, all the while working her hand firmly and gently along
Lexi paced anxiously in her father's lounge as she waited for him to finish gathering his things. Steven stood at the side of the doorway to his room like a statue, his stoic face impassive, and the only visible movement was his eyes as they followed Lexi's pacing. "You'll wear a hole in the carpet if you continue walking the same patterns." He observed dryly. Lexi paused and looked at him in shock, removing her hands from her mouth where she had been gnawing on the edges of her fingernails as a wry smile found its way onto her lips. "Well, fuck me, Steven, you do speak." "I'd rather not." He answered flatly, his eyes remaining fixed on her father's doorway. "What? Fuck me? Or speak?" Lexi teased. Steven chose not to answer, only sighing slightly and crossing his arms in front of him. Lexi chuckled and waved her hand dismissively at him. "I'd probably break you anyway." Lexi smirked, "Things do tend to get brittle with age, don't they? And considering you're a wrait
Allen had spent the morning fielding phone calls with Adam and ensuring that the omegas had everything ready for when Lexi and her father arrived. The conversation with Adam had been a difficult one to say the least. Having to admit that he had indeed been acting like a righteous prick instead of claiming his mate as he should have, was one of the hardest things that he had ever had to do. The constant arguing with his wolf on a daily basis had been more than draining. But Allen knew, as soon as he saw Lexi engrossed in conversation with another man, and loving every second of it, he had to claim her as his. Admittedly, he had lost his cool with that cocky little twat Greyson, but he deserved that… and it felt damn good landing that punch on his arrogant little face. Allen snorted to himself at the memory and the corners of his lips curved upward into a smirk, but it faded just as quickly when he remembered the way that Lexi had pushed away from him, and ran straight to hi
Lord Brarthroroz refused any assistance with their baggage from the omegas and instead insisted on carrying it themselves as Allen led them up the stairs and through the corridors to the comfortable guest quarters that were reserved for important guests. Allen was positive that Lexi had completely misunderstood his lack of composure when they first appeared and he actually missed her over-familiarity now that she had closed herself off from him. He would give anything to have her gripping hold of his arm and teasing him mercilessly, instead of trailing behind him with that cold, emotionless stare that she had fixed on his back at the minute. "Is everything okay, Beta Allen? You seem as distracted as my daughter has been. Is there something going on between you two that I should know about?" "No!" Allen and Lexi both replied hastily at the same time, with matching guilty expressions plastered on their faces. Lord Brarthroroz chuckled. "You're both terrible liars… but I won
