I refused to blink, refused to let the tears escape tonight. I’d cried enough and if I let one tear escape, the dam would break free and I’d show Chance a side of me he’s never seen. There was something about this moment that I craved, that I had wanted with Shane. Max gave me an ounce of it when I wanted a pound. It hadn’t been enough. It felt like I’d gotten a sip of water in a dry desert and I was dying of thirst.
My heart was weak from the night before, the need to have someone care for me stopped the words from coming out. He released my arm and I dropped it to my side as he fell to his knees in front of me. I stared down at him as I watched him. I waited with baited breath until gray eyes peered up at me. Leaning forward, his lips caressed each ugly bruise and I inhaled sharply when he used his hand to move my leg. My legs opened for him. He didn’t have to be a wolf to smell my arousal.
I could
Chance’s gray eyes bore into my brown ones. The question in his morphed as a look of understanding flashed in them. One second he’d been submissive and in the next he was dominant. I didn’t have to tell Chance what I wanted, he knew me and he knew my body like he’d explored it many times before, as if he wasn’t a stranger to my body and in a way, he wasn’t. I watched as he leaned in, his eyes held mine as his flat pink tongue slid into my pussy. My lips parting and wrapping around him as my legs widened for him. A moan fell from my lips as he slowly pushed deeper inside of me, his head inching forward. My chest rose and fell as I fought the urge to lose my eyes and let my head drop back. The need to bear witness to his snake-like tongue as it disappeared inside of me won out. My jaw dropped as he pushed deep, his tongue stretching as it pushed inside of me, and I watched as his nose pressed against my pelvic bone.“Goddess,” I groaned. “That… that feels so good.” Pulling out of my cun
Chance’s fingers ran up and down my spine. True to his word, he didn’t push me, nor did he ask for more. If I hadn’t met Shane, I think I would have eventually given Chance a shot. I couldn’t help but laugh as my thoughts drifted towards that tongue work. I would have let that happen earlier if I knew he was so talented.He walked me to Shane’s room and as hard as I tried not to, there was little I could do to stop the excitement bubbling within me. There was a bit of a spring to my step as I tried and failed to rush. I was running late and the image of seeing his smirk and that look in his eyes that said I was inferior to him lit a fire low in my belly. I waved Chance goodbye before opening the door and slipping inside. Shane was nowhere to be found and I swallowed down the lump in my throat. Sitting down, I waited for him, but he never showed up.I went home that morning, filled with disappointment. Shane didn’t show up the next three nights. I didn’t see him during the day either.
Four days since I met him and three days since I’d last seen him. I was getting ready when an unwelcome feeling filled my chest. Nervousness. Why hadn’t he stopped by to see me? Was he staying away to torture me, or… was there… someone else?Even as I drove to Ocean Side for my next shift, I grew excited with the thought of tonight being the night I saw him again. What happened to hating him? I felt like I could hate and want to see him at the same time. My heart thrummed in my chest at the image of him throwing the door open and using me like he did the first time. I was not ashamed of where my thoughts instantly went when Shane was involved. I wondered what we would do when he did show up and wondered how I had even driven this far without crashing.My phone rang and pulled me from my daydream of all the wicked things I wanted Shane to do to me. Irritation filled me, not from the call, but from the fact that even though he annoyed the hell out of me, I couldn’t help but want him. I
That feeling is back and with a vengeance. Unease pricks at the corners of my mind and my heart constricts. I grab the shot glasses as soon as Randy places them down. One, two, clank! They don’t burn as they go down and I know this is where I should stop. I sigh as I turn to Sakura and Crystal. They are both blushing as Sakura placed her order with Randy.“Hey Luna," Sakura said sweetly as Crystal told Randy what she wanted.“Star got a hot client?” I asked, my voice came out a little raspy.“Yes! He’s like… drop dead sexy,” she said. Her voice was loud enough to hear over the blaring music. She’s wearing a bright pink kimono and a blue headband with Japanese characters on it. Her nipples are barely covered by her kimono. “He gives off unredeemable villain vibes and I just-ah,” she moans as she shivers.“You didn’t check it out when you got here?” Crystal asked. I shook my head. “After we got dressed, we came out and noticed it right away. I had to see what the fuss was about and I wa
This is the most vulnerable I’ve ever felt. I decided not to let him get to me, and I failed. I built my walls up and made them as sigh as possible, only to have a man I’ve only met once knock them all down with nothing more than a glance. Goddess, I hate him. I hate how Shane makes me feel so weak. My stupid tears won’t stop and blurred my surroundings. My throat aches and tightens, making it hard to breathe. The sound of heels clacking bounces off the walls as I run from obsidian eyes. I don’t even know where I’m going. I just needed to get as far away from them as possible.Korra’s howls only tore my heart more. My eyes instantly find the door to the room I’m supposed to wait for Shane in. I can’t bring myself to go in there. I can’t. I don’t want to. It would be a whole new low for me to witness him fucking someone else and still waiting for him in that room like a good girl. The thought of doing that only adds gasoline to the flames and I burn with the need to lash out. I want to
Now that I’ve done it, I don’t know what I was expecting to find. I didn’t even wipe my face, but I refuse to be weak with Chance. Before I can change my mind, I lift my chin and walk into the room like I’ve done a million times before. The door closes behind me and just like that, the low smooth music meant for VIP guests muffles and replaces the music from the club.My eyes flutter shut as I inhale the familiar scent of pine and campfire.The last of my tears escape and stream down my cheeks. Opening my eyes, my gaze slides over the room until I find him sitting on the opposite side of the room, in my seat. He looks as charming as ever with a white buttoned up dress shirt. His eyes are wide in surprise and his jaw is hanging open.Chance was not expecting me to burst into his room and that only pleases me. This is the first time I’ve walked into this room with him in here to not find him on his knees. While this irritates me, I get why he isn’t in his usual position. I’ve made him w
Would I look at Chance differently if he was a wolf? He let out a breath as I pressed the pointy end right below his shoulder. It wasn’t from pain, was it relief? Why would he be relieved? I pushed my weight onto the heel currently pressed into his oh-too-clean white dress shirt, but he didn’t move. This isn’t what I was thinking when I came to his room, but here we both were. Warm hands slid up my calf and stopped around my knee.A shiver ran up my spine and I took a deep breath as my legs trembled. Misunderstanding my pleasure for shakiness, his hand disappeared from my knee and I peered down my nose at him as he lifted his hand above his head. He was offering to help me steady myself while I hurt him. I took in the gesture and slapped his hand away. I wasn’t like this with anyone else, but with Chance, I could be real, and as much as I hated it, raw. Maybe that fact alone made him special.I swallowed, ran my
Whatever I thought Chance was about to say, that definitely wasn’t it. My eyes went wide as saucers and my jaw dropped. My nipples pressed against the thin fabric of my clothing and everything clenched. I blinked a few times to make sure I heard what I think I did. He pulled back and looked down at me with a look that said he was dead serious.Goddess. And gush.He leaned back, and I smirked as I held his gaze and spread my legs. “Like this, sir?” I taunted. He shook his head. “Wider?”“That’s not my title,” he growled. My lips parted as my eyes widened.“And what would that be?” I asked.“Alpha,” he growled. My jaw dropped as I stared up at Chance. His hand reached out, and he pulled my bottom lip down with his thumb. “Say it again.”
Shane’s words are a shock to my system. Silence stretches between us, and I don’t know how long we sit there. I watched as he ran his lips against my knuckles before kissing the back of my hand. I can’t keep my eyes off of him, and as I stare at the side of his face, anger bubbles inside of me.What the hell is he thinking?Unlike the night I met him in this life, there’s no hate there. Shane emits love and patience, and if I hadn’t already spent the time that I had with him, I would have thought I was dreaming. His lashes are unfairly curled, his nose sharp, and as he straightens, I sigh as he runs his fingers through his hair. I don’t need memories of my past life to know that’s always been my favorite thing.Shane’s walls have come crumbling down, and now that I’ve got the man I love marked, and in bed with me, I can’t help but wonder why the fuck he’s here. His eyes meet mine and the corner of his lip pulls back until he flashes me with that panty-dropping smirk. Meanwhile, I’m st
Shadow ~ LivingstonCry ~ Benson BooneAdeaSilence. Absolute silence. I couldn’t even hear his breathing. One glance at his chest proved he hadn’t taken a breath since the words left my mouth. I waited for his answer, but his next breath was all I got before he lifted me up. Supporting my weight, he turned and walked to the sectional. With him leaning back, it felt good being in his arms for this conversation.“Of all the things you could ask…”“You said you’d answer anything,” I reminded.“I did.”“But not this?” I asked curiously.“I will. Just… give me a minute.”“Okay,” I breathed.Lowering my gaze, I gave him a second. My fingers danced along his defined abs as I waited. His chest rose and fell and I glanced up as he ran his hand through his hair. My favorite curl rebelliously dropping back into place on his forehead. His jaw ticked, and I wondered if it was that big of a deal for him to appear, what I would call, pissed.“You had come to stay with me. When I heard you were home
AdeaShane’s heat vibrated against mine. He fit perfectly. Everything had been going so well and now it felt like the ground beneath our feet was shaking. My natural instinct was to look at his lips, to reach out for him, to beg him to make it go away like he had in the truck on the way here. But the time for running had past, and this was a hurtle I couldn’t avoid.There was nothing that could make me feel better about this situation. Images of Shane fucking a multitude of faceless, hot, nameless women flashed one after the other through my mind. No one could make me question my self worth, but when it came to him, Goddess, it was impossible to see how I could ever be enough. Beka walking into the space that’s supposed to be mine set flame to the gasoline that lay at our feet. But, of course, instead of making it better, Shane outright admitted he’d been with women. I wanted to laugh. Knowing he’d probably never turned anyone down until today left a bitter taste in my mouth. It didn’
As soon as I came from the high Shane gave me, the anger came flooding back. And the bastard had the audacity to smile. I don’t know how he did it, but he saw everything. Well, I guess if we’d live multiple lives, he’d know everything about me. I didn’t understand why he could remember, while I couldn’t. His smirk turned into a shit-eating grin, pulling at both corners of his mouth, and my stomach flip-flopped. My pussy still spasmed in the aftermath of my orgasm, but Shane dropped his forehead to mine and laughed. I pushed against his chest, but with a twist of the wrist; I moaned and jerked against him. His shirt was soaked, and I spat it out. It was warm and wet where it fell against my thigh.Bastard.“What’s so fucking funny?” I snapped. Quickly, I swiped at the drool on my chin. The two parts of me waged a war; the one that loved him and the one that resented him. One second I was gushing for him and the next I wanted to punch the ass. His shoulders shook as he pulled his fingers
Shane’s eyes held mine and I tracked the movement of his tongue as it slid along his bottom lip. His head dipped as he lowered himself, as if he couldn’t get close enough. And I watched as he ran his hard, flat tongue up my spread lips. I fought the urge to close my eyes and throw my head back. The need to revel in the pleasure Shane gave me was strong, but I couldn’t. His eyes darkened as he closed his mouth and his throat bobbed. And I was thankful I kept my eyes on him. His lashes fluttered as he savored my taste. Shane was more beautiful than the paintings hanging on the wall. He was a work of art and I could stare at him for hours, days, weeks; however long I could.“More,” I demanded.A rumbling sound sent goosebumps down my arms. My lips parted as his mouth opened and his pink tongue darted out. My thighs shook as I watched it flick over my clit. I widened my legs; needy for more, so much more. My fingers curled against his scalp and I pulled on his hair. Willing him to give me
Aphrodite ~ Sam ShortInstinct told me I needed to protect myself. The need to wrap my arms around myself was strong, but Shane was everywhere. He lifted me and I wrapped my legs around his waist. My hands rested on his chest. He pressed a kiss to my hair, my forehead, my nose. Even as I wanted to escape this wretched feeling in my chest, I couldn’t help but burrow closer. My lashes fluttering to a close as he murmured my name. I swallowed the lump in my throat and let my hands fall as he placed me on the table.The sweet happiness that made me so giddy I ran from him was gone. And in its place a small hole. Pettiness, anger, and jealousy clawed at my chest. His shirt had ridden up less than an inch more and I would be on full display. My gaze trailed up the ridges and dips of his abdomen. Beneath the light, I noticed the light markings of scars on the back of his biceps and arms. Muscles turned to broad shoulders, but my gaze locked on my mark.Shane is mine.Always has been.Always
Go to Hell ~ LetdownAdeaThe silence was deafening. It was so still, you could hear a pin drop. Just an arm’s length away, his slow breaths filled the silence as Shane hovered behind me. I refused to look at him just yet. My emotions waged war within me. Did I want to yell or cry? I needed a moment. Closing my eyes, I took several deep breaths, trying and failing to calm myself down.Breathe in.1…2…3…4…Hold.1…2…3…4…Exhale.1…2…3…4…The damn breathing thing thing wasn’t working. Back when Gabe and I first came here, he taught me this breathing technique to help with my panic attacks. Instead of pushing thoughts of him away, it did the opposite. Every time I inhaled, I got lungfuls of Shane, his presence surrounded me. Demolishing the wall of safety I tried so hard to build up. As if he heard the wall come tumbling down, he stepped closer. The heat came off of him in waves, cutting through the short distance and caressed me. It was so hard to be mad at him, but my mind and
My skin heated, and it felt as if my blood were boiling. I don’t know which part I was more angry about. This woman being here in my space, the supposed plan to remove her from the premises, or the way Shane called her name. Was it a nickname? Maybe it was all the above that truly pissed me off. My gaze locked with Gabe’s and I gave him the ‘Am I the only one insane here?’ look, but he just shook his head reassuringly. So either I wasn’t, or the two of us were both equally crazy. Turning my focus back to Beka, I waited impatiently for what she’d say. My lip curled as she softened her eyes and pouted.“When you didn’t come back, I was worried. On top of that, you didn’t answer any of my texts.” She hunched her shoulders, making herself appear smaller. We’re taught this at a young age to show an aggressive male we were weak and meant no harm. My skin crawled as she leaned into him, invading his space. I bit back the whine in my throat as my insecure thoughts swirled through my mind.Is s
I am not okay ~ Jelly RollAdeaKorra caught her scent before I could, and she was seething. Alarm bells were going off. There was a female in our mate’s suite. I didn’t know when it happened, but we had claimed not only Shane, but this area as ours. Only those we allowed were permitted to be here, and this woman wasn’t supposed to be here. My wolf snarled and snapped her fierce jaws at the uninvited guest. Normally, I can keep her under control, but right now, it felt like we were one and the same.Her anger, her hate, her pain, her need to draw blood—all of it was mine.My eyes trailed up from her red Jimmy Choos, along her thin yet muscular legs, to the white skirt that left nothing to the imagination, past her breasts that were barely covered by an uncountable number of diamonds. Red-kissed lips with a perfect cupid’s bow jutted out in a pout that matched her heels, blue eyes that instantly zoned in on Shane, and too-straight princess blonde hair flowed down her back.Still, she wo
