[Lennox’s POV]"If we’re done here, I’m taking Lennox to bed." Silas announced, beginning to usher me past Alphonze. "And thanks for your help today.""Yeah, you too." Alphonze muttered as we continued to move. "And I’m sorry for doubting you."At his words, Silas froze, but he didn’t turn to look a
[Silas’s POV]"What I want?" I repeated, raising my brow.If I were being honest, there were quite a few things I wanted to do to her, but I wasn’t sure if she was ready for them.So far, every time we fucked, I kept it pretty natural, but maybe now was the time to amp it up and pull out my many toy
[Lennox’s POV]Frustration rolled through me as I attempted to move but remembered I was cuffed. Fuck, this man was driving me mad, but I had to admit, I liked it. The buildup of anticipation made the sex that much more satisfying."Please," I whimpered, arching my back in an attempt to ease my crav
[Silas’s POV]"Mark me." Lennox whispered, her cheeks flushing a beautiful pink. "Or are you going to make me beg?"Beg… Was I going to make her beg? Hell no! I already intended to make her completely mine regardless, but to hear her ask me left me feeling an odd sense of wonder."Are you sure?" I a
[Silas’s POV]I waited as Uncle Clinton examined me as if he didn’t quite recognize me."Silas?" He rasped, his brows raising. "It’s really you.""Yes, it is.""Do you like my surprise?" Alphonze asked, plopping down on the other side of Lennox, who silently looked from Uncle Clinton to me. "I’m ass
[Lennox’s POV]War… My heart dropped as I let that one word replay itself again and again in my head. This was possibly our future, and I wasn’t sure if I was ready for that.Looking down, I lifted a hand and placed it against my stomach before giving it a slight rub.Would it happen before or after

[Aera’s POV]9 months Late"Mmm, Aera, right there."Ayla’s voice echoes around me, spurring my movements even more. Knowing she was enjoying what I was doing to her was all the encouragement I needed."Ah!" she gasps, leaning more into the chair in front of her. "Not so hard."Chuckling, I lean for
When I reach my parents, their faces fill with relief, and I feel my heart squeeze. Even though they hadn’t spoken a word about everything that happened, I was sure that they were now expecting me to snap at any given second. I still had a lot of making up to do in order to gain everyone’s trust an
[Celia’s POV] I stare up into Alphonze’s dark, unreadable eyes while trying to figure out exactly what I was feeling. Was I just caught by surprise because he suddenly appeared, and that was why I suddenly felt jittery and my heart was racing? Right, that had to be it; there couldn’t be anything e

[Ayla's POV]The next day, I sit in the passenger seat of Aera's car, staring at Crimsone Tides Estate while fighting the urge to run away. When I entered that building, I'd be making the toughest decision of my life, and I wasn't exactly sure if I was ready.Beside me, Aera remains silent while hol
