*** Third Person POVThe room was dimly lit, a streetlamp outside cast a soft glow through the sheer curtains. The hotel suite was quiet, the distant hum of the city muffled by the thick walls. Eamon and Liliana found themselves entangled on the couch, their bodies pressed together in a slow, rhythmic dance. Liliana straddled him, her thighs resting on either side of his hips, their movements synchronized as they explored each other’s bodies. What had begun as an aggressive, almost feral need had gradually softened into something more tender.Eamon’s hands traced the curve of her spine, feeling the warmth of her skin through the thin fabric of her shirt. Liliana’s fingers brushed through his hair, her touch light but deliberate, as if she were committing every strand to memory. The intensity of their earlier passion had given way to a different kind of intimacy—one where every sigh, every breath, was laden with meaning.Their bodies moved together, not in the frantic rush of desire, b
Alpha's Hidden Chains 16 | Echoes of the Night
*** Liliana's POVThe next morning, I wake slowly, the ache in my body a reminder of the night before. It’s a pleasant soreness, one that fills me with a sense of satisfaction and contentment. As I stretch, I feel the sheets glide over my skin, and for a moment, I bask in the warmth of the bed, in the lingering scent of Eamon that clings to the fabric.The suite is quiet, almost too quiet, and as I turn over, I realize that Eamon isn’t beside me. My heart sinks a little at the emptiness of the space, at the realization that he’s gone. I take a deep breath, pushing down the disappointment. This was what we’d agreed on, wasn’t it? Time to reflect, to figure out where we stood.But as I sit up, wrapping the sheet around me like a toga, I can’t help but feel a pang of regret. Part of me had hoped for more of the night before, for the connection we’d found in each other’s arms to continue. But maybe it was better this way. Maybe it was necessary to take a step back, to let the dust settle

*** Third Person POVEamon watched Liliana’s car disappear down the road, the early morning light casting long shadows across the pavement. The suite felt eerily empty now, the echoes of their night together lingering in the silence. He ran a hand through his hair, trying to shake off the lingering warmth of her body against his. It was time to shift gears, to leave the world of intimacy behind (grudgingly) and step back into the light of his other life.The call he’d received earlier tugged at his thoughts. The case was pressing, a reminder that the world outside was as brutal and unforgiving as ever. As he walked to his car, the weight of his responsibilities settled back onto his shoulders, heavier than before. The city around him blurred as his mind began to sift through the details of the ongoing investigation, forcing thoughts of Liliana back.By the time he reached his office, Eamon was in work mode. The building loomed above him, a stark contrast to the warmth of the suite he

*** Liliana's POVLiliana leaned back in her chair, eyes half-closed as she let the warm steam from her mug of tea rise to meet her face. The familiar smell of chamomile soothed her senses, easing the remnants of tension that still clung to her after the whirlwind of the past twenty-four hours. She had napped for a few hours after returning home, the exhaustion from the night with Eamon weighing heavily on her. The sleep had been dreamless, offering her a respite from the intensity of her thoughts. Now, showered and wrapped in a cozy robe, she felt a semblance of normalcy returning.But normalcy was a relative term. Nothing felt quite the same since she’d met Eamon (aka AlphaWatcher). The memories of their night together lingered like a warm, pulsing echo in the back of her mind—and body. Every brush of fabric against her skin reminded her of his touch, every breath she took seemed to carry the faint scent of him—earthy, masculine, magnetic. She knew she should be focused on other th

*** Third Person POVLiliana sat at her desk, staring at the blinking cursor on her screen. "Okay, Lil," she muttered to herself, "let's see where we’re at with this." She scrolled through the document, bracing herself for the usual feeling of dread that came with being behind. But this time, something was different.“Huh,” she murmured, a small smile forming on her lips. “I’m actually farther along than I thought.”Her initial outline had seemed overwhelming, crammed with too much content for the original ten-minute slot. But now, with the expanded time, it was almost perfect. “I’m not going to have to trim much at all,” she realized. Relief washed over her. “This might actually work.”Liliana glanced at the clock on her computer. It was getting late, but she was too absorbed in her work to care. “Just a little more,” she whispered, her fingers flying

*** Third Person POV“Tell me to come to you right now.”She blinked, the directness of the message sending a shiver down her spine. The night before had been intense, overwhelming even, but they had both agreed to the plan—to take a step back, to give themselves space. But now, with those words staring back at her, she felt the walls she had built around herself start to crumble.She hesitated, her mind racing. What did he want? What did she want? Did he think she would just say it? Just like that?A second text came through. “Even if it’s not what you want.”She could practically hear his voice in those words, low and commanding. Liliana swallowed, her mouth suddenly dry. How will you know if I really want you to come then? she typed back, her fingers trembling slightly as she hit send.The response was almost immediate. “Because I already know what you want.”Her breath caught in her throat. Of course, he knew. Eamon always knew. But that only made her more determined to keep up the

(5 MONTHS BEFORE THE ACCIDENT)*** Third Person POVThe auditorium is bathed in a low, intimate light, the stage a focal point of anticipation. The audience sits in hushed silence, the atmosphere electric with curiosity. The Guest Speaker steps onto the stage, the red TED letters standing boldly behind her, symbolizing ideas that challenge the norm. She’s dressed simply, yet her presence commands the room. She pauses at the center, letting the silence build before her voice cuts through the darkness.“Danger,” she begins, her tone steady but with an edge that promises more. “It’s a word that triggers an instinctual reaction—our pulse quickens, adrenaline surges, and suddenly, we’re hyper-aware of everything around us. But what if I told you that danger is also one of the most potent fuels for sexual desire?”The audience shifts in their seats, some leaning forward, others exchanging glances, intrigued but uncertain.“Tonight,” she continues, “we’re going to explore how danger and anti

*** Third Person POV:Eamon’s hand tangles in her hair, pulling her head back with a firm but deliberate grip, exposing the delicate line of her neck. He leans in, his breath hot against her skin, his tongue slides sensuously down the center of her throat, tracing the line between her breasts. The path it makes feels like a slow burn, setting her nerves alight in a way that makes her shudder. Without warning, he captures one of her nipples between his teeth, pulling on it with a roughness that sends a jolt of sharp pain through her.Liliana yelps, the sound escaping her lips before she can stifle it. It’s an honest cry of pain, but it’s mixed with something else—an undercurrent of pleasure that she can’t quite ignore. Eamon seizes the moment, his mouth crashing onto hers, capturing the cry in a kiss that’s all-consuming, swallowing her sounds before they can disappear into the air. The kiss is hot, demanding, a claiming of sorts.With a swift, almost feral movement, he spins her aroun
