…KAGE POV…
Moving with pure elegance, I watch her sway those goddamn hips with utmost tormented purpose. Flicking them from side to side, that skirt flares just enough to give me a full view of her tight ass. Every emotion that was ever filled with rage, is set on fire…
That fire that once burned for her ignites right the fuck alight.
And in a mere than the blink of an eye, my only desire is to taste Avyanna Tate…
It takes me less than two strides, and I burst through the back door only to catch a glimpse of her as she disappears around the corner. With a nothing but smirk and the hint of a growl, I adjust my growing erection, “Not so fast, my little wolf.” Then from underneath my breath, I whisper, “I am not done with you yet.”
But as I take that corner, sneaking up from the side, I see her toy boy pushing his way through the door, short on the heels of my prize, into the lady’s bathroom.
Picking up the pace, I slip in behind just as the door is about to close, then with nothing but warning, my voice grows louder, “What exactly is it that you think you are doing in here?”
“What the fuck?” Our eyes lock in a heated gaze, and a fit of anger consumes her, “Get out, Kage!”
As I step closer to where he has her wrapped in his hungry embrace, I only continue to demand, “Take your fucking filthy paws off her.”
Pushing Avyanna to the side, he snaps into my direction and shoves his goddamn face right up to mine, “Who the fuck do you think you are?”
“It does not concern you, little boy, but why don’t ask Avyanna?”
“I am asking you,” he hisses and steps even further right up to my chest. With his breath falling warm against my cheek, I watch his lips tremble, “I said, who the fuck do you think you are?”
I cannot help but burst out in a rumble, knotting my fists in his shirt, I shove him back, “I own this town, and as for your Avyanna…” Pausing for a breath, I push his back up against the mirror, with a slight crack, my voice grows even louder, “Well, she belongs to me.”
“Ya, right, over my dead body,” he slams his hands against my shoulders and drives me into the wall behind. “Why don’t you just fuck off.”
Next, I hear the voice of Avyanna, “I don’t belong to you, Kage.” Then with much force, she pulls her little toy boy back, “Come, Liam, we are leaving.”
“Yes, Liam,” with his back at my face, my voice taunts him. “You are leaving, Liam…” Then I watch as Avyanna pulls him towards the door, yet as she reaches out, I grab her by the arm and rip her close to my chest, “Liam is leaving alone…”
“Let go of me, Kage!”
Liam spins on his heels, and along he brings his fist swinging, “Get your fucking…”
There is a loud thud…
Avyanna gasps in shock as she turns to me with only rage fueling her tiny body, “You did not have to knock him out!”
I cannot help but chuckle, “I told him to leave, but he did not listen.”
“You are a fucking asshole, Kage.”
As she slams her fist into my chest, I lock my arms around her waist, “A fucking asshole that you want.”
“Please, I don’t want you.”
“Oh, really?” Digging my fingers into her thighs, I crawl them underneath that skirt, “I bet you are wet.”
“No, I am not.”
“Really, Avyanna?” Moving an inch of a breath closer to her supple lips, my fingers find the elastic of her panties, and as I tangle them, I slowly edge them over that goddamn tight ass. “Fuck, tell me everything else is this tight.”
“Let me go, Kage…”
Ignoring her pleas, with one final drive, I shove her panties down her legs, “Only after I get what I want.” With one hand firmly digging into her flesh, I reach down, “Fuck, Avyanna.” I cannot help but growl in utter satisfaction as I pick the tiny piece of red lace from the floor, and announce, “You are not wet, you are fucking soaked.”
“Fuck you, Kage. It is not for you.”
“Really? Then tell me why…?” I slide my hands away from underneath her skirt, and trail a path up her belly, drawing slow agonizing circles, I scrunch my fingers in her blouse. “Then why are these…?” Stroking my thumb over her erect nipples, in near an instant I hear her breathing only but hitch, “Then tell me why are these so hard?”
“Kage…”
“Yes, Avyanna?”
“Fuck you.”
“As you desire,” with one flick of my hand, I loosen my buckle. Her eyes follow every single pop as I flip the buttons of my jeans open.
Then beyond her control, I watch her bite into that supple lip, and whimper, “What the fuck are you doing, Kage?”
“Giving you what you want.”
“Oh,” she cannot help but burst out in a rumble, then as her eyes lock with mine, she lets her warm breath linger against my lips, “After all these years, now you want to give me what I want?”
“The way I remember it, you got exactly what you wanted that night before you left.”
“Please refresh my memory, because I do not quite seem to recall things happening that way.”
Not needing a second invitation, my hands slide down her waist, and as I pierce my fingers into her tight flesh, I push her body up against the basin. Pinning her hands firmly against the taps, I spread her legs wide open. As she throws her head back in anticipation, I lay my tongue against the contours of her neck. Gently I bite into her soft skin.
“Kage…”
“Shut it, my little wolf. I know you have been dying to feel this way again.”
Scraping my teeth over her shoulder, I feel her body shudder, “Please, Kage, don’t”
“Oh, I am,” I pierce into her hot flesh. “Who is going to stop me?”
Yet she protests, “I am with Liam.”
“Not if I mark you right now,” Moving inches closer back to her neck, I nip and tease at her nape, “Then you are mine.”
“Kage, please, don’t.”
“It is going to happen Avyanna whether you like it or not.”
“Never!” She rips her hands from my grip, and back me into the door, then as she reaches behind, I feel her pluck it open. Reaching for Liam, that is now starting to stir, her eyes meet mine once again, “You had your chance, Kage and you blew it.”
“No, Avyanna, you fucked up.” Shoving her panties into my back pocket, I move around where she is trying to lift Liam from the floor. “But don’t think this is done, not by a long shot.”
With that, I leave her with nothing but one curse after the other coming from those sweet lips. She might be trying to fool herself, but she is not making me believe for one second that she does not feel that fire burning. She craves me just as much as this body fucking wants to devour hers.
Our kind of love never dies.
And she would be wise to remember that.
Yet I am a patient man, I have all the time in the world to get back what I had so foolishly pushed away…
That I made sure of.
Avyanna might think she is here for her mother, though she does not truly know the real reason behind her requested return to Jackson. And for the time being, it will remain that way. But one thing is for certain, this time I will not let her get away.
So, with one satisfied smirk, I join Slater and Niko back at our table. Slater only but gives me a raise of one questioning brow, “And what exactly did you do in the lady’s bathroom?”
I only but grunt at him in return, “Since when do I give you the run-by of whom I fuck behind closed doors?”
Niko watches as Avyanna comes walking from the very door that I had just come from, and with total disgust, he snaps in my direction, “Since it is Anna.”
Raising my voice for but a fraction, “I am only going to say this once, if I catch one of you laying a hand on Avyanna, then it will be the last thing you ever do.”
…NIKO POV…“You still believe that she belongs to you? To you and you alone?”I watch Kage as his eyes grow wide with rage, “You are damn fucking right about that. Now, do I need to repeat myself?”I cannot help but spit back at him in utter fury, “If you have not noticed, she is with someone else.”“And if you have forgotten, she is back in town because I wanted her to be here.”The mere thought of the lengths this man would go to get what he wants sets every emotion racing. He was the one that did everything in his power to get Anna out of town, and now, after all these years, he wants her back.Yes, Kage has come under fire for not having marked Anna when he had the chance, but what he has done now…It is fucking insane.Yet, he would be wise to remember that our dear Anna does not like to be told what to do and let alone be pushed into a corner.So, as I slowly rise from my chair, I give Kage a once-over, “You are playing a dangerous game. You think you lost her ten years ago, wai
…SLATER POV…Staring at Kage, still burning white-hot with fury, it brings back all those nights. Nights when I was so angry at him, and myself for the part we both played in chasing Avy away. The plan never was to get her to leave town, we were trying to teach her a lesson for playing us all.But Kage had a temper, and he felt betrayed.There was no way that he was going to let Avy make him look like a fool. So he pushed her as far as he could, so far that she eventually left.And it broke me.It splintered my heart into so many goddamn pieces, I could not find anything that would put it back together again.But now, she is back.And all those feelings, those emotions, they have been pulled from the grave that has been my heart.I know I should not.But I feel alive again for the first time in years.Though this thing with Kage and Niko, I need them to stop because if they don’t, it will push Avy away again. Yes, I am the last one that approves of what Kage did to get her here, but s
If my life was not a mess before, then it is now nothing but a fuck up. I have not been in this town for a goddamn hour and I have had all three Xavier brothers doing what they do best…Claiming what they think is theirs.And did I stop them?Not the least fucking bit.I need to get as far away from the three of them, but what my head tells me is not what my body wants. My body has done nothing but betray me with each encounter I have had. It seems that not only did these boys do some growing up, but the addiction they bring, has me craving them stronger than any drug.Stronger than ever before.With each whispered breath, they have by their heated touch set my body completely alight. I am so near damn close to exploding, if one of them edges their way over my lace panties, I might just erupt.Standing here with Slater as he pulls me back closer to him, there is nothing that I want more than to give in. Seeing him bulging in those skinny jeans, has me wanting the one thing that I cann
The very words send a chill to my spine.How can my father possibly be in trouble with the Xavier brothers?What I have learned only but an hour ago from Slater is that they own this pub. But my father is not a drinker and even less is my mother. The possibility of them causing trouble here is more like slim to nothing. So how has my father gotten himself mixed up with the brothers?Do I even want to know?Guess I will have to find out.So very reluctantly and shit scared to learn the truth, I push Olivia for the answers, “How is dad mixed up with the Xavier brothers?She only but stares at me, and from the terrified look on her face, she is not willing to go into detail. Judging from her reluctance, it must be bad.But still…How is the Xavier brother involved in this?I need to know what the fuck is going on here.“Olivia, if this is the reason you dragged my ass back home, then at least give me a fucking explanation.”“It… was…” I watch as she hesitates. Something has her spooked,
…KAGE POV…The way she is making my cock feel as she pouts those lips in utter frustration makes me want to pin her to that fucking couch and let my hands explore every inch of her body. The mere thought of how they will feel wrapped around my head is driving me crazy. The only desire consuming me is to taste every curve that is Avyanna Tate.I am trying to remain the level-headed businessman that I should be, but trying to remember the feeling of her bare naked skin far out ways any business I feel like discussing. The only thing that should be moving is our lips in perfect precision, and our bodies falling in harmony as I take her to the edge and drop her down into a pool of ecstasy.To think there was a time that I hated this woman, and now all I can think of is having her back between my sheets. Seeing that wet…“Wipe that stupid grin off your face and tell me what you want, Kage.”What do I want?You… Naked… Spread open… On that table…“Kage!”“Patience, Avyanna, we have all day.
“Is that a yes, Avyanna?”I watch him as the impatience seems to grow with each ticking second. This Kage is a far cry from the one I knew ten years ago. He is determined to get what it is that he wants. But my question begs, what is it exactly that he is trying to achieve with this seemingly innocent business proposal?One thing that will never change about this man…You cannot trust him.“What happens if I say no?”For a brief moment, I see his eyes grow wider than my fucking hoop earrings. Something gives me the idea that he believes that I will just give in without any question. I mean, how bad can my dad’s debt be?“How much does my dad owe you?”Throwing his head back, he bursts out in a fit of laughter again, “That little modeling salary of yours will not even make a dent in it.”“How much, Kage?”Standing from the couch, he walks over to his desk and continues to retrieve a blue folder. Then, as he comes back to take his seat again, he slowly slides it over to me. With rather
…KAGE POV…“Kage, please stop. Let him go.”I hear Avyanna’s voice echo over my shoulder. Pleading and begging, but what she is saying, I really do not know. She could be declaring her undying love, and I would not give a shit right now. My only purpose is to teach this fucking pig some manners.But the fool is looking up at me with a goddamn smirk on that pretty-boy face. Not only does it infuriate me, but that rage within me only grows. With my fist twisting firmly into his fake designer shirt, my voice rumbles like growing thunder, “You DO NOT touch Avyanna like that.”With his voice taunting, he dares to spit in mocking laughter, “Who the fuck do you think you are?”“I already told you, but it seems that you are so goddam thick that I am going to have to show you.”I show for Slater and Niko to grab him by the arms and lift him from the filthy pavement. Then, just as I am about to ball my hand into a fist, I feel Avyanna pulling me back, “Please, Kage. I told you I will do it.”I
Watching as Liam drives off, I won’t lie, but I feel a sense of relief. I knew that coming back home will complicate things, but I did not quite foresee it doing a complete one-eighty. If I must be honest with myself, I am glad to see him go. After all, I did not want him here to begin with as it is.But judging by the unspoken rage that has consumed him, I know that give him a day or two and he will be back to check up on me.Now how Kage will take that is yet to be seen. Though he already has this idea in his head that I belong to him.He has just taken my luggage and thrown it in the back of a ridiculously overpriced sports car. It seems that the Xavier brothers have more money than they know what to do with. I truly thought that he was just all big mouth about owning this town, but I think I might have slightly underestimated him.While he continues to load my belongings into the back of his car, I have Olivia standing in front of me with eyes that hold so much sorry it looks like
Watching the light of the moon fall through the tiny windows in the corner, the terrifying reality sets in that in little less than a couple of hours that bright ball will reach its apex and let its curse consume the earth.Unlike the power that Kage, Slater, and Niko have mastered, I still turn into an uncontrollable beast. But saying this, I am chained to this bed so there won’t be any danger of this beast letting loose between any of the innocent souls that are wandering town at this ungodly hour.Though I cannot say the same for Liam as I have never seen him turn, but his intention is quite clear, he wants to mark me and there will be no way he will be leaving this room until he has done the very thing.I need to get away from him before that even happens.Even though he is still severely hurt from the pain that Kage inflicted on him, I still do not think that I can take him on. And there is the little problem of his friends lurking outside there somewhere. If I can only get a sli
…KAGE POV…I am not a man that shows fear nor can you easily get me on the edge but take a man that has nothing to lose and all the determination in the world, and he sets a horrific fear to course through my veins.But what this man has also created for himself is a promise that once I set my hands on him, this time he will not walk away alive.We all have underestimated Liam.But that won't be a mistake that I will be making twice.My only problem now…Where the fuck do I find this man?Slater has put the word out on the street for any strange behavior that might cause an alarm, as where Nico is scouring each and every possible empty factory or building that there might be around.But there is a nagging feeling creeping up my bone that we are not even close to looking in the right places. I know this town like the back of my fucking hand, I would have known if there had been another pack making themselves far too comfortable in my territory. This leaves me to believe only one thing…
Laying in utter darkness, listening as the wheels slowly roll over the tar road, the only feeling that consumes me is utter fear. It is not so much being in the trunk of a car, but the fact that I am about to face a furious Liam. On his best days, his temper was a force that drove him to be the monster that I do know now he is.I would like to believe that he would go easy on me but I have not only embarrassed him but also lied to him about where I was staying. How I never knew that Liam was a werewolf is beyond me. I was too busy hiding my true identity from him that I did not notice that he had just as big of a secret.So as each ticking second passes by, I prepare myself to feel his full wrath that will come down on me. The fact that he not only once but on more than one occasion disregarded Kage’s threats tells me that he is a man that truly does not care what lengths he would go to. If getting rid of me is what he needs to do then I am sure he will do it with one damn big smile o
…KAGE POV…Driving to the pub where this Alpha has last been spotted, every nagging bone in my body tells me that I should not have left Avyanna all alone at home or at least have left either Slater or Niko with her. But the thing is that we do not know what we are up against, so I need both my brothers by my side when I confront this man.I am finding it strange that only a mere hour after teaching that scumbug Liam a lesson that his Alpha decides to stroll into my town. The agreement has been very clear with every single pack that they do not set foot into my territory. Him doing so has not only gone against the agreement but it is a clear declaration of war.The further question begs, is he alone or are there others that are just waiting around in the shadows? Whichever way, he is soon going to learn the error of his fatal mistake.So as we pull up at the back of the pub, I glance over to Slater and Niko, “You do nothing until I give the order. There are people behind those doors th
…KAGE POV… I think that I did not quite hear Slater clearly, “What did you just say?” Slater raises his voice but a fraction, “I said Liam is downstairs with his pack demanding for you to hand over Avyanna.” “Do you want to tell me that we failed to notice that Liam is a werewolf?” “The man was pretty convincing, but I suggest you come downstairs before they start ripping the place apart.” Glancing over my shoulder at Avyanna, I can see the clear disappointment and betrayal in her eyes. Sliding from underneath the covers, she starts to dress. Walking up to her, I wrap her hands in mine, “You are not going downstairs.” With a hint of anger in her voice, she makes her intention quite clear, “Liam is my problem.” Feeling slightly annoyed, my eyes pierce into hers. “What you fail to understand is that anything concerning you is my problem.” Slipping back into my jeans, I grab my shirt and head for the door. Just as I pull it open, Avyanna pushes past. I try calling after her, but s
…KAGE POV…If I for some fucked up reason did not care for upsetting Avyanna, I would have punched this smirk off this asshole’s face. Where in his warped universe would he ever accept what Avyanna is? I can see his bones trembling at the mere thought that things such as werewolves exist. The only reason this idiot is saying he is fine with it is because he cannot stomach the fact that he might lose her to me.Well, guess what?She is mine.I can see that longing in her eyes. It is not a longing for him, but for me. Avyanna knows deep down in the bottom of her heart and, dare I even say soul, that she wants me. She needs me. If there is anyone that knows what her body longs for, then it is me. Liam has been a means to an end, someone to fill that gap that I have left behind. But fuck, if she chooses him.It will shatter me.So with half a hand reaching out to her and a hand coming from that asshole at the very same time, I can barely breathe. I feel like slicing that idiot’s hand off
What is wrong with me?The second one of them gets lost in me, I submit without even thinking twice. Of all of them, Kage is the one that I would sell my soul to. Even though I am devoted to Liam, the instant that Kage merely touches me, I lose all sense of reality and desire takes over every fibre of that part of me that needs to be satisfied in a way that Liam never could. Kage used to set my body alight in a way that no man ever could, and being around him again has got me wanting to feel that way again.But I can’t. I am with Liam.And it is Liam that is lighting up my phone now.So taking a deep breath, and clearing my mind of everything that is Kage, I answer his call, “Hey babe.”“Fuck baby, I am missing you.” I can clearly hear the desperation in his voice as he takes a stuttered breath, “I need to see you.”“Babe, I will see you soon,” I say with the full knowledge that I have no idea when I will see him again, for I have no idea how long this arrangement with Kage i
…Kage POV…I knew that this was a bad idea.I knew trying to trap Avyanna in this deal would do me more harm than good.The fact is, and a piece of information that I will never reveal, but I could have easily written her father’s debt to me off. I have done it before, not only for him, but for many others. I might seem like a ruthless and cold-hearted bastard, but there is something about a man that is willing to lose it all just to protect his family that I respect.So yes, I grabbed onto the opportunity to get the only woman that I have ever loved back into my bed. I was a fool for letting her slip away from me all those years ago, and I will be damned if I let it happen now again. But the fact is, she hates everything that I stand for, and I hate her just as much for her betrayal that caused me to chase her away.Is it something that I ever will get over?Fuck knows, but all I know as I am standing here, and my eyes are scanning over every inch of that body, is that I am going to
Oh that is so not happening!Feeling as the rage slowly crawl over my skin, it takes me less than two giant strides and I have my hand firmly pressed into Kage’s shoulder and spinning him around, “What did you just say?”With nothing but a wicked smirk growing at the edges of those lips, he brings his mouth only inches away from mine, “I do not like repeating myself but taken that trembling lip is turning me the fuck on, I will say this once again.” Then as he brushes his lips over mine, I can feel him smile, “You will be staying with me for the next three months. And by with me, I mean in my room.”“That will not fucking happen. That was not part of the deal.”“Oh Avyanna, you should ask next time before you agree to do something.”“I don’t give a shit, Kage. I will not share a room and even moreover a bed for that matter.”Keeping my eyes locked with his, with his lips only inches away from mine, I can feel the heat starting to consume him. I am not sure if it is from the rage build
