Alecia rolled over and wrapped her arms around her waist as a chill swept over her body.
Fingers brushed her bare skin, leaving a trail of goosebumps. What had happened to the blankets and Ryder? The whole night, she had listened to his heartbeat thumping against her ear. She reached for the sheets, but grabbed something solid. A hand. She opened her eyes and smiled at Ryder who leaned over her. His damp hair was brushed back, making his eyes stand out. Those eyes had held so much compassion last night when she started to cry from the pain.
“What are you doing?” she asked.
“Just watching you sleep. You’re so beautiful.”
“Oh.” She looked down over her bare body. He must have pulled the sheets off of her. She sat up and pulled her knees to her chest, wrapping her arms around her legs.
“Close your eyes,” he said.
She closed them. Something cold encircled her neck and fell over her skin, maki

Alecia walked into her composition class wearing a smirk on her face. She looked around the room and spotted Helen sitting by herself, chewing on her eraser. This shouldn’t take long and then she could return to Ryder's apartment and wait for him to get done with his study session. She strolled to Helen's seat in the back, and sat next to her. Helen must be ignoring her, but Alecia focused on the back of her head.“What, Alecia?” Helen said, finally turning to her.“I just wanted to show you something.”She waited for Helen to respond, but the girl just glared at her.“I guess he’s not playing with me.” Alecia raised her hand and showed Helen the diamonds.“He gave you that?” Helen shouted, and everyone in the room turned to look at them.Alecia turned the ring to her face. “Yeah. He said he couldn’t imagine his life without me.” Alecia looked at her. “

Alecia kissed her family goodbye and rushed onto the plane, finding her seat in first class. The amethyst earrings Ryder had given her for Christmas dangled from her ears, matching the necklace that looped around her neck. Hopefully, he’d like the cute purple dress she had bought to accent the jewels. In her hands she held her other gifts: a Kindle packed with clean romance novels and a copy of a ticket to New York City, so she could meet his family.Alecia turned on the Kindle, tapped on a book that she had wanted to read for many months, but she rested it in her lap. Three days they had, and then two weeks before school started again. Soon, his lips would caress hers, his hands would run through her hair. Soon he would be all hers again.Alecia walked down the tarmac and stopped as a smile spread across her face. Ryder stood at the end holding one white rose. She flung her carry-on over her shoulder, and ran to him, throwing herself into his arms as he sp

Alecia stood at the edge of the tarmac, listening to Ryder profess his love for her again. She kissed his cheek before turning to get on the plane but he took her arm, stopping her, and then pulled a brown envelope from inside his coat pocket. “It’s for your dad,” he said.She opened it. Inside was a picture of President Richard speaking, written across the picture was, “Thanks for your dedicated support Mr. Bell. Can’t wait to meet you, Richard.”Alecia jumped into Ryder's embrace, wrapping her arms tightly around him. “My father is going to be so happy. I love you so much.”He kissed her on the head. “You better get going.”She turned from him and held his hand as she stepped through the tunnel, finally letting go at the last possible moment. Soon, she would be with him again, but now she couldn’t wait to see her father.Alecia stood in the doorway of her family’s den. Her fa

Alecia lay on her bed and reread the novel Ryder had bought for her. She smiled, feeling a warmness spread through her. As she remembered the day he had bought it for her. She loved him with a fierceness that hurt. It had been three days since she had last seen him and every part of her longed to be wrapped in his arms. How could love take complete control over someone?He had kept his word and called every night, and they would talk for hours, losing themselves in each other’s voices, planning their lives together. She set the book down and picked up another book she was reading. The vibrations of her phone interrupted her. She picked up her phone and answered. She smiled closing her eyes, waiting for his smooth voice to soothe her. “Hey.”“Hey, pretty thing,” Ryder said in an almost quiet voice.“Ryder?” She sat up, and brushed a tendril of hair from her fac

Alecia tried each day to forget Ryder, and sometimes it almost worked, sometimes it was useless to try to forget him. She thought of him every single minute of the day on those days. She thought of him whenever she saw a basketball, whenever anyone mentioned the word werewolf or Alpha, she thought of him when she heard anything that had to do with the president, or when Richard's name was mentioned. She thought of him each night before she fell asleep and every morning when she woke, and eact time she thought of him, she felt her heart break afresh into a thousand million pieces A new worry had begun to nag at her mind, her body was changing in several ways she could not understand. Her breasts got slightly bigger and felt more tender, and she had been unable to keep in her breakfast lately. She refused to think of the possibility of pregnancy, she couldn't be pregnant! Her parents did not yet know that she had bee

Ryder pulled up to the beach house raised in the air by concrete blocks. The light blue building almost blended into the clear sky line. The beach looked dead compared to the beaches of New York with its long boardwalks and various attractions. The only person on the street was an old man walking a black Lab. He parked under the house, stepped out of the car and took a long whiff of the salty air. At this moment he could go for some salt water taffy. Maybe Alecia and he could find some later. But he needed to win her back first.Two days ago he had gotten out of rehab, and after he’d let his father get a good look at him, he slipped away, flying straight to Raleigh. The Alpha protector's cold eyes and the snarl of his lips as he elaborated on why Ryder looked like a washed-up street urchin were still burned in his mind. And he had laughed at how Alecia had just tossed him to the side. But how could he keep her, if he couldn’t make her believe in the truth he wante

The secretary said hello to Ryder as he swept past her and made his way to his father’s office, but he just ignored her. He should have at least asked if his father was occupied, but if he lingered he probably wouldn’t go through with this. Let George Hendrix see that his son was scared of no one. He had proven her worth. She had not said one word about Sheila and he had showed that he could control her. All he had to do was play humble and she bent. His shoulders slumped and he stopped, hanging his head. He hadn’t done that. He had formed a lie in his head about working overtime in Moscow, but once he saw her light blue eyes full of compassion, the story just spilt out. How he wanted her to shower him with love and nurture. And she had.Ryder gripped the doorknob of his father’s office, feeling the sweat on his palm. Who was he kidding? The man would have him thrown out of his office and worse. A heat spread through him. He couldn’

Alecia looked up from her laptop when Ryder opened the door. Glancing at the clock, she noticed it was nine. Another late night and stressful one according to his furrowed brows. What did he do all day? Whenever she asked he would change the subject or say he didn’t want to talk about it. It probably wasn’t much. He had told her that usually lawyers spent their first year being overpaid paralegals. She closed her laptop. She would finish the short story tomorrow.He didn’t go to the kitchen to grab the dinner she had prepared, but just sat down next to her on the couch, leaning his head back and closing his eyes. Every part of him looked tense.“Tough day?”He didn’t answer, but opened his eyes and looked out into the distance. She needed to distract him. He wouldn’t be interested in her little love story but maybe school. “I got the schedule I wanted.”“Anything interesting?”“Yeah, I&r
