LOGANI looked over the schedule for the thousandth time to make sure everything was in place.The itinerary for an entire day of dates with Scarlett was staring back at me as I nervously paced from one end of my office to another. I hoped that everything would be to her taste and that we’d find something meaningful to bond over.But first, I had to figure out how to ask her out on a date without scaring her off.“Scarlett, would you do me the honor of….” I groaned, pressing a palm against my face as I realized how overly formal that was.“Uh, hey there,” I wore on a practiced smile, “how about an entire day of dates together this weekend? You down?”I cringed at the poor delivery and the fact that it seemed nonchalant and lacking in the enthusiasm that I’d have loved it to convey.“If you’re free tomorrow, how about we spend the day together?” I sighed, unsure what was still missing asides how I was stuttering like an idiot.“Scarlett, can we maybe sp—”“A simple ‘wanna hang?’ text w
SCARLETTI knew he wanted to, what I couldn’t figure out was why he hadn’t.“Fuck me, Logan,” I vocally encouraged him, hoping that it would be enough to show him that I wanted it just as much as he did.Surprisingly, he shook his head at me while smiling, then pressed a chaste kiss to my forehead before spinning me so my back was facing him. That made me expectant, that the next thing that would follow would be my dress being pushed up before he filled and stretched me.“We can’t,” his response shocked me as he undid my zip, “I’m just going to help you into your dress so we can get out of here,” he added instead of offering a proper explanation.Stung by his rejection, I turned to face him and demanded a viable reason, “We can’t? What does that even mean?”He cupped my face with one hand and grabbed my other hand before placing it over his still rock hard erection. My fingers were itching to reach into his pants and let it spring free, but I held because it seemed like he was trying
SCARLETTMy heart was in my throat, beating erratically as Hyacinth, the family’s sorceress examined Logan’s unconscious body closely.Alex equally looked unsettled, pacing back and forth with worry lines etched into his forehead as we patiently waited for Hyacinth’s feedback on the matter. It was somewhat soothing to have someone who shared in my worry, but I couldn’t appreciate it enough when Logan’s absence was causing the mate bond to stir dread in the pit of my stomach.Finally, Hyacinth moved away from him and cleared her throat, causing mine and Alex’s ears to peak with curiosity.“Yes? What’s wrong with him?” Alex beat me to the question when she stayed silent for a hot minute.“Whatever was shot into his system was poisonous, and if it was just any type of poison, I’d have whipped up a potion and fed it to him and he’d be hale and hearty in a minute,” she had a dreadful expression that worsened my fears.“But?” I urged, eager to get to the crust of the matter.“But this poiso
SCARLETTThe car ride home with Alex and Logan was quiet, disturbingly so.When we finally arrived, even the house seemed eerily quiet, as though another dreadful experience was awaiting me, hanging in the air.“I’ll head in first, goodnight,” Alex threw a little salute and hopped out of the car first, then speed walked into the house like he was desperately trying to leave the awkwardness behind.I made a mental note to thank him for his support and the comfort he’d provided tonight as u watched him go. I wonder how much more of a mess I’d have been if he wasn't there with me, he was my knight in shining armor as long as tonight was concerned.“After you, milady,” Logan reached around me and opened the door, a small smile playing on his enticing lips.I walked out, enjoying the midnight breeze that sifted through my hair as Logan took my hand and began to lead us towards the house.“Today was really an adventure, huh?” I laughed as I looked down at my bloodstained dinner dress, espec
SCARLETTDespite the constant attention and affection I was getting from the older Vaughn brothers, I was bothered by the lack thereof from the youngest.Blake hadn't picked my calls or responded to my texts in days and whenever I was home, he was always out. He wasn't even sleeping at home so I couldn't ambush him at night, but the fact that I picked up the faint hint of his scent every now and then was proof that he was popping in and out.The Blake I knew and had come to cherish would always keep me updated, he’d never fail to stop by my room and tell me how long he’ll be out and when to expect him, so it became glaring that he was avoiding me and it unsettled me.Had he grown bored of me? Had he realized what a smoking hot catch he was and moved on to another woman? Had he become weary of contesting for my affection with his brothers when he could just find better elsewhere?Call me greedy, selfish, conceited, or whatever word described my endless pining for all three Vaughn broth
BLAKEThat cocky motherfucker, Lucas Shahato. How dare he?Ever since he gave me another week’s extension to deliver Scarlett to our pack, he’s been breathing down my neck in passive aggressive ways that were driving me crazy. He had men tailing me every second of the day, so I had no choice but to keep Scarlett at arm’s length to protect her.I knew fully well that the failsafe plan if I didn’t succeed was to ambush and kidnap her, and I worried that if she was around me as often as usual, they’d take matters into their own hands and proceed with plan B.It sickened me to imagine the traumatic experiences she’d have to endure if she was forced to pass through a blood moon ritual, one that put her life at risk if she bled out before the ritual’s completion.I would immediately follow her to the grave if she suffered such inhumane treatment because I lured her in with a web of lies, and for the rest of the afterlife, I’d be a slave at her mercy to earn her forgiveness.That was a lesse
SCARLETT“I love what you’ve done with the place,” I looked around in awe, noticing the warm tones that replaced the off white theme of Blake’s living room.“You mentioned preferring warmer tones while we were flipping through an IKEA magazine weeks ago so I wanted to make this place feel more like home,” he answered thoughtfully, but it bothered me that his eyes were anywhere but on me.That had been going on while we drove here as well, he kept his eyes on the road and kept acting nervous and antsy.“That’s really sweet, baby, but your presence made it feel like home every single time I’ve been here,” I flashed him a sweet smile that he didn’t catch because he still wasn’t looking my way.He moved around the living room awkwardly before opening his mouth to respond, “I lo—”“Nah,” I cut in, “I can’t take a word that leaves your lips seriously unless you tell me why you’ve acting all since we left home,” I marched towards him as I spoke.The moment I reached him, I grabbed both sides
SCARLETTTheir shocked expressions contradicted their visible erections in those beach shorts.As for me, I was reveling in the ego boost of having two insanely attractive and bulkily built men at the tip of my fingers to tease as I pleased. I’d long discarded the plans to go skinny dipping from the second my strip tease started to stir a heated desire between myself and them.Now, I needed nothing more than to be fucked into a blinding orgasm. By both men.It seemed like they shared the same need, but they were too chicken to embrace it. The massive erections stating back at me were making my mouth water, and I tried to encourage them to come to me by seductively fondling my nipples while juggling holding eye contact with each man.Soon enough, they both seemed like the restraint they were exercising was causing them physical pain. Blake was constantly shifting, adjusting his shorts and shuffling his feet in the sand as of he needed to plant them there else he’d pounce on me—but that
