Aria The party is a Christmas wonderland. Lights twinkle everywhere, and tall Christmas trees tower like something straight out of a fantasy movie. Cruise parties always go all out, but this? This is next-level magic. I pause to take it all in, then scan the room for Mia and Lily. Nowhere in sight.
“Okay, okay, stop!” I laugh, feeling dizzy. “My eyes are crossing here.” “Let me help you.” He chuckles, steadying me before leading me to a nearby chair. I plop down with a sigh of relief…until the chair collapses beneath me. I hit the floor with a thud, my dignity shattering into a million piece
Aria Lucas has me slung over his shoulder like I’m some kind of sack of potatoes, and I’m flailing like a lunatic. “Let me go, you overgrown brute! Put me down!” I’m yelling, but he just keeps walking like he doesn’t hear a word I’m saying. We finally reach the game room, which is thankfully empty
I snort. “How, exactly?” “I’ll help you. We’ll train together.” That makes me laugh, my hand flying up to cover my mouth. “Train? Come on, I’m no warrior.” He smirks, leaning back confidently. “Have you forgotten I’m an alpha? I train warriors, Aria. It’s what I do.” I roll my eyes but nod reluc
Aria By the time we pull away from the kiss, my heart’s thumping so hard I swear it’s trying to break out of my chest. My whole body? Yeah, it’s officially on fire. Desire is a bitch like that. “That was… lovely,” Lucas murmurs, brushing a strand of hair out of my face smoothly. “You’re so fuckin
Before I can even process, his hands are on me, cupping my breasts and kneading them like he owns me. A loud moan escapes my lips as my body trembles under his touch. “You like that, don’t you?” His smirk is so damn cocky it should piss me off, but it only makes me want him more. “You like it when
Aria "Aria... if you're not ready—" "I'm ready," I cut him off firmly. "I mean, it's been days since we found out we're mates. Soon it's going to hurt if we don't mark each other." The second I tell Lucas I’m ready, something changes in his eyes. His gray gaze darkens, flickering with something
Aria “Come on,” he says, scooping me up bridal style. “Let’s go shower.” And let’s just say the shower is far from innocent. We end up going another round before finally cleaning up. Back in the room, wrapped in towels, I grab my ruined dress with a sigh. No way I can wear this again. A knock at
"And probably gunning for your heart too," Mia smirks. I snort. "Yeah, right." "Come on, Aria," she drags out my name like she’s personally offended by my denial. "You really think all those flowers were just friendly? The guy wants more. Lucas sees it. That’s why he stepped up and took you on a
Aria I manage to drag my ass to campus before noon, but damn, my body is wrecked. Yesterday was fucking great…I had the time of my life with Lucas…but holy hell, my bones feel like they got hit by a truck. I’m definitely walking funny, and I know people are staring. And, honestly? I don’t blame
Lucas The second I step into Sarita’s apartment, I don’t even make it past the couch…I just collapse onto it, completely fucking exhausted. She chuckles, settling into the chair across from me, her eyes practically dancing with amusement. "Damn, you look like you got run over by a truck." I g
"Lucas, please…" I whimper, already desperate. "No," he says. "This is perfect. I love how fucking desperate you are, how tight you get every time I slide in." I squeeze my eyes shut, biting my lip to keep from begging too soon. He’s got me right where he wants me…helpless, bound, at his mercy.
Aria It’s been over thirty fucking minutes. The vibrator is still buried deep inside me, buzzing mercilessly against my soaked pussy. My entire body is trembling, my breathing ragged. My thighs quiver, and I swear I can feel every nerve in my body screaming for relief. I’m losing my fucking m
I ache for him. I drip for him. And then he speaks. "If you really want my cock, Aria…" He peels off his jacket, his voice turning firm. "You’re gonna have to earn it." "What the fuck?" Lucas smirks, unbuttoning his shirt. "Get down on your knees." My pussy clenches so fucking hard I almost co
Aria We take the stairs, and Lucas stops in front of a door, punching in a code quickly. The lock beeps, the door swings open, and then he turns to me with that cocky-ass smirk. "After you, baby." He gestures inside. I inhale deeply, trying to keep my legs from giving out beneath me. I need him,
Aria Lucas doesn’t even acknowledge the man…just walks straight ahead, leading me to a table. He pulls out a chair for me. "Sit, baby." My heart flutters. He’s being such a fucking gentleman, and it’s wrecking me. "Thank you, baby." I sit, and he takes his seat across from me, picking up the
Aria Butterflies swim in my stomach as I pull a glistening silver gown from the bag. My mouth fucking drops open. "Holy shit." I run my fingers over the fabric, eyes wide. "This is so fucking beautiful." Lucas smirks, arms crossed, clearly pleased with himself. "Glad you love it, baby. Look i
