Damon sighs, squeezing my shoulder. "We’re just glad you’re okay." I nod, but deep down, I know I’m not okay. Not when Lucas looks at me like I’m a stranger. Not when every word he speaks feels like a dagger to my chest. Not when I know…know that I did this to him. I'm glad you're okay too. I was
Aria Lucas doesn’t even blink. "Well, I don’t have anything to say to you, so get the fuck out." He starts to shut the door, but I throw my hand out, stopping it. "Are you seriously not gonna give me a chance? Don’t you wanna know what I’ve been up to all this time?" My voice comes out frantic, d
Aria "Are you done?" Lucas calls from the other side of the door. "Uh, yeah... I—I don’t have... my clothes are wet," I mumble, stepping out hesitantly. His gaze flicks over me before he tosses a large T-shirt my way. "Here." "Thanks." I clutch it like it's a damn lifeline and slip it on over t
Aria I shift a little, still half-asleep, when my hand lands on something hard… and warm. And holy hell…the scent. That intoxicating, musky, Lucas smell that makes my knees weak every damn time. My eyes flutter open, and there he is, smiling down at me like some Greek god. “You’re finally awake,”
“Damn right.” I smile, my fingers trailing over his bare chest. “Just us.” And hell, I’m not complaining. …… “So, you guys are actually going on a fucking New Year’s cruise?” Damon mutters, raising a brow as he looks between me and Lucas like we’ve grown two heads. “Yup,” Lucas grins, all proud
Aria I can’t fucking believe it’s almost New Year. I wrap my arms around Lucas’s neck, resting my forehead against his. “This trip went by way too fast,” I breathe out, the cool ocean breeze brushing against my skin. We’re out on the ship’s deck, way past midnight. Christmas lights are strung eve
**Before Christmas And New Year** Mia We’re finally here…Damon’s family house. And by house, I mean giant-ass mansion. Seriously, this place is straight out of a movie. It’s tucked away inside Alpha Marcus’s private estate, right in the middle of the Shadow Pang pack territory. Damon’s family i
She grins and winks at me before we disappear up the massive staircase. We finally reach Damon’s room, and without even thinking, I kick off my shoes and launch myself onto his bed. “Ahhh!” I stretch out, sprawling across the mattress like I own the place. “Goddess, I love this bed.” Damon chuck
Aria School’s almost over, and Lucas is still a no-show. To make things worse, he’s completely ghosted the mind-link. The only thing he managed to do was send a half-assed text saying he’d “probably” be home late. Probably? Seriously? What the fuck is his problem today? Annoyed, I grab my bag and
"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
