He broke the kiss and slowly moved downwards from my neck, ensuring that not a single area was left untouched by his lips. I squirmed, but one of his hands pinned me down, while the other slowly inched towards my thigh. “Roman,” I rasped. “W-wait-” He paused, raising his head from the crook of my neck. “Yes?”“Why-” I took in a deep breath. “Why are you doing this all of a sudden? You haven't talked to me in a while, so why-” “I missed this,” he responded. “Is that enough for an answer?” I gulped, noting the change in his voice. He didn't want to speak further. I nodded slowly. “Can we continue?”I nodded again and let out a gasp when his fingers finally entered my core. “You'd do well to quieten now,” he murmured, resuming his descent with his lips from the crook of my neck. But I didn't - couldn't obey that, not with the pleasure his fingers were causing my body.“Fuck, baby,” he groaned. “You feel so good.” Then he increased his rhythm, and I felt so close to exploding, like
It'd taken everything I'd had not to do more to Audrey in the morning, but it had been even harder to act so nonchalant about it. I was still wound up, and though the plan was to relax and free myself up in her arms, it'd been virtually impossible because I found myself thinking of how many men had done that. It was a stupid thought, I knew, but I couldn't help my line of thought. I couldn't help anything when it came to her. I groaned, tracing circles on the side of my head with three fingers. “Oh, fuck it.” I just had to get through this period with my mind intact. How I was going to do that, I had no idea, but I had to. I so terribly had to. I threw myself into work for the entire day, luckily not receiving any calls from anyone. For a moment it seemed the goddess was on my side.That was, of course, until I heard Audrey's laugh from her room window while I approached my house later that day. I'd stilled, mesmerized. The sound of her laugh never failed to amaze me. The richn
“We're not coming closer till we're done talking. Oh, and-” she pulled away the robe from her shoulder, revealing more skin and a bit more of her left breast. I swallowed. “For every discussion we conclude, I'll take this robe off my body by a bit. Till it all falls off.” Her gaze drew me in like a moth to a flame. “Meaning we have two more discussions.” Two more? I lifted a brow. If she dropped the robe off the other shoulder- oh. She'd tied the belt.Sneaky woman. Beautiful, sexy sneaky woman.I nodded, trying to ignore the fact that more blood had flown into my dick. “Whatever you wish, babe.”There was a surprised look in her face at the endearment, but she smiled, and I knew she'd loved it. “The next one is about the night you stormed off.”“You'd been with Jacob,” I breathed, my gaze zeroing in on the part of her chest that was exposed. I wanted to bury myself in them.“My eyes are up here, Roman,” she said, a hint of amusement coating her words. “And I'm sorry if that hurt yo
Audrey POV:He hadn't wanted me just for self relief. I'd been scrolling through the internet in the afternoon, not wanting to get out of bed anymore. It was doom scrolling, but I didn't care. I was sad, and thoughts of me merely being Roman's fuck buddy ran through my head again and again, so I needed a distraction.That was when I stumbled on a post tagged as “Odd Things To Do To Be Sure Your Partner Doesn't Want You For Just Your Body”. It'd sounds like a bunch of nonsense at first, but there was a part of me that craved answers, so I'd gone through it till the very end, and decided to use the method that stood out to me. Roman's responses, mannerisms, and every other thing he'd done almost completely matched the responses and character of the person who didn't just want their partner for their body. It wasn't surprising that I immediately fell head over heels for him again, and the moment he told me what he wanted, I did it without hesitation.I watched in anticipation as his ey
He was back on his knees, and my hands were back on his hair. His mouth was also back on my pussy, and my mouth?To be honest, I didn't know the sounds it was making. But I knew the owner of the tongue punishing me down there was very pleased with them, so I didn't hold back. “That's it, Audrey,” he murmured after I'd orgasmed for the fifth time. “Don't hold back.”It seemed a bit embarrassing to me that I was so easy to stimulate, but he'd told me that it was perfectly fine, and that he was even proud to be the one to elicit such responses. So he did it again. and again, and again, till hours had passed and we'd moved from the wall to my bed.This time, his mouth was on my breast, and I was begging him not to stop. He'd resorted to moving against me while his mouth sucked my breast, and the feel of his bulge moving against me was doing things to my body. But we'd decided. Tomorrow.I was going to be so impatient. I gasped when he pulled my nipple slightly with his teeth, just as h
“Now,” he said, and his voice had taken a lower tone. “You're going to want to swirl around my tip with your tongue. Like it's ice cream.” He took in a breath when I obeyed. “Perfect. Now, go further than my tip. You can kiss it if you want. Touch everywhere with your tongue, and-” He groaned and closed his eyes briefly. “Yes. Just like that. From then- fuck.” I'd placed my mouth over his cock, and was now moving rhythmically, my tongue occasionally swirling around it. He grunted, his eyes now shut tight, and placed a hand in my hair, guiding my movements and letting out groans all the way, his cursing getting more colorful by the moment.Wetness pooled between my legs, and I shuffled them together, ensuring he was enjoying himself. And it seemed he was, because after a while, he grunted heavily, his breathing became even more labored, and he was guiding my mouth to go faster than before. We kept at it till a stream of fluid entered my mouth, and his eyes opened, staring directly
“You forget who you're talking to, Allison,” he suddenly said, calling me by my middle name. In spite of the amusement in his tone, there was ice in his gaze. “Do you think you can use me like the fools you've used all these years?”“I don't know what you-”“Listen, darling.” His tone had gone dark. “I'm immune to your rubbish. In fact, the only reason you're still alive right now is because I'm taking pity on you. I could have placed something in your wine glass when I went to get it or slammed something into the back of your head while you were focusing on the decorations. I could have snapped your neck the first time you came here or when I saw you at the door.”“You-” “Just because you're my mate doesn't mean you deserve to exist before me, bitch.” His irises were glowing, an odd shade of purple. “I can kill you this very moment and watch a movie the next minute, soiling my feet with your blood. Do not for once think you're worth something to me, Tanya. You're a means to an end.”
Everything about her figure was beautiful, though she didn't think so, seeing as she'd been apparently insulted about it by Diane, Tanya, and some other fools in her life.I wanted to protect her from every enemy, and at the same time I wanted her to shine before each of them, rubbing it in their faces how awesome she was. But I'd slept with Gertrude, even going as far as getting her pregnant. Could I say I loved her, then? “You're spacing out again,” her voice entered my mind. “What's going on, Roman?” “I'm just…thinking.” I sighed, moving so I could kiss her mouth. “It's nothing, baby. I promise.”“Is it about the rogues?” Her voice held worry. “I heard that things are really bad right now.”It wasn't just about the rogues, but she didn't need to know that. “Things are bad right now,” I breathed, placing my hand on her ass and squeezing lightly. “But don't bother yourself, I can-” “Is there anything I can do to help?” I sighed. She was relentless. “Just be with me, Audrey.
Audrey POV:Paul tensed beside me when he saw the look as well, but I knew it was a defense mechanism, not because he wanted to fight Jacob. As Gamma, Jacob was leader of the Guard, and there was no way Paul would strike him unless Jacob attempted to hit me first. Which, from the look in his eyes, seemed very much likely. However, I was sure he wouldn't do that. Right from time, Jake preferred to talk things over than use his fists. That knowledge gave me the courage to continue approaching him as he sat on a stone watching his soldiers train. “Jake.”He glared at me, then turned back to his trainees. “What are you doing here?” We were attracting a bit of attention. I almost panicked. “I need to talk to you. Please.” He didn't look at me, and I saw the slight tense in his shoulders before he spoke. “Where's your mate?” The bitter tone of his voice indicated he wasn't asking out of excitement, but out of anger. I was taken aback. Why was he asking about Roman? “I-” I paused, cleari
“He's dangerous,” she said, her voice wavering. “How the hell did you get roped with him?”She knew him. Great Luna. They knew each other. I was about to speak when Marvin pulled me closer to him, and briefly sighted a grin on his face. “Well, there was a bit of back and forth in the beginning, Diane. But the most important information is that we're mates now.” He pecked the side of my head, and I hated the butterflies that erupted in my stomach as a result of his action. “Meaning we’re in-laws. Isn't that wonderful?”My mother's response to his question was to collapse. ♠︎♠︎♠︎♠︎Audrey POV:Roman was suspicious. I knew that much from the expression he'd given me three nights before when I returned from the bathroom. It'd been on his face for just a second, but I'd seen it clearly, and it'd registered in my mind before he switched to a neutral look. And ever since the following morning, we hadn't slept in the same bed, nor had he come looking for me. It was obvious he had his rese
Tanya POV:Marvin hadn't called yet. I stared at my phone, wondering when he would. After he smacked Audrey into unconsciousness, he told me to stay put and not do anything till he returned to visit or called me. I'd obeyed, of course, but it was noon, and I hadn't seen either hide or tail of him. It wasn't like I was worried for him. I just didn't want him to find himself in trouble because that would put a major damp on his plans. And his plans included me, so I would be suffering by association. I didn't want that. Especially now that I was the town's joke. I sighed, placing my phone screen down beside me and staring up at my ceiling. It hadn't been up to four months since Audrey arrived, yet she'd turned so many things upside down. I'd gone from being the most envied to the most joked about, from the most beautiful to the most idiotic, and from the beloved Tanya Hill to the Hill brat. Mother had started ignoring me, too, going for long days without exactly saying where she was
Roman POV:Marvin’s forehead was wrinkled when I finished describing the events Julian and I had gone through, and his lips were pursed together. When they were finally separated, it was to let out a breath. “Well, that sucks.”It did suck. Apart from the incident where we’d found that Gertrude was in cahoots with some Crimson Wolves’ worker, Margrave wanting me to give up Audrey for a shaky alliance had continually echoed in my mind, and I was beyond annoyed about it, even if a part of me had begun to doubt my mate's credibility. I adored her with all of me, but who was to say she wasn't- ‘No, Roman,’ I told myself, stalling the buildup of such thoughts in my mind. I had to hold off on my assumptions. ‘Stop that. Audrey wouldn’t do that to you.’ Or would she? “Well, I have the perfect solution to end at least half of the problems.”I looked at my stepbrother, who had a mischievous smile on his face. I didn’t need to think twice to know that whatever he'd cooked up was something cri
Roman POV:I stared at my mate while she struggled to explain. A similar occurrence happened when we first met, and she'd begged for innocence. I'd been on edge during that period, and I was not in the mood to accept whatever she had to say. Thus, I'd been very eager to toss her into prison, though that wasn't the best move at that moment. My brow furrowed as I realized the case was never really solved. We'd seen a note with her, I'd had her arrested…but that was it. I hadn't investigated further into the situation after her brush with death. I'd been too afraid to lose her. As I watched her stutter and fall over her words, I wondered if that hadn't been a mistake. What if she actually was in liaise with the Crimson Wolves? Or the rogues, at least? She carried the Gatrix-Hill blood, after all; there was nothing stopping her from being in cahoots with her father's networks. Her father's networks. My eyebrow twitched. But Audrey obviously didn't see that action, because she kept
Audrey POV:The guards stood at attention the moment they saw their Alpha emerge, and I felt so much relief at the presence of my mate that I didn't hesitate to go into his arms, not even when his brooding Beta came out of the car as well. Roman squeezed me so tight it seemed as though he never wanted to let me go, and I reveled in the feeling of his arms around me, wanting to freeze time at that moment. But there were more important things. “What happened here?” the Beta asked, his brows furrowed. “Why is this woman outside?”I tried to step out of Roman's arms, but his arms tightened around me. “Don't go,” he whispered. I resisted the urge to chuckle and obeyed. “Well?” my mate said out loud, his eyes dark as he looked at the pack guards. “Talk. Anyone of you. Why is my mate outside?” The guards seemed to remember themselves and flew to open the gates, before baring their neck in obeisance. “Alpha.”Roman scowled. “I didn't ask for a greeting. I asked for a goddamn explanation.
Roman POV:It was in the middle of the night. Julian and I had found it difficult to sleep, and we'd stayed awake for a long time discussing the next course of action as regards the revelation about Gertrude and her Crimson Wolves lover. An hour before we heard the scratching sounds, we'd finally drawn a plan up. Thus we’d retired to bed, but my eyes opened when I heard the sounds. A second later, Julian had sat up. “Do you hear that?” he mouthed to me, and I nodded, my eyes trained on the door. Someone was trying to get in, but not by kicking the door open. The person wanted to come in quietly. I heard whispers and narrowed my eyes. Not a person. Persons. That meant a group of people wanted to sneak into the room. In such a situation, especially in a place like Roguemania, it meant they didn't have good intent. They wanted to cause us harm. Most likely kill us. Julian looked at me with a questioning glance, asking if he should go ahead and kill them immediately. But I shook my h
Audrey POV:I shivered from the coolness of the place I’d been caged in, completely unaware about the goings on of the outside world. Jacob and Derek hadn't replied my other fear-filled questions when I'd awoken, and at a point Jacob had snapped at me to shut up, with certain backstories on when his hatred for me began. I almost could not believe it. Jacob, my close friend, had kidnapped and regarded me as some annoying fly he'd had to put up with. I was finding it hard to accept that he and Tanya had planned the entire ruse. How could he have done that to me? He'd been brazen enough to destroy my trust in him without a trace of remorse. We'd grown up together, for crying out loud. He was my best friend! He'd changed so much, that I knew when I returned. He'd become the Gamma, and though he tried to be normal with me, I could feel it. He was different. Perhaps I'd changed too, but that hadn't stopped me from being his genuine friend. I loved him just as I'd loved him before I fled
Roman POV:The last time I’d seen Gertrude was about two weeks ago, when she'd been brought to my office from her place of temporary confinement so we could discuss the terms of co-parenting, after which the guards had returned her to the quarters.And now she'd appeared in a place I'd never have dreamed of seeing her in. Julian had a frown on his face. “What's she doing here?” I had the very same question. But we knew we would not get our answer by standing in the street, so we followed her quietly, ensuring she would not be able to see us. Due to the training we'd received as spies, this was terribly easy, also considering the fact that she was an amateur at sneaking about. Finally she turned into the back of a rundown bar, and I frowned when I sighted another figure behind the said bar. Another look confirmed that it was a male, and when she threw her arms around him, my eyes narrowed. Well, she'd drugged me to sleep with me and get pregnant. Had I really expected that I'd be
