ADRIANA“He’s marked and mated! He will whip your ass even if you are considered Sebastian’s rival, plus he’s younger!” I growl.Zade smirks. “I kinda forget these men are getting old.”Atticus raises an eyebrow. “Age is a number. It all depends on how you take care of yourself. Plus, I don’t need t
Atticus is thrown back, the sound of tearing fills the air, and Zade is left holding his shirt.Damn…I almost get up to check on Atticus but he’s already up, sweat trickling down that drool-worthy body, his brown locks fall in front of his eyes, and he shakes his head to get them off his face, wipi
“Can you both just fucking stop?” I growl, dropping my hands, very aware of a certain thumping heart beneath my fingers. “Enough.”“What on earth is this? You said it was just a light match, Zade!” Valerie hisses.And you believed that? I think, but don’t say anything.“We’re fine, Valerie,” Atticus
ATTICUSHer fingers brush down my abdomen tantalisingly, the intense tingles of her touch making pleasure dance through me. A dangerous temptation drawing me in like an intoxicating drug. Each moment around her entices me, binding me. This is the power of the bond and when it promises such pleasure…
(FLASHBACK)I look up when she appears, her eyes hard. “What is it?”“I had a request,” I say quietly. It’s the following day after Mom’s wedding and last night her remark about wishing she could see my children made me come up with a sudden idea.Sure, it’s not perfect, but it would bring Mom great
Somehow, that’s sexy.“Adriana. What a beautiful name. Atticus and Adriana. Bless your souls,” Mom whispers, smiling softly, silent tears streaming down her cheek. Her voice pulls me from my trance.“Mrs-”“Mom, please call me Mom, dear. I won’t have this formality.”“M-mom…”“Atticus, open that top
ADRIANAThere’s something about a man going from relaxed to assertive and commanding that I damn love and when it’s this asshole, it’s even hotter. There’s a dominance in those steel-grey eyes that are now burning into mine.“Even if you don’t say anything, your beating heart conveys more than enoug
Talk yourself out of this one girl.I actually want to fucking see how I manage this one.Breathing deeply, I try to calm myself.I still. For a moment allowing myself to enjoy the embrace, which feels so… safe. I’ve never felt this safe in my life. From the very first day that Gerard took my hand a
“So where is she now?” Xander asks, and I glance at him.“Under my watch, until I get an answer regarding that attack,” I answer quietly as a woman from the stage crawls to the edge, giving Xander an up-close view of her breasts. He leans forward, placing a few hundred-dollar bills in her between he
~ ZION ~The women clad in risque lingerie twirl around the poles, their shimmering bodies illuminated by the purple and pink lighting of the strip club.I don’t spare them more than a glance, my eyes roaming instead over the seated men - searching for the one I’m here for. It doesn’t take long to f
I hear footsteps and wipe my eyes furiously and take a deep breath, refusing to let him see how I feel. He steps into the room, hands in pocket, carrying an arrogance as he looks me over.“I have questions.”“You kidnapped me!” I snarl.“You’re not a kid. Sit down.”“I don’t listen to-”The next thi
~ MILENA ~The bullet pierces through his chest and I gasp, my heart shattering as I watch the blood drip down his white shirt. It hurts, so fucking much. Not that I shot him, not that I know he could have dodged it if he had moved, but it’s the shock in those bright blue eyes when he realised I sho
Staring back at me in photo after photo is none other than the man I love, the man I have lived with for nearly a year. The man who killed my brother.One and the very same.“No… NO!” I scream, kicking the photos away from me. Is this a sick joke? I jump out of bed, rush to the bathroom and manage t
~ MILENA ~My eyes open, my vision blurry. I rub my eyes. I know I’m in a bed. It feels familiar, and for a moment I wonder if I’m back at my place but… my bed isn’t this large or comfortable.I sit up and look around, my heart hammering as realisation settles in. I know why it feels so… homely.Thi
“Excuse me, sir, she’ll be free to go tomorrow. But she will need to take some blood thinners and some pain relief tablets for the next two weeks.”I nod. I didn’t tell them I didn’t know her… after all, my questions are pending and she has the answers.This was not how I was expecting my night to e
~ ZION ~Not this time.I raise my gun, pressing it to her forehead roughly. She stumbles backwards trying to put space between us, but with her injured leg she’s not as slick and I almost reach out to steady her, then remind myself who she is.She is one of them.And she’s here for a reason.Do the
My heart skips a beat.He’s always been clever, but the conviction with how he said that one sentence… as if he was completely certain. But I’m not going to admit that.I chuckle humourlessly. “And why would you think I was the one who was behind that?”“You don’t wear a seatbelt, Milena. You were w
