Delia navigated her way through the winding roads of St. John in her new Yellow Mini convertible. The wind tousled her hair as she made her way towards town, where Nate's office was located.

Arriving at the sleek and modern building, Delia parked her car on the side of the street and walked confidently towards the entrance. The receptionist greeted her with a warm smile and buzzed her into Nate's office without any delay.

Stepping inside, Delia was immediately enveloped in Nate's welcoming embrace. His touch was familiar, yet Delia couldn't shake the feeling of unease that settled in the pit of her stomach.

“Delia, darling, thanks for coming by," Nate said, his voice smooth and charming as ever. He gently tucked a loose strand of hair behind her ear before gesturing for her to take a seat.

“No problem, Nate," Delia replied with a polite smile, trying to ignore the flutter of discomfort in her chest. As Delia settled into the chair, Nate moved behind

    The engines of both vehicles came to a halt as Delia's yellow Mini and Rafe's black Defender rolled into the driveway of Rafe's mansion almost simultaneously. Rafe immediately swung open the door of his car and was by Delia's side in an instant as she emerged from her vehicle. A warm smile graced his lips as he pulled her close, his touch sending warm tingles through her body. Before she could utter a word, his lips found hers in a brief yet demanding kiss, leaving her breathless. Interlacing his fingers with hers, Rafe led Delia towards the grand entrance of the mansion. But as they crossed the threshold, he paused, a wicked glint dancing in his eyes. “Come with me,” he whispered huskily as he guided her towards a small library just off the hallway. Once inside the dimly lit space, Rafe wasted no time in pulling her into his arms, his lips crashing against hers in a passionate frenzy. Their kisses grew more urgent, more insistent, as the heat between them intensified. Rafe’s

  • I Got You - Coastal Wolves Series   The Date Night

    Delia found herself standing inside her closet, staring at the row of dresses in front of her. Her eyes scanning the array of colors and styles, searching for the perfect ensemble for her date with Rafe that evening. Earlier that day, she had ventured back to the town boutique to look for an outfit, but nothing caught her eye. Frustrated, she returned home and turned to her closet for inspiration. She was beyond excited about tonight and she wanted to look perfect for her first official date with Rafe. She wished Aria were here to help her pick something out. After what felt like hours of deliberation, she finally decided on a pale pink dress with a sweetheart neckline, adorned with delicate black piping and spaghetti straps. As she slipped it on, the fabric draped elegantly over her curves, the A-line skirt swishing softly over her thighs with each movement. She accessorized the dress with a delicate black choker necklace and slipped into a pair of black strappy heels that a

    As a stunning redhead approached their table, Rafe's expression shifted slightly, a hint of tension creeping into his features. Delia couldn't help but notice the change, sensing an undercurrent of unease radiating from him. The woman stopped beside their table, her gaze fixed on Rafe with an intensity that made Delia's stomach churn with apprehension. “Well, well, well, if it isn't Raphael Donovan," she purred, her voice dripping with sultry charm Dressed in a form-fitting black dress that hugged her curves in all the right places, the woman was tall and looked like a model with fiery auburn hair. Her attire was accessorized with delicate gold jewelry that glimmered in the soft candlelight, adding a hint of glamour. She was a vision of beauty with full, ruby-red lips that curved into a playful smile, revealing a set of perfectly straight white teeth. Rafe's jaw tightened imperceptibly, his silver eyes narrowing as he regarded the woman before him. "Natasha," he acknowl

    As Delia followed Ethan into the villa, her facade of composure crumbled, her distress evident in the tremble of her hands and the quiver of her voice. Turning to Ethan, she couldn't contain the torrent of questions and emotions swirling within her. “Why didn't anyone warn me about Natasha?" Delia demanded with hurt evident in her green eyes. "I had no idea Rafe was involved with her." Ethan's eyes softened, his eyes reflecting empathy. "Delia, Natasha doesn't mean a thing to Rafe," he reassured her, his tone gentle yet firm. Delia scoffed incredulously, her frustration boiling over. "It certainly didn't seem that way tonight," she retorted. Ethan sighed, a mixture of sympathy and frustration flickering in his eyes. "Yes, Rafe and Natasha have history," he admitted. "But that was awhile ago and long before he met you. I can't even begin to tell you how much you affect him." Delia shook her head in disbelief, her heart heavy with doubt and insecurity. "If that were true, Et

    The sound of crashing waves provided a soothing backdrop as the moon casted a luminous glow over Delia's figure as she stood by the water's edge, her gaze fixed on the horizon. For a moment, Rafe simply watched her, his heart swelling with a mixture of longing and regret. He knew he had hurt her, and the thought gnawed at him relentlessly. Summoning every ounce of courage he possessed, Rafe took a hesitant step forward, the cool sand shifting beneath his feet. "Delia," he called out softly, his voice carrying across the gentle night breeze. Startled, Delia turned towards him, her eyes widening in surprise as she caught sight of him standing there, his imposing silhouette illuminated by the moonlight. “Rafe," she breathed, her voice barely above a whisper. For a moment, they simply stared at each other, the air thick with unspoken tension. Then, as if drawn by some invisible force, Rafe took a step closer, his gaze never leaving hers. “Delia," he murmured, his voice a low

    As Rafe hoists Delia over his shoulders and carries her to the villa, her body trembles with a mixture of nervousness and excitement. His palm kneading her behind, he easily holds her weight up the rocky terrain. When they finally enter the villa, he leads them straight to her bedroom. With a swift motion, he throws her onto the bed, the mattress bouncing beneath her. Delia's heart races as she meets his hungry gaze. She scoots back nervously, her eyes locked on him as he approaches with a predatory glint in his eyes. But before she can protest or resist, he grasps both her legs, pulling them forward while simultaneously stripping off her pajama shorts, leaving her bottom half bare to him. Rafe stares at her beautiful glistening core as if entranced, his desire evident in the hungry look in his eyes. "Mine," he whispers hoarsely before diving in and tasting her directly for the first time. Delia gasps at the sensation of his warm tongue, her fingers clutching at th

  • I Got You - Coastal Wolves Series   The Jealousy

    As Nate's figure disappeared from their view, Delia's attention was abruptly seized as Rafe's strong grip enclosed around her arm, yanking her into the villa. “Why is Nate here again, and why are you just in your towel?" Rafe's voice dripped with possessiveness, his eyes ablaze with jealousy. Feeling her anger flare at his accusatory tone, Delia wrenched her arm from his grasp with defiance. "He was just here to check on me. Where were you this morning?” Rafe's predatory aura intensified as he closed the distance between them, his steps deliberate and menacing. “He sure likes to check on you a lot”. Delia instinctively backed away until she felt the cool surface of the wall press against her back. Before she could react, Rafe seized both her wrists and pinned them above her head, causing her towel to slip away, leaving her exposed to his hungry gaze. Turning her around to face the wall, Rafe pressed his body against hers, the heat of his desire palpable against her skin as h

    As Delia awoke from her unexpected afternoon siesta, the soft glow of evening light filtered through the curtains, casting a warm hue across the room. Blinking away the remnants of sleep, she glanced at her phone, half-expecting to find a message from Rafe. Disappointment flickered briefly as she saw none, but she brushed it aside with a shrug, reminding herself that he had promised to see her later. She decided to head to the beach and take a dip into the ocean to freshen up. She slipped into her white one-piece swimsuit and made her way down the beach access. As she reached the shoreline, the sound of crashing waves greeted her. Without hesitation, Delia waded into the ocean, the water refreshing against her skin after the warmth of the day. To her surprise, she spotted Ethan in the distance, his muscular arms cutting strong strokes through the water as he swam laps in the open expanse. Delia waved out to him, a smile lighting up her face as their eyes met. Ethan returned

    After Rafe and Delia finally showered, he carried her into the bedroom, his arms strong and steady as she nestled against him. The moment they reached the bed, the world outside ceased to exist. They made love with an unrelenting passion, their bodies drawn together like magnets. Time blurred as their desire seemed endless, and the day melted into night. They were insatiable, exploring every inch of each other, their connection deepening with every touch, every whispered word, and every shared breath. It wasn’t until the first rays of morning sunlight spilled into the room that they finally surrendered to exhaustion. Delia lay curled up in the sheets, her soft, steady breaths signaling her deep sleep. Rafe watched her for a moment, his heart swelling with a mixture of pride and affection. A sudden twinge in his mind broke through the peaceful moment—a mind link from Alex. “Rafe, we need to meet. It’s urgent.” Rafe sighed, already knowing the responsibilities of his positio

    As Rafe’s lips pressed against hers, Delia gasped softly, her hands threading into his damp hair. “Rafe…” she whispered breaking off, her voice trembling with a mix of emotions she couldn’t yet name. He pulled back slightly, his breath hot against her. “I’ve missed you, Delia,” he said, his voice husky, filled with raw honesty. “I’ve missed every part of you.” Her heart raced, each beat echoing in her ears. “Rafe,” she whispered, as she reached up to cradle his cheek. Her eyes locked with his, brimming with unspoken longing. “I’ve missed you too—so much.” Before the words could fully settle between them, their lips met again, this time with a fevered urgency. The kiss deepened, filled with the raw passion as their bodies were drawn together as though nothing else in the world existed. Rafe pressed Delia firmly against the cool bathroom wall, her back arching as the contrast of heat and cold sent shivers through her. A soft moan slipped from her lips. Rafe’s lips moved down

    Delia stirred awake, her face pressed against warmth, her senses slowly coming to life. The steady rhythm of a heartbeat beneath her cheek brought her comfort, though her head throbbed faintly with the remnants of last night’s drinks. Without even looking up, she knew exactly whose chest she was nestled against. She hesitated for a moment before tilting her head, her eyes meeting the intense silver gaze of Rafe. His face, calm and slightly amused, hovered above her. “Good morning,” he said, his deep voice soft and rumbling through his chest. Delia blinked, her cheeks flushing as she quickly tried to sit up. “Good morning,” she mumbled, only to immediately regret the motion as a wave of dizziness hit her. She moaned, pressing a hand to her temple. “Ugh… What am I doing here?” Rafe chuckled softly, the sound rich and teasing. “You passed out on the boat last night after… well, after venting about me. Once we got back, I carried you to my room.” Delia’s memory began to stir, th

    After Aria left, Delia and Ethan had a few more drinks together whilst talking about the events of the night. Delia let out a tipsy laugh, nearly spilling what was left of her champagne. “I mean, who does Rafe think he is? Storming into that garden like some… like some overgrown wolf with a jealousy problem!” Ethan stayed quiet, his expression neutral, though there was a flicker of amusement in his eyes as he watched Delia rant. “And Natasha?” Delia continued, her voice louder than she realized. “What even is her deal? Parading around like some… like some cheap knockoff of a Bond villain!” Ethan raised an eyebrow. “A Bond villain?” he asked, unable to hide his grin. “Yes!” Delia declared, wobbling slightly as she pointed dramatically towards the party. “She has that whole ‘I’m better than everyone else’ aura, like she’s about to reveal some secret evil plan. Ugh, I really don’t like her and not because is supposedly engaged to Rafe.” Ethan chuckled softly, ca

    As Aria’s mystery man disappeared in the shadows, Delia hurried over to Aria, placing a hand on her friend’s arm. “Are you okay? What was that about?”Aria hesitated, glancing toward where the man had vanished. “I’m fine,” she said quickly, but her voice betrayed her unease.“Aria,” Delia pressed, “Who was that? What did he want?”Aria looked away, biting her lip as if debating whether to speak. Finally, she sighed, her shoulders slumping slightly. “I can’t explain right now, Delia,” she said quietly. Delia nodded reluctantly. “Alright,” she said softly. “But if you need help, promise me you’ll come to me.”Aria offered a faint smile. “I will”, she said while raking her fingers through her wavy blonde hair. “I need a drink,” she muttered, clearly exasperated.Delia, still reeling from the events of the night, managed a weak laugh. “You and me both sister!,” she said. “After tonight, I think I deserve at least two.”Aria gave her a side glance, raising a brow. “So, I guess my brother

    Rafe stood there, his chest heaving with emotions he struggled to contain. The night air was heavy with tension, his senses heightened by the lingering scent of Delia. Nate glared at Rafe, then he turned around and stomped off in the opposite direction, back towards the festivities. Rafe clenched his fists, the urge to shift still simmering beneath his skin, but he held onto the last shreds of his human control. Nate's words echoed in his mind. "I know what you are, Rafe." It was a revelation that struck deep, shaking the very foundation of Rafe's world. How could Nate know? And what did he intend to do with that knowledge? These questions gnawed at him, but now wasn't the time to dwell on them. Delia had asked for space, and despite every fiber of his being urging him to go after her, he knew he had to respect her wishes. Alex’s voice broke through his thoughts. "Rafe," he said quietly, his expression a mix of concern. "Let's talk." Rafe turned to where Alex a

    As Rafe found himself in the midst of a throng of people wishing congratulations to him and Natasha, his mind was elsewhere...Delia! Natasha, dressed elegantly beside him, smiled and graciously accepted the attention, her demeanor poised and charming. Rafe kept up the charade as he thanked those who approached them. However, his silver eyes kept scanning the sea of faces, searching for a way to escape the relentless attention. Spotting an opening near a cluster of potted plants at the edge of the garden, Rafe subtly maneuvered Natasha towards the quieter area. With a polite excuse about needing a moment to catch his breath, he gently extricated himself from Natasha's side, her hand briefly lingering on his arm before she turned her attention back to the guests. Once out of the immediate spotlight, Rafe took a deep breath, his shoulders relaxing marginally as he found a temporary respite from the overwhelming social interaction. Rafe stood there reflected on the events of the even

    As Rafe and Natasha took the stage, Delia remained transfixed in her spot, unable to tear her gaze away. Rafe still wore the same suit he had on earlier that evening, with the burgundy tie that somehow perfectly matched Natasha’s dress. It was a subtle yet unmistakable announcement of their supposed couplehood, conveyed through coordinated attire. Delia had anticipated attending the event and showing Rafe what he was missing, but the pang of hurt she felt seeing them together caught her off guard. It was one thing to intellectually prepare for the situation, but witnessing it unfold before her eyes stirred up a tumult of emotions she wasn’t prepared for. As if sensing her presence, Rafe looked up and caught her eyes, momentarily surprised to see her here standing with Aria and Ethan. He could see the hurt in her eyes and swallowed the guilt he felt inwardly. He wished she weren’t here to cause herself this pain. Despite everything, his heart yearned for her, and seeing her here

    Delia arrived at the marina and parked her car, her gaze immediately drawn to the large yacht docked nearby. She recognized it as Nate’s from the Jackson & Associates’ logo and it being the only one left at the marina. As she made her way towards the vessel, she saw Nate descending to meet her, his eyes fixed on her in admiration. “Delia, you look stunning, darling," Nate exclaimed as he reached her, taking her hands and admiring her from head to toe. “Thank you," Delia murmured, feeling a bit uncomfortable under his intense gaze. Nate shook his head slightly, as if to snap out of his reverie, and gestured for her to follow him onto the boat. "This way," he said with a smile. Once aboard, the captain set sail as Nate led Delia inside the cabin, which was elegantly fitted with plush seating and a bar in the corner. “Would you like some champagne?" Nate offered, gesturing towards the well-stocked bar that held a bottle of Dom Perignon in an ice bucket. Delia nodded, a small s
