ADRIANAThis dress is so tight, I can’t breathe in it. And the car literally has no air left in it because no matter how deep I try to breathe it. My lungs still are blocked and uncomfortable.“You’ll be fine,” I whisper to myself.I’m just going to be there for an hour. Enough to see Xander and disorient him a bit.Well, that is what mum said, I believe I’ll be the disoriented one.But as the voice in my head said. I’m not giving myself enough credit. I have the same effect on Xander as he does on me, maybe even more. So I have a chance of getting away with this easily. What she forgets is, Xander is manipulative. And I don’t like without stuttering through every alphabet.So he has upped me on that.“Pretend you have confidence.” I recall what Ursula had said when I told her I get nervous when attending parties. That isn't the truth of the matter.I get nervous when I think of attending a party Xander will be present at. Not only that, but one he is hosting.This isn’t going to end
XANDERShe came. She actually came.I mean, I knew deep down she was coming. But seeing her and knowing she would be here were two totally different things.I was talking to one of the alphas I was in business with when I was informed that she had arrived. I don’t think I excused myself before I pretty much disappeared from the hall and went to welcome her.She deserved a royal treatment.I waited for a moment to take her in. She looked amazing. Breathtaking. No word would justify how good she looked so I should even stop trying.Her hair which wasn’t in its natural color, I’m guessing, Dreaya’s doing, still fit her perfectly. She was known for her beauty, and that hasn’t changed.She doesn’t have eye lenses on tonight so I could see her bright eye even from the distance I stood. She didn’t come in a tinted car. And although it annoyed me that other people had caught glimpses of her. I wasn’t as offended when I realized I was seeing her because of that.I couldn’t see her full hairsty
ADRIANAThat big headed bastard.I gritted my teeth hard. Really, if I had to stay in his presence for any moment longer. My feet will probably fall out from how hard and often I’m gritting them.I admit, I dug my own grave with my plan. But I thought it would work. I must have forgotten just how fast he is. Or maybe I didn’t anticipate it because now, I have to do as he says. If I don’t want him to throw me over his shoulder.I know he’ll do it. He isn’t just bluffing. And if the hardness pressing into my stomach means anything, then it is, he’ll be very happy doing it.And I am against anything that’ll bring him joy.&nbs
ADRIANAAs his tongue brushed over mine, a torrent of conflicting emotions urged from within. Filling me and taking over my entire existence.Everything I was supposed to feel, and not feel towards this man disappeared with every languid sweep of his tongue against mine.I forgot what I had been about to do before he deepened the kiss. I only found myself succumbing deeper into it. Letting it consume me.Beneath the surface of whatever animosity I held towards him. I couldn’t help identifying some other emotions. An unchartered territory of longing and a deeper connection. One I’m not ready to name.I couldn’t remember my name at this point. I certainly did not
ADRIANAThe girl with dark hair smiles at me. She looks even more radiant with her sparkling white teeth. I don’t think I’ve ever seen anyone with such perfect teeth.“It is nice to meet you, Drea,” almost in a flash, she leaves her seat and comes to stand beside me.I’m shocked when she pulls me into a hug. Her body was warm and her scent. I don’t know what about it gave me deja vu. Before I could try to understand the emotions, she moved away. Though she was still close and beaming.“I have a feeling we’ll be great friends.” She winked as she said that.She goes back to her seat but I’m frozen in place as her last sentence keeps repeating in my head. I could have sworn I’ve heard those exact same words before. Every single word of that.Xander pulls a seat out for me. I ignore the butterflies swimming in my stomach, reminding myself he forced me to sit with him.Yeah, but I brought myself to the party so he is not the only one at fault.It doesn’t change the fact that I’ll blame him
XANDERIf I’m not careful, Adriana will actually go through with all her threats of killing me. Because right now, she looks like she is about to pick the knife on the table and lodge it in my throat. Something tells me she’ll enjoy watching me bleed out.Still, why the hell does that make my dick throb?I shouldn’t be feeling this at the thought of violence. But then again, this isn’t because of the violence. It is because she will be the one hurting me.And will it really be hurting me if I’m looking forward to it?Maybe Daciana is right, I do need to see a doctor.Speaking of which, I noticed how Adriana didn't have any recollection of her. Which confirmed my thoughts. Dreaya tweaked her memories. It does make me feel greatly better to know she doesn't just hate me.God knows what that crazy, spiteful bitch had told her.“Does that help you sleep better at night?” She asks after a moment.I noticed her doing breathing exercises. All to refrain from killing me. Knowing I have that m
ADRIANAI feel something warm trailing down my arms just as the lights go off. There are shocked gasps for the most part but people Dom’t really make a move to get out of the way or anything like that.I’m not focused on what is on my arm, rather I’m trying to find my way out of here. Maybe the lights going off was a good thing. I can escape Xander. Because from the way he was acting, he hadn't planned on just walking me to the door. Nothing about him says gentleman.But I have one slight problem. I can’t see as well in the dark as the rest of the people here. It doesn’t help that most of them are lycans. And lycans are known to have better everything then wolves.I blinked, wondering why my eyes felt dry. I literally can’t make out anything.This can’t be happening right now.I try to keep my expression calm. In case anyone was watching me, I didn’t want to look frightened. In a room full of predators, you better not make yourself an easy prey.I’m still trying to force my eyes to se
XANDER I didn’t mention the blood on Adriana’s hand because it seemed she didn’t notice, or maybe her mind was on something else. Probably the latter. The second the metallic smell had hit my nostrils, I almost lost it. I knew it was hers. Her natural scent was very strong even with the stench of blood. Maybe it has something to do with her suddenly falling asleep. God, I hope Dreaya hasn’t done some crazy witch voodoo on her. I wouldn’t waste a second before killing that woman if she dared hurt her. Forget that she is her mother and she’ll probably never forgive me. I would rather spend the rest of my life making up for that, than let her go back to a place if she isn’t being treated well. I took her to my current room where I laid her on the bed. I wasn’t surprised when I saw the wound had healed on its own. That is to be expected. I couldn’t tell where she had gotten cut. Due to movement, it has messed up pretty much her whole hand. I sighed then took off my jacket. I rolled
XANDERI couldn’t mistake the pleased look I was seeing on Adriana’s face. Something about her possessive turns me on beyond inhibition. Without thinking to stop myself, I thrusted upwards, entering her and buying myself to the hilt. Her warmth clamps around me in a vice. It is the best thing I have ever felt. I gripped both sides of her waist and led her movements as she slowly adjusts to me. Since she was very wet. But after a few thrusts, I could easily slip in and out of her. She held her hands on my shoulders for balance and rode me like she was born for this. Made for me.We were perfect for each other. Perfect like this. Our bodies tailor made and fit like a glove. No one could ever compare. When she came, she cried out my name. Her voice hauntingly sweet. I know I’ll need forget it. It influenced my own orgasm. I started moving roughly . Ravaging her like she was my last meal and I was a man starved. I moaned her name and bit down on her neck without thinking. My fangs sunk
ADRIANAI didn’t know what came over me. I was just feeling a raw hunger for Xander and no matter how much I tried to remind my brain that he is the enemy. It didn’t work. If anthijg, the craving only got worse. In the end, it won. And I found myself doing things I didn’t even know I was capable of. The scene seemed like something out of a porn movie. Not once did it feel like i was actually the one doing that.Even though the emotions racking through my body was more than enough proof I’m not watching it from a third pov and in the one actually starting in it. I didn’t believe it. I felt Xander’s trailing up my inner thighs. It pulls me from my thoughts. “What are you thinking so deeply about?” He murmurs, placing small kisses on the exposed skin of my shoulders. We’re lying in bed. Well, I was sitting and he is doing the same now.We had sex again. Neither of us could stop it from happening. It is like our bodies were tired of the fights and constant back and forth. So they to
XANDERI half expected to wake up next to dead flower or something. But it was Adriana on the bed. I couldn’t explain accurately what I felt at that moment. I stared at her. Something warm and sickeningly sweet overtaking every part of my body. Her wake naked body pressed against mine has my morning wood straining under the covers. It doesn’t help when she lets out a soft moan as she turned and threw her leg over mine. I held back a grunt of my one when her knee teases the tip of my back. She was still fast asleep from the looks of it. So she wasn’t doing this on purpose. A devilish voice in my head suggested I reach under the covers and sink into he warm heat. It sounded like a good plan. The idea turned me on even more.But I held myself back. Last night hadn’t been in the cards. It happened and I’m definitely not complain . I just won’t take advantage of the fact that she is sleeping to get myself off. If we’re going to have sex again, it’ll be becaus she’s exclusively makes i
ADRIANAI almost smiled at how cute Xander seemed, trying to progenr me from seeing the body of the dead woman. Cute had been the word that came to my head. And it’s funny how I was relating that to, debated, the scariest man on earth. I met him carry me to his room. It felt extra nice for some reason. Maybe it was his attention on me. Or the way he was extra careful. You would think he was carrying some kind of prized possession. Knowing I was being respected like that made butterflies swim in my stomach. He deposited me on the bed. Gently. Then he walked to the bathroom. I was about to call him back, thinking he was trying to get away from telling me what he mentioned. But he stopped and turned by the door. “Give me a moment to freshen up then we can get this over with.”I nodded. Not really knowing what to say. Should I say I was feeling nervous? I didn’t know what exactly he was going to say. But it definitely involved my mither. I haven’t fully recovered from the dream I ha
XANDERAdriana and I stay in the quiet office for what felt like forever. The dead body growing cold by the minute. I had spared her a glance fo make sure she was fine. Seeing someone be killed right in front of you is horrendous. I was forced to witness this when I was five years old.I know how damaging it is. And she has probably never seen anything like it. She looked fine surprisingly. Save for the shock you could see. Nothing was amiss. I made a mental note to call someone for cleanup. But to actually mindlink them to get it done seemed like hardwork. The weight of what just happened settled in much later. Getting on my nerves more. What the fuck was Donovan thinking? This was the only hope we had. Now what does he expect us to do? And better yet, what the hell did she find out what she was about to say? Why did he stop her?I’ve known him for all my life. So I definitely know he has a reason for doing that. Donovan never does anything without thinking it through. Among the
ADRIANAAll three of us pause in shock after the loud thud of a body meeting the ground.Not that I recovered from the earlier one since Donovan walked in. It didn’t even have much to do with his foreboding presence but rather the unexpectedness of his presence. And for him to see us in such an…intimate position. I don’t think I’ll ever be able to face him again.I had found solace in Xander’s body. At first it was because I didnt know where else to go and it seemed like the safest option. I didn’t have a shirt on for God’s sake. And I wasn’t about to let him see me like that. He isn’t even someone I like particularly. If anything, his presence scares me. And I’m not about to add more reasons why I shouldn’t be anywhere close to hi. This time it would be because I’m traumatized he saw me naked and very close to sleeping with his brother. Damn Adriana, you are really gone. The thought of what mum would think crosses my mind. But for the first time in a long while, I didn’t really
XANDER“Holy shit.”The unexpected voice makes both Adriana and I turn towards the door where Donovan was standing. His mouth would be on the floor if it was physically possible for that happen.I almost bark out a laugh when Adriana ducks, after making a be dry funny sound. She ended up falling into me, since I was kttong directly in front of her. It must be because of the shock because she throws her arms around my neck and buries her head in the crook of ny neck. I have to force the effect her body has on mine to the back of my head. Because one, Donovan is still standing there and his eyes were on her. A loud growl rips from my chest. “Stop fucking looking at her!”If she wasn’t in my arms, I would have punched his eyes out of their sockets.The only thing saving him from me right now is her. And these damn binds that has my movements limited. How fucking well did she tie the tie? You would think she’d cemented my hands together or something. “What do you want?” I snapped wh
XANDERTeasing Adrian came at the cost of just sanity. But she owned every part of me so it was a small price to pay.As long as I’ll have her squirming in my thighs. The scent of her arousal the onky scent in the room. It fills my nostrils. And even at that, I inhale again deeply because I’m just greedy like that. “What kind of game is this?” She says, her voice slightly breathless. She tried to sound normal though she wasn’t successful. Her hands tightened on the edge of the desk. If she removed it and is as indents from her fingers. I wouldn’t be surprised. “A game I guarantee we’ll both like very much.” I replied in a raspy voice. Her breath hitches when I place a kiss where her neck and shoulder meets. It is one of her sensitive spots. She reacts perfectly by jumping a bit, offering the perfect friction to get my dick moving. He’s liking her very much now. I haven’t felt this calm in days. Weeks. Heck, even months. There was no war in my head. No voice arguing or fighti
ADRIANAI didn’t know what to say to Xander after his… confession?It didn’t help that he looked so sure when he spoke. There was no ounce of doubt in his voice. He knew what he was saying. And he was sincere. I didn’t need to Alaina to tell me that much. And it seems, she knew that part too. Everything was confusing. And how he acts makes it all the more crazy for me. The version of him in my head and the version of him I’ve been with for the past few months are entirely different people. He has also made it clear that he just changed. This isn’t how he was before. He changed for me. Anyone would be happy to hear they have such a powerful man wrapped around their fingers. On the other hand, it just made my life more complicated. I knew he was bad. If he had shown me that side. I wouldn’t be in this situation now. But he was different. He caused differently with me especially. And, he was painfully honest. I never knew I would be so annoyed at the thought of so some being uprig
