"Volunteer work?" Gabriel blinked, finally looking surprised, looking away from the Institute's facade to her.
"Exactly." Andy put her hands on her hips, barely able to wait for the moment when he would get angry or come up with some excuse to get away from there “They always need people to cook, do some cleaning or do activities with the children's ward. I’m sure you’re more than ready to work hard all day, aren’t you, Gabriel?” she patted his arm “Since you seemed so excited to accompany me…”
“So this is what you did on Saturdays?” he interrupted her, not sounding disappointed or angry, but almost… Admired “Since you were a teenager?”
“Uh… I…” Andy stuttered, expecting anything but that kind of reaction, since
“Stop looking at that room like you’re expecting something to explode at any moment, Andy.” Jane suddenly elbowed her, making Andy almost drop the duster she had in his her and which she was supposed to be using to clean the library shelves “It may be that man's first time doing volunteer work, but he's clearly not an idiot. I'm sure everything will be fine. Hopefully, the children will be merciful to him.”“I know, I just…” Andy bit her lip, trying to focus on cleaning again. “I didn't expect him to agree to do that, I confess.”“Wait, if he’s not your boyfriend or your friend…” Jane looked up from the papers they were reading, confused “Why did you bring him here in the first place?”“Uh… It’s compl
“Come on, Gabriel! Again!"“Children, I think you're running a serious risk of breaking his back if you keep playinghorse with the poor man…” Mrs. Hayes warned the children who were huddling together, wanting to be placed on Gabriel's shoulders and play with flying “Now, come here and help me and Andy organize the toys. It’s almost time for you guys to go home.”“But we want to play more…” the children lamented, some grumbling and others pouting."Come on guys. I promise I will try as soon as possible so we can play a little more on another day.” Gabriel promised, now with a clean face and only a few traces of glitter, as the children had come to a consensus that he looked more convincing as a giant without all the makeup “Now, obe
“I swear, Andy, you didn’t have to bring me here. I wasn't that uncomfortable…” Lynn bit her lip, still trying to convince Andy to give up paying for her lunch even after they had already sat down at the table and the waiter had just taken the order.“Nonsense. It’s the least I can do to apologize for my coworker’s behavior.” Andy snorted, wishing lightning would strike Walter's head while they were there “And, don't worry. He only tried to interfere in your case because he found out that your husband's family is rich. I guarantee that he has never had or will have any access to the details of the cases I work on, so there is no risk of him informing his husband of his intention to divorce. Furthermore, I have already communicated to Mr. Whitlock and I am sure he will make it very clear to Mr. Campbell how inelegant it is to approach our customers in t
Andy remembered coming home tired from work before her life became such a hurricane, but nothing could compare to the exhaustion she felt every day these days, whenever she set foot in the Vamcap mansion. Well, maybe she shouldn't be working so much overtime lately, but she needed to gather the evidence in the case against Alphonse, meet the immense business demand that Gabriel's company had, and now also plan a foolproof settlement for Lynn's divorce...The only thing she was sure of was that skipping dinner for a day just so she could get some more sleep didn't seem like such a bad option, as her heavy eyes threatened to close.“Aaron…” Andy heard the sound of Rose's muffled laughter as he passed the informal dining room, which was the one they used most “Stop it. Alec just went to bed. You know any noise outside and he might come bac
"Girl's night! I missed this so much! We haven’t done anything like this since college!” Harriet cheered, as she opened the door to her apartment to let Andy and Lynn in “Has it really been 3 years since we graduated? God, when did we stop being young and energetic?”“Young people, I don’t know, but I don’t remember us having energy even when we were freshmen and the subject of Criminal Law hadn’t yet consumed our soul.” Andy laughed, stretching after a long day at work “We've never stayed past midnight at any Brotherhood party, even the ones that, once in a million years, served acceptable food and not just vodka mixed with any liquid possible.”“I might have partied more if the apartment my grandmother rented for me back then didn’t have such a comfortable bed.” Lynn snorted,
"What do you mean?" Andy asked, confused about what she had just said about Gabriel.“Like I said, I really think he's a good person, but he can be pretty scary most of the time.” Lynn said, clearly intimidated just thinking about it. “I've never seen him in a business meeting or talking to people who owe him money, but everyone says it's scary. Furthermore, he always had a gloomy expression on his face when I met him. That’s been changing lately, but I’ve heard comments that in the office it’s still the same.”"That is true. I've seen him with a literally murderous look and I thought I was going to faint from fear. That’s because he was staring at Walter and not me.” Lynn added, however, upon seeing Andy's incredulous expression, she raised an eyebrow “Andy, there's no way you haven't noticed this unt
“And then, we realized that the stock was all right and she had confused the expiration date on the milk cartons.” Cameron said, making Andy laugh.“Jane really needs to get over this aversion to wearing glasses.”“Good luck convincing that old owl of that.” he joked, until the two stopped in front of the entrance to the Vamcap propert. “So… You're home. Hey, today was pretty cool, wasn’t it?” Cameron asked, with a hopeful smile.“Yeah…” she smiled, feeling guilty for not being able to say that with the same enthusiasm as him “You’re right.”It was the purest truth. Everything that night had been nice and... Nothing more. No matter how hard she tried, all the words that came
“I…” Gabriel seemed to be trying to apologize as he approached where she was sitting, although not even he seemed to be able to find the words that could justify the fact that he was there at that moment.“Of course you would be here chasing me.” she complained, even though she wasn't that surprised."Sorry." he sighed, standing before her with that guilty expression and slumped shoulders that made it difficult for her to imagine that he was the everyone-feared billionaire that Harriet and Lynn had told her about “I know I shouldn't be here, but... I paid a visit. I quickly went to the Institute this week and I heard Jane talking to her son about the two of you meeting and how she would love to have you as her daughter-in-law…”"And then? Did you think Cameron was da
In the Calibur Pack, no one was satisfied with the Alpha's wedding, especially himself. Hunter had spent the last few years being told by everyone that he should find a woman, even if she wasn't his fated mate, and produce an heir for the pack as soon as possible. And now, as he stood at the altar, wearing a suit so old it seemed to be squeezing even his soul, he could hear the agitated murmurs of his wolves, scattered around the small chapel honoring the Moon God, but not quiet enough to his Alpha's keen hearing could not hear. “Oh, our poor Alpha…” one of the older women in the pack whispered “We prayed so hard for the God to send him a good Luna and now this… What did Hunter do to deserve a woman like that?” “I heard she once had a maid cut off her own finger so she could eat it.” one of the teens said to his friends, as if telling a horror story. "This is ridiculous. But the rumor that she has a collection of whips and names them all, so she knows what punishment to give to tho
“And lastly, the case Miller vs. Jones will be under the responsibility of Miss Matthewson.” Andy announced to his colleagues, turning off the tablet screen that was under the meeting room table, “Any questions? Well, they're dismissed. Have a good weekend, everybody.” she wished with a smile, causing all the lawyers to stand up, starting to get out of their chairs and take their folders and cases with them, but one person approached her chair before Andy could turn around to talk to Harriet “Is there a problem, Miss Matthewson?” she asked, looking at the young woman with short blonde hair and blue eyes that looked almost scared. “It’s not that, Mrs. Ferrars, it’s just…” she swallowed hard “Are you sure it wouldn’t be better to put this case in the hands of a more experienced lawyer?” “You did well being my support in the last trial.” Andy explained “I think
“Ian!” Harriet stopped her scream from spreading throughout her parents' entire house when she buried her face into the pillow, the only thing she could do as she felt Ian's body moving against her, making the pleasure all that was in her mind. “Harriet…” he growled against her ear, still holding her shoulders in front with one arm and using the other to pinch her nipples, keeping her where he wanted as he continued slamming that thick, long cock into her mercilessly, making her pussy leaking everywhere onto the white sheets “My angel…” Ian called her nickname, with his accent appearing between the syllables in a way that always warmed her heart, even when she wasn't able to realize it “That tight pussy is even better than I imagined…” “Ian…” she whined, rubbing her cheek against the sheet as her entire body swayed from his fierce thrusts.
“You don’t have to go in if you don’t want to.” Nathan muttered, although his attention was still fully focused on the car window, where he could see the main door of McCoy's mansion, just a few meters away from where they were parked. "I can get the things you want."Lynn didn't even know why that behavior bothered her so much. It was always like that between them. When she was still married to Henry, Lynn remembered wishing that something could happen to break the awkward tension that always existed between them, that made them smile awkwardly and avoid contact as much as possible, just so that an accident would never happen that would force them to to admit how attracted they were to each other. And now, she was officially divorced and had said out loud, and in the middle of an entire nightclub, that she wanted to sleep with him... But in the end, as much as they had agreed to be
“Grandma, I don’t think we have to put up the crests of the spouses of everyone who married into the family.” Alec sighed, discreetly moving his shoulders as if to push his grandmother away from his computer screen.“You’re already twelve, kid. It’s time to get to know the roots that form your family, even if it’s through school work.” Adele grumbled, again trying to reach her notebook, even though she probably had no idea how she could insert an image into the document.“I'm eleven years old, Grandma…” Alec snorted “Besides, this job doesn't need anything too special… This family tree thing doesn't even matter anyway…” he muttered and, even from where they were, sitting with Andy on a sofa a little away from the table where Alec was writing his work in the Vamcap libra
“Are you sure it wouldn’t be better to wear a suit?” Gabriel asked, looking at his sweater “I loved your gift, but I don't want your brother to think I'm being too casual…” “Gabriel, it’s a family-only Christmas dinner.” Andy laughed, hugging his arm even more tightly, while guiding Luca by the collar with his other hand and pulling them both into the Vamcap mansion, still seeming extremely familiar with that place even though it hadn't been her home for four months to be casual "And don't worry about Aaron's ugly face. He growls but doesn't bite. Only I can do this with you.” She released Luca, who ran free through the house in the direction where the food was coming from, and discreetly squeezed his ass, causing Gabriel to stop on the way just so he could hold her ass too and kiss her, moving his tongue in her mouth like his dick was doing in her pussy, just a few moments earlier, in the car.
“And then, as you can imagine, the doctor said everything was fine with me. I just need to ice the bruises and take some painkillers every now and then. Nothing that surprises me, since it's literally the fifth doctor to tell me this, but my family and Ian keep insisting... Mom, I'm talking to Andy! Will you stop doing that?!” Harriet snorted on the other end of the line, making Andy laugh softly. “You have to take care of that swelling in your ankle! You don’t want to be limping in your wedding day, do you?” Ms. Bloom complained and the cell phone started to sound strange and squeaky, as if it was being passed quickly from hand to hand. “How many times do I have to repeat it, mom? Ian and I being together now doesn’t mean we’re getting married tomorrow, no matter how much you and him insist on it!” Harriet complained, “Sorry, Andy, the people in this house are all crazy about marrying people off without their consent. Even when their own daughter was kidnapped less than a week ago.”
The sound of the shot hurt her ears, but even so, Andy forced herself to keep her eyes open, watching Mark's shoulder explode with blood, throwing him backwards, as the bullet she had been waiting for finally was fired.“Harriet!” Andy shouted, running towards where Mark had fallen, dropping the gun in one direction and Harriet in the other. “Run!”With her hands tied, her best friend rolled over on the floor, anxiously trying to get up even with her legs clearly wobbly, while Mark grunted in pain and anger on the floor, holding his injured shoulder as he screamed and tried to reach the gun that had slid away.“You fucking bitch! You’re all going to die now!”While he finally managed to reach Harriet and managed to help her try t
"Breathe deeply." Gabriel told her, when he finally parked the car in front of the abandoned gas station in the middle of the dark night, with only a streetlight in the distance illuminating the entire highway very poorly “It's going to be okay, I promise.”“Let's get out of the car slowly and without making any sudden movements…” Andy advised, reaching for his hand one last time, trying in vain to control her racing heart “And, please… Promise me that you won't put yourself in danger. No matter what he says, make sure you don’t get hurt, will you?” she begged, making him smile that smile she loved so much.“The same goes for you, my love.” he reminded, before, clearly unwillingly, taking his hand from hers “Now, let's go.”“Slowly
