EllaI made my way through the crowd with my wolf’s pull guiding me, weaving between groups of well-dressed partygoers. The soft murmur of conversations and the clinking of glasses filled the air.Up ahead, Logan was engrossed in a discussion with a few businessmen, and I approached him, my heart quickening at the sight of him. He looked so confident and composed, exuding an air of charisma that drew people in.
EllaI watched as Logan and the mysterious man disappeared from view, my unease growing with each step they took. The whole situation left a bitter taste in my mouth, and I couldn’t shake the feeling that something was amiss. Despite the lively atmosphere of the party continuing around me, I couldn’t help but feel isolated and uncertain.The whole situation was odd. First there was the networking party disguised as a “holiday party”. Then there was the mysterious
LoganAs I made my way up the staircase and away from the glitz and the glamor of the last minute “holiday” party, the sounds of the music and the clinking of glasses faded.But all the while, Ella’s words swirled around inside my head. I kept thinking about her mixed signals tonight, about how wonderful she had felt standing next to me, only for her to remind me that we weren’t together.
EllaAfter pulling apart from my hug with the housekeeper, I made my way through the throng of party guests and outside into the cool night air. Even though it was almost midnight, the party was still in full swing and would likely go on for a couple more hours at least. As I stepped into the garden, the sound of the music coming from inside wafted over everything and created a hazy, dreamlike world in combination with the sounds of the crickets and the distant city lights.However, as I
Ella“Just open it, Ella. I promise you’ll understand everything in a minute.”With the little box in my hand, I gave him a sideways look, suspicion creeping into my mind. After all the extravagant gifts he had given me tonight, I couldn’t help but wonder what this one would be.But, with a dee
EllaThe next morning, I found myself standing in Logan’s exercise room, a place I had only heard about but never seen.It was much more spacious than I had imagined, equipped with various gym equipment, mats, and even a small boxing ring. The walls were lined with mirrors, reflecting the polished floors and the gleaming exercise machines. It was clear that this was where Logan honed his physical prowess.
EllaLogan and I lay on the exercise mats, our breaths coming out thick and heavy. We had just been training on these very mats, practicing our hand to hand combat, but our lips and tongues were locked in a battle of their own.I straddled Logan, having pinned him down beneath me. I could feel him smiling against my lips, and I pulled away, shooting him a warning glare that was more teasing than anything.“What?” I hissed as I licked my lips. “Problem?”Logan just smirked. “No,” he said. “I don’t have a problem.”But I could see the smirk on his face. I pressed his wrists a little harder into the mat, relishing the feeling of his firm body beneath me. “You’re hiding something.”For a few moments, Logan just smirked up at me; but then I felt it. His leg had worked its way around mine—and then, in one swift movement, the world was whirling around me before I came to a breathless stop on the mat. I was below him this time, and now he was the one who was pinning me down.He clicked his to
EllaThe air in the exercise room felt heavy with the aftermath of our passionate hookup. My heart was still pounding, and my body tingled with desire. I had never expected things to escalate like this, and now that they had, I was overcome with a mixture of emotions.“Wow,” Logan breathed as he rolled away from me, out of breath and just as sweaty as before. “That was…”His voice trailed off, but he didn’t need to finish. I didn’t want him to finish—because I was coming back to my senses.God, what had I done?The aftermath of what we had just done together hit me like a freight train. I felt as though I had fallen victim to my primal urges and I had done something I never should have done. This was a mistake, just like the first time.So why did I feel so… good?My cheeks flushed with embarrassment as the realization hit me. No, this wasn’t right. I shouldn’t have done this; it was stupid. It was so, so stupid. But I could make a promise to myself never to do it again. I could put t
