“An orgasm.”His words floated in my head, and I immediately felt dizzy. Before I could get any word past my throat, he took my hand and led me to a couch that overlooked the lake where my mother’s wedding reception had been held a week ago.He stopped walking in front of the couch, and I turned to him, my wide eyes doing nothing to hide my surprise.“Here?” I stared at him with disbelief.He nodded with a cocky smile. A cocky smile that showcased his perfect, straight teeth, and made my heart palpitate.But I pulled my eyes from his distracting smile and focused on the matter at hand. “There’s no way I’m getting naked here. In Daniel’s study. Anyone could walk in. My mom could walk in,” I whispered the words like they could destroy a city if I said them too loud.My heart was beating madly in my chest, because I couldn’t risk getting caught.When I decided to submit to him, it was my plan to have everything in control and not get caught, but seeing the smirk on Chase’s lips, I didn’
I stepped into the shower for the third time that morning, seeking clarity amidst the chaos in my mind. The warm water cascaded down my skin, calming my senses, but my thoughts remained a jumbled mess. Chase was a force to be reckoned with, and I knew I was taking a risk by getting entangled with him.I was playing a really dangerous game and I knew it. Chase was like fire one didn’t want to mess with, but for some twisted reason that even I couldn’t understand, I wanted that fire to burn me till it consumed me whole.He had been so smooth and in control, and not even the thought of my mother being right in view or Daniel walking through the doors, stopped him from doing what he wanted to me.My stomach clenched and I felt wetness seep out of me.I yelled loudly into my pillow so it came out muffled. I really needed to get steam out.Not that kind of steam.I needed to get things off my chest. I needed someone to talk to, but Hailey was across th me world in Europe for some family fun
“Pu–punishment?” I stuttered.Instead of replying, he crossed to the other side of the room and perched himself on the couch.“Come here,” he waved a finger at him.I gulped. My legs turned to lead, and even though I didn’t know what he wanted to do, I was smart enough to know going to him would be a big mistake.My eyes doubled between the door behind me, and him, wondering how fast I could get out before he caught me.He clicked his teeth with his tongue and shook my head. “Don’t think about it, kitten. You don’t want to disobey me more than you already have.”His voice was low and dangerous, and a shiver ran through my spine.“Now, don’t make me repeat myself,” he deadpanned.I took a big gulp of air and took slow steps towards him. Maybe it was the icy look in his eyes, or the dangerous tone of his voice, but I was scared.I reached him, and he pulled my arm and sprawled me across his knees. My eyes widened and I tried to move but he held me down.“Chase….” I whined.“Don’t speak
Chase’s pov “Fuck! Fuck! Fuck!” I groaned, stabbing the punching bag aggressively with my fists.I unleashed my frustration on the punching bag, my fists flying in a flurry of anger. The bag burst, joining the others on the floor. I growled, my wolf howling in my mind.It was late at night –or early in he morning, depending on what 4 am is to you– and I had been going at the punching bags all night.I’d returned to my penthouse after my encounter with Elodie, because I couldn’t stand being so close to her. My wolf was going wild in my mind, and I knew if I’d spent the night there, I wouldn’t be able to stop myself from fucking her senseless and even marking her.“Fuck!” I groaned, angry at myself for even thinking about it.It was impossible. There was no way under the sun that I would be mated to a human.But why did my wolf howl with possessiveness each time I touched her?Why did my canines elongate painfully each time I caught a whiff of her scent or looked af her white, milky ne
Chase’s pov Since I was in the pack, I decided to go to the office and see how things were going.I stepped into my office, greeted by the familiar scent of pack business. I took my shower in the bathroom attached to my office, and got dressed in a fresh pair of jeans and shirt.Alexander briefed me on the latest developments, and I listened intently, signing documents and approving proposals. But my mind kept wandering back to Elodie.There was a shitload of work to do, and for a second, I contemplating sending someone else to the human world.In fact, I would have, if it weren’t for a certain blue-eyed girl.More reasons I needed to see Laila as soon as possible.“How much longer before she will be here?” I looked at my wristwatch, my impatience growing.“You know how she is,” Alexander commented, and I rolled my eyes.That woman sure knew how to push my buttons. With her telepathy skills, if she wasn’t here yet, it was because she didn’t want to come. “Any progress?” Alex asked
I rushed through the desolate streets, my heart heavy with worry. A deadly plague had struck my people, spreading rapidly and mercilessly. I had to reach the makeshift hospital before it was too late.My heart thumped wildly in my chest, and I felt a connection with these people whom I didn’t even know, deeper than anything I’d felt before.As I ran, the shadows seemed to twist and writhe around me, like living darkness. The air was thick with the stench of death and decay. My breath came in ragged gasps, my lungs burning from the effort.Goosebumps erupted on my skin, and the uncanny feeling of being watched, engulfed me.I hastened my steps through the gloomy road, hoping to get away from whatever was lurking in the shadows.Suddenly, a terrifying roar echoed through the streets, making my skin crawl. I glanced over my shoulder, but saw nothing. Yet, the sensation of being watched grew stronger. I picked up speed, my legs pumping furiously.The creature emerged from the darkness, i
Chase’s povI stood outside Elodie's room, my ear pressed against the door as her painful sobs tore through me. Without hesitation, I turned the handle and entered, my eyes adjusting to the dim light. Elodie writhed on her bed, her small frame trembling with fear, and doused in sweat. My gut twisted with a protective instinct I'd never felt before.She looked so small and scared, even till this moment that she was calm, and I felt something I never thought I could feel, much less for a girl more than fifteen years younger than me.The age gap between us was glaring, even as I held her small hand, but the strong urge to protect her from any and every harm filled me with burning rage.There were a lot of questions in my mind.In her sleep, she had been whispering words I could barely make out, but I heard her call her dad.She had never mentioned anything about her father –not like it was a surprise since I barely fucking knew her– but hearing her call out to him with so much pain in he
I woke up with a start, and squinted my eyes from the slow drumming in my head.I slept the most peaceful I had in a very long time, and a satisfied sigh escaped my lips.That was until I felt something hard around my torso, and as if all of my senses that had been asleep, had been activated at the same time, I felt soft breaths tickling the baby hairs at the back of my neck.I already knew who it was since his scent enveloped me like a shroud, but I was ready to yell and ask what he was doing there when the memories of last night came rushing in my mind.I twisted and turned, trying to get a view of his face, but his strong arm held me down, keeping me still.“Stop moving if you want to get out of this bed,” his deep and groggy morning voice made my insides twisted and I purred.The daring part of me wanted to see what he meant by his words, so I squirmed again, pushing myself further into him, and my brows shot up to my forehead when I felt his hard erection.“You really don’t liste
