I wake up in the morning incredibly disoriented. I was half expecting to wake up in the front seat of Archer’s jeep. In the comfort of my own silk sheets was a shock. I wipe the sleep from my eyes and check my alarm clock. Four AM. Mia’s feeding isn’t for another two hours. I roll over to look at
The other hand reaches out and gathers all of her hair together. He pulls, hard and the women is pulled off the bench. Her exposed chest is out towards the air. I hide behind the door and close my eyes. But, I’m still close enough that I can hear all of Archer’s words. “You like that slut?” he gru
The next morning, or rather like three hours after I saw Beau, Mia and I leave our room. Mia is her bubbly old self, grinning so wide, dimples form in her plump cheeks. I look like the crypt keeper. I’m delusional with the lack of sleep. So much so that I run into someone in the hallway. “Shit, so
“I’m staff, right?” I say. “Er – the brothers told me to use that one.” Angela shakes her head and then snaps her fingers twice. The car lurches and were off down the road. The drive is quick, only to the parlour on campus. Angela tells me we’ll be having tea. I’m not sure what that entails but I’
The next day, I think I’m about to die in biology class. I, apparently, put something wrong in the beaker that Debbie and I are working on. It fizzles up and over the top and stains the counter a balmy shade of red. Our teacher scrambles to get it cleaned up and waves her hands all over the place.
I tentatively approach the teacher’s desk after everyone leaves the class. She smiles sadly at me and stands from her desk. “Miss Kissimet, I see you got my note,” she says. “I didn’t get a single one right?!” I exclaim, slapping the paper on her desk. She looks at it then looks back at me. She
I spend the better part of that night being absolutely and completely confused by what happened with Steven. All four brothers made it very clear to me that they were not into me. Like, at all. Now I’ve had weird, pretty flirty interactions with three of them. The forth one has a girlfriend so I’m
I drop Mia off with Archer before heading to classes. He’s locked in to something he’s reading and doesn’t say a word as I put Mia in her playpen. I tell him I’ll be back after classes and he grunts a reply. They wind up being as boring as ever. Although, I can’t help but blush when I get a physic
I’m happy because I have four hearts beating alongside mine.“Do you feel it, too?” I ask. “My connection to each of you?”I blink my eyes open once more. I want to see their faces, their reactions.Neil has his hand over his own heart. “It’s strange. It’s like part of you is inside of me.”“Me, too
In the darkness of my mind, I floated, surrounded by the comforting embrace of love. Distantly, I could feel another presence, one that grew stronger and stronger, the more I focused on it: my wolf.As I thought of her, she appeared before me as if I willed her into being. Maybe I did. We are in my
Damn alpha wolves and their heightened senses.“I’ve already made my choice,” I say. “Honestly, I think I made it a long, long time ago.”Archer relaxes marginally. Steven starts to smile.Neil turns to me, worry still on his face. “You say that now, Chloe. But the pull could be strong…”“I don’t ca
The eve of my birthday, I rest in bed and stare at my ceiling. It’s late, near midnight, but I still have my bedside light on.With my feelings shared and grown with Neil, Archer, and Steven, I didn’t expect to spend any night alone, especially the one right before the day that could change everythi
I awake to a sharp knock on my bedroom door. Neil’s arm is still draped over me but some distance had inched between our hot bodies in the night. I’m able to slink out from under his arm without him waking.Naked, I quickly stop by the bathroom to throw on my fluffy bathrobe. Then, after glancing ba
They.Beau glances at me and see my incredulous look. “What do I need to go out every night? Can’t a man just enjoy staying home for a change?”“You can do whatever the hell you want,” I say.“Good, then.” Beau slumps down on the couch. He stretches out, lifting his feet up and into my lap. “Now tel
For the rest of the morning, I desperately try not to think about Neil. Whoever he’s in love with, I won’t be offended by it. The hurt I feel has nothing to do with this new person. She must be great for her to have won Neil’s affections.The hurt is my own loss, my own problem. I let my feelings fo
After Steven and I have cleaned ourselves up with a quick shower, we fall back into bed together, giggling and laughing all the way. My now, Steven has discovered a few of my tickle zones, which he is exploiting. As revenge, I touch the places I now know make him shiver.For a while, nothing seems l
His hands fumbled with the buttons of his own shirt. Such usually steady hands are rendered useless by his nervousness.“Allow me,” I tell him. I lightly bat his hands out of the way before replacing them with mine on his shirt buttons. My times with Neil have served me well. I’m able to undo all th
