“I guess,” said the first. “Angela is so lucky,” said the third, a girl with a dreamy look in her eyes. “Neil is the perfect man. I bet he’ll make a great husband.” I glower without meaning to, and force myself to stop paying attention. My legs feel sluggish but I push myself forward. I don’t wa
By the time I return to the Pyramid after class, my entire body is shaking. My nose is running. I feel burning hot one minute, and then freezing cold the next. I pass through the living room. Beau spots me first. “You look like shit,” he says. “Thanks a lot,” I grumble, too tired to do much mo
“Thank… you…” My eyes flutter closed. A hand touches my forehead and lightly brushes back some damp hairs from my skin. “Get better,” Archer says. And I’m definitely hallucinating now, because I’ve never heard his voice that soft before. I drift away with thoughts of Archer, and wake up to see
Beau flips open the book. “How about I read you a chapter? That should take your mind off of things.” My cheeks burn, and it has nothing to do with any remnant fever. “I don’t think that –” “You can get off if you want. I won’t judge.” “I will not!” I cover my face with my hands. Beau shrugs
You can get off if you want to. I won’t judge. He probably wouldn’t even tell anyone. I’d be barely a blip on his radar. He might not even notice. “Gods, it takes three pages to get her full naked. Ah, here we go. ‘She falls back against the wall. With her thighs draped over his wide shoulders,
It takes a couple of more days before I start truly feeling like my old self again. My illness still sits heavy in my bones. Being bedridden for so long made me feel sluggish and tired. How many hours have I slept the past few days? I was definitely asleep more than I was awake. But now, I can at
Neil snaps back into himself in the next moment and shoves me away. “Neil,” I say, my voice tight. I can’t help it, my fury is raising on his behalf. Especially because he seems so damn calm about this horrible thing on his chest. “What the hell is this?” “No one asked you to look,” he snaps, bu
Beau POV Beau pushes himself into this woman’s wet pussy. It’s tight and hot, and while this woman’s face isn’t much to look at, her pussy is, at least, top tier. “Oh, Beauuuuu….!” she moans, and her voice is really not the best either. Too whiny? Too much emphasis on the ew of Beau’s name? Wh
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
