The phone pressed hard to my ear, I stand outside the lecture hall, tucked behind the door near the smoker’s bench. It’s the only empty spot this time of day, with so many busy students walking around. I don’t have time to find somewhere more secluded. I need to talk to my Mom right now. With Wyat
As I rest in bed in the night, I stare at the ceiling, reflecting over the absolute bullshit that Archer just threw at me. What did he say? To just get out when my contract is up? Forget staying there with them? So much for wanting to protect me. I don’t want to think too much about it. It was
It’s past time I start pulling away from them. But that doesn’t mean I have to be a total douche. I can still give Beau an answer, even if it’s not the fully honest one. “I’m nervous about meeting the undergraduate administration,” I say. “It’s a lot of change, and I’m not even sure they’ll have
Beau walks in through the door. He stops when he sees me standing there, facing him. I have no idea what kind of expression I’m wearing it, but the moment Beau sees it, his usual lazy smile hardens into the no nonsense kind of look I’d expect Neil or Archer to wear. “Did you get what you needed?”
Beau and I somehow end up on the carpet at the base of the couch. By now, we are both naked, limbs tangled, with bliss coursing through my veins. With my head resting on Beau’s chest, I counted the steady beat of his heart, as he gently carded his fingers through my hair near my scalp. Moments l
That night Steven, Mia, and I make our way to the planetarium. I push Mia in her stroller while Steven walks along beside us. He’s close to me. His arm occasionally brushes against mine as we walk. The planetarium is decorated in bright, colorful shapes and big block letters cut out of constructio
I must be some kind of masochist, wanting rejections from all four of the brothers, one after the next. When Mia’s eyes begin to droop, I look back to Steven. He’s holding his credit card up to the vending machine. He already has two waters and three candy bars in his arms. On his way back to us,
Even as I’m walking toward her, I’m surprised when Carrie doesn’t move away or attempt to disappear, like she has done so in the past. This confirms my earlier suspicion that she really just wants to talk to me. I come to stand beside her. Her gaze has flitted past me and now looks at her resting
“Archer…” I start, but I’m still not sure. I don’t want to ruin the surprise. After all, he could just be guessing. The taxi pulls up in front of City Hall. Stepping out onto the sidewalk, I’m immediately bombarded with the flashes of cameras and the shouts of questions. “Mrs. Hayes!” the call f
“It hasn’t even been that long since I left them,” I tell Archer as he and I ride side by side in the back of a truck away from the border lands and back towards home. “But everyone’s so anxious.” I can feel it through the bond. “Can you blame them?” Archer asks. “Their mate is living a life as a
“You’ve been fucked all night, but it’s not enough, is it? You need this dick.” He takes himself in hand and slowly begins to stroke from base to tip. A bead of precum glistens at his slit. I lick my lips, desperate to taste it. “You want to suck my dick, slut?” Archer asks. He steps closer to m
When I awaken, I’m cradled in the safety of Neil’s arms, my cheek to his chest with him carding his fingers through my hair. Lifting my head, he pauses, watching me as I take in our surroundings. This bed has gotten lower somehow or… wait… “We broke the bed,” I say, looking around. “Yes,” Neil
“Show me,” he says. I know what he’s asking me to do. Slowly I place my hands on my shoulders, then trail them down, gently massaging my breasts. I pluck my nipples, gasping. It’s only partially for show. With how much I’ve explored my body while sleeping with these brothers, I know exactly what I
I’m not sure how long I’m on that roof, with Beau holding me in his arms. Gently, he licks at the mark he’s made as if attempting to soothe it. It’s already healed, I can tell, though it never really hurt when he gave it to me. The opposite, actually. “You really are incredible, Nanny,” Beau says,
After snooping, his ear pressed to the door to Steven’s lab, Beau storms back toward the living room where his other brother’s await, furious. “He’s fucking her!” Archer tenses at once, sharing Beau’s outrage. Neil seems annoyed but remains infuriatingly calm like normal. “We’ll each get our t
He glances back at me like clockwork. This time, his eyes widen, seeing my new position. His nostrils flare, scenting the air. I’m not unaffected either, not by any of this. The brothers feel a pull to me, but I feel that pull four times over. I want their bites. I need their bites. That they
As the four brothers look at me with desire burning in their eyes, exhilaration and anticipation rush through me. For so long, I worried about who my mate might be and how I could manage to stay with the Hayes brothers. Now that I belong to them – almost officially, soon as I have their bites – I ca
