Later, Neil holds me just inside the front door of my penthouse. And, well, I might be holding onto him just as hard.After the night we shared, I’m not ready to let him go yet. If I had my way, we would still be in bed, tangled up in each other and lost to the rest of the world. We’d stay there for
“I’m sorry, Chloe,” Carrie says. “Just do what I say and this will all be over soon.”This close, I can see now that her desperation had less to do with speaking to me and more to get me into her car. And now, as she starts to drive, that desperation has shifted once more, into getting me wherever s
So, while Carrie and I continue to speak, I reach into my pocket and very subtle send a message in the group chat with the brothers. It’s sat quiet since I left. But now…I type, S.O.S. and send.“I’m sorry, Chloe. It’s you or me.”“It won’t be either of us. He’s never going to give you what you wan
The door on Carrie’s side of the car springs open first, and Beau, in human form, grabs her by the arm and yanks her out of her seat. She topples down into the dirt of the construction site. Archer hops off the hood of the car. Through the windows, I can see Neil and Steven, also in wolf form, circl
She tries lifting her head with the same pride she had a moment ago, but her bottom lip shakes this time. No one would believe her a brave woman now.She must have been able to see the truth in Archer’s words. After all, she knows the Alpha King as well, having been his lover, willing or unwilling.
The brothers, Carrie, and I are in the living room of the Pyramid together, and it is the most awkward moment of maybe my entire life.Neil is pacing behind the couch, his phone to his ear. He’s calling in favors, looking for places for Carrie to stay and hide.Steven is doing the same but on his ta
“We tried to help her before,” Archer says.“Maybe it will work this time.”Archer shakes his head. “You are being too optimistic.”“Please, Archer. Just let me try.”He looks at me, and I look back, pushing all of my determination into my face, hoping he can read it. After a moment, he sighs.“When
Eventually, it comes time for Carrie to leave. She holds Mia for as long as she is able, to which Mia seems content with. But Archer’s continuous watch-checking, Neil’s apologetic interruptions, and Beau’s annoyed throat-clearing soon tell Carrie it’s time to let go.“I’ll be back for you, my precio
“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
