Steven’s words leave me speechless a moment. Of course there’s nothing wrong with what he said. It’s more than okay to only want to have sex for love. What bothers me right now is how much of a massive ass I’ve been to him. In hindsight, I could clearly see how much I’ve been pressuring him, inten
Still holding me against his chest, Archer sits down on the couch. He finally releases me some, but only so much that I’m not sitting in his lap instead. His arms wrap around me like chains. I’m not against the position entirely, and he’s not hurting me. But it would be nice to do what I wanted and
“I’d worried when I had heard you were in the hospital,” Alpha King Hayes said through the phone. “You should have called me and told me of your condition. I would have done everything in my power to have helped.” Oh, what a cruel, vicious man. How I would love to give him the verbal thrashing of
The phone goes dead, the call cut off. From where I am, with my face smashed against Archer’s chest, I can’t tell if Neil ended the call himself or if the Alpha King hung up. I suppose it doesn’t matter right now, what with the Pyramid in darkness and who knows what potentially breaking in. If the
I sit holding Mia for a time, as the brothers continue to check on things from the safety of the panic room. Steven continues to type away at his computer. Neil is on the phone. He called the electric company first, and now he’s speaking with someone at city hall. Archer and Beau are arguing about
“You’ll always have your claws and teeth,” I remind him. Beau shakes his head. “That’s a last resort. And I sure as hell don’t want to have a bloody werewolf fight with you and Mia in the room.” I concur wholeheartedly about not wanting Mia in that situation, but I’m perfectly capable of endurin
I snooze my alarm and roll over, yet when it sounds a second time ten minutes later, I resolve myself and pull myself out of bed. Wearing my pajamas, with my hair up in a messy bun, I shuffle into the kitchen for coffee. While the maker works its magic, I go into the living room and click on the new
What a vile man, the worst sort of person. I need to train harder. I need to really give it my all, push myself to my limits, so people like him can never make me feel as scared as I was last night. Determined, I hop to my feet and look around the room. As a woman training to be a warrior, I’m n
“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
