A low growl emits from the back of Archer’s throat. I wonder if he even knows he’s doing it. I still haven’t told him my plans, but he must be suspecting I want to leave the Pyramid. Surely, if I explain it, he’ll understand, right? No. I know better than that. Archer’s more liable to tie me up in
Archer pries the frame from my twitching fingers and tosses it to the side. “Come on,” he says, directing me. “Let’s get the things on your list.” I’m in shock. I must be, because my body isn’t listening to my brain. “Where’s the list?” Archer asks. With shaking hands I manage to reach into my
“Leave it to me, Chloe,” Steven says. He lifts his chin, pride covering the guilt in his eyes. “While we are there, I will secretly install a new security system. We’ll be able to keep regular tabs on your family.” “If it works,” Archer grunts. “It will work,” Steven snaps back. He’s more confid
I’m a deer in headlights, except I’m trapped in a situation totally of my own design. I don’t have the slightest clue how to explain to my mom my current relationship with the brothers. We’re not dating, but we’re not nothing. Friends with benefits doesn’t quite feel right either, not even with Be
The ride to Mom’s is tense but quiet. Since marrying Isaac, she’s moved into a nice part of town, with mansions, big back yards, and tall rod-iron fences. Between ever house, it seems like there’s an actual park with benches and trees and flowers. It’s beautiful really, but it doesn’t feel like ho
We all turn around to head back to the car. No one says anything and the tension is thick. When Wyatt sees the packed trunk, he grunts. “You assholes staying for a month or what?” Archer glares at Wyatt like he’s planning on ripping his head off. Beau narrows his eyes like he fully intends to he
“Why the hell would you go to war with the most powerful man in the entire world?” Wyatt grunts. By now, the worst of the tension has passed. Archer has stepped back, allowing Wyatt to stretch his back and catch his breath. I’ve moved away to collect my dirtied belongings off the ground and mind
All the brothers could still be jerks sometimes. With our baggage in hand, we return to the house. Wyatt is nowhere to be seen, but Isaac is glaring up the stairs. They must have had a fight. When Isaac sees us coming, his face shifts into a more warm expression, though some tightness still remain
“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
