The next morning, I shuffle down in my dirty clothes to the garage and retrieve my laundry. Blessedly, it is dry. So I take it back upstairs to fold.It’s so nice to wear my own panties again. And clean clothes on top of that! Actual bliss. I feel like I could take on anything now.When I start to h
At once, Archer gives me what I desire. Pressing harder against my clit, he rubs it in small circles. I buck and sway my hips, following his fingers in a tantric dance.I forget about my sudsy hands and reach back, clawing at Archer’s wide shoulder with a wet soapy hand. He lifts his head from my ne
“In a bid for petty revenge, they’ve chosen to sow the seeds of chaos,” the Alpha King continued. “They are spreading lies about my health. They are supporting my political opponents. I have reason to believe they have even conspired against me in other ways, which I will not go into here for the sa
Neil sighs before any fight between Archer and I can truly begin. “We can argue about whether Chloe should join us later. We need to plan an overall course of action now.”“Your bullshit planning is what got everyone into this mess to begin with,” Wyatt snaps. He was crossing his arms over his chest
He holds up his hand, stopping her. “I’m… alright…” He coughs again, but it’s not as bad as before.From the tight expressions on Wyatt and my mom’s faces, but the otherwise resigned way they are reacting, I can guess this isn’t the first time this has happened.Is Isaac sick or something? Mom never
I storm back into the house, leaving Neil alone on the back patio.By now, I’m certain that my second load of laundry is ready, so I swing by the garage to pick it up. Then, I lug it upstairs to sort and fold. I haven’t gotten very far when Beau waltzes straight into my room without knocking.Grante
After an hour of sex and ten minutes of holding each other and then cleaning up, I roll over to look morosely at my ‘clean’ laundry now spread across the floor.“Am I going to have to wash this again?” I ask.“How dirty is your floor?” Beau asks.The floor, at this point, is much cleaner than the be
Everyone’s attention turns to Archer. He shrugs. “They were busy.”Beau laughs. “That’s one way of putting it.”My face burns hot. I only nearly resist the urge to smack Beau upside the head. My Mom is right there.I hope my glare tells him enough.He has the decency to stop laughing at least. He ke
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
