FionaJust as fast as he knocked the breath out of me, my senses come back. Does he seriously think I’ll just give in and throw myself at him?“Even facing a broken marriage, I have my dignity,” I snap at Ethan, pulling away from his touch. I can’t make a decision with him touching me. His touch mes
EthanI swallow the sigh that tries to escape as I look down at Fiona. Why did I choose her? Because I have a horny wolf telling me she’s the one.“Why don’t you tell her she’s your mate?” My wolf asks, intently watching Fiona.“Once I tell her, Fiona will have control over me, and I’ll be forced to
Fiona“Can you help me get my inheritance back?” I ask, testing his word. He said he doesn’t make unfair deals, which implies he’ll help me.“I’ve arranged for a lawyer to meet with you tonight,” he tells me. Surprised, I look up at him. When had he done that? Was it before I came to the room or had
He must’ve gotten our information from Ethan beforehand, which will make this a bit easier since we don’t have to start from scratch.“I’ve found that you have a five-million-dollar inheritance, an older house that she was gifted by her parents, and a small house she retained from a charity auction,
Fiona“You have no right to tell me which woman I can choose,” Ethan growls, the anger in his voice making me shiver.His secretary wipes at her tears. She had to know this was coming. There are so many women around Ethan. I mean, he’s momentarily interested in me, but she should remember he’s a bil
We were happy at one point, I thought, but seeing Jack so heated makes me wonder. Was our happy life ever real?“Step back, Jack,” my father warns as I stand at his side. The protective tone makes my heart squeeze when I remember how much time he used to spend with me and my mother. We were a happy
FionaShock rockets through me as Ethan lifts my stepmother into the air with a growl. He moves between us and drops her, sending her to the ground in a crumpled heap.“I don’t hurt women,” Ethan says, “But if I see you harming Fiona again, I may not be so polite again.”The threat sits heavy in the
“That’s just like Isla not to say,” he mutters, “But I was so glad to hear your name when it popped up in conversation. I can’t believe it’s been so long since we’ve seen each other. Come on, take a seat.”I follow him to a small table that already has a coffee cup waiting.Excitedly, Chris dives in
I flip to the next letter and unfold it, finding much neater writing this time. Like with the last letter, Ethan’s handwriting sits in the top right corner. Alex Redding. Age thirteen.Dear Mr. Montgomery, Mrs. Marie said that I could write to you, and it wouldn’t disturb you. I’m the boy you plac
FionaEthan settles against the kitchen counter and looks through the mail. The activity is so mundane, something I didn’t picture him doing, but watching him standing there, I can’t help but move closer and stand beside him.“Anything interesting?” I ask, trying to peek over his arm when he sets al
“We’re here to run,” he answers, smiling then frowning a bit when he looks over at me. There are no lights on in the stadium and no cars in the parking lot, but still, something about this place sends a shot of anxiety through me. “There’s nothing to be nervous about, Fiona. Nothing will happen agai
FionaEthan pulls back slowly, almost as if he doesn’t want to break the kiss. His forehead presses to mine softly while our breaths mix, and the pounding of our hearts take over our senses. My lips tingle, and I wonder if every kiss and every touch will be like this.Every time he touches me, it’s
My plan to test Fiona resurfaces in my mind, and ignoring Zev’s protesting growls, I reach for her. My hands cup the backs of her arms, pulling her a little closer, needing the distance between us to shrink.“Let me buy you a house,” I say.As soon as the words leave my lips, Fiona herks back, her e
EthanI watch Fiona speaking confidently and brightly with the lawyer about her problems. It’s such a difference from the woman I first met. We haven’t known each other long, but her self-conscious and restrained attitude from before has fallen away, leaving a beautiful, self-reliant creature standi
“Of course. I wouldn’t have offered if I didn’t truly want to be with you,” Ethan says, stands from his desk, and grabs his keys. I watch him walk over stare at him, for probably too long, as he holds his hand out to me.The moment my hand is in his, the tingles start up, traveling up my arm and set
FionaI should feel guilty about how unbothered I am that Ethan fired Jack, but I can’t find it in myself to give Jack any more energy than I did. He was a black spot on my conscience and now that he’s gotten part of the punishment he deserves, I honestly feel a bit refreshed.Thinking about Jack be
“You want more?” he whispers, and I nod. “Uh, uh,” he says, curling his fingers and sucking at my clit. Shock after shock of heat shoot into me as he says, “Give me the words, baby.” “P-please, Ethan,” I beg, looking down at him just in time to see him smirk. “As you wish, little mate.” Those w
