XANDER I emptied my wine glass down my throat as I thought of a suitable response that wouldn’t include me pointing out how much I was against being betrothed to a random girl and immediately having my head ripped off my neck by my father. But before I could figure out one, April’s mother spoke on my behalf. “Sweetheart, as much as I was being cordial during their visit, I think you should consider allowing him wait for his mate instead of being hurled into an arranged marriage,” she suggested and for the first time since I knew her, I agreed with her. Just like me, she was only being nice to the Mandels because they were my father’s guest and he’d expect nothing less, but I appreciated that she voiced out her true opinions on the matter because I wouldn’t have been able to do the same. My initial plan was to bore the hell out of them, make their daughter’s life a living hell, and never show up at the altar on the decided wedding day. “Waiting for a mate?” my father’s tone was s
APRILMother’s preferred French brand of white wine finally caught my eye. However, I didn’t even get to lift it from its spot on the shelf before I startled out of my mind from the sound of the door shutting and being bolted. When I turned around and saw Xander with a smirk that made it obvious he was up to no good, I rolled my eyes in annoyance. He always picked the worst times to initiate sex. There’s never been a time when he cornered me that he didn’t want sex. I could see it written all over him as those dangerously stunning blue eyes worked over my body lustfully. I didn’t need a soothsayer to tell me that he was undressing me in that twisted head of his. “What the hell are you doing here?” I hissed at him, determined to make sure he didn’t get his way this time around. “Showing you what happens to errant stepsisters,” he answered in a punishing and cut edge tone but his gaze was elsewhere, drooling for what was beneath my shirt. His eyes snapped from my breasts to my ey
APRIL“You’re not going anywhere, sis,” he pinned me down and started to move inside me again, fucking me even harder than before. At this point, I had to believe that the walls in this house were perfectly sound proofed because nothing else could explain why we were louder than animals in heat and they still hadn’t suspected a thing. That didn’t mean it was a risk I enjoyed taking. Some part of me was till scared out of her mind even though I was delirious with pleasure. “We need to stop,” I pleaded with him again. He chuckled, grabbing my neck and snapping it to look straight ahead. “Because of her?”I felt my breath catch in my throat and my eyes bulged out in horror when I saw my mother standing right in front of us, smacking her lips in the mirror that was resting against the window and checking her lipstick out. “She’s eight there,” I whispered my plea while fighting yet another moan. Xander clearly didn’t give a fuck about getting caught because he refused to relent. His
APRILBlinded by anger, I hadn’t thought before slapping him right across the face. His initial reaction was shock, his lips parted slightly and his eyes bulged out as he realized what I’d done, but I was too pissed at how foolishly he’d just behaved to feel any sort of regret for slapping him.Seconds later, the shock faded into thin air and his eyes turned into angry slits. The next thing I knew, he was grabbing my neck and choking me against the wall while my feet were slightly above the floor. He wasn’t wrapping his eyes tightly enough around my neck to hurt me, he was just making a clear distinction about who was the more powerful being between us in case I’d forgotten. “Despite that foolish decision you just made, I’m willing to be a gentleman for a night,” he smiled at me devilishly, still looking at my body like he was starving even though he’d devoured me whole mere minutes ago. “I won’t take out that lousy slap on you tonight,” he whispered lowly, still smiling and manag
ACEIt’s official, I can’t sleep with another girl besides April. I’ve known it for a while now, but I’ve been in denial about it, and now it’s come back to bite me in the ass. Every single time I’ve gotten an erection in the past week or so, the only person on my mind has been April. However, I’m not the type of guy that seeks out ladies, they flock to me without me having to blink an eye. With April, I fuck her when her smart mouth needs a reset, not because my body’s been craving her, so I refuse to seek her out just because my entire system is confused about what she means to me. But right now, I’m staring to think that I can’t hold on to that resolve for much longer, it’s been getting harder and harder by the day. The only thing that hasn’t been getting hard of recent is my stupid dick. I’ve tried to get it up for a couple of girls over the weekend, but it didn’t work, and so I decided to call Brooke even though I’d rather chew stones than invite her over. I assumed that my
ACEPost cum clarity hit me so hard that I nearly dropped to my knees in sheer agony. The evidence of what I’d just done was spilled all over the bathroom floor, shower walls, my thighs and my palm. I felt an odd wave of anger grip me as I looked down at it, infuriated that thinking of April had made me do something I’d sworn to never do again.Before now, the only other girl whose body and memories I’d masturbated to was the girl I foolishly gave my heart to. And what happened afterwards? She broke it into a million unfixable pieces, ruining me for every other woman I experienced after her. I couldn’t let that be the case with April. I couldn’t let myself fall for another headstrong know-it-all that would end up wringing my heart until it was void of any emotion. Another heartbreak would fucking kill me. And the gods forbid that the almighty Ace dies at the mercy of a woman. I grabbed the detachable shower hose and began to wash away the evidence of my foolishness. I’d lost mysel
BROOKEI could swear that he’d been possessed by someone else’s soul. The person who’d just made me cum before even thrusting into me couldn’t be Ace. He had never kissed me before now, and he’d managed to do it in such a passionate and delicate way that I was completely swept off my feet. He was the kind to just shove his dick down my throat or slam mercilessly into me without warning. It was completely unlike him to be this delicate and intentional about what he was doing to me. It was even more flooring that he’d kissed me and eaten out my pussy like my body was worthy of endless worship. This person that was now kissing me softly while thrusting in and out of me wasn’t the egoistic, heartless, and selfish monster I’d been engaged to all these years. I couldn’t believe how he was touching my body with reverent caution and holding my gaze through every slow and sweet stroke. It was unusual, and my entire body was shaking from the amazing feeling shooting through me. He’d made m
APRIL The air around me was different whenever he was near. Instead of being simply cool, the air always felt like it was drowned in affection and adoration because his hands never left my body. His scent was addictive and filling, warming every inch of my body and wrapping itself around me in a way that made me feel nothing but absolute bliss. The way his hands always wandered to my thighs, arms, neck, back, face…. Literally anywhere he could manage to trail his fingers while we spoke, I loved every second of it. At some point, it seemed like he didn’t even notice how much he always needed to be touching me, but I absolutely adored it. It felt amazing to be craved as constantly as he craved me. “Here it comes, finally,” Nick nudged me in the side and pointed in the sky, but I didn’t look at it immediately, I was too drawn in by how beautifully his gorgeous face glowed under the moonlight as he smiled. For a while, I just enjoyed watching him stare at the clouds above us and it
APRILSoon, his fingers took its place, grazing over my needy and swollen clit in a way that immediately made me cry out in ecstasy. I pressed my eyes shut, leaning my back against the wall and instinctively spreading my thighs further apart to give him more access.He chuckled lowly again and then obliged.With one hand around my waist to hold me to himself, his fingers continued to lazily trace a line from my clit to my pussy lips before teasing my entrance in a way that drove me so fucking crazy. I was breathless already, my chest heaving and my heartbeat thumping in my ears and lower tummy as he continued to torture me.My eyes fluttered open to find him watching me with a depth of desire and passion in his eyes that turned my knees to jelly. He’d never looked at me that way, something about it was different and incredibly stimulating, but I couldn’t place a finger on what was different about his stare. I didn’t even have the energy to figure it out because he was now using the w
APRIL I quickly gathered myself, swallowing and taking a step back. “You should leave,” I told him in a stern tone, but he just gently shut the door behind him. “I just want to get cleaned up, and this is the only bathroom,” he pointed out, “that’s all, trust me,” he raised his hands in surrender.I didn’t trust a word that left those devilishly hot lips of his though, and it was getting harder and harder for me not to look away from his face and at the rest of his gloriously naked, muscled body. I hated myself for being so foolishly attracted to him. “We’re not having sex, Xander. It’s not happening, so don’t get any weird ideas,” I stood my ground, “I mean it, one funny move and you’re getting the boot.”He chuckled lowly, his eyes dancing over my naked body for a few seconds before he responded. “Slow down, princess,” he smirked teasingly, “I’m only here to wash up and as a gentleman, the only reason I’ll be approaching you is to help you scrub your back.” I knew I should’ve
APRILThe next morning, I woke up to the curtains being drawn open and sunlight streaking into the room. At first, I shut my eyes back and tried to force myself to fall back asleep, but the warmth of the sun hitting my skin wouldn’t let me. So, I gave up on that endeavor and decided to just embrace the morning light. So, I yawned and stretched my arms, feeling oddly well rested despite the upsetting events of the last couple of hours. “Rise and shine, princess,” Xander’s deep morning voice was surprisingly soothing, “go brush your teeth, please. I’m asking nicely.” “Princess?” I couldn’t help but repeat, the way he said it soaked something in me that I needed to bury as soon as possible. A grin touched his lips and he ran a hand through his hair in a sinfully hot way that only he could pull off. “Yeah? It suits you,” he winked, “now get off your ass and go brush, you’ll be glad you did when you’re done.”With that, he reached behind him and opened the bathroom door for me while
APRIL After an insufferable dinner, I left Xander in the dining room and headed back to the room for another shower. When I was done, I walked out and was mortified to find him seated on the bed, shirtless and in pajamas pants like he was getting ready to sleep in the same bed as me. I frowned and pulled the strings of my shorts to knot it as I walked towards the bed. “You can’t sleep here,” I deadpanned, stopping at the edge of the bed. He looked at me daringly and then stretched out himself comfortably on the bed before putting his hands behind his head to prop it up. He was a little too comfortable for someone that was getting on my last nerve and I hated how much he seemed to be enjoying every second of frustrating me.If nature wasn’t biased to humans, I’d be kicking his ass to a pulp right now. “I can, and I plan to,” he answered calmly, totally unnerving me like he’d been doing all fucking day long. “Fine, I’ll sleep elsewhere then,” I started to angrily stomp towards the
APRIL Again, my body had betrayed me. I couldn’t believe that I’d enjoyed every second of his touch, knowing fully well that I shouldn’t even be reacting in the slightest to that asshole. There had to be something wrong with me, something deeply disturbing that would explain why I fucked the annoying asshole that kidnapped me and felt nothing but overflowing bliss. I wanted to pluck my eyes out of my skull and drown myself in bleach, I just felt like I needed to punish myself for foolishly succumbing to his touch. I knew better than to let myself be whisked into anymore sexual escapades with Xander after the whole stripper thing blew up in my face, and yet that’s exactly what I allowed to happen. Something told me that I could’ve fought him a little harder. Maybe if I did, he’d have taken the clue and not gone any further, but my dumb body melted under his touch in minutes. It was at the very last second, after I’d had a groundbreaking orgasm, that I came back to my senses like l
XANDER It took me weeks of nearly annihilating my mental health to dust, but I finally found her. The joy I felt when we got the drone footage of April running around with a puppy in a garden while wearing the prettiest white sundress was indescribable. I ate my first real meal that afternoon, and that was a big deal because I hadn’t eaten anything but sour candy since I set out on this search for April. And I’d filled up on wine to stay sane of course. On the worst days, I indulged with vodka as well. But after finding her, my wolf and I regained our appetite instantly. I needed to replenish my strength so I could fuck her as much as I intended to, she was going to feel every last pent up sexual tension that she’d caused for being away from me for so fucking long. After filling up on enough food to regain my true strength, I came up with a simple plan to steal her away from him smoothly, I couldn’t afford any complications that would lead to me not having her all to myself for a
APRIL The shower was barely relaxing, but I got through it quickly and stepped out of the bathroom.Xander was the type to give me his clothes instead of provide me with any new ones, so I was a bit taken aback to see fresh female clothes that looked like they’d come straight off a Forever 21 rack sitting on the bed. “This changes nothing,” I muttered to myself as I shuffled through the cute clothes. Every single one of them was adorable and simple, and that was exactly my style. And since Xander didn’t pay enough attention to me to have picked up on that detail, I knew that a female staff whose style accidentally matched mine must’ve picked them out. Tucking that piece of information in the back of my mind, I threw on a cute pink two piece that did a great job at covering me up than the other outfits in the pile. Then I pulled my hair into a ponytail and stepped out of the room with one purpose on my mind… Escaping from Xander’s tyranny and finding my way back into Nick’s warm em
APRILFor forty fucking minutes, Xander ignored me. I kept snapping at him and telling him how much of an asshole he was for whipping me away against my will, but he didn’t care about my feelings in the slightest. He just kept watching Wrestle Mania reruns on the screen before him and filling up on grapes, cheese, and biscuits. It was so annoying that he seemed to be having the time of his life while I was pissed beyond explanation. At some point, I gave up on getting through to him and tried to stress eat, but everything in sight tasted like cardboard paper in my mind. Eventually, I settled on filling my tummy with champagne while simultaneously trying my hardest to stay sane. “Mr. Xander, we’re preparing for landing,” the pilot announced, “please take the necessary safety measures, and would you like the hostess to buckle in your guest for landing?” “Nah, I’ve got her covered, thank you, Samuel,” Xander answered before immediately getting out of his seat. He stood before me, e
APRIL A groggy feeling made my joints feel wobbly as my eyes reopened. However, I didn't even have time to dwell on that when the first sight that welcomed me was Xander’s face. I turned my head to the side, wondering if I’d been missing him enough to start hallucinating this clearly. How could he be right in front of me? I blinked again in disbelief. Hadn’t I blocked him out of my mind by immersing myself in every moment with Nick? My head felt awfully heavy and I tried to steady myself by pacing my breathing, all while wondering how I was possibly seeing Xander. I wasn’t kissing him nearly enough to have conjured him out of nowhere, Nick was doing an amazing job of making me forget him, that’s for sure., I was about to pinch myself to snap out of whatever dream I was having when the events from before I lost consciousness came flooding in. Someone had covered my mouth with a clothe and immediately I breathed in whatever substance it was drenched in, I immediately passed
