REJECTED MATE 59.2
Heat rose to my cheeks, and my heart made an excited flutter. Griff had never once complimented me on my looks. Somewhere in the back of my mind, Beki barked something, but I was too lost in his scent, in the taste of his flesh, and in the sounds he was making to decipher her meaning.I hummed around my mouthful, making his knees buckle, and a surge of arousal went straight to my core.“Shit,” he hissed. “What are you doing to me, woman?”Pride swelled in my chest. Right now, I held Griff captive—not because of my power. It was the giddiest sensation, but I wanted more.I was so hot, so wet, so needy. The fabric of my hoody itched against my sensitive flesh, and my knickers felt too tight.As I squeezed him around the base with one hand, I reached into the waistband of my pants with another.Griff gasped. “Are you touching yourself?”I nodded around his girth.He moaned. “I turn you on that much.”I gave him an affirmative hum.“Let me lick your wet pussy,” he said. “Get on the bed, s

I sucked in a deep breath, trying to stop Griff’s words from echoing through my skull. He lay opposite me on the mattress, his amber eyes gazing into mine. From the giddy smile curving his lips, it looked like he had meant every word.My lips parted, but all I could do was exhale. Maybe that trip to the cinema had been a turning point in our relationship that I had ruined out of a sense of wanting control, but this blowjob I’d given him just sent us down a path of intimacy that would lead to love.If I didn’t slow things down between us, he would feel even more betrayed when he regained the memory of his death. I whispered, “Griff—”“I already know your response,” he said. “It’s impossible for someone to feel love after getting their cock sucked, but I’ve admired you for over a year. And I know you feel the same.”“That’s not it,” I said.He flinched backward and stared at me as though struck.The train sped through the tunnel under the sea, casting a range of colored light through th

Griff wrapped an arm around my shoulder and tucked me into his side. “Last night, after I walked you back to your mansion’s gates, I knew things would change between us.”“What do you mean?” I placed a hand on his hairy thigh.“I finally got a glimpse of the sensual woman beneath your cool exterior.” He chuckled. “It was like opening Pandora’s box and only getting the white butterflies.”My lips curled into a smile. Little did Griff know that my actions the next day had set us back several months.“When we get to London, we’ll get an advocate who specializes in faerie contracts.”“Good idea,” he said. “Do you know any?”“I can look them up on your phone.”Griff grunted his approval. “You’ll have to teach me to use that thing.”An announcement on the loudspeaker warned the train would be approaching Lower Santorini in ten minutes, so we drew the curtains, enclosing ourselves in the dark.Griff laid me on the mattress and positioned himself on top of me, placing slow kisses over my neck

She tilted her head from side to side, which was her way of expressing maybe.“You’re saying that some of them wanted me?”She nodded.“Why didn't you say something?”She flicked her head toward the door.“Because you already wanted Griff?”Beki pushed against our bond, sending me a wave of annoyance. She didn’t have to express what she wanted to tell me in words. I was being an idiot.Part of me had fallen for Griff the moment our eyes locked. He was handsome and stylish and had a way about him that was different from usual wolves in Logris.Griff had been cultured, sophisticated, and full of exciting stories about his overseas exploits. Exploits that I now knew were either exaggerated or false. And he had the nerve to criticize me for acting a certain way?“What was I supposed to do?” I spat. “Mould my personality around his, the way he molded the truth to grab my attention?”Becki shook her head. My wolf wasn’t agreeing or disagreeing. I guess she was stuck in the middle, caught be

I stretched out in the tub and stared up at Griff, waiting for him to elaborate on his plan to get the faeries to break his curse. Instead of speaking, he stared down at me, his eyes hooded.“Griff?” I tilted my head.He swept his gaze from my face, down the tops of my breasts, and into the opaque, pink liquid. Steam rose from its surface, as did a small covering of bubbles, obscuring his view of my body.“Is there room for one more in that tub?” he asked, his voice husky.The muscles of my core clenched with need, but I wasn’t going to allow myself to get swept up away by Griff’s animal magnetism.I sank further into the warm water, so it covered my collarbones. “If you want a bath, you can wait your turn. Now, what were you saying about the faeries?”Griff sat on the edge of the tub and placed his hand in the water. “Without your title or the Supernatural Council’s backup, entering faerie territory will be dangerous.”“All right.” I sat up a little straighter.His fingertips grazed

For the next several hours of our journey, we focused on acquainting ourselves with 2021 and how Logris had split itself into eight villages, each occupying different locations across London. We also searched Supernatural Media and found the casino where his father had gotten into trouble with the faeries.We arrived at London Central station at six in the evening, which was peak rush hour for both humans and supernaturals. Everyone disembarked, flooding a platform that was equally as grand as the one in Atlantis Central.Brass lights hung down from above, looking like tiny balls of sunlight, and some of the pillars supporting its vaulted ceilings contained tiles that formed part of the murals that decorated the station. Artistic renditions of angels flew above us, with demons, vampires, and faeries occupying the walls.I glanced around for images of the so-called lesser supernaturals—mages, witches, and shifters—but there was nothing apart from a few ordinary-looking people on the mu

She replaced the underwear with a nude variety without the fake bikini line. “That won’t be necessary. Please accept my most sincere apologies.”Over the next few minutes, she placed a selection of clothes on our reflections. Griff’s outfits were easy. Men only needed to wear tuxedos, and with his perfect body and golden skin, everything he tried looked breathtaking.My situation was trickier. Even in this smaller body, I was still taller than the average woman with broad shoulders, and I had boobs that either gave me too much cleavage or looked awkward in the high-necked dresses. I glanced at the shop assistant, whose puzzled features indicated that she wasn’t trying to put me in unflattering outfits.“Do you have a catalogue?” Griff asked.She reached into the pocket of her smock and extracted her phone. “Our selection is quite extensive, but the Seelie Casino has a very strict dress code, which limits our options.”As Griff stood beside the assistant and watched her tap commands in

When we stepped out of London Central station, the Euston Road was chockablock with black cabs, red double-deckers, and scooters trying to weave their way through the traffic. The last vestiges of sunlight colored the sky a deep crimson, but it was nothing compared to the acrid stench of smog.A familiar silver Überwald awaited us on the curb, its window winding down. My gaze darted to Griff, who I expected would make a comment about Wulfie, but he glanced from side to side, his eyes wide.“Since when did London get so busy?” He shook his head. “And the cars…”“They’re like bubbles compared to what they were like in our time.” I looped my arm through Griff’s and nodded in the direction of the silver vehicle. “Our cab’s waiting.”Wulfie did a double-take as we confirmed our booking, his mouth gaping open. “You two scrub up well.”Eyes brightening, Griff offered the driver his hand. “Thanks, man.”The other man’s brows furrowed, and he drew back. I guessed he was so used to hostility fr
