Surrender Freely: Lyker's Redemption Sleeping beauty
AITHAN I slept soundly until a call woke me up. Yawning, I reached for the phone I placed on the bedside table. I didn't check the caller's ID before I picked up the call, letting out a drowsy, “Hello.”The chuckle from the other end caused me to sit up on the bed. I rubbed my eyes furiously and stared down at the phone, instantly turning red when I saw his name.“Lex?” I whispered, afraid someone might be by my door, listening to the conversation. He was the only Alex I knew, so Viktor would undoubtedly know he was the one I was speaking with, even without me having to spell it all out. “Did I wake the sleeping beauty?” He teased, still chuckling. “I'm sorry about that, my dear. I just wanted to hear your voice. I didn't know you were sleeping.”“It's alright.” I yawned again. “I've rested enough.” I leaned on my headboard. “I can't believe I slept for 5 hours straight. You are a damned monster, you know?”“Who was it that kept begging me to continue? Don't heap the blame on me and

As I entered the study, Viktor looked up from the papers he was reading, his eyes narrowing slightly as he took in my appearance. He knew even before I opened my mouth that I was leaving the house. No one dresses up just to lurk around the house. “Aithan, you look… refreshed,” he said in his best neutral voice. “Had enough rest?”I nodded, smiling at him. He didn't sound suspicious, which was a welcome to the tone he used on me when I returned a few hours ago. “Yes, I slept well. Sorry, I forgot about our meeting. I overslept and only recalled it now.”At least I didn't lie about it. Had I not gone over to tell him I was stepping out, I wouldn't have remembered at all. Viktor's expression turned sceptical, but he didn't press the issue. He let out a soft sigh as he leaned on his chair and gave me an appraisal once more before picking up some files.“Very well. Let's get down to business. I've been receiving reports of some… unusual activities in the area. I want you to look into it

ALEXMy soul left my body when I saw him fall. I had been so happy to see him, impatient to show him all I had planned for the date that I didn't even fucking check out the surroundings. I didn't think anyone would make an attempt on his life since no one knew our location. Wrong. I was mistaken about that. Whoever did this must have followed me, carefully staying in the shadows without detection, something that wouldn't have been possible if I wasn't that eager to meet Ly. I would have known someone was tailing me had I not been too focused on the date. It was my bad for not paying attention. I carried Ly up from the ground after making certain we were alone. Whoever shot him must have been confident in their skills. Why else would they disappear after two shots without checking to know if he was dead? I carried him towards my car and gently placed him in the back seat. Just when I was about to rise so I could go over to the driver's side, he called out to me. “Take me home,” he

“Is there any problem?” The last I checked, there wasn't any reason he would ask me to meet him. I had already told him about the shooting, hadn't I? It wasn't as if I had anything else to talk to him about. Well, unless it was about Aithan. “You will know when you meet him. He asked me to bring you over." “Oh. I see.”I nodded, feeling a sense of uncertainty. What did Viktor want to talk to me about? Could he be suspecting me of harming Aithan? That wasn't possible, right? I wouldn't have brought him back to the house if I was the one who shot him. But you could never tell the heart of another, especially an angry father.“Lead the way then.” I forced a smile at the man, gesturing for him to start walking.“Don't worry, he won't do anything to you with Aithan in the house. That's not his way," the man whispered, his words trying to reassure me I had nothing to fear before he turned and started for the stairs. Choosing to believe those words, I followed him up the stairs and throug

I didn't know how I left the house. After those words, I didn't get the strength to argue with him. He was right. Aithan would always choose him should it come to that. He had proven countlessly that his loyalty was with Viktor. While I didn't have any issues defying my father for him, Aithan would never do that for me. He loves his father too much to disobey him. He might have agreed to date me secretly, but that didn't mean he wouldn't go back on his promise should Viktor ask him to do that. I walked back to my car with my shoulders hunched. I wasn't giving up; you see. I was just too hung up on the words Viktor said to me. A knock on the window brought my mind back to the present. Frowning, I looked up at the person standing outside my window. It was the same man who had been helping me. The platinum blonde man. His honey-brown eyes stared at me, waiting for me to roll down the window, and I did. “What's wrong? Don't tell me Viktor still had things he wishes to discuss?” I lift

AITHANI slowly opened my eyes, groggily taking in my surroundings. I was in my bedroom, lying in my bed. But how did I get here? The last thing I recalled was…Pain rushed through my head, making me wince from the onslaught. I tried to sit up, but a wave of dizziness washed over me, forcing me back onto the pillows.What the hell happened to me? I thought back to my date with Alex, and then…and then someone shot me. I remembered feeling a searing burn in my arm, and then everything went black. I could only recall fragments of conversation with Alex when I asked him to take me home, despite his reluctance to do that. He wanted to take me to the hospital, but I insisted on going home. As we didn't know who shot me or why they did that, my house was the safest place at that moment. I looked down at my arm, seeing that it was bandaged and wrapped in a sling. They must have shot me there, I thought, trying to piece together the events of the last time I was awake.As I lay there, tryin

Viktor didn't show up in my room throughout that day. Pink was the one who came to help me with my bath and food. It was from him that I knew how upset Viktor was.“He's furious, isn't he?”“I haven't seen your father as pissed as he was when he asked me to take care of you.” Pink sat on my bed, looking at me with a concerned look. “Are you okay?”“I guess.” I let out a sigh. I wasn't okay. Not with Viktor this angry at me. It made me feel like such a failure…if only I could stop loving Alex. It would be better for us. “How do you stop loving someone?” I asked Pink before I could stop myself. "How can I get my heart to stop beating fast each time I see him?" It would be better if I could return to those days when he felt like a thorn in my side.Pink's expression softened, and he reached out to gently brush a strand of hair out of my face. He held my hand and pressed lightly, his eyes gently smiling with his lips. “I don't think you can." He smiled sadly, his expression distant. “L

ALEXI wiped the blood on my face as my gaze took in the bodies on the ground. I was exhausted. For two days I had been on the road, tracing the men who hurt my Ly.It wasn't challenging to trace them as the bastard left his ID behind. It went to show how careless they were. With the ID, it wasn't difficult to trace them. I discovered they lived in the state next to ours and left to find them.Their hideouts, just like the info about them, aren't that problematic to find. All I needed was to say the name, and they got pointed out. Looking down at the pile of bodies on the ground, I felt no remorse. The only thing I felt was regret. They died too easily. If only I could have drawn out their death, it would have been better.“Please don't kill me!” the only one I left alive pleaded, raising his hands towards me. “We only did what they sent us to. It was just a job!”I stalked towards him, wiping the blood on my lips. The fear in his eyes as I advanced towards him was enough to make me

AITHANWhat was more embarrassing than your best friend knowing you were about to get it? Nothing. Okay, your father knowing about it sounded worse than that. I would be damned embarrassed should Viktor know of it. I wouldn't be able to look him in the eyes. 'It's not as if he didn't know you were already getting it.' Tan rolled his eyes. 'You make it sound like he's a kid that doesn't know what goes on in the bedroom.' 'He knew, but it doesn't mean he knows I'm the one getting banged from behind.' 'Everyone can tell, darling. You are smaller than Alex. He wouldn't be the one getting it.' 'Shut the fuck up!''Says the man who's going to get his mouth shut with a meaty dick.' And just like he always did each time he wanted to rile me up, he closed our connection, so I wouldn't tell him what I thought of his words. “Still thinking of what he said?” Alex grazed my left cheek. “You don't need to be upset about his words.”“Who said I'm worried about that?” I knelt and burrowed my f

ALEX“The marks?”“Huh?” He tilted his head to the side, blinking cutely like a puppy. “What about the marks you will get? How will you hide it from your father and —”“We are werewolves, Alex. Have you forgotten?” He leaned back on his heels and my hold on the necktie slipped, giving him enough chance to do what he wanted. He slid his polo over his head and pointed to the places the marks from the gunshots should have been. “See? It's all gone now. The only marks that remain on our body are the deep ones. You make it sound like you don't know what I'm talking about." Is it crazy my gaze was on his nipples the entire time? The pert little things were calling out to me in a way that made it difficult for me to resist them. I had to tear my gaze away from them to focus on Aithan, who was waiting for a response. I doubt he knew what I had in mind, couldn't tell I wanted to tug hard on his nipples. They would look good in nipple clamp, one I will have to tug hard on when I have it fixed

“Is that a promise, Ly?” He brushed his thumb on my lips and smiled down at me, his eyes crinkling. “Slut,” I corrected. “Huh?”“I'm your slut, remember?” I caressed his dick through his slacks, still keeping that sultry expression on my face. For the first time since we got together, I was ready to show him how wild I could be, to let him know the demon bottled within me, eager to be let out of the confines. It was time to make him see me for whom I really was. “I love the sound.” He straightened and walked away from me. For a moment, I thought my words scared away him despite looking pleased by them, but he returned after getting something from his drawer. “A tie?” I frowned. “What are you going to do with that?”“What do you think?” He leaned down, so we were eyeball to eyeball and wrapped the necktie around my neck. He yanked me towards him and a shocked gasp left my lips.Strangely, the pain made my dick harden to the point of pain. This was it. Alex was finally giving me wha

Alex broke away from the kiss. Panting, he placed his forehead on mine and smiled. “I missed you, darling.”“I do too.”Panting, I stared into his eyes, getting drawn into the hazel eyes I fell in love with. It felt like he was drawing me, trying to suck me into a world that was solely his. I didn't fight the pool. I lost the fight when I told him about my feelings. It didn't feel necessary anymore.“I love you, Ly. Never doubt that.”I didn't need to. No one could fake that expression. I could tell he meant those words. He placed his hand under my jaw and lifted my gaze to his. Smiling, he placed another kiss on my lips. “What do you want us to do?” His gaze was suggestive. I knew what he wanted, but acted like I didn't. Batting my eyes, I peered up at him through my lashes. “What do you want us to do?”“You don't know?” He tugged me closer. “Let's see…”His eyes sparkled, the orb filled with mischief. “What do you want me to do to you, darling?”“What can you do?”I was teasing h
Surrender Freely: Lyker's Redemption Being cautious
AITHANI had so many things to talk to him about on the ride to his casino. I wanted to ask why he didn't call me when I expected him to, and what he needed to talk to me about, but he didn't seem that comfortable with Pink. I could tell from the time he saw him. He looked like he was contemplating ways of kicking Pink out without angering me. He wasn't even trying to conceal his feelings.I had to turn my focus on the trees we were racing past to avoid ogling Alex. The black shirt he was putting on should have been damned illegal. It hugged his body in the right places, showing off his ripped chest, a part of his body that was solely mine. Tearing my gaze away from his body was a reasonable choice. With Pink and his sensitive nose in the car, it wouldn't be difficult for him to smell my arousal. I had to keep my damned thoughts out of the gutter! The minute we walked into his casino, Alex turned to me with a pleading expression. “Can I speak with you alone? If you don't trust me en

ALEX I drummed my fingers on the steering wheel, humming to ease my nerves. The sun had gone down, but it was still bright out. The night was yet to come, which made it the perfect time for a romantic getaway. It was such a pity we wouldn't be doing that. I only called Aithan to fill him up on what I had been up to and to ask if he was interested in seeking Maximo out with me.I ignored the intense desire to protect him from Maximo, knowing he wouldn't be thrilled to know I ventured out alone without telling him.As I waited patiently for him, I kept on checking the time, praying for the minute to run faster. I arrived an hour early to wait for him, eager to see him. The minute my phone beeped to let me know it was time — I set an alarm — I saw him coming towards my car. My lips lifted at the sight of my lover, only for my joy to dampen when I realized he wasn't alone. He was coming over with the blonde man, who was kind enough to give me his number, so I could contact Aithan. Frow
Surrender Freely: Lyker's Redemption Will he hurt me?
With Viktor out, leaving wouldn't be that difficult. I could just take Pink with me to ensure my safety. Not like I was suspecting Alex. Marcus was the one I didn't trust. I had to be cautious, to thread carefully with them.“Perfect. See you later, darling. I love you.”Those last three words warmed my heart. It sounded so beautiful coming from him. “I love you too,” I responded, confident about my feelings. “I love you more,” he insisted before he disconnected, so I wouldn't argue with him about who loves the other more. With the call disconnected, I let out a sigh and plopped down on the bed just as Pink opened the door and looked in.“Am I safe to step in?”“Of course.” I raised his phone. “He asked me to meet him by 6, and —”“I'm coming with you.” He reached for his phone. “You are not talking me out of it this time.”“I know you will say that.” I sat up on the bed, yawning. “I'm not talking you out of anything. You are coming with me.”I had already decided on that. Taking
Surrender Freely: Lyker's Redemption Why now?
AITHAN Pink rushed into my room a few hours later, panting, as he waved his phone in my face. “He called,” he let out as he tried to catch his breath.I sat up on the bed, with my heart thudding loudly in my chest. I knew who he was talking about. Alex was the only one I had been waiting to reach out to me. To have Pink run this fast just to reach me, he must be the one. “Who?” I demanded, despite knowing the response. “Alex.” He passed the phone over to me and plopped down on my bed. “I asked him to call you back in the next 5 min —”The phone started ringing immediately, cutting his words off. I glanced down at it, at the number I knew too well belonged to him, but I didn't answer the call. I watched the phone ring until it stopped. “Why didn't you answer it?” Pink sat up, frowning as he looked from his phone to my face and back at his phone. “Weren't you expecting his calls?”“That doesn't mean I have to answer him now.” I folded my arms, stubbornly glaring at the phone as it s

“Which is?”“How much do you love him? The Aithan father spoke about.”“I… Well …” My lips lifted in a smile. “I love him so much. I doubt I can even explain it. There's this feeling I have for him, one I haven't had with anyone before.” I couldn't stop smiling. Talking about Aithan makes me feel fulfilled. “What do you like about him?”“Aithan is…he's a wonderful man.” My eyes drifted off as I thought about him. “He's kind, so kind that it's almost unbelievable. He has this way of making me feel like I'm the only person in the world.” I smiled down at her. “He makes me feel special and gives me something to fight for. He made me fight for things I love and to stand firm in my decisions.”I beamed, feeling a warmth spread through my chest. This was the first time someone had asked me about Aithan, and I wanted to pour enough into my words, to make her love him just like I do. I wanted her to see Aithan for who he is, not as the enemy Marcus painted him as. Don't get me wrong, I st
