I shook under him, desperate to feel his hands on my dick. At that moment, my desires clouded my judgment. I couldn't think straight, couldn't understand the person standing in front of me wasn't a friend, but a foe. This could all be a trap from him. I knew that, but my body seemed to have a mind of its own. “Tell me you want it, Ly. I won't touch you until you give your permission. I might be an alpha, but I'm not a predator,” he growled, his breath fanning my neck as he placed a kiss on it.Shivers erupted in my body as I bucked my hips, eager to feel his touch. Letting out another shameless moan, I tried to get closer to him, controlled by my carnal desire for him. “What do you want, Ly? Tell me, and I will do it for you, I promise.” His hand slid up to my crotch, and he used his fingertips to trace the lineup and down its length.“I…” I gulped, locking my gaze with his. I didn't want to say this, didn't want to stoop so low, but I had to. Alex was fucking driving me insane. I
Smirking at me, he rubbed his hand up and down my dick once more, holding my gaze as I shivered. I bit my lower lip to keep a sound from escaping. The last thing I needed was for him to use anything against me. “Have anyone told you how cute you look?” He whispered, his intense gaze on me. “I hope they haven't because I want to be the only one to see this expression.” I didn't retort this time, didn't scream at him. I just let him say whatever he wanted. For now, I needed his help with my damned dick. Grinning like a Chester er cat, he used both his hand and his mouth on my shaft, sliding up and down, expertly driving me towards an orgasm.I clenched my tied hands, biting so hard on my lower lip that I drew blood, yet I didn't ease the bite, didn't want him to know how much I loved it when he touched me. His mouth on my dick felt like paradise. I'd always cherished a warm mouth, one that knew what it was doing, and he checked out. He was so good, he made it difficult for me to hol
After cleaning up. I left the bathroom, burying my guilt as I returned to my seat, ignoring Alex who had a knowing smile on his lips. It was as if he could tell what I had done. The stare he gave seemed to look deep into my soul. Like he was reading me, seeing the truth I was trying so desperately to hide. “Here.” He passed the phone to me. “I got What I needed, so here you go. This is all I know about the Scorpion Syndicate. They were the ones who attacked tonight,” he said, his face pulled up in a serious look. He didn't seem to be in the mood to tease me, probably because he'd gotten the kiss he wanted. He now wanted nothing to do with me after getting it. “Your family weren't the ones?” I frowned, taking his phone from him.“You thought we were?” He looked at me like I'd lost it. “Then why did you kiss me if you felt that way? Don't tell me you were —”“Shut the hell up.” Glaring at him, I swiped through his phone at the pictures. From what I could see, he wasn't lying about th
PROLOGUEHe stared at me, his hazel eyes seeming to look into my soul. “You are beautiful,” those whispered words caused my stomach to flutter and my heart to skip. I knew I shouldn't be feeling this way, but my body seemed to have a mind of its own.His hand reached for me, and he wrapped it around my neck, not hard, but sturdy enough to keep my focus on him as he leaned closer. 'Tell me if you don't like it' Was the only warning I got before he kissed me. The moment our lips touched, it felt like the explosion of fireworks, taking my breath with it, and leaving me unable to form coherent thoughts. I melted into his kiss, my lips parting to invite him deeper. His hand on my neck sent shivers down my spine, but it wasn't fear that coursed through my veins. It was something far more dangerous—desire.As our tongues danced, the tension between us crackled like electricity. I felt alive, my senses heightened, and my heart racing.The scent of his skin enveloped me, a musky sweetness tha
AITHAN“Beware,” he whispered, leaning down so close that his lips brushed my left ear. “If you don't keep that mouth shut, I will stuff it with something else. Something that will leave you moaning like the slut you are.”Though those words ended with me punching him, I didn't feel any satisfaction, not with that knowing smirk on his face as he wiped the blood from his lips. Alexander “Lex” De Luca, the bane of my existence, and the man I hated the most in the entire world, the same reason I was sitting here, staring into the face of my father.“How could you do that?!” He hit his right palm on the table, causing me to roll my eyes. Father always got worked up over little things, and it was happening right now. His receding hairline, and eyes which always darkened in anger, made me worry about his future.Lifting my shoulders in a shrug, I gave him a bored look as I leaned back in the chair. “He started it. That fucking bastard called me a bitch!”How could I ignore him when he did s
ALEXANDERI watched him walk in. Aithan Lyker Kael, the man I hated the most in the entire world, one I want on his knees, with his lips wrapped around my dick. I wasn't gay. Not at all. I just couldn't get the image of him bent, taking my cock, from my mind after I saw him naked. That round butt and button mouth called out to me, making me want to tie him up and fuck him until he caves, until he surrendered to me.He had his chiselled features set in a determined expression, those piercing blue eyes seeming to bore into my soul. His dark hair was perfectly messy, framing a face that belonged on magazine covers. But it was his body that held my attention—broad shoulders, sculpted chest, and that irresistible round butt… I just… Fuck!“Alexander,” my father's voice filtered through my mind, causing me to tear my gaze from the tempting beta.Blinking, I focused on my father, and Aithan's father, who was acting like we came for a truce meeting. We all knew what this was all about. To get
“What happened?” Aithan's father asked, concern flickering in his features as he looked at his son. My father didn't seem to care about me as he glanced around, probably calculating how to find whoever did that because it seemed like a threat to both families. How else would they attempt a shooting on a day like this?Aithan pushed me away as he got to his feet, his eyes scanning the perimeters, with his brows furrowed. “Someone tried to shoot me,” he whispered, looking down at me with contempt. You would have thought he would look grateful since I saved his arse.Getting to my feet, I cleaned my arse as my father walked over to me, his eyes asking what was going on. “I will have to check it out,” I said, walking towards the door. Oddly enough, I wasn't furious at Aithan for kicking me on my balls or for not showing his appreciation. I was mad at the person who tried to take his life.Odd, right?This was something I'd been battling with for months now. Most times, I always paused to
AITHANThose words rang in my head as I snapped my gaze up at him, wondering if he'd gone berserk in the few minutes we spent apart because that seemed to be the case. “What the hell did you mean by that? Work together? With you?” I scoffed, folding my arms. Surely, he was just joking about it. There was no way he would actually want us to work together. For what exactly?As I stared into his hazel eyes, I waited for him to laugh, to tell me he was joking, to make lewd remarks like he always did each time we were alone, but he didn't.Sighing, he ran his fingers through his hair, his gaze hot as they ran over me, lingering a bit on my crotch before they returned to my face. “I believe the one targeting us isn't someone small, else they wouldn't have hired such an effective assassin. Who knew what would have happened if I weren't with you?”“I would have dodged it.” My voice was clipped, letting him know I didn't appreciate his talking about the attack and making it seem like without h

AITHAN I closed my eyes, so I wouldn't see him. I imagined Mara as the one sitting next to me as I brought my face closer. However, instead of his cheeks, I felt something wet, something that caused me to snap my eyes open.As our lips touched, a jolt of electricity ran through me. I hadn't expected it. This was supposed to be a mocking, a show of dominance. But the second our skin made contact, something sparked.Alex's eyes widened, his pupils dilating in surprise. I felt it too—a rush of heat, a flutter in my chest. For a moment, we just froze with our lips locked.I didn't know how to react and didn't even know what was going on at that point. All I knew was the delicious feeling I got in my stomach, the one that made me let out a shameful sigh.Then Torch's expression changed. His eyes darkened, his gaze intensifying as He deepened the kiss, his lips claiming mine.I was caught off guard. My mind reeled, my body responding despite myself. I wanted to break away from him, to stop
ALEXAfter disposing of the bodies, I called Max. I didn't want to involve anyone from my house, but I realized he was my best bet if I needed to get the identity of those who attacked the party. I already knew they weren't my father's men. There were things he would do, and things he wouldn't dream of doing. This was one of them. Having sent me to exchange the wine, he wouldn't dare hit them when they were at the low. It wasn't like him. “My alpha,” Max greeted the moment he answered the call. “I have done the assignment you sent me on. I just sent the data to your email. Please check it out when you have the time.”“I will. Thanks a lot, man.”“Any time.”“So, I need your help to investigate something for me,” I said, going straight to the reason I called. I didn't think wasting any time would help me at all. “My help?” There was a ruffling from the other end like he was getting up from bed. It was late, so he probably must have gone to sleep. My call undoubtedly woke him. “What
AITHANI had always said this and would repeat it. Alex is bad news. Every time he showed up, something must happen. I should have known tonight wouldn't be an exception. With everything that happened from the moment I heard the first gunshot to the face-off we had with the men, I didn't have enough chance to punch him like I would have normally done. After I raced in, looking for Viktor, he called a hospital. By the time I found Viktor lying unconscious in his room, the paramedics had already arrived. As there were many unconscious people lying around, they brought over 20 ambulances. The house had never been as noisy as it was at the moment. “Go on with them. I will take care of the others,” Alex said, coming over to my side. He must have seen how torn I was about staying behind to make certain all the unconscious ones were taken and going with the ambulance housing Viktor at the moment. Frowning, I shrugged his hand off my shoulder as I took a step back. I didn't like the way h
ALEXANDER I cursed under my breath as the sound of gunfire shattered the tension between Aithan and me. We were so close to kissing, and now…now this. I quickly fished for my gun, my training kicking in as I took off after Aithan.I was so pissed at the moment, I wouldn't hesitate to kill the damned bastards who thought to interrupt us. Just tell me why the hell someone would have such bad timing? Why couldn't they wait until I had kissed Aithan?!! I was so close to touching his soft lips, to feeling him moan under me as he wrapped his hands around my neck. Who knew what would have happened after that? We would have gone down on each other! Fuck them!I hurried after Aithan, getting to him before he could expose himself. “Get down!” I yelled, grabbing his arm and dragging him behind a nearby pillar. “Don't be rash!”“Fuck off!” He shook me off, his eyes blazing with anger. “I can handle myself,” he growled, drawing out his gun. The way he glared at me made me believe he likely bel
My mouth went dry at his words. I didn't appreciate the way I reacted, but you couldn't blame me. He was so close, staring into my eyes with a gaze that made it seem like I was the only one in the entire fucking world. Whatever Alex had working for him, was something strong enough to make me act weak.“I don't understand why you took root in my head, making it difficult for me to think of anything else,” he continued, his hazel eyes locked with mine, and his words said so low, it sent shivers down my spine. Gulping, I tried to avert my gaze, but the thought of making myself seem so small with that gesture made me focus on him. I didn't want to back down from the stare, didn't want to make him think he had won the competition. I narrowed my eyes, my mind racing with scepticism. I didn't like how he was making me feel, but more was the feeling I had about being a play to him. Alex was my fucking enemy, a man who had been at odds with me all our lives. Hearing him say those words made
AITHAN Fuck. Fuck. Fuck. What had gotten into me? Did I just get pissed because he was dancing with a woman? Was I okay? I doubt that. If I were alright, I wouldn't have had those stupid feelings while watching him. Which was why I took Maria out of there, to a place where my mind wouldn't be confused. I led her by the hand to the balcony. Out here, the music from the party was muffled. Though we could hear it, it wasn't loud enough to disturb our conversation. Maria blushed as she looked around. She must have known why I brought her out here, in this private space. I knew no one would come over here, as it was my special area. “You are charming,” I whispered to her as I backed her against the rail. I reached over and touched her hair, watching her gulp. Her breath hitched as she locked her eyes with me. Maria was just my type. Soft, beautiful and an Omega. I'd never had the hots for my fellow betas or even female alphas. Gammas sounded like a sure bet after Omegas. “You think
