He caressed my right cheek, smiling at me. “Thank you,” he whispered, staring into my eyes. “Thank you for accepting me. I…” He looked down, inhaling deeply. "I apologized for what happened.” "It's alright." I climbed into his arms, burrowing into the warmth I had been craving for days. “I realize you will never hurt me.”“I won't dare.” He placed a kiss on the top of my hair. “I rather kill myself than hurt you knowingly.”“I know.” Deep down, I knew he would never hurt me. If he had, he would have killed me. He wouldn't have snapped out of whatever was holding him, making him want to hurt me. “I'm sorry.” He hugged me tight. “I apologize for hurting you. I should have known something was wrong. I just….” He trailed off.“Look at me.” I put my hands on his cheeks and made him look down at me. “It's not your fault. You didn't know he would manipulate you this way. Now that you recognize his plans, it won't be difficult to thwart them.”“But —”“It's okay.” I placed my forehead on hi
“Of course not.” I averted my gaze, biting my lower lip. I didn't like how he was making me feel. Though I was freaking embarrassed by how he was teasing me, I couldn't help the giddiness that went through me. As I sat on his thighs, different thoughts assaulted me until I couldn't take it anymore. “That's not —”“What if I tell you I lied?” I turned my focus back to him and locked my eyes with his, grinning. “What if I tell you that you were right?”“Ly —”I pushed him to the floor and climbed on him. “What if you were right about me being ready for you?”He gulped, caught off guard by my actions. I bet he didn't expect that. He didn't count on being beaten at his game. He might have believed I would keep denying his words so he could tease me until I gave in.“What if I tell you I'm ready to do what you suggested? To have a secret relationship with you?” I lifted a brow at that. “Ly,” he whispered as he gently touched my face, and it felt as if something clicked within me.“I will
I cooled down to let the pleasure of my orgasm wash over me before I resumed what I was doing. Alex let me do as I pleased. He didn't rush me and didn't offer to help himself, since I was busy riding in the euphoric clouds of my orgasm. He just watched me, waiting for when I was ready for him, and I didn't keep him waiting. I wrapped my now sticky palms around his dick and stroked it, loving the way the organ reacted to my touch. I teased the opening with my thumb before I brought my mouth closer to his dick. He grunted as I sucked him, and I knew he was closer than I thought. Yet, I didn't stop sucking him. I wanted it, needed to feel the warm spurt of his cock down my throat. He held my head against his crotch as he convulsed, and streams of hot cum shot into my mouth.It fell on the back of my throat as I continued to suck him and I welcomed the warm liquid into my mouth as I was eager for a taste of his amazing self. It was like fresh water to my thirsty soul. I continued to su
“Why do you enjoy teasing me?” I pouted, folding my arms. “You make cute expressions whenever you are shy,” he responded, placing another kiss on my cheeks. “I love the way you always counter my words, which is why I tease you every chance I get.”His remarks made me feel warm. The flutter in my chest didn't stop, instead it increased as if the butterflies in my stomach were ready to take flight. I looked up at him and my blue eyes met his gaze. He smiled when he noticed my focus on him, his eyes crinkling at the corners. I felt my heart skip a beat as I took in the sight of him.There was no doubt about how handsome Alex was. I'd always pretended like I never checked him out whenever he teased me. He was good, the type of son every mother would love to have. It was such a pity his mum died when he was a kid. She would have been super proud of him. “You're really something else,” I said, my voice barely above a whisper. I didn't know when those words left my lips until I heard them
Alex allowed me to assault him for a bit as I changed from one nipple to the other, administering my service of expertise to the dark pink orbs.I scraped my teeth on them and I heard him inhale sharply before he slid his hand into my hair. Tightly, but not in too painful a kind of way. He held my hair in his fist and made me look at him.He tilted my head back as he locked his eyes with mine. His eyes had changed from black to golden, switching between his aroused side and his wolf.“Mine!” He growled possessively before he kissed me again. It was sloppy, but, hot. He tasted like home. His musky scent made it even more irresistible. It made my body go wild in want as I whimpered like a wounded animal.I loved the way he kissed me like he was trying to stake his claim, to let the entire world know I was his, and him mine. I loved the way my body reacted to him.He tightly gripped my head as he deepened the kiss. This time it was more frantic them any other he had ever started. He brok
He flipped our position, and had my legs spread, ready to take him in. His eyes found my mind once again, searching for answers I knew must be on my face. I hid nothing from him. I showed him just how ready I was with my eyes.“Tell me to stop if you get uncomfortable,” he said before positioning himself at the entrance of my core. “Ready?” he asked, looking into my eyes deeply again. The concern in that gaze caused me to fall so much in love with him. Had I not known my feelings for him before, his expression would have made it easier for me to fall harder for the infuriating Alpha. “I've always been ready.” I nodded, and then I felt his blunt head push into me with gentle force. A loud moan escaped my lips, and I closed my eyes, savouring this feeling while slipping down onto him more and more.I started panting as he grabbed my arse even more firmly. My head fell back, and I cried out when he thrust forward, so I started moving too, to match his rhythm. Little moans and groans tu
At first, he was lightly holding my hair as he pounded into me. However, he increased his thrusts as he tightened his hold once more. It was painful, but that was enough to turn me on. I was craving it. I loved the pain more than I liked him being gentle with me. You can say I like this version of him the best.The pain made me ache for more. My stomach tightened so hard as I reached closer to the edge. I could feel the need building within me as he showed me another side of pleasure. I moaned as he continued to ram into me with the same intensity as before. His hold on my hair tightened some more. It was as if he could hear my thoughts and knew how much I craved the pain. The harder he thrust into my hole while holding my hair like an anchor, the more aroused I became. I was a moaning mess, crying for him to go harder, to show me how much he wanted me. I was literally begging him to treat me like a slut.“More!” I cried out when he slapped my left arse cheek with his left hand. M
ALEXTo say I was the happiest man in the entire world would be a damned understatement. Waking up to the feel of his head on my chest was the best feeling in the entire world, one I will never trade for anything in the entire world. I wrapped my arms around him, holding him close as I gazed down at his peaceful face. His eyes were closed, his eyelashes fluttering slightly as he breathed. I couldn't help but smile as I watched him, feeling a sense of contentment wash over me.Everything felt like a dream to me. Having Aithan willing to pursue a relationship with me was something I never thought would happen, at least not this fast. It was surreal.I gently stroked his hair, feeling the softness between my fingers. He stirred slightly, his head shifting on my chest, and I froze, not wanting to wake him. I didn't mean to disturb him. I wanted to watch him sleep, to cherish the moment.But then his eyes flickered open, and he looked up at me, a sleepy smile spreading across his face whe
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
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
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
I left the study for my room, planning to have a shower, change out of my clothes and leave. Before I returned, I had changed out of those bloody clothes with the spare I had in my car, else I would have gotten more than a raised brow from everyone who saw me. I just wanted to have a bath to wash off the scent I concealed with heavy perfume. It was a surprise Marcus didn't comment on that. Unlike the others, he must have probably scented something. I had just stepped into my room when I got a knock on the door and Sophie stepped in, smirking. “Do you have a moment to spare?” “Will you leave if my response is in the negative?” I frowned, walking over to my bed.“Of course not.” Grinning, she walked to my bed and sat next to me. “You know you can't use that on me, don't you?”“Of course.” I smiled as I reached over to ruffle her hair. It was a wonder how I got close to her when we hardly spent that much time together. I knew the reason. Ryder had always kept her at arm's length, so I
I stormed towards his study, determined to talk things out with him. I couldn't let this slide. With Max acting the way he was, it would be difficult to get him to help me, which was the reason I returned home.To win him back, I needed to confront the man who changed his mind. I didn't bother to knock on the door. I opened it and stormed in, ready to give Marcus a tongue-lashing, only to pause in my steps when I noticed he wasn't alone.Luca and Sophie were with him. Luca wasn't the reason I paused in my steps. It all had to do with Sophie. She was the last person I expected to see. It wasn't Christmas yet, right?“Sophie?” I frowned, blinking to be certain I wasn't making things up. “Brother!” She got up from the couch and rushed towards me, smiling. “I've missed you!” She hugged me tightly to herself. “I've missed you so damned much.”At first, I didn't react. I was too stunned to do that. However, when she lifted her face towards me, I snapped out of it. “I missed you too.” I g
ALEX That bastard Maximo must have known I was coming for him. He wasn't in his home, and the lady in charge of the building informed me he left a few days ago after his rent expired. I checked the gay bar, but none of them recognized who he was. For the entire day, I drove around the city, hoping to get any news or lead that would point me towards his current location, but it seemed like he never existed. None of the men I met knew who he was. Max was the only person I knew who could help me, so I had to drive home to meet him. The new phone I got didn't have his number. The only number I had was Aithan's. As for the number that blonde man gave me, I didn't intend to add it to my contact. As for calling with it, I just wanted to give Aithan some time before doing so. The gates swung open after the sensor on it did a check of the car. It must have recognized me because it made a beep and the gates opened. I drove into the compound I hadn't been to since I left on a mission to hu
AITHAN “Are you certain about this?” Pink asked for the third time since we left the house. “You can't do anything reckless, and you know that. Your father will only —”“If you didn't want to do this with me, you are free to leave. It's not as if I'm forcing you to go with me.” I would have glared down at him if I wasn't that focused on where we were going. Pink was frustrating me with his endless questions and his unnecessary fear.“I didn't force you to come with me, did I? You did that on your accord.”“Because I care for you, damn it!”Heaving a sigh, I stopped the car, almost sending us out of our seats from how hard I hit the brakes. Our seatbelts were the only thing that kept us from leaping out of the car, through the front window.“Are you trying to bloody kill us?!”“If you don't want to go with me, you are free to return home. I won't blame you for this.” I gestured with my eyes at his door, letting him see he could leave if he wanted. “I planned to do this alone. You we
