I'd forgotten about her. Had Pink not mentioned Michelle, I wouldn't have recalled there was someone I know whose name was Michelle. My mind was occupied with thoughts of Alex.“Yes. She arrived a few minutes ago, and your father had been trying to get a hold of you but couldn't contact you,” Pink explained, falling into steps with me. “Where have you been, though?”“I was out with a drinking buddy,” I responded offhandedly. I didn't need to think about it before I let the response out. I couldn't call Alex a friend. We weren't friends. We were merely enemies with benefits. Now that I had that out, it sounded quite odd, but that was what we were. “A drinking buddy?” Pink sounded sceptical. I didn't blame him, though. This was the first time I mentioned a drinking buddy. “I met him last night while out on a race. He's quite good.” More than good. If there was one thing Alex was good with, it was kissing and fucking. He knew exactly how to press my buttons and get me to moan like a s
ALEXI had my bath just like Aithan asked me to. I didn't want to wash out his scent, but I knew I had to do that. Marcus would smell his scent on me from a mile away, and this time, he would know I was intimate with him. Any Alpha could tell. Dressed, I left the hotel and returned to the house. Marcus wasn't at home, so I didn't get any confrontation. It was for the best though. I didn't return to my room. Instead, I went straight to the training room to exercise. The men practising all stopped what they were doing to bow to me.“It's alright. You can continue.” I urged them to rise as I gestured for Max to follow me to my office. “So, how was it?” Max asked the second he stepped into my office. I hadn't even sat down before he spoke. “Was she your mate? Did you sleep with her?” He sounded excited. “I believe so.” Frowning, I plopped down on the chair and folded my arms. “I knotted in him when we had sex.”“I said it. She's your mate!”If he heard the use of the 'he' pronoun, he
AITHANI blinked at him. Never in my wildest imagination would I believe I would one day have such a conversation with Pink. “You are gay?” I asked once more, to convince myself I heard him correctly, and that my ears weren't playing tricks on me. He nodded, his cheeks red. “It's not that obvious, is it?” “It's not. I wouldn't have even suspected a thing.” I gave him an appraisal. Aside from his unusual love for the pink colour, there was nothing odd about him. He spoke about girls like the rest of us and even talked about getting married to one and having a family. Was that all a hoax? To get us from knowing he was different from us? It wasn't far-fetched. He must have realized not everyone would be accommodating of his sexuality. “I know.” He smiled. “I only dated once though, and just decided to stop it after what happened to you.” He looked up sharply. “I'm sorry. I didn't mean it like that. I was guilty. You see. I believed you would hate me should you know I was gay because o
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 figured he would be the first to leave. As he had gotten what he wanted, I didn't think he would stick around some more, but he proved me wrong. It made me realize he wasn't yet satisfied. However, when he asked me not to leave, I saw the emotions he was trying so hard to hide. He didn't avert his gaze as he stared into my eyes. I had to reach over and cup his face in my hands. “What do you want with me, Alex? Is it just my body?” He frowned at the question but didn't say a word. The more time he wasted, the more I became convinced of what his reply would be. He had never made it a secret. “No.” His response shocked me. I didn't expect to get such a response from him, at least not with a straight face. “I would be a liar if I said I only wanted you for your body, Aithan. I had long known there was something different about you, something that drew me to you, but I had been fighting it all along.” He leaned down and placed a kiss on my cheeks. “I don't recognize what tha
ALEXI fucking knotted in him. I didn't know it would happen. He was almost fainting from exertion, and I was in my fourth orgasm when it happened. My fucking dick started getting fucking big, glueing our bodies together.“Stop!” He tried to push me off him, only to fall back in pain. His face turned blood-red as it contorted to show his agony. “Stop getting fucking big! Do you want to tear my insides?!” “I… I don't know what's happening!” I confessed, leaning close to him. I couldn't tell how to stop this. I'd never knotted in someone before, though I'd heard about it. An alpha male, only knots in the one he would spend the rest of his life with, and I'd never found that person. Not only that, but the urge to knot only came during our rutting seasons, and I wasn't in any fucking rut. Which would mean…I peered down at Aithan who was still thrashing in pain under me, looking like he was a few seconds from sending me on a path to meet my ancestors. Was he my mate? Oddly enough, the
He kissed my thighs before he slid his tongue back into my hole, raising my legs from the bed.“Goddess!” I moaned out loud, aching for his tongue to go deeper, as I let my hands slide down the line of my body until it reached his broad shoulders.I raised my palm until it brushed down upon his soft hair before I grabbed it. I tugged hard on his hair when I had that intense pleasurable feeling deep within me.At that moment, I forgot who I was. All I knew was the pleasure I felt from his touch. I watched him as he slowly rubbed his right hand up and down his shaft before he positioned his aroused cock at the entrance of my hole. I expected him to push in, but he didn't. His eyes locked with mine as he lifted my legs and placed them on his shoulders.“It will be painful, but I promise to make you feel good.” He gently whispered, “If it gets too uncomfortable for you, please let me know, okay?”I nodded without saying a word. I had to blink back tears. Alex was making this difficult fo
He broke away from the kiss. Placing a kiss on my lips, he knelt on the bed. His golden eyes gazed at my cock before he licked his lips. I can see the raw desires in his eyes, and it made me impatient to have him fuck me. I had never been eager for something in my entire life.This was the first time I had a wish for something, so bad it seemed like it was about to drive me insane.“If you want me to fuck you, Ly, you need to work for it.” He slowly ran his tongue over the tip of his canines.My dick clenched once more as my hole puckered as if it perceived what was about to go down. I didn't even have to think of when he actually did the deed, because I knew it would be super painful. It didn't matter that I had experienced this before. It had been years and my hole had returned to how it was before.“Ly?”“What do you want me to do?” I asked when I realized he was waiting for me to ask the question.“Let's see….” With a smile, he got down from the bed and slowly removed his trouser
“Ly?” He broke from the kiss and locked his eyes with mine, searching my gaze for only what he alone knew. “Hmm?” I was breathless as I watched him, unable to do anything but try breathing. I just wanted so many things at that moment that I forgot how disgusted I was at the thought of being intimate with him. Never in my wildest imagination did I think I would be with a man again, not after the painful past I had. Alex made me forget how much I hated gays. “If you want this to stop, just say the words now.”“Stop? Don't tell me you have gotten tired already?" I frowned at him. “You got me so worked up and —”He shut me up by kissing me. It was fast and punishing as if he wanted to respond to my questions with his actions. Breaking away from the kiss, he placed kisses on my face and trailed down once more. I figured he would suck my dick like he did before, but he surprised me when he flipped me, so I was lying on my back. “What the fuck —”“Relax.” He placed his hand on my back.
Chuckling at the sounds I made, he dragged his face across from my right nipple to the other, grinding it down, sucking hard before he bit down, hard.“Damn it, Alex!” I gasped, feeling uncomfortable down there. My dick was twitching, eager to have his mouth on it, but what he wanted more was to drive me fucking crazy with his mouth. He repeated his action once more, running his tongue around my right nipple before he bit down hard on it. My breath came out in gasps as I reached out to him. My fingers dug into the skin of his back as he started making circles with his tongue.He didn't mind the pain I was causing him or the blood I had undoubtedly drawn from how hard I scratched his back. At that moment, he seemed more concerned with giving me enough pleasure. I didn't know the sounds I made, didn't care about the animalistic growl that left my lips when he bit my nipple, hard enough to draw blood. I let out a curse as I thrashed on the bed, letting out sighs of pleasure. He place
