She thought he was Leon? How crazy? Oh right, he borrowed his police uniform earlier with a nameplate. However, all was lost when he got nearer, and he thought, fuck, she had kissable fine lips, so luscious and pink and glossy. Rhye thought to himself.
When their gazes locked, it was as if everyone else in the pub disappeared. There was something so familiar and so unbelievably extraordinary about her spirit, it was like calling him. Just looking at this beauty, even his wolf wanted to claim her right here and right now. And though Alpha Rhye couldn't discern her significant scent, there was something very unique about it. It was more than scentless, yet he could feel the pull of a life-mate, and he was more than surprised.
Her deep blue-green eyes were gorgeous and vivid, so fresh and innocent, and right now they were expressing a sweet longing that quickened his pulse. Yes, the woman was rude and thought of him as Leon, but he still couldn't help but stare at her lips, as her sweet pink vanilla was calling him to taste it. "Well, Miss Lily Walters, it's lovely to meet you again. Way to insult me, huh? What a coincidence? And you appeared to be too inebriated to be angry right now. After all, you reckoned, I sucked your boyfriend's dick, yes?"
"Oh, of course, you did,... Y-you g-guys didn't even lock the door. How foolish." The woman added with a cute annoyance as she had to tilt her head to look at him because she was seated and he was towering over her. Alpha Rhye breathed in to distinguish her scent, yet none came to her werewolf senses. It was very odd, and now his curiosity had been piqued to the full extent. "Well, what if I told you it was not me? Maybe... someone who looked exactly like me?"
"I d-don't think so. Why Mr. Officer, s-sir y-you got yourself a twin?"
Oh, yes, Joseph. Perhaps this wonderful lady mistook him for Joseph, and why would his twin brother be sucking her boyfriend's dick? Joseph was never gay, he thought to himself as he replied, "Well, actually I have a twin... And he is not gay."
"W-whateverrr."
"Okay then, so can I buy you a drink, Miss Walters?" He offered.
She lifted her full glass. "No, thank you. I’ve already got one."
"Then I’ll buy your next one."
"There won’t be a next one. I don’t trust myself or you."
"Why is that?"
"I’m a lightweight. S-see, and... w-well, one drink makes me tipsy, maybe five." Her lips curved slightly as she giggled, "Six drinks make me do bad things."
Damned if his shaft doesn’t twitch at that. "How bad?" Rhye growled.
Although she blushed, she didn’t shy away from the question. "Very bad, Sgt. S-sir."
Rhye grinned at her, then flagged the bartender with a quick, excessive motion. "Another drink for the sweet lady, Gab," he called.
She laughed, and the melodic sound sent prickles of sensation through him. He was insanely attracted to her.
"How lovely, you knew him, the bartender??"
"Well, can I tell you a secret?" He said as he went nearer to her ear, "I own this place."
"Huh! And I am the Queen of the world." The woman giggled again, and Rhye thought that she was indeed too drunk to even notice that he was serious. Rather than take the empty stool beside her, he remained standing. But he did edge closer, and her knee lightly brushed his hip. He swore he heard her breath hitched at the slightest contact.
Rhye glanced over and spotted his new friends watching them with deep interest. Mr. Bald Man tapped his watch dramatically as if to remind him that the clock was ticking.
"Oh, it's up to you if you do not believe me. So, listen..." Alpha Rhye brought his lips close to her ear again so she could hear him. This time, he saw her breath hitched. Her perky breasts rose as she sucked in the air. "My colleagues gave me a ten to one percent chance of getting your number without you slapping my face, and I do not want that. After all, it seemed like we already knew each other, right?"
Her eyes dance devilishly. "Wow, and so? B-by sucking my b-boyfriend's dick makes us friends now? But a ten-to-one chance? Jesus, they don't have much c-confidence in y-you, huh? I’m sorry."
"Don’t be sorry, sweet. I’ve beaten greater odds than that. But... lemme tell you a secret. " His mouth brushes her earlobe as he whispers, "I don’t want your number."
She jolted in surprise, her gaze snapping to him. "You don’t? Seriously?"
"Nope. I mean, yes, I am dead serious."
"Then what do y-you want? Mr. Leon, officer?" She picked up her drink and took a quick sip.
He thought it over for a moment. "I want to kiss you, to taste your lips."
"You nuts? Y-yesterday, you sucked my ex's dick and now you want to k-kiss me? H-how disgusting is that?"
"I told you, it was not me, Miss Walters."
"Oh, I don't believe you for a second there."
"I am not a police officer and my name isn't Leon Anderson either," he added, knowing full well that it's been four minutes.
"Oh yeah? And who are y-you?"
"Call me, Rhye... Rhye Gosling."
"The... Rhye Gosling? The CEO? I don't believe you." She smiled as she looked at him up and down and raised an eyebrow.
"Well, it's up to you." He insisted.
A startled laugh now. "Uh-huh. You’re just saying that because you wish I’ll do it, and then you can prove to your friends that you’re not a loser."
He looked over his shoulder again. Mr. Old Man wore a self-satisfied smirk. He tapped his watch too. Tick-tock. His seven minutes were almost up. His own watch told him he had only got three left, "No," he told her. "That’s not why I want to kiss you."
"Oh really, now Mr. Superman?"
"Really." He licked his bottom lip. "I want to kiss you because you’re the hottest, the most beautiful woman in this pub." He shrugged. "And anyway, it’s unmistakable you want the same thing."
"Says who?" She challenged him.
"Says the fact that you haven’t stopped staring at my lips since I walked over here."
She narrowed her eyes and smiled.
"See, here’s the thing." Rhye lightly dragged his fingertips along her slender arm. He was not touching bare skin, yet she visibly quivered. "My friends think you’re Little Miss Innocent. They cautioned me that you’d be frightened by someone like me. Someone tough and big, but you know what I think, Lily?"
"What?" She mumbled with the same intensity as he did.
"I think you like it tough and big and as hard as me." Once again, he leaned in closer. Rhye couldn't help but flick the tip of his tongue over her ear.
There was another sharp intake of breath, and he felt a tug of achievement.
"I don't think you're innocent," he went on, "and I don't think you're a good girl either, I think that right now you want nothing more than to kiss me harder, rake your nails down my back, and let me fuck you right here in front of everyone."
She moaned out loud.
Dammit if his shaft hadn't twitched.
The arrogant grin was just unfolding across his face when she grabbed the back of his head and yanked him down for a hard kiss.
"You’re right, Mr. Leon, or Rhye W-whatever..." she murmured against his lips as he tasted her heavenly soft lips. "I’m not a good girl at all, I want more than anything to have you right here with me, drunk or not..."
His trunk was hard before her tongue even reached his mouth. And when it did, gliding through his parted lips, it was his turn to moan. This woman was doing something to his senses, making him forget himself for a while. She tasted like Margarita and something else, something sweetly devilish and oddly dark, and as he kissed her back hungrily, all the while conscious of the loud catcalls surrounding them. Being all drunk and his werewolf senses made it all the wilder. She was sure some of those screams were coming from his new blue-collar pals, but he was too occupied to wallow in their surprise.
As his tongue slicked over this sweet oddly amazing human, it was like there was something very addictive to her spirit, almost like he felt the call of a mate bond but strangely stronger than those they call pull. It was more extensive, more alive, more surprising, and above all, it was like everything had been different, and right here and there Alpha Rhye this woman would be his and only his, even his wolf had been possessive.
Rhye gently nudged one leg between her soft delicate thighs. Letting her feel how hard he was. “Oh, bloody hell… that was intense, Mr. Officer sir… oh, goodness,” she mumbled as a flush crept on her now scarlet cheeks. She broke the kiss, her eyes gleaming with pure undeniable passion and something else more than lust and desires. “Sweetheart, fancy a private moment? Let’s get out of here and finish this somewhere?” Lily added.
Rhye smirked, “No. I want you now.” His voice sounds intense and full of demands, as he adds a little alpha tone to his voice, his wolf screaming to take this woman and make her his.
Lily blinked, “What? I mean… now?” Lily thought she must be very drunk to even allow this nonsense. She knew it was so very wrong but she was like a moth that could not stay away from the fire even if it burned her.
"Yes, I have my own suite here, up on the VIP floor. Come.” He rested one hand on her slim waist, moving his palm in a teasing caress.
She teased him too, while her hot gaze roamed the length of his body. Then she slanted her head and asked, “What would your woman say about this?"
Rhye gives her a dirty smile. “Oh, well, she’d say…hurry, Rhye, I need to come.”
Lily moaned again.
“That’s what I thought,” he mocked, but his girl didn't look fazed.
He took her hand and pulled her off the stool. He was still hard as a rock and in need of relief. Judging by her shallow breathing, she was as aroused as he was. "So what do you say?" Rhye asked, rubbing the inside of her palm with his thumb gently. Lily stood on the tips of her high-heeled shoes and pressed her lips to his ear. "Hurry Mr. Whoever you are, sir, I need to cum." He swallowed a desperate laugh as he held her hand toward the rear balcony. Before they passed the doorway, he tossed a final glance over his shoulder. The stockbrokers were gaping at him as if he was a ghost from another realm. He gestured to the money on the bar and offered a gracious nod, as if to say, "I won, keep it all." Five minutes later, Rhye nodded to his personal guard, who kept a watch on whatever he was doing and now opened the suite entrance, knowing the Alpha had found a girl for tonight. "Thanks, Jasper." Lily pressed her own palm to the center of his chest, giggling sweetly and pushing him f
The next morning, the loud news report from the massive 65-inch television in the elegant room awakened Lily. She groaned from the light in the glass windows. The etching noise that lightly strolled across the bed was enough to send her back straight up like a bolt in pitch twilight as a raw sweat washed over her face and a hard knot constricted her throat, making her hard to breathe with the addition of her hammering headache. She despised hangovers and being so foolish, yet her palms grabbed her chest as it pounded quicker than anticipated when she realized something: she was partially naked! Then her thoughts were racing through her mind, recalling the most incredible sex encounter of her life, with the most beautiful stranger with... Holy crap! Naked! She was completely naked! She then panicked and glanced everywhere, examining her surroundings. She was nowhere near her apartment or Cassy's home. Oh my God! Last Night! The man! Sgt. Leon Anderson! No!She had sex with Jason'
Lily arrived at her flat, still perplexed by the thought of being so completely ridiculous and dumb. The note on Rhye Gosling's nightstand serves as a reminder of how stupid she was. It was no longer necessary to stare and read it a hundred times. But she did anyway. The difficulty was that she have to confront the man who had made her wanton in bed again. Those moans that still rang in her head? It was amazing. No doubt. Those glamorous, amazing, and extraordinary displays of intimacy? Mind-blowing sex? It was perfect. She might be able to call it the best sex she'd ever had. It was a crazy thought because she never wanted to forget it. Her memories of his lips were still vivid. His kisses. But who would have guessed she'd wreck someone else's life by being so enraged that it became the topic and conversation of the online community? It was not like there weren't any homosexual policemen in the world... Sgt. Anderson, on the other hand, was the wrong man, and she wanted to kick herse
Lily Walters arrived at the three-story mansion at three in the afternoon, she gawked at the grandiose state of Rhye Gosling. She was led into the impressive modern-style living room. Then, she saw a spiral staircase against the wood-paneled wall. She was ushered by a middle-aged couple, Mr. and Mrs. Evans, a butler and the chef. "Fancy a tea and a biscuit, Miss Walter?" The silver-haired Mr. Evans asked as Mrs. Evan murmured something about their boss, who was waiting for her in his private office. Lily shook her head. "Follow me, Miss Walters. You will have your tea in the Alph- I-I mean, in the boss's office." The smiling woman added and motioned for her to follow while the man went in the opposite direction. As they approached the stairs, Lily was surrounded by four columns, leading to the most elegant doors she had ever seen. They were made of mahogany and have a stained glass window in the center. The handles and the frame were made of brass and silver. As they continue aroun
Five minutes into the snowy path, Lily began to regret her life choices when she heard a long series of wolves' howls that made her shiver. "What the hell was that?" Rhye furrowed his brow, knowing exactly what the human had been asking as he adjusted their flashlight. His five guardians had been howling half a mile behind them. So he told them to stop. "What are you talking about?" "Those howls... those are fucking wolves, right? Jesus, I don't want to be eaten alive." "They are not harmless, Lily, they are the guardians of this mountain." "Guardian? Are you kidding me? That only happened in the fucking movie, and trust me, they aren't like Jacob, who had a great, amazing body and eyes to die for. I'm not going to risk being a fresh meal for those wolves." Rhye wondered and asked his five guardians if they knew anything about the Jacob she was talking about and all of them didn't have any idea. "Who is this Jacob?" Rhye halted on his walk and asked. "What? You believe those w
Lily couldn’t help but notice the impatience in Rhye’s jaw as he ground his back teeth and his shoulder blades tightened. She hoped she wasn’t reading something into his reaction that wasn’t there, because facing that dense mountain, going in willingly, had her doubting her own senses. The mountain seemed to be calling for her; it was like some primitive urges made her skin crawl. Something deep inside her was slithering like it wanted out. Her pulse was battered. A cold sequence of fear scraped around her heart. She’d traveled so far outside her own solace, away from her comfort zone, that her strengths were already fried. It was too much, too soon. "Wait... Are we going to the s-shortcut to your elders' manor now?" "Yes, it won't take time." He replied and stepped further, leaving her five steps behind. "Rhye? I-I'm scared… I heard wolves and it's too dark now." "Don't be scared, I'm here, Lily." He waited and took her hand and clasped it right around his. "Oh, are we going the
Walking along the modern, lantern-covered stone pathway towards the supposed little mountain cottage, Lily gaped at the beautiful scenery. With all the solar lanterns, little moonshine, and the smell of fresh mint and lilac. She was hell sure it was not worth such high drama. Because, being in the fucking mountains, she expected to dwell in an old rat-infested cabin where she would be attacked by some maniac with a bloody chainsaw and a fleshy mask, yet looking at the five-star garden-like landscape, it felt too surreal. It was like she was in another world. "Mr. Gosling, are you sure that is your cottage? And we are not trespassing on this mountain?" She asked, with obvious wonder. Rhye halted and raised his brow. "Of course, why did you ask?" "Well, it's quite strange. I thought this was a secluded mountain... or forest... or whatever you rich dudes called it, but I have seen too many beautiful cabins in the area, and a fucking ancient castle? Wow! It felt like a little community
Alpha Rhye from the Castle, a mile away from Lily, seated in the head council library, was able to read her mind and he wanted to smirk. She had very weird and very unusual thoughts. She didn't have a boring thought either. It was like she was a walking rainbow and sunshine, always brightening his day. Besides, even after they were in his pub, he knew she was different. A peculiarity among the rest. Of course, he intended to keep it that way. Lily's foolish imagination was beyond comparison. She was his happy pill. Her mind was like a race car, unbelievably busy thinking about mundane, stupid things. Yet he would not—no, he could not offer his mate that last insult. He would keep her forever. Rhye nodded at the old man, trying to understand what he was talking about as he sipped his tea. Earlier, after their dinner, he told Lily to wait for him as one of the female omegas offered her tea in the living room of his cottage. And now, Rhye was talking with the council of elders. The head
Shock at what she’d done had barely begun to flicker through her mind when she felt something heavy and oppressive build within her. A sudden, sharp pain in her chest had her crying out as something foreign inside her pulled tight, stretching like a rubber band. Oh, god, it hurts. It felt like every atom of her being was being simultaneously crushed and pulled to its breaking point. The foreign sensation grew stronger and heavier until it felt like she was being ripped apart. The agony was unreal. She tried to scream her pain, but her chest was caving in, and she couldn’t breathe. It was gathering her power. She could feel it, like a thorned vine, latching onto the tendrils; she could feel it squeezing them, choking them. With a violent, agonising wrench, it yanked her power back into her, the cold, burning pain of it tearing a ragged shriek from her throat. Like a hand swatting a fly, the whiplash of it folded her body in half and sent her hurtling toward the floor. Strong arms
Thighs clenching at the feel of it, so erotically foreign, yet so right, she writhed between kisses and moaned. In response, Rhye coils his tail around her leg, guiding her to widen her stance. He slipped a thigh between her legs at the same moment he cupped her breasts, as he sucked her earlobe into his mouth. Moaning in delight... "Oh, God..." Livia growled.The multitude of sensations had her crying out into Rhye’s mouth. Pressing her breasts into his hands, she ground down against his thigh, needing the pressure where she was so wet and swollen for him.Like an extra set of arms, she felt him wrap his majestic tail around her, enclosing her in a cocoon of warmth, safety, and need. Even with her eyes closed, she knew he didn’t surround her completely. She didn’t have to wonder why. The knowledge that he’d left a gap so she could breathe and her inner demon could watch unimpeded had a new rush of wetness slicking her core. It was like she had been transported to a different dimensio
That was enough to snap her out of the trance.Unsure if she was more freaked out about being hypnotized by a fucking tail, or charmed that it seemed to like her, she pet it in return, carefully stroking a fingertip lightly over the spade tip.If it were possible, her eyes would have widened even more at the shiver working through Rhye.Did he like that?Oh, how she wanted to play and find out.Soon, it retreated, and Livia marvelled at all three men as she really, truly realised that they weren’t humans. They were predators and, unlike humans, had the features necessary to both lure in prey and kill it. Joseph’s eyes, Rhye’s tail—they were all mesmerising."Like cuttlefish," she muttered under her breath.Rhye zeroed in on her and cocked his head. "What’s that?""Oh, nothing." Peering up at Rhye, she prompted, "You wanted to ask something earlier?"The alpha gave her a look that said he knew she was intentionally redirecting the conversation but that he was going with it. "How did it
The words escaped without thought, but she didn’t have the mental capacity to regret them, even when the room was suddenly full of low, masculine laughter."Does that mean you think I’m pretty, too?" Leon rumbled, his eyes, now a vivid purple, sparkling—literally sparkling—as though they were dotted with a thousand tiny stars.His voice had already been deep, but now it was even more so. The gravelly, bass sound vibrated through her like distant thunder but was also creepy at the same time, but Livia didn't show how scared she was of the two-headed wolf. There was something about Leon's wolf that made her shiver with fear. He was something else. There was darkness in him, and she could see it. Livia paused, seeing a vision of Leon killing Joseph in the subway, while Rhye was unconscious on his side. Livia gasped; anger settled over her, and rage throbbed in her like a heartbeat. Leon creeped into Joseph... He would kill him. Livia could feel it... She didn't have a choice but to use h
Livia frowned. She picked up on that apparently being a bad thing easily enough, but why he thought she would care was beyond her. When she voiced as much, he just blinked at her like she’d stunned him speechless; at first, she was sure.Peering between the two of them, she took in the tense set of their shoulders and the tightness in their expressions that lingered, despite her assurance that she didn’t care about their lack of purity.Deciding to fix the problem she’d inadvertently caused, Livia smiled softly at them. "I don’t care if you’re pure or as mixed as milk and coffee, but I’ve obviously stepped on a sore point, so I rescind my invitation." Hoping to lighten the mood, she ended with a haughty sniff and an imperious wave of her hand.Joseph’s eyes narrowed to suspicious slits. "Well! Now that you don’t want to see, I want to show you. What is this witchery?"Leon made a low sound and nodded, mimicking Joseph’s suspicious expression, though his grey eyes were dancing with amu
Speechless, Livia gaped at the beautiful monster before her. Drawn like a moth to a flame, she took a step closer, wanting, needing to see him, to touch him. She managed a single step before Rhye cursed, eyes wide and dark brows furrowed, as he stared down at himself."How the fuck did you do that?" he demanded, pinning her with a stunned look.God, but his eyes were unreal. Vibrant, ocean deep blue with a sunburst of bright green around the pupils. They were the eyes of a predator. Eyes of a pureblood alpha. She wanted to get lost in them, wanted to stare into them until she’d mapped every facet."I have no idea," she admitted with a slow shake of her head. At the disbelieving expression he gave her, she tried to think past the shock of seeing him and explained, "The heat of your power was starting to get painful, and then, all of a sudden, it felt like mine got pissed off and threw yours back at you.""You shouldn’t be capable of that," Rhye muttered, but it was said almost absently
The memory of the creepy, child-looking demon and the sensation of it sucking the power out of her, remembering how weak she’d felt afterward, sent a shiver down her spine and hardened her resolve. All her martial arts and self-defense training had been useless against the thrall it had used on her. She’d spent too long and worked too hard to not be a victim to give up on this now. Rhye smirked at her for the second time that day, setting a new record. His eyes shone with approval at the resolve in hers. “I can force your power out of you. If you’ll allow me to try,” he tacked on at the end. Livia appreciated the effort he was making to be more polite, now he knew she wasn’t a spy sent to surveil them. She just wasn’t sure how to react to this new Rhye. He’d gone from cold and dangerous to interested and almost nice. Almost. It was a jarring change. Seductive, dangerously enticing, and intriguing as hell, but still jarring. Livia glanced at them, gauging their reactions to his of
Cocking her head, Livia frowned at him. "I don’t understand." Her eyes went wide as it hit her. "Oh my god, I get it. So, if they make vampires popular in movies and books, demons will become stronger because more humans are glorifying them. Same for witches and werewolves and everything else, yes?""Exactly.""Holy shit. I wonder how much I affected them in my Twilight phase as a kid."Joseph growled, "Those fucking movies! The "vampire" and "werewolf" demons were out of control. The "underworld demons" were pissed. They’d been top dogs for most of what"—he glanced at Leon—"like the last thousand years?""Mm, thereabouts, yes.""Wait. Did I hear you say ‘top dogs’?" she asked, ignoring the twilight thing in favor of something more important."Yes, but now anymore," Leon nodded.“Spiteful little fuckers, really. And always hungry!” Joseph pointed to a few thin white scars crisscrossing the back of his hand, scars she’d somehow never noticed before. “They like people meat, and they are
"As Joseph said, it’s not exclusively a torture chamber, and it’s not used as such all that often. Only when we’re left with no other recourse," Rhye soothed with a small smile.Her gentle giant, the man who touched her with such tenderness and care, was talking about torturing people with about the same amount of contrition as confessing he didn’t always take the time to recycle.That wasn’t actually what shocked her, though. She knew they were on the dark grey side of the morality scale.When she continued to frown at him, he lifted a hand and cupped her cheek, looking suddenly unsure. "Does that bother you, Livia? Would it help to know we don’t hurt the innocent?"Rhye was very still at her back, she noticed. He hadn’t pulled away from her physically, but she could sense him closing off, could almost feel him pulling the cold, unfeeling mask back into place.Joseph, who’d strolled farther into the room, snorted. "Of course she knows that!" He stopped walking when she didn’t immedia
