Fiona Alexander said he had business matters to attend to in the city and needed to leave for a few hours. His eyes were narrow and solemn as he told me he would be back to join me for dinner in the evening. He had not apologized for leaving me alone here for days. But I knew better than to expect
“Your meeting will be on the eighty-ninth floor,” the receptionist said, making my eyes go wide. I could not even imagine how high up that was. “Just go through the line right over here,” she continued, pointing. “Go through security and head up in any of the main elevators. You’re riding that to
Fiona “Thank you for setting up that interview,” I said to Alexander, as soon as we were alone in the dining room, our glasses and dinner plates full. He looked at me with mild surprise, paused, then shook his head. “You don’t need to thank me. Once I realized that your talents were available, I
Conrad slid the items across the desk. I picked them up and tucked them into the pocket of my jacket. He stood abruptly then and clapped his big hands together. I rose from my chair. “Let’s get to work, then, shall we? I’ll show you to your office.” The rest of the workday flew by in a blur. A vo
Third person “It has been only five days, Alexander, and already Fiona has recouped the company millions of dollars. Millions! That no one else even noticed was going missing… for ten years.” Alexander’s eyebrows shot up. “Please explain that scenario.” Conrad caught him up on the account that Fi
Third person Fiona strode into her boss’s corner office, carrying a neat stack of paperwork. Conrad was pacing the room while speaking on the phone by way of a headset tucked into his right ear. It was invisible under his thick, dark gray hair, except for a tiny blue light that blinked intermitten
Alexander “You were right once again.” Uncle Conrad grinned at me from across his desk. “Fiona is ready. And she is even more capable than I could have imagined. I am confident that she can handle the expansion project.” My uncle was a difficult man to impress, and only one thing could make him sm
Fiona The warm touch of Alexander’s hand lightly stroking my cheek brought me out of a deep sleep, and I blinked my eyes open to find him sitting beside me on the bed. “I hate to wake you,” he said softly. “But you need to eat something.” He ran his fingers through my hair, his rough fingertips gr
“Maybe. But I could say the same to you, Alex.” He looked down and suddenly became aware that he was holding my full weight while standing on his two legs. This was the strongest Alex had been yet, since returning from the desert. I could feel the power pulsing off of him. He was back to himself a
Fiona “I’m so glad we’re finally doing this.” I closed my eyes and inhaled a deep breath of fresh, cool forest air. The smells of pine, damp earth and my Alpha’s masculine scent combined to soothe and excite my senses all at once. Alexander pulled his shirt off and dropped it onto a large, flat
“I just can’t believe it,” Fiona said. She had the baby slung lazily but comfortably on her hip. Both of them had their blue eyes focused on Nina while she worked on packing her belongings into a big suitcase splayed out atop her fluffy white bedspread. “We’re going to miss you so much here.” “I w
Third person Having his wrists in handcuffs was still unpleasant. Lucas wondered if the sensation of wrist restraints would ever stop triggering memories of his time in captivity. But after weeks in prison, where he was given adequate food and reasonable living conditions, Lucas was pretty sure th
TWO MONTHS LATER. Alexander I slid my hands all over Fiona’s soft, wet skin, tracing the shapes of her curves. It was a relief to have mostly normal use of my hands again, though I was still getting used to the new sensation of having my thumbs free and being able to move them. I was loving this
AlexanderIt was as simple as that. Fiona ignored the stupid things coming out of my mouth, pinned my broken body underneath her and forced me to change my mindstate.She snapped me out of that dark place of near insanity by feeding me her beautiful, intoxicating body and pressing her own energy into
He knew that I was close. He let out a sexy, vibrating growl as he moved his lips up to my clit and sucked it hungrily, then returned his tongue to my core and pressed it up inside me again. I cried out his name and gripped his head with my thighs when ecstatic relief hit me like a wave. The volum
He tried to push me away, but I shoved his arms down to the bed. “Are you going to fight me, Alex? Are you going to force me off of you? Hm? Are you going to hurt me?” My voice was razor-sharp, my tone ice-cold. “Fiona—” “Now you listen to me.” I straddled his broad chest and sat down onto it. “
I’d heard Alexander throwing up in the shower, that night when he fought the vampires at the courthouse. He’d been absolutely covered in that black gunk when he returned from that first battle, and he’d used up half a tube of toothpaste cleaning his mouth afterward. But when he returned to the pal
