“Fiona! Wait up!” The young man who delivered our mail flagged me down, whisper-shouting my name, as I walked down the hall toward Conrad’s office in the morning, on my way to turn in some reports. “Hello,” I greeted him cordially. “Do you have something for me?” I passed my boss’s door and met the
“I was surprised when I got your text,” Alexander said with a smile, meeting me at the door. “And happy to hear that you could finally get out of the office at a reasonable hour. I have to say, I do like it when you’re back here with me before sundown.” “Me too.” I gave him the softest smile I cou
Alexander raised his eyebrows and asked, “How so?” I detected a hint of jealousy in his voice, which I had not been expecting or attempting to incite. It did not take much to make him jealous, I was learning. And I had to admit that I kind of liked it. It just reminded me that Alexander desired me.
I took a very short shower and readied myself for bed once Alexander was gone to lead evening training with his pack. I was tired enough to fall asleep early, and I wasn’t sure I was capable of letting him touch me right now, while my mind was still wired and racing through everything. Just this mo
Fiona I headed off to work early, bundled up against the cold dark of pre-dawn, pondering Alexander’s lies. It was clear that he was not planning to tell me the truth about secretly being my boss. At least not anytime soon. I took my phone out of my pocket and texted Nina, asking if she was up. I
“Dancing? Like…” “Yes, like stripping.” She shrugged her shoulders. “I got off my shift an hour ago and was just about to head home when you texted me. And that’s why I’m starving – been working the past six hours.” I leaned back, squinting at Nina. She gave me a tired smile. This news did not fee
Third Person “An interesting place to meet.” Fiona’s father, dressed in a dark brown suit, had his hands in his pockets and was looking around with judgmental amusement. “It’s not as if we could meet at my home,” the Queen snapped, giving him a severe look. They were at the home of another noblema
Alexander It was almost a quarter to midnight by the time Fiona got back to the palace. She had kept me updated about needing to stay late at work and her expected arrival time home, just as I had requested. And I had plenty of work to do in my office while waiting up for her. But I simply could n
“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
