I walked to the ladies’ room at a casual pace. I never wanted to arouse attention around this kind of thing. I made sure all the stalls were empty first, then locked the main door. And then hurried over to a toilet just in the nick of time. I threw up as quietly as I could, hoping against hope that
Fiona I was back in my office already when Conrad called. “You still doing alright over there?” he asked, loud and fast-talking as ever. “Yes and no,” I answered. “Things are fine, yes. We’re handling it. But we hit a snag with the expansion project. And by snag, I mean a dead stop. It’s a huge p
The medication worked well enough. I was able to retrieve my salad from the breakroom fridge a couple hours later and managed to choke it down and keep it down. I felt cold, though, and tired. Just still not quite right. I was drafting a boring email when I spaced out for a moment and had a vivid f
Alexander I heard a familiar chuckle and looked up to find Kayden smirking at me. “Should I ask?” My Beta had caught me looking down at my phone while walking over to meet him. I’d been setting one of the pics Fiona sent me as her contact photo. “You should not.” I locked my phone and slid it int
But Jacob was looking over at his superior officer with clear respect and gratitude. The energy between the two men had changed a great deal. That’s what I had been hoping for when I’d sent them back into the forest this morning to suffer a few hours of punishment together. “Dismissed, Jacob.” He
“And then what happened?” I heard my voice changing, getting louder and deeper. My skin was flushed, hot with anger. Cal blew air out the side of his mouth. “I had him pinned on the ground, next thing I knew. I was telling him off. But he fought me pretty good. Kid may be dumb as a box of rocks, bu
Me: I’ll start with that big strong chest of yours. Alexander: …and then? Me: And then your arms Alexander: Tell me how you’ll touch me. Me: Soft at first… then harder… Alexander: You know I like that. Me: I know some other places you like me to touch you, too… Alexander: Touch me anywhere yo
Alexander had reduced me to begging. I tried my damnedest to wrestle my wrists free, an effort I knew would be unsuccessful. He laughed darkly under his breath. And tightened his grip on my wrists. “Don’t forget,” I said between heavy breaths. “You’ve already been teasing me all day.” “Are you sa
“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
