“Conrad will be back this afternoon,” I announced to the group. “So this will be my last time leading the morning meeting. Thank you all so much for your support this past week and a half, it’s been my pleasure to get the day started with all of you.” I dismissed everyone after I delivered this lit
His performance in this video was so impressive, I couldn’t help but find it sublimely arrogant of him to film it and send it to me. But my whole mouth just filled with saliva as I watched it. His strength and power just looked so impossibly effortless. He was of course also shirtless in this vide
Alexander “He’s gone into hiding.” Conrad peeled an onion and chopped it in half. Then he took one half at a time and cut them quickly into thin, half-moon slivers. “I don’t think that’s what he started out doing when he left,” he continued. “But it’s what he’s doing now. Hunkered down, and I’m t
The second we were seated, he jumped back up and went right back to the kitchen, apparently remembering a half-empty wine glass he’d left by the stove. I took a huge bite of the cheesesteak sandwich. It was divine. “You could take up a new career in the restaurant industry,” I suggested. “From wha
My car pulled up to the curb just in time for me to glimpse Alexander hopping out of the driver’s seat of a Bentley he’d just parked nearby. He jogged straight to my door and beat my driver to the task of opening it for me. “Hey, gorgeous,” he said, extending an open hand. “Good timing.” I let hi
I jolted upright with needless panic. My sleepy brain was piecing together what was happening. “What’s wrong?” Alexander asked groggily. “Nothing. Just Nina. For some reason she’s already here.” He looked at the time on his phone. “Why?” “I don’t know.” I texted: Why? Didn’t we plan on 9? It’
Fiona “Aw, you found her.” Alexander held our bedroom door open for Nina, then followed her inside. I’d just finished texting to let him know I was done showering and getting ready. Then a couple seconds later the two of them were at the door. “I sure did.” A little twitch of Alexander’s eyebrow
Alexander I watched the pack from a distance, pretty sure they couldn’t see me from my strategically selected vantage point, for a few minutes. They were running a punishing rope-based obstacle course that I was sure Kayden had spent a lot of time setting up this morning. Probably trying to distra
“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
