Nina helped me carry all my shopping bags in from the car. It was necessary, because I’d bought a lot of stuff. I had texted Alexander to let him know when we were parking at the palace, and he replied right away saying he’d slip out of training in a few minutes so he could spend the rest of the ev
“Is something wrong?” I asked. He shook his head like no but said, “I’m sorry. Guess I’m a little distracted.” I took his hand and led him over to the bed. “Come sit,” I said. I really needed to get off my feet. “I should take a shower first,” Alexander grumbled. “Just sit down for a minute.” H
Fiona I licked the now-sticky sweat off Alexander’s skin, starting at his neck and working my way down. He eased backward to lie flat on the bed and took me down with him. His body stiffened underneath me and he groaned with pleasure as I continued moving my tongue all over him. He really did like
“And you look lovely as always. I like this.” He looked me up and down while shrugging on a deep blue jacket that completed his suit. “Thanks. I got it yesterday.” I smoothed out the fabric of my new, soft and stretchy rose pink dress. It was more comfortable than anything else I’d worn in a while.
Alexander “You sure you don’t want me to go in with you?” I shook my head at Kayden. “Don’t bother. I’ll need to talk with him alone in there anyway.” Highland Prison was a square brick building surrounded by high, double-lined and barbed wire-topped thatched metal fencing. It really was in th
“I’m sorry to disrupt your schedule like this, Nina.” “Girl, no. No worries at all. I can practice any time, but you? I only have limited opportunities to hang out with you, and I’ll take them whenever I can.” I was very grateful Nina was willing to cancel her other plans and spend the afternoon
Fiona “Put the phone away,” Nina said sternly. I hadn’t realized I’d taken it out again, and was sitting there staring at a lock screen with no new notifications. “Thank you,” I muttered to my friend. Alexander had warned me this morning that he would not be reachable for most of the day. Cell r
“He tried to be gentle about the way he said this, but the bottom line I understood was, he finds her pretty difficult to tolerate, and he’s just trying to be a good guy in keeping her there. Really doesn’t seem like he has any other interest.” “I didn’t think that he did.” “Well. Now you have con
“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
