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
Alexander “Here to ask me to call off my dogs?” I arched an eyebrow. “I just came here to talk. Are you telling me there are dogs that need to be called off?” “Ah.” James batted a hand through the air dramatically. “No, no. Listen, my guys know better than to mess with the King Pack. I told ‘em t
Alexander gave me a tired half-smile. “No. Prison smells a lot worse.” He pulled off his tie and started unbuttoning his shirt while he crossed the room. “What happened to your jacket?” I couldn’t help but notice that he was not wearing the jacket he’d had on this morning. “I threw it out,” he rep
Fiona “Monday already.” I silenced my first alarm and rolled back into Alexander’s arms. He laughed quietly. “What’s funny?” “I’ve never heard you complain about getting up for work before.” I sighed. “That’s because I love my work. But this weekend just went by too fast.” Alexander pres
“Thank you. I’m Halley. I’m so, so grateful for the chance to interview with you.” Her voice warbled with nerves. I gave Halley a polite smile. It was fine that she was nervous, I thought to myself—as long as she also could show me that she could overcome the nerves quickly. Unfortunately, her
Alexander Fiona texted me as I was stepping out of the shower. My phone was on the bathroom counter by the sink. I saw an image file attached to her text and was eager to open it up. A little too eager—my wet fingers didn’t work on the touch screen; I had to dry my hands and try again. Fiona:
There was no booze in the Alpha King’s coffee today. I would have smelled it. “Well, Father, what’s new with you on this fine Monday morning?” I asked, taking a seat opposite him under the picture window in his study. The day was indeed sunny and clear, the air fresh with the scent of damp earth.
“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
