The ground-floor bar was packed, but as Nina pushed forward through the crowd, people started taking notice and parted to make way. “Elektra!” someone shrieked. Others echoed this name in whispers and shouts of all volumes. Nina glanced around the room, smiling a wicked and cripplingly sexy smile
She obliged, but made every man sit on his knees at her feet and teased him mercilessly before finally dousing his eager mouth. She kicked them all roughly to the floor, too, after sloppily pouring liquor all over them. They clearly loved every second of it. Finally, Nina made eye contact with a m
Fiona Alexis was having a difficult night. She was tired but too fussy to sleep, and cried every single time I tried to put her down. I suspected that my own anxious energy was affecting her and did my best to keep myself as calm as possible for her sake. But I was worried sick about Nina. I kne
All three of us turned our heads when we heard the sound of Alexander’s distinctive footsteps approaching. When he turned the corner and spotted Nina and Kayden, his eyes went round as saucers. “I’m good, boss,” Kayden called out to him. “It’s not my blood. We’re uninjured.” “What happened?” Ale
The young man who’d been apprehended at the nightclub was bedraggled, pale, hungover and practically jumping out of his skin. I didn’t sit right beside him like I’d done with the soldiers. I sat across the table instead. And I didn’t touch him when he came in. I just waited quietly, keeping the ma
I let go of his hand and moved my eyes to Alexander. “He’s telling the truth.” Simon exhaled heavily. “So… does that mean I can go now?” Alex coughed out a single laugh. “My men will escort you from the palace now, yes. All the way to the city jail.” “What? No—I told you everything I know, man
Alex and I started walking back to our room, now that the day’s work was done. But before we could make an expected turn down a familiar hallway, he suddenly grabbed my wrist and pulled me in a different direction. “Where are we going?” He looked down at me with a suggestive smile. “Nina can w
She smiled slightly, took my hand and kissed the top of it. “I think I’m okay, my love. I think it’s been long enough. I would let you know if anything felt wrong, too, and we could stop.” I nodded. “Good. Okay. The other thing…” I found my free hand anxiously rubbing at my mouth. I wasn’t sure ho
“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
