Third person The hotel room where Scarlet had been staying was plenty comfortable. Luxurious, even. A sprawling suite with a spacious bedroom, a well-stocked kitchenette, a cozy sitting room with a big-screen TV, and a large bathroom with both a spa shower and a soaker tub. But she was about to
Of course, that didn’t really make any sense. But it was as good an explanation as any for something otherwise inexplicable. After wandering around Scarlet’s room for a minute, apparently evaluating her accommodations, Caius turned to face her and stepped close. Close enough that she had to crane
Fiona “My beautiful girls.” Alexander smiled at us from the doorway as he walked in. I was reclined in bed, feeding Lexi, and met his smile with one of my own. Nina had been in the nursery helping to tidy it up. She walked back into the bedroom, sliding her phone into the back pocket of her shor
I exhaled heavily. Thinking about how good it felt for me when he did that had me squirming, too. My body was nearing the end of its patience. “Last time, it only took one go to get me pregnant, so yeah, you shouldn’t come inside me. But… fuck, I can’t wait, Alex. You’ll just need to pull out toni
Alexander “You have no idea how badly I needed that.” Fiona laughed. “Uh, I have some idea.” We were still damp from the shower, lying naked in a half-stripped bed, content and sleepy with afterglow. She had her head on my chest so I couldn’t see her eyes, but I got the feeling she was rolling
Brandon sputtered. “But…” “I’m on my way. I don’t want anyone else anywhere nearby when I arrive. Tell them to evacuate. Now. Understood?” “Understood. I’ll call police chief now.” Fiona had her own clothes on already. She collected mine before I finished the call and now was helping me get dr
We shifted into our wolf forms, hunkered down and braced for the assault. A half dozen or so vampires were on the three of us immediately, their fangs out and jaws stretched wide open, running and flying in at impossible speeds. Vampires are fast, but so are my reflexes; I leapt high into the air
Fiona “I’m sorry but vampires? Fi—vampires are here? VAMPIRES?!” She woke up the baby. Shit. Lexi had been crying so. much. these past couple days. “Nina.” I closed my eyes and left them closed a moment. I was so tired. My friend clapped a hand over her mouth. “I’m so sorry, I’ll go get her.”
“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
