Alexander Cal had found some anomalies on the drone footage he was studying this afternoon and was eager to have me and Kayden review his discoveries. They were good catches; the places he pinpointed did look to me like cave mouths that had been tampered with. We arranged to have more drones sent
Fiona “Where will you have them stay?” I’d been pondering this question for a while. After our tryst in the watchtower I returned to Lexi while Alex continued to work in his study. A little over an hour later, he met me back at the room. I’d spent that whole hour thinking about plans for hosting
“Impressive.” Kayden gave her a congratulatory high-five. She followed up with a smug wink. She was not surprised she’d won. She was in her element off the ground. They continued through more of Kayden’s workout routine, getting competitive with everything. Nina crushed it, wowing her beau, but af
Fiona The interior decorator was a slight woman with shiny, shoulder-length black hair pinned back on one side with a neat bronze hairclip that matched her stylish blazer. She greeted me with a gigantic smile. “I’m sorry,” she said instead of hello. “I am quite nervous about meeting you, Your High
The word Brandon had used was “secretary,” but assistant sounded better to me. Hiring an assistant was something I’d been planning on doing at Crescent, before I left, and I’d been excited about it. I no longer worked in an office, but as Alex’s Luna I still had a big job to do. An even more importa
Fiona “I just realized something—his doctor never called me back. When I was there at the nursing home, I left a message for him. The nurse said he’d call me.” Alexander frowned down at me. “Why don’t you call him right now?” I had just finished telling my husband about my idea for moving Gran
Alexander “Tell me, what exactly happens to vampires in the daytime?” Fiona asked, narrowing her pale blue eyes up at me thoughtfully. “What happens if they are exposed to sunlight? If, say…” She pursed her lips, hesitating. She was avoiding uttering the words: “if their tombs were bombed and
“I’m good,” she said, waving a dismissive hand. “Think I’m just gonna lie down right now. That baby, phew. She can really tire you out.” Nina left. I made a stop at the bathroom and then went to meet Fiona in the nursery. She was just finishing up feeding Lexi, and moving on to wiping the baby’s f
“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
