I don’t know how I lasted as long as I did. Alex didn’t wait for me to come down from my first climax before manhandling me into a new position and fucking me hard again while strumming his fingers on my clit and forcing me right back down into the ether. His grunts of pleasure were inhuman, his mov
“Quite a view,” Grayson muttered, gazing out the picture window in my study. The day was brisk, with a chilling breeze that had scrubbed the blue sky clear. “I suppose I take it for granted much of the time,” I confessed. During our brunch, Fiona had communicated to me that she believed Grayson
And so were both Liv and Dana. I could feel it. We were all lethargic, craving the warmth of indoors and the comfort of a cozy blanket… “Let me walk you to your rooms. We can all probably use a little break, some time to unwind and refresh ourselves. We’ll chat more when we meet up again later for
Third person The metal cuffs on Lucas’s wrists were clasped so tight that they dug into his bones. His skin was raw all around them, red and swollen and scabbing in some places and freshly bleeding in others. “Try to shift and you’ll regret it,” Donovan had said the first time he clamped the hea
Alexander Grayson and I talked at length. The afternoon sun told the time as it slipped across the bright, clear sky. He kept stealing glances out the window, and I became quite sure he was lusting after the forest, wishing he could get outside and go for a run through the trees. Too bad we ha
Fiona “I think she’s pregnant,” I finally told Alex. “Unexpectedly.” Perhaps I ought not have. I will spilling a secret. But he was kind of silently badgering me. Giving me suspicious, squinty looks. Somehow my husband just knew that I had learned something from my extra time with Liv this aft
Oh—because I was clenching it like a freaking vise. I sipped from the glass of water Alex offered me, then placed it on the nightstand. “You’re okay, Fi. You were just having another nightmare. I heard you talking, saying something about…” I worked my jaw open and closed a few times. It was te
Third person “Think it’s coming soon,” Tuesday whispered. “Daylight. They been gone a while.” Lucas shushed her so faintly, the sound could have been mistaken for an exhale. If she was right, great. If not… she should not be talking about their plan, not yet. Not when they could still be near.
“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
