Adrian Muaas Knox

"Muaas-"

"No, Ru- I mean Elaine. It's late, sleep. The doctor said you need rest."

Adrian uttered to the girl who insisted she wanted to speak longer with him as if it had been long since they last saw each other.

"You almost called me your wife's name."

Her observational skill was always annoying.

"Elaine."

He warned.

She was in her nightgown in the guest bedroom. He stood by the door because he couldn’t risk standing closer; he didn't feel like himself around her so the best would be distance.

The feeling had been there since she learned to use her lashes when speaking.

Something about the innocence of her eyes drove him insane. Well, it used to drive him insane before he saw tears in Ruby’s crimson gaze, yet still, he no longer felt the ease he did around Elaine.

She was like a kid sister to him, and now…she puzzled every fibre in his being.

"Muaas."

She uttered with a smile to his annoyance before both of them broke out in laughter.

    **Trigger warning: Drug abuse and Violence.**'What are you proud of, princess?'Again, Beta Leon's words play in my mind as I admire the sleek comfort of the Alpha’s car.My own, is in mother’s name, and I am uncertain as to whether she would let me return with it, so rather than risk it, I took the Alpha’s.Did he, like his Beta, have a car he saved up for? I know he is fond of the blue one; hence I took the SUV, but what did it mean to him?Was it like the tattoos up his arm? Did it hold a meaning so tender that he couldn’t tell ‘a Clive’?A sigh escapes my lips before more floods my mind.‘Call me Adrian when Elaine or anyone else is around.’Why would he say that? He has never permitted me to call him Adrian, even in my past life. Is it because he sees Elaine as a woman and wants to deter her by having us seem close?Why would he want to seem close to me though…guilt for the gala, or sex?It shouldn’t be sex; we are done in that sector, and plus, wouldn’t it feel better with his

    Adrian M. Knox"How can she get to school this late?"His mother questioned as she plated a second helping for him.It was his fault; firstly, he waited till the afternoon to travel, and secondly, at her insistence that she wished to visit his mother, he made the trip home first as opposed to school.On all counts, he knew that he was at fault.He couldn’t ‘not’ yield to her.Even if it meant that he would pick Ruby up late."I need to go pick up my wife.""The wife you will not introduce us to?”His mother asked as she shook her head, something she always did when she assumed he was telling a lie.Without awaiting his defence, she continued.“Adrian, have you ever seen Elaine ask for something?"He sighed before answering his mother."No.""Then, let her stay the night with us. The whole family missed her, and she is a top student, so-""So, I can catch up easily."Elaine added from the door as she invited herself to the kitchen, making the scent of food vanish to her delightfully su

    The wounds on my body are fully sealed; I am not bleeding anymore. The bruises have vanished, but the scars will remain for a day or two.The only problem is my hand.Fixing the dislocation was easy, but that's not saying much for the broken bone.I slide down the tub filled with warm water and open my eyes from beneath.The ceiling seems to move with the ripples of the water, almost as if it were not real; hell, I would give anything for this to be a nightmare I haven’t woken up from.The longer I hold my breath beneath the water, the more my lungs burn.But I like the burn because, like this, I feel as if I can turn off the world.As if I were in control and in just a second, I could disappear.In the woods...I didn't want to die.Was it a survival instinct? Because I don't mind it so much now...What about in the future? When I leave Ketria, will I still feel this way?No, I’ll have Elle.The thought brings me to the surface of the water. The air rushing to my lungs chokes me.Elle

    "What?"The word from the Alpha’s lips does not sound like a question; he heard me; his ‘what’ sounds more like a dare.As if he was daring me to repeat my question.Then again, I could be wrong; it could be that I have interpreted the intensity of his gaze wrongly."Leon, your beta.”I repeat, turning to face him from the door.“Can I fuck him? I want to.""No..."He utters in a dangerous whisper as he stands from his seat ever so slowly.Why? Why is he standing? I can take the no by itself.An urge to swallow finds my tongue; that must be why I swallow the dryness in my mouth, not out of nervousness at his dangerous aura and the sudden loudness of his scent.My hand finds my throat before a cough escapes me.I feel like I am suffocating, yet…my body breathes just fine."No! No, you cannot fuck my beta. Are you sick?"He continues his voice louder as if he were not clear in his whisper."Sick? I only asked permission; wouldn’t it be worse if I didn't and proceeded to seduce him?"“Se

    His eyes lower to my lips, no doubt perplexed by the smile that I cannot seem to keep at bay.It could be my imagination, but his face draws closer to mine, and his grip on my neck lessens, not that it matters; I am already certain his hand will leave a bruise that will again keep me indoors for longer than I wish."Mua..aas."The instant I pry the name from my constricted throat, his grip opens. If it were not for the door’s support, I would have crumbled to the ground.A series of coughs escapes my lips as oxygen rushes into my airway.He doesn't apologise. He doesn't even feign concern; merely waits for my coughing to subside and then tilts my chin to meet his face.He wants to issue a warning, I can tell.I despise how his height permits him to look down on me with ease; it's even worse that the coughing has wet my eyes.I must look pathetic in his gaze."Did you like that...me calling you Muaas as she does. Or do you hate it from my lips because I am not below the age of eighteen

    Adrian M KnoxHis body was on fire; everything within Adrian felt as if it were melting. Her scent watered his mouth, and her sex squeezed him so perfectly that his rock into her elicited another and another that he could not control.He had no protection on him. His life could change in a matter of seconds, and he would be pronounced a father to a child he was certain he would have trouble accepting, but he couldn't bring himself to stop.She clung to him, her lips on his, her moans echoing and vibrating against his mouth, and her hands around him.He did not mean to slam her back against the door, but he needed more; he needed to move faster.The kiss's break caused her eyes to flutter open again, holding him captive in their unnatural shade.Her hands toyed with his hair, and for a moment, he waited for her objection; he would stop if she insisted...right?No... he couldn't, and he wouldn't risk her halting him either.With that decision echoing in his being, his lips found hers ag

    "I don't need pink roses in the gardens that face my room."I utter loudly as I step outside, my heavy breath condensing in the air’s cold.I should have grabbed a coat, but the sun’s rays shone too deceitfully for that to cross my mind."And good morning to you too, Princess."Beta Leon utters as he shuts the door to his truck after pulling out a few documents.Despite the shuddering breath that leaves me, he seems fine, dressed only in a plain grey t-shirt that rests straining against his muscles and some old brown pants."Couldn’t you find something better to wear?"Ah shit...I didn't mean to say that out loud."For gardening?"He asks, genuine confusion creasing his brows."You ask that as if you plan on doing the digging alone.""Not alone, but I do plan on doing some digging.""Why? Don't you have other responsibilities to tend to as a Beta, as opposed to playing gardener?"A smile creeps up his face."My word, Princess, it's almost as if you are trying to figure me out.""You v

    Adrian M Knox"What?"His hand on hers tightened; even he could tell that his hold would bruise her, but he didn't care. The beat of his heart, the blood humming in his veins and the dizziness that claimed him all wanted to wipe the smile off her face.Her wince was slight, but her crimson-stained lips held its annoying smile."Looking for a pity fuck from my beta? After I specifically asked you-"He was so furious that his words came off with a tremble, so he stopped and reconfigured his words so that they did not sound like an angered plea."Ruby...have you forgotten who I am?"He could feel his wolf magnify his sense of betrayal such that even though the Beta's scent was not on her, he believed her filthy words."Is everything okay?"The Beta's concern sounded, and his eyes whirled to the man standing next to his truck; when did he even leave his seat?"What the hell were you doing with my wife?""Oh...we just went to get flowers from the outskirts of Dermont.

    Hi! That’s a wrap for ‘The Alpha’s Ruby Obsession’; it has been the wildest ride yet. On matters pertaining to bonuses, they will not always be guaranteed a happy ending or to give a sense of closure. Additionally, going forward, not all stories will have bonuses. On to the main matter: I want a light book for my next project, something that doesn’t make me teary while writing and also, I want to leave the woods for the big city for a while, so I thought, why not get high blood pressure and delve into the world of greedy mother-in-laws and audacious husbands in My next book, a billionaire romance, ‘Trillionaire After Divorce’. It should be out by January if all factors are cooperative; it will not be as tragic as this one, but it will still have some darkness...and tons of romantic angst. I’ll tell you this in advance: be ready to throw hands at audacities! As usual, it will be 18+; whatever will I do without smut? As always, thank you for reading, and hopefully, I will see you in

    ** Ruby. "Last step. Just jump. I will catch you." I whisper to Elle, who throws her little arms around my shoulders as she takes her leap of faith gracefully. "Good girl." I praise her quickly before placing her on the ground and holding her hand so we can run across the empty street. It was not in any of my plans to use the window at one a.m., essentially alerting my little sister, Elle, of something going wrong, but I had no choice; Dominic had his men surround my apartment, so if I stayed, I would be forced to sleep with men, now that I have been injected contraceptives on his coin already. After helping Elle in the car waiting for us, I hop in the passenger seat before Wanda drives off. “Thanks, Wanda.” I utter finally as we enter the main road. “Baby, this is stupid; you know Dom will never let you go.” "He will if you seduce him for me. " I utter softly, and her light and refreshing laugh lighten the mood in the car. “Open the glove box.” I do as she asks, but insi

    Adrian "That's the girl." Adrian's gaze lifted in the direction his friend pointed. "The number one of business school." It didn't irk him as much as Leon, his best friend, meant for it to; after all, numbers meant nothing to him unless they were in the form of currency and had never found a soul wealthier than his family, even in the university. In fact, it didn't matter so much that he wanted to walk to her and invite her to his group, scholarship or not; she earned the right to associate with him, at least within the confines of the school. "Tell her to join us. No, tell her that she can be sitting with us instead of alone." He ushered Elaine; she was something of a kid sister to him. "What? Why? She is poor; I highly doubt that she can purchase from our section; you’ll just make her feel bad." "She stole my spot in the school, so I want everyone to know she earned the right to sit with us. Plus, we can buy her food if she can’t afford it." The notion made little sense to

    The last Chapter of the Bonus will be tomorrow. ** “I didn’t ask you to protect me! I wasn’t in danger.” His sneer rises, and I wince, anticipating another slap, but instead, he clicks his tongue. “You will need to visit a family planning establishment to get your affairs in order; if you are going to start taking in men, then-” “I will get you the money!” “By tomorrow? Because your debt just went up by eight hundred thousand.” “I didn’t ask you to interrupt. Don’t give the refund let me go out there and-.” Dominic’s hand rises, and I flinch before the sound of his tongue clicking against the roof of his mouth echoes once again. “I will give you the day off tomorrow, but Maurice will escort you to the family planning centre. I’ll show you an easy way to pay me back if you are in such a rush to escape me. Now, take that coat off. You look stupid wearing it.” "Will I look more dignified to the men you intend to whore me out to?" Dominic winces, but his expression does not soft

    Hi! Quick disclaimer: The bonus stories are not guaranteed a happy or ‘closure-inducing’ ending. Please read at your own risk. Adrian’s hands waste no time lowering to my ass to part my flesh apart. "You are not permitted to touch-" “‘Touch the stripper’? I know, but can't you take it as me making your work easier? I am doing you a favour.” “I highly doubt a yeast infection counts as a favour. Either lower your pants because your boxers are certainly cleaner to press against, or let me do my dance in peace.” His hot breath coats my ear as he chuckles. His hands leave my ass to fiddle with his belt and lower his zip, but mother of Christ, why are his knuckles grazing against my centre while he does this? I am certain I have lifted my hips enough for there to be no contact between us. The feel of his fingers hooking upward tells me that his actions are on purpose. But before I can protest, his fingers leave my centre, and instead, his hips thrust upwards on my bare and sensitive

    “Hand me the tape, Joy.” I ask as I hold the last box in place before the garments pop out. “Just a second! Elle, don’t run with scissors!” Elle’s laughter sounds across the hall, making it exceedingly clear that there will be no assistance any time soon. With a sigh, I consider letting the box’s contents explode open, but in the nick of time, a tape gun is pressed on my shoulder. “Oh, thank God. Tape it for me; my arms are holding… the box…closed.” I drawl as surprise takes over my body, causing my grip on the box to lessen such that its contents spill out. “...Adrian?” I call as I stand, ignoring the mess I made. "So, you were going to leave." He utters as if he were merely seeking my confirmation on the matter. "Adrian.” I call with a sigh before looking for the best choice of words. “What are you doing here? We talked about-" "You were going to abandon me again?" The loudness in his voice jostles me. There is a certainty in which he asks his question that leaves me

    Ruby M. Clive ‘This was fun.’ The words play again in my mind before the fatigue I convinced myself was the sex finds me. "Fun." I toy with the word again before looking at my reflection in the mirror. The makeup hid the puffiness of my face well, but the redness remained regardless of the amount of concealer used. My legs feel weak, so I let my flesh crumble to the ground as more tears overcome me. I hate how easily I cry these days, but more than that, I hate the delight that found me when his wolf recognised me. He fell asleep with his length inside me, and I couldn’t pull it out; even now, I can still feel his shape inside me. My gaze lingers on the gauze on my hand; beneath it lies his teeth marks that ooze the scent of the ocean despite the amount of time I rinsed the wound. I don’t get it; no one has ever recalled the past in my presence before, so how could he? It makes sense for his wolf to remember me; we were mates, but not him, his hatred for Clives should prevent

    A groan found Adrian’s lips with ease when his hands stroking the space next to him confirmed that it was cold, meaning she had left quite a while ago.His canines tasted of blood; did he bite himself?“Fuck! That’s so embarrassing!”He cursed, recalling how desperately he begged her to tell him who the man she loved was and how easily she drew a line with him. He didn't want to wake up; the bed wasn’t even his, but he didn’t want to leave it because the moment he did, he would have to face the consequences of the deal they had made—never seeing her again.But was the deal still in effect if she wasn’t there like she promised to be?"Oh, you are up-"Ruby said as the bathroom door opened, and he took in her glowing sight that was emphasised by the steam from the hot shower.She looked fresh and clean but also dressed up. She had on her robe and a full face of makeup, all while her hair remained wrap

    Adrian watched Ruby’s flesh devour his hard shaft slowly; she only used her hands to steady his length inside her.If he were any more dazed, he would shove himself inside her, but she was far too tight for such an act not to cause her discomfort, so his teeth found his lip in search of patience before he spoke.“Are you okay?”He asked when the shadow of a wince crossed her face; his member wasn’t even halfway through.It was quite the awkward question to ask, considering that he was her source of discomfort, so while a part of him prayed that she wouldn’t back out, the other prepared for what felt inevitable.“Yes…yes, I just need a moment.”She uttered.“Are you sure? We could stop-”“I am certain.”She said with a laugh that once again undid him; how did she do that?How did she captivate him with such ease?His eyes fell on her large breasts that seemed to spill on her chest before returning to her eyes.Who was he?Who was the one man who had seen her in this way?He was clearly
