Rufus slid back onto his knees and rose, his thighs spread between hers, his shaft thick and hard and bobbing under its weight. Everything in her tightened with ravenous greed. His big body was carved with rock-hard slabs of tautly defined muscle, his tanned skin sheened with perspiration.He was so powerfully elegant, except for his shaft, which was bluntly primal with its thick coursing veins and wide root. His sac, too, hung large and heavy. He would make a statue as beautiful as Hercules, but with a flagrantly erotic edge. Honestly, Rufus Griswold had been designed to fuck a woman right out of her mind. “Mine,” she said harshly, pushing up and scrambling gracelessly into him, pressing her torso tightly into his.“You’re mine.”“My love.” He took her mouth in a rough, lust-fueled kiss. Lifting her, he moved, turning them so that his back was to the headboard and she was spread over him. Their flesh slid against each other, slickened by sweat. His hands were everywhere, his muscled
Everleigh woke slowly, drifting lazily upward from the depths of sleep into full awareness. Dappled sunlight filtered through the glass roof. This room seemed like master’s bedroom, she remembered Rujan told her that this is his house. The kids’ room were on the ground floor near Rujan’s room.She stretched, her arm sliding over to search for her husband, but he wasn’t lying beside her. Yes, thinking about Rufus as his husband gave a surreal feelings. She saw a note on the side table and smiled when she read it.“I’ll pick you up at 7:00, my love,”His cursive handwriting could put her own into shame. He seemed like a man born century ago. She gasped when she saw the time, it was already past noon. She hurried to the bathroom to take a quick shower.Wearing her oversized shirt, she padded into the kitchen. Rujan raised his brow at her, he knew what Rufus did to her behind closed door and based on his reaction, he didn’t care. “Richard and Edward took the boys to the ranch. Rufus playe
“Why?”Rufus’ eyes drop to her cleavage and widen with surprise. His breath seemed caught in his throat. Knowing Alice would be coming, she had worn the gown for the purpose of keeping his attention on herself and not allowing it to wander to the other woman.Finally Rufus coughed lightly and regained his tongue. He knew what she was thinking. "Perhaps you should wear something a little less revealing, love."“No,” her face determined.Materializing from somewhere behind them, Rujan laughed and came to stand beside his brother. Everleigh was very conscious of both men's eyes upon her. "Let her wear it, brother. You never let the rest of us have any fun," he said and smiled. "Of course, I can understand how you feel. If she were mine, I'd keep her under lock and key." He half turned to his brother and loudly whispered. "You know she looks a hell of a lot better than Alice and the rest of your women."Everleigh threw her arms akimbo and stamped her tiny foot as if in anger, and Rufus bla
Rufus watched the mixed emotions played on his mate’s face. He lost control when it comes to her. The reason why he hated her before but in the end he realized the main reason. He was afraid of her. Afraid to lose all his control.Seeing her hurting right now, his heart constricted painfully. He will do everything not to hurt her. When he let his brother take her to the cabin, he knew he hurts her again. But he needed to do it, she lost her memories and he didn’t want her to see him in his wolf form as he gathered his wolves.He stayed outside the cabin, just wanting to hear her thoughts. Alice tried to manipulate him into staying in his castle but he declined. He let her visit her but he didn’t want her to stay. His pack, his territory, his castle, and his whole being belong to his mate. He didn’t want the place to taint again with Alice’ wickedness.He played along with her, he didn’t want her to see that he knew every
Opening her eyes, she looked at him from under heavy eyelids. He was so beautiful sprawled beneath her in his elegant tuxedo, his powerful body straining with the primal need to mate. His neck arched, his head pressing hard into the seatback as if he was struggling against invisible bonds.He jerked that cause her to step on the phone. They didn’t know, her feet hit the answer button and Alice could hear them.“Ah, Goddess,” he bit out, his teeth grinding.“I’m going to come so hard.”The dark promise excited her. Sweat misted her skin. She became so wet and hot that she slid smoothly down the length of his shaft until she’d nearly enclosed him. A breathless cry escaped her before she’d taken him to the root.He was so deep she could hardly stand it, forcing her to shift from side to side, trying to ease the unexpected bite of discomfort. But her body didn’t seem to care that he was too big. It
“You’re not safe there.”“What? It’s just a party Rufus! Was it because you’re beloved Alice was there? Are you protecting her from me?”Rufus turned his head and his gaze found hers. “She is not my beloved. I have only one beloved wife.""Then why are you like this? You’ve changed your mind because of just one call from her?”“How did you know? Did you intentionally want us to be heard?”The hurt she felt was shown on her face. “You’re unbelievable!” she said in frustration. He easily accused her and she felt awful.Rufus realized what he said. “I’m sorry love, I’m just worried.” He tried to touch her but she flinched. She didn’t say a word and moved to the end of the luxurious leather seat.With every second that passed, she felt him withdrawing, the connection between them slipping further and further away. She found herself shrinking into the corner of the seat, away from him, mimicking the distance. She felt building between them. All the warmth she’d felt receded into a marked c
Before she could utter a word, Rujan was beside her, his body tense. “She’s with me Warner,” he said, his face blank. She knew Rujan too well, with his body language, she could sense that danger lurking around them. With years of hiding and running, she always depend on her instinct.The man makes the hair of her skin stands on end. She remembered that Janice’s parents killed by Rufus and this man is their son. “Oh, here comes the overprotective brother in-law.” Lander sneered and his smile also creepy as if he was planning something awful.Rujan took her hand and pulled her to his side. “Long time no see Warner, I’m afraid you can’t visit your dear sister. Unfortunately she changed status and lost most her freedom and all her privileges.”“Do you think I care about her?” Lander’s lips twisted into a devil smile."You are her brother ofcourse, I think that you care about her. It's a natural thing, unless you're twisted."Lander growled, he didn't like what Rujan had said. His eyes wer
Viktor stopped and looked at her. She nodded. Viktor backed away with a bow, his gaze hot and fierce on Rufus’ face. Rufus knew that Viktor was his brother's lover and he didn't say about them. did he approve of their relationship? Or he simply didn't care, as long as his brother is happy. Rufus ignored Viktor and he pulled her close and took over the dance the way he took over everything—with dominant confidence.It was an entirely different experience dancing with him than with her two previous partners. Rufus had a different level of expertise of Mark and Viktor. The familiarity with the way her body moved, and Rufus had a bold, aggressive style that was inherently sexual.It didn’t help that being so close to a man she’d so recently been intimate seduced her senses despite her unhappiness. He smelled mouthwatering, with undertones of sex, and the way he led her through the bold sweeping steps made her feel the soreness deep inside her, reminding her that he’d been there not long a
"Sleep, my love. I'll take my fill tomorrow night.""Don't shift. I love your smell," she said sleepily."I won't," he replied, removing the bindings and massaging her wrist.Dark couldn’t sleep; his cock throbbed with need. He lay there, watching the stars and the moon outside, holding his mate as she slept on his shoulder. After two agonizing hours, her eyes flew open, and he instantly knew why. She needed to pee."Stay there. Don't shift," she ordered before closing the bathroom door. She was still naked, which added to his frustration. He mind-linked the chef to prepare a light snack for her. With the way his daughters moved inside her, he knew they were hungry. He needed to satisfy them first."No one can see us on the deck, right?" she asked when she returned and picked up the robe from the floor. Dark nodded and came to her. She looked at his erection and then back at his face."Don’t mind it. You need to
"See that moon, my love? Tomorrow, we will join the wolves in their mating game, but for now, I need you to prepare first."Dark began licking her skin and caressing her nipples with his huge, furry hands. She was fully aroused."Easy, love. Let me take care of you. You don’t know how much I want to take you like this."Dark bared his teeth in a look of such feral pleasure that only a fool would call it a smile. He wrapped one hand around her breast and squeezed with just enough pressure to make her want more. She closed her eyes against the overpowering feeling of vulnerability. She felt the humid warmth of his exhale the second before his lips wrapped around her. The sound that escaped her was so raw and needy she couldn’t believe she’d made it. Then his tongue curled around her nipple, and his furry cheeks hollowed on a drawing pull she felt all the way to her womb. She no longer cared what desperate sounds she made.
"Don’t blindside me, Rufus. You can’t protect me with it.”Rufus sighed. “I’ve already assigned scouts for them. Lander is already on Red Island.”“Do you have a place there?”“Every alpha has a place on Red Island.”“Interesting.”“The mansion is located at the far end of the island, away from the center. The boys can shift freely there. It’s time for you to meet fellow alphas and the king.”“Sonya told me that all wolves are afraid of him. I’m curious about his appearance and why he’s still mateless. I imagine he looks frightful.”Rufus gave her a peck on the forehead. “I’m happy you’re open now, my love. You should see the king before making any judgments.”“I think I need to go to the bathroom again,” she said.“If you feel anything, just tell me or show me. Castr
Diana’s shoulders shook with a ragged breath, and he turned his head, battling discomfort and regret. She had once been important to him, and he would miss her, but not in the way she wanted.“What do I have to live for if I don’t have you?”He turned at her question and barely caught her as she ran into him. Holding her at bay with a grip on her upper arms, he saw the devastation on her beautiful face before he could process her words. Then it registered.Horrified, he shoved her away. She was blackmailing him with her life.She stumbled back as her heels caught in the carpet. “Don’t put that on me,” he warned, his voice low and hard. “I’m not responsible for your happiness. I’m not responsible for you at all.”“What’s wrong with you?” she cried. “This isn’t you.”“You wouldn’t know. You’ve lived without me for many years;
Everleigh heard Diana ordered cognac to their attendant. “Ethan, you'll have a cognac too, won't you?' she said. “I know how much you used to love it,” she said.She sighed and thought that next time she’ll pay attention to Rufus’ likes and hobbies. She frowned when she remembered something, he was drinking the same drinks everyday but not Cognac.Those were the dark moments of her life with him, when she often saw Rufus drunk and few times sober. “He preferred vodka or brandy since I met him few years back. He was particularly fond of those spirits that he drank it every night before. We have collections of them in the castle including whiskey but I never saw Cognac.”“You’re right my love, I indulge Diana those days to patronize my father’s favorite drink but I am not fond of it.”Everleigh turned to Rujan, “I indulge myself with it sometimes,” Rujan replied.Raiden wanted to go to the restroom and she needed too. “I’ll accompany you,” he said. Rujan chuckled, “come on brother, let
Sonya helped her prepare for the formal dinner. Her hair was braided into a sophisticated bun that emphasized her beautiful almond-shaped eyes and cheekbones. She chose a sexy white maternity dress with a dramatic neckline that highlighted her luscious cleavage, which had become fuller due to her pregnancy. This cozy, simple dress was sexy with its low, open back. She wore 70-carat diamond drop earrings given to her by Rufus, among other jewelry from his mother. Sonya picked a diamond choker and bracelet for her to complement the earrings."The drama queen always portrays a demure personality, but she eyes the luxuries. She grew up with a golden spoon in her mouth, so it's natural for her to love fine and extravagant things."Everleigh had never been competitive in her life, but hearing this, she was determined to show off. Rufus didn’t want her to wear high heels, so she decided on beaded flat shoes. The boys looked stunning in their tuxedos.Rufus and the boys were waiting for her i
"Are you sure?""Yes, I am sure.""Do you want to see the boys shift too?""What do you mean?""Yes, they can shift.""But they're so young!" she exclaimed."And they're my sons.""Why didn't they tell me?" she was surprised and hurt at the same time.Rufus came to her side. "Love, you can't remember a thing about shapeshifters like us. How could they show you?""Did Rujan know?""Yes.""When did they start to shift?""When Rujan invited you to the cabin.""It's not all about fishing and picnics, I see...""Yes, it's not about picnics and fishing.""What about our daughters? Are they going to shift at a young age?""I don't know. Nothing is certain when it comes to shifting. Alpha blood is stronger. I shifted when I was the same age as our boys, and Rujan shifted when he was fifteen.""You're twins. Did the shifting determine who would be the alpha?" she asked."Yes, it's one of the factors."
He traced the shell of her ear with his tongue, feeling her slick sex clasp him in response."Perfection," he whispered, following her down as she sank back into the bed.Everleigh gripped his upper arms and licked her lower lip, her hips moving in tight little circles, loosening the way for him. "Please," she pleaded again in that throaty murmur that undid him. Bracing himself with palms flat to the bed, he withdrew slowly, relishing the feel of her clinging to his cock.He returned with effort, pushing through the tight resistance. Her head thrashed and her eyes closed, which he could not allow. He needed her to stay with him, to see him through the storm he knew was coming. The pressure of his impending orgasm fisted around his bollocks and pulsed through his cock, warning him that he would soon be wasted by the woman beneath him.She’d snared him completely that long-ago night, bewitched him beyond redemption. There was no other choice for him.
Rufus placed her carefully on the edge of the bed. “Let’s talk, Rufus,” her voice faltered as he pulled her dress up and over her head. He tossed it aside, his attention focused on her full breasts that heaved with every ragged breath. He cupped their lush weight in his hands, his thumbs stroking over the hard, peaked nipples. She leaned back, her weight propped on her canted arms. Her lovely face was flushed, her blue eyes dark as if drawing him into the depths of the ocean. Her rich, inky hair fell around her shoulders in total disarray. She looked glassy-eyed and luscious, the most beautiful thing he’d ever seen.“About what, my love?” he murmured, pressing her backward to take a nipple into his mouth. Her selflessness meant more to him than he could express with words. He had needed so much from her for so long, and she had given generously and with heartening enthusiasm. His tongue stroked over the taut point of her breast, his lips pulling with deliberately soft suction, teasing
