Rufus took the heavy length of his shaft in hand and stroked the thick crest through her cleft, coating himself in the slickness of her orgasm. The fact that they were both still dressed except for what they needed to get out of the way made it all the hotter. This is the second time tonight that they had sex with their clothes on.
“I want you to submit,” he said darkly.
“Bend over and spread wide. I’m going to fuck you deep.”
A whimper escaped her at the thought and she scrambled to obey. Aware of how tall he was, she moved to the side of the couch and folded over the armrest, reaching behind her to pull up her skirt.
He didn’t hesitate.
With a powerful thrust of his hips, he was inside her, stretching her.
“Mate”
Gasping, she clawed at the sofa cushions. He was thick and hard and so, so deep. With her stomach pressed over the curve of the couch arm, she swore she could feel
She was so hurt by Rufus it was hard to breathe and his was so confused by his mood swings and herself for being so emotional. Why had he touched her face like that? Why had he gotten mad when she didn’t stay by his side? Was it because he was not only possessive but overly protective?She’d bared her emotions alone in his penthouse and still felt horribly vulnerable—a state she’d spent countless therapy hours learning to avoid. She wanted nothing more than to be home, to be with her boys, freed from the pressure of acting like she was completely pulled together when she was anything but. You set yourself up for this, she reminded herself. Suck it upSomeone from his security, carried food he ordered before he had his way on her. Rufus was very careful, he only let his trusted men go near them and their kids. She focused on the variety of food in front of her.She scoops a sizeable heap of sautéed chorizo and slow-cooked chicken in a chipotle a
Everleigh’s heart was pounding. In her mind she somehow realized the danger Rufus and Rujan had warned her about had seemed a distant possibility. Never had she imagined it could mean weapons and death. She thought of her boys and shivered. She never encountered a danger as clear and close such as this before. They ran before the one chasing them get a close contact.He wasn’t Lander, the man was mid-forties, with a long, pointed nose and very smooth olive skin. He was wearing an expensive black sport coat and gray slacks and looked like one of the patrons of Everleigh’s Delight as he actually was.She stiffened as she felt hard steel shoved into her ribs from her neck. “Keep walking,” he said. “Make a sound and I won’t hesitate to pull the trigger.”Her pulse kicked into high gear. The man looked foreign but his accent was purely American. She had no idea who he was, but she knew he must be somehow connected to people who were searching for them. She hadn’t believed they would haunt
“Wake up sleepy head, dinner is ready. Our family will dine with us.” Rufus kissed her neck and smelled her scent.“Can we just postpone it?” she murmured sleepily, without opening her eyes. She wanted to lazy.“The kids are waiting, they miss you.”“Oh,”She fell asleep inside the limo and maybe Rufus carried her inside their room. She inhaled the familiar scent of the room. She missed him and this room.She opened her eyes and smiled when she saw him half naked with only his jeans on. He was sweating, he maybe had some workouts when she was sleeping. So, the dinner won’t be formal and it made her a sigh of relief. She didn’t like formal dinner, it bored her.Then she remembered what happened at the restaurant. She was still wearing her gown. He left her in the hotel and she had a feeling because of Alice“I need a shower,” she said and stood.
Rufus swooped her up and took her mouth with his. The kiss was hard, demanding, proprietorial, almost brutal, but he could no longer hold himself in check.She was his.Absolutely incontrovertibly his. Nothing had ever felt as right as holding Everleigh, kissing her. He pulled her close, enfolded her in an embrace that nothing could break.He needed her.Wouldn’t be whole without her.The feel of her there, her heart hammering in time with his, her soft lips yielding, even giving back kiss for furious kiss, only strengthened his certainty.She was right, he was feeling edgy. His past was haunting him. He drew back enough to lick a line from her collarbone to her ear, feeling her judder in response, her breath catch in a gasp of pure pleasure.He drew back just enough to hold her dazed eyes with his. This time when he kissed her, he lifted her right off the tub, securing her with one arm around her bottom, the other around her torso, pulling her to him as if he could meld her wet form
Everleigh felt his forearm tense beneath her fingers the moment their gazes met. She could see why. The woman, she knew was Alice, was deeply in love with Rufus. It was there on her face and in her pale, blue eyes. Her beauty was stunning, so exquisite as to be surreal. Her hair was gold as sunshine and hung thick and straight almost to her waist. Her dress was the same icy hue as her eyes, her skin golden from the sun, her body long and perfectly curved.“Alice,” he greeted her, the natural rasp in his voice even more pronounced. He released her and caught her hands. “You said you’ll come tomorrow. I would’ve picked you up.” “I have some early business meetings to attend to. It’s been a long time you made a visit on the Bell territory” she said, in a voice that was cultured and smooth.“I have been busy”As if that reminded him she was next to him, he released her and drew her up to his side. “Alice, this is Everleigh Griswold, my mate. Leigh, Alice Bell. An old friend.”She extend
Rufus made a mistake. He didn’t consider his wife in making the decision. He was focused on protecting her and using Alice to get to the enemy. Damn!“You looked like a rogue dominated by your mate Alpha.”He hissed, “she is my mate and I made a terrible mistake because of you several years ago. This is the ultimate rule of our nature, you know that Alice.” He said it with double meaning. Like him, Alice can’t accept that her mate was pure human like Lander. Unlike her, he already accepts his fate wholeheartedly. Alice can’t accept the fate and it made Lander mad.Lander made promise to the royals to safeguard their ultimate rule. Keeping their race a secret from humans. The reason why he was removed from the wanted list because he pledge that he was pure human and their rules were not bounded to humans. It means, that he was simply human, not power over us. Janice and Lander were connected through their human mother's blood.The man was obsessed with his mate. He couldn’t kill him. Hu
It’s been three days since she woke up but she didn’t say a word at him. Only to him. She even spoke with Alice by telling her that she was welcome whenever she wanted. Rufus became frustrated but he didn’t want to stress her. Castro told him that she and their pups were in good health. He was anxious when she insisted of going to school.He doubled the security for her and his boys. She was making him insane as she shut him from her mind. Did she know about him and his race? How could she do it. Richard told him that an alpha mate has stronger mind blocking than anyone else even if she's a human. His scouts received his daily foul mood. He announced to school that their Luna was carrying his pups and warned everyone to treat her with care.She used all her energy and time to their kids and school. It frustrates him even more. She was even civil to Alice. And the bitch was enjoying his frustration. When she was at home, she was with the kids or in the library.
Rufus smile was inviting and thoughtful. He missed her so much. He wants his old Everleigh. He didn’t know how he survived for the past days without touching her.“I’m hungry,” she said. Her eyes told him that she was hungry for not only food. The heat from her body was making his body losing control.“I want to go shopping tomorrow,” she suddenly said and it made him laugh. “I will go with you, love, anything your want, I’ll get it and give them to you.”“I want you,”Rufus took a deep breath to calm himself. It was too sudden and he thought he was prepared. He wanted to devour her, that instant but he knew how hungry she was and he could give all she wanted but her well being was his top priority. He pulled a stool and helped her sit.Minutes later, he set chicken pasta and a salad brimming with vegetables in front of her and the food she was craving, pancakes with strawberry syrup. She was famished and demolished every bite.&
"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
