It was this delicious mixture of pain and pleasure. Ethan’s dominance excited every part of Pearl, but she also wanted him to know he didn’t own the control between them.
She arched against him, settling against his thighs as his chest melded against her back.
Her spine bowed until her hands pushed through his hair. Pearl’s hands were above her head, gripping his locks tightly as he rocked his hips harder.
"Fuck, little Pearl." He released her hair and she released him, both of them relenting to one another. The cool mattress met her fingertips once again as she settled her chest against the blanket. Her palms fisted the sheets. He groaned, his thrust becoming jarring and hard, but he didn't stop for even a second.
Heat seared over her skin as his palm skimmed across her hip before drifting lower. His fingers pushed down on her sex, slipping against the base of his
Hell, where did her life go so wrong that this was a real question for her? A moment ago, Pearl was so pleased with her good choices in life, and now she was starting to second-guess those fantastic decisions. How did these situations happen to her? "Um—" Just before a lie had a chance to slip over her lips, a purring sound of fire and lust reverberated against her side. Ethan’s wolf’s snout pushed beneath her arm until her hand was against the back of his neck. His curious eyes settled on Alec before Pearl. Narrow slits of glowing attention were held for him. "Wow, he’s incredibly tame." Alec’s brows raised a little higher as Ethan nuzzled closer. And closer. Until his face was nearly pushing against her breasts. "Okay," she shoved the beast back from her, "that’s enough." Her lips pursed, and a humming sound shook through him. Pearl bit her lips at the little vibration of her clit against her pantyless skirt. She stepped back, her gaze held on the gigantic wolf, as Alec and h
Pearl's palm skimmed along the smooth inking lines twirling down Kain’s arm, and a sinking feeling in her stomach told me he wasn’t real. Not even her dreams allow her to enjoy Kain’s forgotten touch. She wondered if she would ever forget what it felt like to love or trust him again. Even when she knew she shouldn't, Kain chose to follow the king’s order rather than let her escape without a problem.This was it. This was the moment that she ruined her life.And his.Was it because she was selfish?They were always friends. Friends with too much unspoken emotion between them. But right now, at this moment, they forgot that they were supposed to
He’s just so damn logical. Who am I to say no to someone so smart and rational? And… Ethan’s tongue sears lower, flicking against my navel, before raking his teeth hard across my stomach. I love the way he makes me feel. I freeze with tension steeling my spine as that foul four-letter word echoes on repeat in my head. "Mmm, no. No, I don’t think there’s time for that. I’m sorry." Ugh. Let it be known, I stayed strong. Resiliently unbending. My hands seem to have a mind of their own as I tell him no once more but push him down between my thighs. "Pearl, I think maybe we should wait." A smirk tilts his lips as my thighs tighten around his hard body. "As much as I want you right now, you seem to be … a little hesitant, and every time I fuck you, I want you relaxed. I don’t want whatever thoughts are in your head right now to be a distraction." His big hands grip my thighs, and I nod to him. His palms glide against my skin. "I want you to want it." Why does he have to sound so sex
"I've been going to that pub for days, watching you from far away. I have always left right after your set is done because I figured there was no way a guy like me would have a chance with someone as beautiful and gifted as you. It took me a long time to get the nerve just to sit where you could see me, and even longer to build up the nerve to talk to you.""Me? I'm just an ordinary, run-of-the mill person, there's nothing special about me." I was still pondering all this when he reached down and grabbed my chin, lifted it up, and kissed me.In that moment, I knew passion. I thought I had felt it before, but this was something that made me feel like I would die if this kiss ended right now. His lips were so hot they almost burned mine. His tongue sought mine in an earnest quest that let me know that he had thought about this moment for a long time. I felt my knees go weak and as if sensing that, he picked me up and carried me to the couch. He knelt and gently laid me down, as if I was
Ethan was fully clothed, and her sex was no longer demanding his mouth, fingers, or shaft; they headed back to Almera’s.There was a new closeness between them as they walked. He didn’t strive to touch her or coddle her, but his arm brushed her hips with nearly every step they took, and she wanted to lean into that small touch.It seems to be very noticeable when Finn and Vergerl turn their way. They’ve shifted back to their natural, naked form, and she guessed that, out of some weird respect for Ethan, she didn’t look at their rods.Yes, let’s all give a nice slow clap for her ability not to look at impressive dicks when shown.Pearl handed them their jeans and shirts, and the suspicious looks in their eyes were held on the two of them as they quickly dressed."So," Pearl couldn’t seem to help the smile that was pushing into place against her lips as she asked her innocent question, "Did that alchemist ever turn up?""No, not yet." Finn looked at her as if he didn’t trust her at all.
Dry Village Kain might be crazy, but he knows he was again in someone else's memory. Outside, the villager was still in conference. When they saw him, they all gathered at a distance and sent a small boy to him. The boy came near and informed him of a rewarding fortune that was kept for anyone who killed the feline on the loose. The one who rakes havoc in the Winterberg Village. It would be transferred to the individual immediately by the village chief, who was informed. Kain followed them all, dismissing all their glances and comments at his body, and entered the cottage of the chief, silly human, how could they not know about him being a predator? Pathetic, he thought as he felt a flicker of irritation for the foolish villager. The chief's cottage was more comfortable than the rest of the shacks. The chief came out and interviewed him. He was middle-aged and sported only a lazy white fabric below his waist, like the rest of the folks, except that he looked more sleek and neat. Th
The others commenced to gossip among themselves, and the rulers looked appalled to hear what he mumbled. Then the noise was broken off, and the chiefs began to communicate among themselves, throwing skeptical glances at him. The second chief, who hadn't spoken at all and whom Kain was seeing for the first time, turned to his followers and barked in a strange language. All of the males escorted him to a tent and made him sit. "Are you one of the supernatural species?" "Those that dwell in the dark, like men who inhabit the night?" "I am. Although we aren't only dwelling in the night, sir, as you can see, I am here in broad daylight. We too have a residence. Or we had one before we lost it. Or before I forget about it." "Ah, yes. The legendary Fire King's elite warrior." "It isn't a myth!" Kain became enraged.The warriors around the chief jabbed their pikes at him warningly. It wasn't like it would hurt him, but these people needed to know he wasn't just any ordinary warrior, but a p
Kain knew there was something amiss with this dream and that someone was messing up with his consciousness. However, he succumbed to the lull of nothingness. Like it was his calling. Like he was supposed to look for someone.Dreaming again, Kain knew he wasn't in the native clan anymore, but he was so thirsty! His throat hurts, and he feels so hot and uncomfortable. With that thought, he opened his eyes.It was completely upright, possibly forty or fifty meters high. 'Where on earth am I?' Did he fall and hit his head? Or was he rock climbing again? Was he even dreaming?After a while, Kain sat up, then slowly stood. It didn't feel like he was injured at all, after all, who could have endured him? He was always a predator, never a prey. Yet he felt too exhausted, and he felt so thirsty! He was dying for some water.Kain walked along the base of the cliff for forty or fifty steps and was
Henry approached the captives, who were dangling from a tree. He leaned in close to take in June, Ryan, and then Janet's features. In his murmur, he said something along the lines of "This woman is unusual; she smells like a lycan but also human. It has an odd scent that reminds me of Her Majesty Queen Janet herself. When June and Ryan heard the massive lycans, they looked to each other and toward Janet, who was smirking at them, as if to say, "I told you so." Henry continued, as he went to Janet's side and licked the blood from his forehead and raised his brows. "You are an oddity, little one. And you are not from around here, either. Who are you?" Henry and his band of mercenaries might have been the same ones that June's own people were on the lookout for. It was a long-running blood controversy that began some years ago. Nonetheless, June had been on the verge of passing out when he felt that all the blood flowing to his head from the wound made him conscious of the fact that he
Suddenly, they were knocked senseless by three lycans as they were transported to their secret lair when someone appeared out of nowhere and attacked them, rendering them unconscious. Janet's nose was dripping with blood, and a trickle of it dripped out. It did not drip down her chin, but rather up into her eyes and over her forehead, due to the fact that she, along with her partner Ryan and June, were hanging upside-down in the air. After being taken and strung up, they will be skinned alive and eaten by a gang of feral lycans who have come to take advantage of their situation. Earlier, however, the three had been attacked when they were seen traveling down a trail near the cliff, and their belongings, including their backpack and weapons, had been taken from them. And now Ryan and June were arguing with their backs to the wall. "I told you we shouldn't stop," June snarled at him. "But you dickhead, you weren't even forced to walk in front of us, but for your own bloody sense of im
"We need to check to see if my friend is still in the building.""Why?""Wait a minute, and you'll see."Before they knew it, they were being waved at by someone who said, "Thank goodness, your little train is still running." June uttered the words and walked over to the man, who appeared to be an elderly retired soldier."Nice to see you, young man, and I've received your secret message on my radio, and right now we must move quickly. After ten minutes, the train would depart from the station. I already had a secret compartment set aside for you three, but please don't leave your cabin at any time, okay? I've managed to bring on a dozen lycans. Actually, you're dealing with tourists, so keep your mouth shut and never, ever open your cabin door, okay? Unless, of course, it's me knocking on the door.""Of course, Joe, and thank you for your assistance." June wrapped her arms aroun
Suddenly, June shook his hands, as though he were attempting to dislodge himself from the spell of Ryan's lips. "It was a dirty trick," says June."Oh yeah? According to the person who made me drunk and then attacked me to prove a point. What is it about you that requires everything to be a test? Is it June? Remember when you chose the army over me?" Ryan said with a sigh, "We are done with that nonsense.""Come on, sweetie. Play fair now. Tests enable you to push yourself to new limits, mate," June moved in so quickly that he was standing by the couch one moment and standing right in front of Ryan the next. His punch was deflected by June, who moved more slowly than usual, and Ryan managed to avoid his punch back."It's a bitter past, Ryan! And I already apologized a hundred fucking times, did I?""I don't care! You still hurt me." Ryan added with a bit of a smile on his lips. He knew it drove June
June added, "I think this is going to be good." He murmured to himself as he sat in a nearby chair and rummaged through his backpack."This is the possible trail that we have to follow to reach the peak." "We needed a compass and a certain map to reach the cavern.""What cavern?" Janet asked.June gestured to his own graph and mumbled something under his breath, "There is a cavern at the peak of the mountain, and if I'm not mistaken, then there is a possible entry on the west side." So maybe whatever you've been looking at was inside the cave, right?"Worth a try." Ryan smiles, knowing full well that there was an adventure waiting for them.After two bottles of June's grandmother's wine, Janet was unable to keep her mouth shut. When she told them everything, they laughed at the foolishness of her tale and didn't believe her at first, but after an hour of hearing about the Scroll of Fate, the message behind Ethan's research paper, and her time traveling with Finn, Vergel, and Ethan, th
"No, not at this time." "I believe the trail has been buried beneath the sleet." She sighed as she took up a position beside him."Fuck it. I'm done with it. Does that mean we're stuck here? "I'm not sure whether I should be angry with you or grateful," he said as he turned away from her and back into the chimney fire."What the hell are you talking about?""While you were outside, I needed to go to the bathroom." "I happened to stumble into some sort of attic." Ryan went on to say that, as he stared into the flames, he felt something stab him in the back of the head. There was a ray of hope. Then he went on, "...and then I found this," he mumbled as he handed her a small brown military bag that looked like it had been abandoned."Can you tell me what this is?" "What am I supposed to do with this?" Janet inquired as she purposefully opened the back and began to untangle what was inside."That, Janet, you know. That notebook, of course. Take a look at it right now." He muttered somethi
Human Realm. Present Time With two warm sleeping bags of her own, Janet warmed up beside Ryan. They were lying close enough to the chimney's fire that Ryan could feel the warmth of it lapping at his face as their wet clothing dried on the brick quarters hanging near the vent as Janet added wood to rekindle it. When the storm had passed, Janet had buried the family in the snow a few yards away from the cabin, just in case. By the next day, however, the storm was still raging outside, with the entire bracket of the house trembling under the force of the storm's powerful wind. After his encounter with the father's dead body, which was lying in the living room the day before, Janet's eyes were opened. She couldn't help but wonder. She didn't mean to touch his forehead, but she was not expecting those memories to come crashing down on her like hurricanes. It was both terrifying and exhilarating at the same time. Janet had no idea she possessed the ability to read the memories of someo
He nodded.She stroked his shaft with the curled tip of her hand, rubbing back and forth on his glans. "To bring you down before we even started," she snarled, her tongue slithering across his ear, causing him to moan. "Of course, I'd go further... I'd keep going until I thought you couldn't take it anymore, but I'm a kind woman. After all, I asked to have your soul... but let me have fun!"She giggled again before attacking the other side of his neck, causing Darwin to whimper again as his fangs elongated. He wanted to taste her. She pumped him carefully, tightening her grip and almost wringing his rod out. Her leafy scales moved on his naked skin and garments, wrenching and untwisting as she shifted her coils, all over again as he moaned.His body bucked, turning involuntarily against her shackling grip. He feared this would enrage her, but it didn't. It had the opposite impact: it was terrifying and erotic.She liked it. Her veins shifted to enable his reflexive twists to gain some
Darwin murmured. He was getting eager, clenching his thighs together automatically. Alicia hissed sensuously, her rich fragrance only marginally less sensual. "I can smell your blood boiling, I can smell your aroused soul, little vampire, just like what I smelled from the little sorcerer earlier—wanting it, wanting me." "I... I don't..." he began, unsure of what he was saying. He couldn't quite get what she was saying, but her voice was fascinating and alluring. He was in a trance; he understood, but he couldn't get himself away from her. "But don't you wish to enjoy the pleasure no dark creature can provide? What do you have to lose to get a taste of heaven and a replica of the manuscript? If you only accept, you will discover new passions." She slithered closer, her head brushing his hips, her eyes peering up into his. Her body loop softly nudged his back, her head rising in an arc again. Her movements were slow and deliberate, a lovely performance that soothed the senses. Nothi
