Gabe
Did I want to keep pressing him? Yes. Was I going to? I don’t know yet. He stared at me expectantly and I tried to think of an answer. My mind was distracted by images of what he could possibly want.
“Well?” Odis asked.
“Uh, I-I,” I stuttered. I stuttered like a second-grader who was cornered on the playground during recess by their crush.
“What did you do with Leo this morning?” Odis asked. He leaned down and his breath on my neck was making my body overheat.
“We…,” I started, “trained.”
His lips slowly slid down my neck and I swear I could feel him smile. He opened his mouth and I shuttered as his teeth replaced his lips. He bit my neck—not just anywhere but where my mark had been.
“Oh fuck,” I groaned. He bit me hard on
Gabe“Yes?” Odis asked innocently but he was far from innocent and he knew it. His fingers stilling at the base of our cocks.“Please,” I begged. I was past caring about how pathetic I sounded. At this moment, I was needy and Odis was the only one I saw. He slid up and down our lengths and I was fucking weak. “Fuck,” I moaned. His hand slid up and as he slid down, I thrust up. “Oh fuck,” I groaned.He slid up and down our lengths slowly. I needed more. “Say my name when you come, sweet Gabriel,” Odis said. He was breathless and when I looked up at him his eyes were focused on me. “You hear me?” Odis asked.“Yes,” I moaned. Odis watched me as I moaned with each stroke of his hand. My eyes flicked down to where his hands slid up and down our lengths.“This feels so good,”
GabeHis fingers hesitated on my neck and I knew he was thinking of her. Not a day went by when I didn’t think about her. I know we shouldn’t do this and I know if I said no this would all stop. I closed my eyes as the word formed in my throat but I swallowed it down. I know what I wanted.“That’s the problem, Odis. I don’t want you to stop. This is more than fucking okay. I want you to take me right now. If I beg you to stop, keep fucking going.” He groaned at my words and his fingers pressed against my mouth demanding access. I opened my mouth wide and they made their way in roughly. When they hit the back of my mouth, I fought the urge to gag.I want this. I want you. I want you to ruin me for anyone else.I need
GabeThe pleasure was toe-curling and I gasped as he pulled out of me. I gripped the table and his hands steadied me before he took a step back. As I looked back at him, I flinched as he pulled out of me slowly inch by inch. He pulled the condom off and threw it in the trash. I’m ready for a nap, I push myself up with shaky hands and Odis reaches out to help me.I don’t think about what this could mean and I don’t wonder what comes next. I start for the bed when he turns me to face him when strong hands gripped my waist and I’m swept up into his arms. He crashed his mouth to mine and I kissed him back with everything left in me. Instead of releasing me, he seats me on the table.“Odis, what are you doing?” I asked. I’ve never been picked up before and I was not used to the feel of my feet dangling.“Wrap your legs around me,” Odis grow
Gabe“Fuck your ass feels warm and tight around my cock,” he said. I moan and time disappears as he fucks me slow and hard. The feeling of his cock claiming me combined with the pressure of his flesh against my cock feels so fucking good.“Please, Odis,” I begged. “Oh, Goddess, please,” I moan.“I love hearing my name coming from your mouth. What do you want, Sweet sweet Gabriel?”“Please,” I cry.“Tell me what you want,” Odis said as he continued his slow torment. I won’t be able to stop even if you beg me. His words echo in my head. I won’t beg him to stop. I’ll do the opposite.“Fuck me, fuck me hard and fast. Please,” I groan as he pulls out and slowly thrusts into me. Every slow thrust feels like the first time he pushed into m
AdeaWe rushed back into the room after a run and his tongue pressed against my lips. I moaned softly as I forced his pants down. We peeled each other’s clothes off and kissed fervently. Ethan backed up against the floor-to-ceiling window and I squealed as my back pressed against the cold glass.“That’s so cold!” I said and pushed his chest. He was a stone wall and didn’t budge but that didn’t stop me. He released me but didn’t take a step back. My back was still pressed firmly against the window. Then I felt it, hot skin against my stomach. His hard cock pressed against my flesh.Ethan flipped me around and my peaks hardened against the cold glass. He kicked my feet so they were almost touching. I had to stand on the tips of my toes and I sighed as his hard tip pressed against my wet entrance. He stretched and filled me slowly. He grabbed my arms and crossed them behind
Shane The moon sat high in the sky and I wondered if the Moon Goddess was watching me. Would she smile favorably on me tonight? Did she enjoy it when we suffered? I was never sure if I was blessed or cursed growing up. I was tired of caring, I wouldn’t let her or anyone else decide how my life would go. From now on, I would take what I wanted and choose for myself what happens in my life. I walked through the crowd of men I now called my soldiers. I’d ran into a few rogues when I was exiled. I clench my fists by my side as the memory of that day flashes through my mind. My mother’s face, Mavy crying, the loss of connection to my pack. I was stripped of my title and thrown out with nothing. It was after I ripped one of their men to shreds that the others bowed to me that I got the idea to start all this. The two men joined me and we began hunting rogues. Whenever we found one, they either joined us or died. I
OdisAs soon as my pants were off, I shifted. If I’d stayed any longer, I wouldn’t have been able to leave. There was no other choice but to tell him it was a mistake. My heart throbbed in my chest but I only ran faster. As if I could run fast enough to leave the pain behind.I’d left without looking at him. I couldn’t bring myself to look at his face. I didn’t trust what I would do. I didn’t know what I’d do if I saw the pain I knew I’d put there. I was a coward and I knew it.I didn’t have the courage to be selfish. If I’d looked him in the eye, I would have crumbled. I would have caved. I wasn’t capable of turning my back on her. I didn’t have it in me. I just couldn’t. One moment of weakness and I’d done something unforgivable. Being with Gabriel? I couldn’t mentally let myself go back there, if I did, I’d turn ar
OdisA teary-eyed Olivia turns into a swinging door. I hold a bag of hot foot and a heavily pregnant Olivia sits on the couch as she stares blankly out of the window. She’d been craving lobster but didn’t bounce up and down like she normally does. She’s spiraling and I can see it.“I don’t want it, O. I don’t want it.”“You don’t have to eat the lobster if you don’t want to. I’m sorry I wasn’t faster, I ran as fast as I could.”“I don’t want the baby.”Her words steal the breath from my lungs. If I hadn’t been holding the bag tight, it would have dropped on the floor. I put the bag on the table and walk over to her. I sat behind her on the couch and pulled her into my arms. She doesn’t look at me and I don’t speak until I
The first month back at Desert Moon had been hard. Not a day went by without us fighting. Ethan rejected Mavy as his mate before we came home. A part of me knew he was hurt about it, missed her like I missed Shane. I felt like he was only with me because I was his Luna, because of obligation and duty. I didn’t know why he wanted to be with me. He didn’t know why I was with him when I loved Shane. We were at our lowest. We were ugly, we were at our rawest. It wasn’t until month two that we finally talked about everything. We talked bout what happened and we talked about the past. The one that I remembered and by this time, the one that he remembered. It was hard, facing the man I loved in this life and the man I hated in the past. He wasn’t him anymore, he hadn’t been him for a long time. We dug into the past and were completely honest with each other. He fell to his knees and apologized for what he’d done even though I told him it wasn’t him, that wasn’t him anymore. He asked me if I
Mavy fell back as if she’d been physically struck. She collapsed on the couch, her eyes watering. She didn’t look back at me, she kept her gaze focused on Ethan. I watched as her world crashed around her again for the second time in five minutes.“Where does that leave me?” Mavy asked. “I’m… your…” she shook her head and turned to look back at Ethan. “That’s not possible. I’m… I can smell it. I can feel it. Can’t you?” Mavy whispered. I heard the desperation in her voice.“I don’t care what you think or how you feel. I am already mated and my mate, my partner, my love, MY QUEEN sits in this room. Don’t disrespect her again.” The emotion in his voice caused me to choke up. Mavy bit into her lower lip and tears streamed down her cheeks. She dropped her head.“Yes, Alpha,” she said submissively.“I killed your Alpha,” Ethan said. “I’ve killed your brother.”“Yes,” she murmured.“Will you fight me on this?” Ethan asked.“As the next in line, I submit to you,” Mavy whispered.Ethan dismiss
The voices were getting louder, my head was hurting. I wanted to roll up into a ball and disappear from the world. Instead, I closed my eyes and tried to drown it all out, trying to ignore everyone. I wasn’t ready to deal with it.“She’s in shock…”“She’s confused…”“Enough!”A door slammed and footsteps paddled quickly towards me. Soft frail arms wrapped around me. Tears soaked my cheeks and my neck as Mavy cried. Did she know? She had to know.“Are you okay?” Mavy sobbed.I wrapped my arms around her and nodded. The tears started up again and streamed down my cheeks. Her t-shirt bunched in my fingers as I held her close. We cried and held each other.She inhaled deeply and froze. Slowly, she lifted her nose into the air and took another deep breath. Turning from me, she tried to follow the scent. She stopped, her gaze locked on someone, I turned and followed her gaze.I should have known, expected it but I’d been so caught up in my feelings that I didn’t think. I don’t know how it w
I didn’t have an answer for him and I don’t think he would have liked what I would have said. Hell, I didn’t know if I liked what I thought or how I felt. Instead of hurting him and cutting myself open for him, I didn’t say anything. I remained quiet. My world was crashing around me and my ears were ringing. I lowered my head and the tears flowed of their own volition.Ethan leaned down and I flinched as his arms wrapped around me. They were strong and broad. His embrace was warm and promised I could lean on him. I attempted to get to my feet only to fall. My face twisted from the pain and I wanted to cry and wallow in my own self-pity. Standing, he pulled me up and held me as my body gave up. I collapsed against him.I wanted to get to Shane, needed to. As if on cue, the weak mate bond snapped, and just like in my dream, it was gone. Only, this time, the pain I was feeling was because of Shane and not because of Ethan. The world was cold, the warmth I’d been able to feel from Shane f
Did what I do to him last night not bother him? I betrayed him. Did he not care that I came here to hurt him? Did he not care that I chose Ethan? I wanted to cry and scream. I wanted to run into his arms. I wanted this to stop. I wanted them to stop fighting. I wanted it all to stop. I screamed, it was painful and gut-wrenching but I screamed. I cursed the Goddess, damn her, she was useless in all of this. She sat up there above the clouds and did nothing to help us. Did she enjoy watching us suffer? When I couldn’t scream anymore, I inhaled deep breaths of air. I looked up and froze as Shane stared back at me. The way he looked at me told me he knew he was going to die. The look in his eye told me he knew he lost but for me, there was a small spark as if he wouldn’t just lay down and take it. I watched Ethan punch him. It was as if he was moving in slow motion. He hit his jaw and Shane’s head snapped back hard against the ground. Shane’s body tensed and he punched Ethan in the gut.
For a moment in time, they stood glaring at each other. The sun was blaring down on us. My gaze darted back and forth between the two. Shane’s eyes wandered away from Ethan and landed on me. “Look at me, mutt. You don’t get to look at her after what you’ve done,” Ethan spat. “I’m not so weak that you can look away from me in the middle of a fight.” “What have I done?” Shane taunted. “You’ve touched what’s mine,” Ethan growled. “I haven’t done anything other than touch what is mine. I haven’t done anything but make love to what is mine. I’ve claimed her. She may not wear my mark, thief but she is mine. Don’t claim her as yours. She was mine, she was always mine. She doesn’t belong to you, she never did.” A look came over Ethan’s face as if he knew as if this was confirmation as if he was reminded of something he’d forgotten. “You’re the one who touched someone who wasn’t yours. You are the one who took what was mine. Don’t try to play the victim. Don’t pretend to be something you’re
No.Not Odis.“Devin,” I gasped.Devin heard me but didn’t stop. He didn’t look up at me, didn’t even hesitate as he continued to stomp Odis into the ground. Blood spurt from Odis’ mouth and I think I heard his ribs crack. I took a step closer to stop it, to stop him. In a flash, someone was on top of Devin. Strong arms held Devin’s prisoner in a headlock and his legs wrapped around Devin’s abdomen.I wanted to scream but it quickly died in my throat as Odis and I realized the man in front of me was Gabe. Gabe. It was Gabe and he was on top of Devin. Well, he was wrapped around him like a python ready to suffocate his prey. Gabe grunted as he continued to squeeze Devin’s head, blocking his airflow.I wanted to cry out happily but I couldn’t. Gabe was here. Why was he here? He wasn’t supposed to be here. Things were going differently since he was alive. He was standing, breathing, his head was still attached to his body. Maybe things were turning out differently.Maybe Gabe was safe, ma
“Do you understand what I’m saying?” Odis asked. I couldn’t find the words to speak, so I nodded. “Good,” Odis said as his grip on me loosened. “Why don’t you let her go?” A voice called out to us. Looking up, I searched for the source of the voice. My eyes widened as I found Devin watching up. His gaze locked around Odis’ arms that were still wrapped around me to his hands that gripped my arms. “I promise I’m more fun,” Devin teased. I know what it looked like. It looked like I was being held back from moving. It looked like Odis was stopping me from helping Shane. It looked like I was stuck between two packs, two men. The situation I found myself in was precarious. I was now stuck between two Betas who were supposed to protect me, despite their conflicting thoughts regarding me. I hadn’t had much time with Devin since I’d been back. He hadn’t been the nicest, shit, I don’t think he even liked me. That didn’t change the fact that Devin was Beta of Half Moon pack. Shane was his
I didn’t have an answer and I prayed I didn’t have to make the choice. Not only had everyone stopped moving but it had gone deathly silent. For a moment, everyone and everything froze. There wasn’t a whisper of wind in the air, the trees stood still, and it was so quiet you could hear a pin drop. It was the calm before the storm. It felt like someone had pushed the pause button and all at once the play button was pressed and all hell broke loose. As if planned, the two of them ran toward each other. I looked past Ethan and my gaze landed on Shane’s chest. The sword had been taken out, a gaping hole was left in its place right next to his heart. Now that it was gone, I could see I had barely missed his heart. If I’d been one inch to the right, he would have died. How had I missed that? I didn’t kill him. Was I not paying attention? Why hadn’t I looked at his heart? I had aimed, hadn’t I? Had I meant to miss it? No, I had meant it, or else I wouldn’t have stabbed him at all. I tried to
