Damn my mate is sexy. And strong. It’s smart to never forget just how strong a Guardian is, and to never underestimate one. I don’t usually go at Quinn with my full strength, unwilling to hurt her in any way, but she couldn’t focus this morning, and she needed a challenge. Joke’s on me, she’s been holding out on me too.Landing on your back hard, getting the wind knocked out you, and having that moment of being unable to breathe while your mate pins you to the ground and claims her victory over you in front of your entire pack is equal parts thrilling and humbling. I’m going to have to start pushing Quinn harder in our sparring sessions so she can push me harder. I need to up my game if I’m going to be worthy of having Quinn as a mate.I do feel better when Uncle Liam lets me know that not only he, but all of Quinn’s brothers, have fallen to her with that move. Now I know to watch out for it. But it makes me wonder, if she’s never used that move on me, what else is she holding back on.

The next morning, when we say goodbye to her parents, Quinn’s much more tearful than I expected. She and her mother hug for a long time, and I can see Aunt Angel whispering in Quinn’s ear, something I can't hear. Whatever it was, Quinn nods and then she hugs her father as I hug Aunt Angel.“Take care of yourself, Emerson, and take care of my daughter,” she says, kissing my cheek. My parents come out to say goodbye to them as well and when they're gone, I look at Quinn.“Are you alright?” I ask.She nods, wiping the tears from her face. I think about what Uncle Liam said and I step up, cupping her face in my hands and wiping her tears with my thumbs.“I don’t like seeing you cry,” I say, honestly.Her hands come to mine, holding them against her face. “I don’t do it very often.”“No, you don’t. I hope you know that I’m always here for you, Quinn. If ever, whenever, you need me.”She smiles, but it doesn’t spread to her eyes. “I know,” she says pulling away from me and walking inside. I

It’s been over a week since my parents were here. I’ve been trying to get the courage to do what my mother said, to demand what I want from Emerson when we’re alone, and I think I’ve done it a bit. I’ve noticed that he touches me more often, especially when we’re alone. He’ll stroke my hand, sometimes my cheek and lately he’s started kissing me goodnight. Each time, the kiss seems to get deeper and I can feel him responding to me, but he’s still not willing to go any further.I’m in my office one morning when my twin calls to invite me to Cohen’s birthday party. It’s so good to hear from her and as usual, she realizes immediately that something is wrong. I had told her of my epic fail on trying to seduce Emerson.“I wouldn’t call it a failure. For Emerson, those were huge strides, but perhaps he needs to go slower. Going from total control to no control couldn’t have been easy for your stuffy Alpha.”From anyone else, I would have probably growled or put them in their place, but this i

I watch as Riley walks, no stomps, out of my office. I’ve only ever seen Riley cry once in my life and that was when we saw Emlyn bruised from Rich cheating on the mate bond that he couldn’t feel.When the door closes, I scrub my hands over my face. I’ve been trying to find the right time to have my night with Quinn. And I’ve tried to be better about giving her affection when we’re alone. But I can only do so much before I’m on the verge of exploding and I have to back off.I’ve noticed, however, that Quinn still looks like a wilting flower. Obviously, Riley is seeing or hearing more than I am, and I know I need to do something, something more than I've been comfortable doing so far. Before I can decide what that is, there’s a knock at my door.“Come in, Quinn,” I say, smelling her sweet mandarin orange scent. Goddess, the closer she gets to her birthday, the better she smells.“Hey,” she says and I see instantly what Riley is upset about. Quinn looks sad. She’s never looked sad and it

I don’t know what snapped inside Emerson, but ever since that day in his office, he’s made a point to touch me, hug me, and even kiss me in public. I know it’s hard for him, I can tell that he’s struggling, but it seems like my happiness is all the encouragement that he needs to continue. And I am happy. Much happier than I was. He basically claimed me in front of the entire pack.I could feel the pack’s happiness and I’m sure he could too. And while we still haven’t slept together, he now kisses me goodnight every night and those kisses are becoming longer and deeper, with his hands beginning to roam over my body. He always seems very interested in how my body responds to him.Today, though, is Cohen’s birthday. We have to arrive while they are at dinner and since we’re driving, we have to get there on time, hide the car, and then be ready to jump out and say surprise when they get home.Since I haven’t been to a party in a while, I ask some of my sprite friends to help me get ready.

I knew the moment that I saw Quinn in that dress that there was no way that I was going to make it home tonight. So, everything I planned for tonight will be put on hold until tomorrow when we get home. Maybe it’s better. Tonight will only be about me and her.As soon as we arrived and Quinn went off with her sister and Riley, I found Jace and made sure there was a room for us. If they’d been full, I’d have found a hotel somewhere between here and our pack. That’s how desperate I am for my mate. I’m not sure if it’s that I’ve made up my mind, or if she’s just so fucking sexy that I can’t stand it, but tonight will definitely be our night.I was thankful that Jace didn’t offer to put us on the Alpha floor. I already know that it will be loud up there with Cohen and Malin celebrating, but also, Riley and Clint will be in his old room, so I’d much rather be in one the empty guest rooms on the other side of the house. This way, no one who is family will hear my mate tonight.I lead her to
The Stoic Alpha Chapter 27: Quinn
There is something extremely attractive about Emerson being so dominant. I can tell he’s on the verge of losing control and the only thing keeping him in check is dominating my body. And oh, holy mother Moon Goddess, is he dominating my body.I’ve touched myself, found my own release many times in my life, but this…this is way beyond anything that I’ve ever made myself feel. And he hasn’t even moved past my breasts. I didn’t know it was possible to come just from your mate sucking your nipples, but I’m here to tell you, it is possible. At least if you have Emerson licking and sucking on them like they are the most incredible thing he’s ever put in his mouth.His hands are everywhere, his mouth is everywhere, and while I want to be a participant in this, our first of what I hope is many matings, he’s overwhelming my senses. On top of that, he seems to want and need control and I’m willingly giving it to him.When he commands me to say his name when I orgasm again, I feel heat flooding m

I wake for the first time with my mate in my arms. I’m not sure I’ve ever slept through the night. It’s not that I don’t sleep, but I tend to toss and turn. I can tell that I didn’t move all night, my body, mind, and soul all at peace having this fascinating and incredible woman beside me.I look down at her, her white, blond hair spread out across my chest, a stark contrast to my dark skin tone. I’m not sure I expected her to give herself to me so completely. I kept Clint’s words of advice in my head, and he wasn’t wrong. Quinn giving me control over her perfect body, letting me taste her and fill her had been beyond anything I’d ever experienced, well, at least until I’d had my first orgasm inside her. I thought I’d died and gone to the Moon Goddess’ realm. Yeah, I know I’m going to want to taste and fill this woman every damn day. I can already tell that I’ll never, ever be able to get enough of her. And now, I’m excited to find all the ways I can dominate this body and to see what
