Grey's POV Without substantial proof, for the time being, I was among the streets of New York City once again. Only this time, it was with Spinner's words remaining true. I couldn't move an inch without feeling everyone's eyes on me, just waiting for me to make a damning move as an excuse to throw
His mouth was too warm and soft to be real as it descended lower and lower before the silk of my shorts slipped from my body. Although it was a silent thought as to why he didn't rip it off of me, he answered aloud. "Because you deserve to be cherished..." He kissed back against my skin, his tongu
"You sure?" "I need you to...I want to feel-" He silenced me with his tongue. I instantly clutched the bedding as he ate me out from behind. His tongue took torturous glides that were broken by the sucking motions to my inner bundle of nerves. When I began to buck against him, he widned me even fur
Elodie's POV I couldn't tear my eyes from the note since the second I found it tucked away into our secret place. I traced over the penmanship with a spark of familiarity coming to life beneath my touch in recognition. I wondered how he wrote it so quickly and how it was identical to the way it was
"You look stunning, baby." I closed my eyes in an attempt to settle my heart to his words. He was so casual with his titles that it almost made me feel guilty for not remembering them. On the very tip of my tongue was a similar compliment that silenced the way he came beside me. He was too close to
Grey's POV Pulling the note she kept close to her chest back to my nose for the countless time this week, I was existing with fraying patience. If her scent was not enough to remind me of how my body was feral to her then the fact she was still a spitfire stoked that last ember of remembrance. All
Elodie's POV Sitting on the chair across from Henry as he worked behind his desk, he believed I was working on my thesis for the end of the semester. With the way my fingers continuously clacked around my keyboard, it was easy to believe. But in truth, I was looking up any and all details I could a
"Name?" I gave my former roommates as most people would not recognize me away from Henry's arm. It seemed to work yet again as I was allowed inside after being patted down. Ensuring I was absent from any contraband, they guided me to the visitation room, and then I waited. I looked around to a wom
Grey's POV “I had this entire plan to go to dinner and then the boardwalk. I’d even rehearsed what to say at least a thousand times today…But I realized that when you’ve lived through what we have, the promises were already there. To me, a ring a no ring, yes or a no, my heart is and always will be
Elodie's POV SIX MONTHS LATER I'd already been waiting three hours after his meeting and my patience was too thin to test. He'd been acting shifty all day, almost as if he was hiding something. In fact, I knew he had been with the way he shuffled away from me whenever I tried to look at the screen
"I swear to God if I survive this I am going to become a demanding girlfriend." I grinned at the title she gave herself that I loved hearing, even in anger. Maybe even more so. "I will do everything with a smile. Now please, baby, you have to go." She sighed before standing. Leaning over me with a
Grey's POV I wasn't lying when I told her it was a risk. Not only to dance with death but in the return. Knowing if I were to wake as a human that it would be without the strength needed to protect her from the elements now out of my control, I felt more vulnerable than being formerly encaged in si
"It was a risk, but I had a feeling it would pay off to bet on you.""What are talking about?""Kinsey explained how she was able to become a human after I killed her the first time. Tied to Aslan's line, he gave his life as Alden had done for you. Since you were the one to kill me...I was able to c
Elodie's POVI never wanted to be one of those girls dependent on anyone. But losing someone like Grey Alluna was as if the sky no longer held stars, the gravity was purposeful but hollow in my heart and my head, and the oxygen I was forced to take was more painful than needed. I took mindless step
"Now, I'm giving you your punishment." I came down on her as I had done over a decade ago, teeth sinking into her neck, as she whimpered beneath me. When she would awaken again, it would be in a transition once again. Born a wolf, she never had to feel that painful shift between human and beast, the
Grey's POV It wasn't the abrupt silence of the crowd or the taste of the blood fading from my tongue that returned me to my humanity. It wasn't even the pull of her pleas dragging that part of me to the surface in a painful lurch. It was the sound of her heart accepting death without regret. The wa
"You smell so sweet." His voice had even changed. Where a smokiness existed behind some words now came a thick brutality. It was almost demonic. "How I've never fed on you before is a wonder I won't force myself to take for much longer. But I like a chase..." He released me with my broken hand and
