~Sonya~I wanted to rip her head off! How dare she sit with my mate as if she belongs there. He’s mine, and I won’t give up the benefits that come with being with him just because she doesn’t know her place. After walking around for a while, I decide to talk to my mate.I find him in the closet, shifting through his clothes when I get to the room. He has freshly showered and smells really good. He looks indecisive, which is weird. He’s only like this when he’s trying to dress to impress, and he doesn’t know the best way to do that. “What exactly are you doing?” Devonte looks at me like a deer caught in headlights. Why he looks so guilty, I have no idea.We stand staring at each other; the silence is starting to piss me off. I cross my arms over my chest and begin to tap my foot. “Well?!” Devonte shakes his head and goes back to examining his clothes.“I’m going out.” I continue to stare at him, waiting for more of an explanation. “I’m having dinner with Lynn.” I drop my arms and slowl
~Ivan~It’s been hard lately, but I wouldn’t change anything. My love has been by my side, and I’m eternally grateful. She’s been keeping her distance, but I’d rather have her here and keeping away than to be away from me.That damn gremlin was in here again, messing with her. I would end him, but he’s been vital to my survival all this time. I heard their conversation, and I didn’t like it. I don’t need her to be pressured into anything. I want her to accept me on her own and not because she’s forced to. “I’m sorry about him. He tends to speak without thinking. I will make sure he stays out of here so you won’t have to worry about him anymore.” Aida doesn’t respond, but I didn’t expect her to. I just want her to know I didn’t send him here to say anything to her. It’s important that she sees me in a favorable light.Aida is looking at me in a different way than usual. She’s looking at me as if she wants me, but I know that isn’t right. She’s wanted nothing to do with me since our las
~Lynn~I don’t wait for Devonte to walk with me. I make sure I swish my hips as I walk because I know he’ll look. I get into the driver’s seat of the waiting SUV and wait for Devonte to get in. Nothing happens for a while, so I look to the side, and Devonte looks at me like I’m crazy. I give him an award-winning smile. “Get in the car, handsome. I’m driving. It isn’t like you know where to go or anything.” He hesitates for a minute, then gets in the car.The energy inside the car is a bit charged. I guess he doesn’t like me taking over to drive. I laugh internally at that. If this bothers him, he’s in for a rude awakening. I plan to be the master over all he sees for the night.I pull away from the packhouse and drive out of the gates. We won’t be going too far, but he doesn’t know that. I figure that part of my plan should include making him see how desirable I am. It never hurts to show the guy what he could be missing out on if he doesn’t get it together.The trip takes about twent
~Aida~The silence grows between us, and it’s starting to make me anxious. This is a vampire sitting across from me; he’s a vampire and my fated mate. I have no idea how I’ve gotten to this point or what I’m expected to do from here.Ivan takes a deep breath and lets it go, leaning forward. He rests his elbows on his knees and places his head in his hands. “I haven’t been a good man, like ever.” Here we go. “I wasn’t born a vampire; I was turned. I happened to rob the wrong person…..well, I tried to anyway.” Ivan chuckles and sits back in the chair. “I thought it would be the payday that would set me up for life, but I was wrong. I was wrong about my setup, that is.”“I had been watching a house that held a lot of expensive items. I went in one night, expecting it to be a quick grab, but I didn’t make it out. I had no idea it was a vampire I was robbing; I didn’t even know they existed.” Ivan sighs and shifts in his seat. “He bit me and made me like him. He also took me under his wing
~Devonte~Dinner was pretty good, but enjoying it with my mate sitting across from me was hard. I kept noticing her every movement, how she chews, how her tongue grazes her lips. I wanted to be the fork she ate with, the cup she drank from. Hell, I wanted to be the food itself.I somehow managed to finish eating, and now we are sitting quietly with an after-dinner drink. “We should talk.” I look up at Lynn, her fingers caressing her glass. I clear my throat.“Yes, we should.” I take a deep breath, ready to get this over with, and try to salvage any relationship I may still have with Sonya.“Were you turned on when we were sparing?” Shit! This question again? She’s like a dog with a freaking bone. I would have thought she would have let that go by now.“I don’t really want to talk about that. We have more important things to discuss.” Lynn gets up and saunters out of the room. I turn to watch her but lose her once she gets past the doorway. I’m not sure if I should follow her or not. T
~Lynn~Well, shit! I don’t know anyone who could come without contact with their member. This has to be one of the hottest things I’ve ever been involved in or even seen. I’m so wet; it’s incredible. If this is a one-time thing, I want to make sure I savor every moment I have.I picked up the riding crop on a whim before I left Spencer’s. I figured it would be a good addition to my purchased kit, but I didn’t expect to use it initially. The idea hit me as we were finishing our meal, and I’m glad I went with it. It was just a guess that he would like to be spanked. I never thought that spanking alone would bring him to his knees.I watch his essence leak from him, and I’m overcome with urges. I drop to my knees and suck his tip into my mouth. I swirl my tongue around his head and suck it in, taking it as far back as I can. I expected his stuff to be bitter, maybe even chalky, but it tastes sweet. I move my head back and forth, making his length slide in and out of my mouth. I make sure
~Devonte~I inhale deeply, the light shining on my eyes. I move around slightly, taking note of the softness underneath me. I crack my eyes open and quickly shut them. The light is way too bright for me. Maybe I can get Sonya to……The memories of the night before come flooding back to me. I’m not sure when we made it to a bed, but we did at some point. The ‘we’ would be Lynn and me, not Sonya. I was with my mate, Lynn, last night. I experience a wide range of emotions, including arousal and shock. What did I do?You did what you were supposed to do.I…I marked her. What was I thinking?You were thinking about all the pleasure our mate brought you. You were thinking about what a life with happiness would be.No, I wasn’t thinking at all. I have Sonya at home. I was supposed to be ending things, not marking Lynn.Cut the shit! You and I both know that last night was the best night of our lives. You’ve never been so sexually satisfied in your entire life. You even came…..multiple times.
~Lynn~As badly as I wanted to spend the rest of the morning and afternoon…..hell, the night with Devonte, I knew we had to get back. We had a round in the bed and another in the shower before getting dressed and in the car. I drove us back to the packhouse, wishing that we weren’t walking into a potential mess.I come to a stop in front of the packhouse and turn the car off. I take a minute to take a deep breath and notice that Devonte isn’t hurrying out of the car either. I turn to look at him, and he’s looking out the window. I reach over and squeeze his hand. “Having regrets?” Devonte looks at me, and my breath catches, waiting for his answer.“No. Not regretting a thing... well, maybe regretting that I took so long to accept you.” I smile and lean over to kiss his cheek. I hop out of the car, and Devonte is out by the time I make it to his side. The door opens, and my other sexy mate comes out, his strides long.I barely move forward a few steps before he wraps me in his arms and
