Aurora
Sawyer stared at me like he wasn’t sure if he should fall at my feet and worship me or have me committed. “I need to be flustered and delirious. And that’s exactly what you made me feel. This time, you bite me. You claim my flesh and let me feel the burn.” Holding up the white dress, I smiled. “This ridiculous thing covers every inch of my skin. No one will see the mark until Archer pries this dress off me. Then I’m going to fight him. He won’t expect it.”
“He gets sloppy when he rages. I hate putting you in this position. When he smells your arousal, he will barely be able to hold it together.”
“It’s going to happen whether we like it or not, please, give me what I need. They will expect your scent around me since you’ve been my guard tonight, so they won’t pay close attention as to where it is.” I gave a wicked smile that I didn’t know I was capable of.
“I can’t deny you, my princess.”
“Thank the goddess.”
In a blink, he ripped open the back of my dress and let it fall to the floor. We had to be careful with his clothes since he wasn’t changing. Stripping down as fast as I could, I let the flood of desire consume me. We were both bare as he carried me to the neatly made bed.
“All I want is to feast on your sweet pussy until you come, but unfortunately, I wouldn’t be able to hide that scent.” I couldn’t help but laugh as I quieted him with a kiss. This time I was completely in charge. He laid down on the bed as I straddled his naked body. His warm fingers went to my clit and began working it until I could feel the low-pressure building, and slickness began to seep from my core. Sweeping his fingers back, he gently used them to thrust into my entrance, moving the wetness around stretching me. I knew he was big, but we had to be quick. I was wet, ready, and his hardness was growing and trapped between us. He moved his hands to my hips as I slowly soaked the underside of his shaft with my pussy. I moved up and down, coating him. He groaned and held on.
“Just like with you. The moment I come, bite me.”
“Yes,” he was barely keeping it together. I felt hot precum drip from him and mix with my own heat. “You do the same.”
Everything with Sawyer felt right. I lifted off him enough for him to help angle his cock up as I eased myself down. In one smooth sweep, I was fully seated on him. My body felt whole. This is where I belonged. How anyone could miss that or dare, try to separate us were fools. Neither one of us was dying tonight. We’d run. If I could knock Archer out, we would make it.
Our rhythm quickened as the orgasm started building deep within me. Sawyer sat up as I rode him. His claws began to come out and sink into my fleshy ass. It was exquisite pain as he pumped inside of me.
“You are a stunning goddess, Aurora. You are a woman in the throes of passion about to come undone. This is what a wolf in heat should look like. I love you.”
His words sent me sailing over the edge. I leaned down, and instead of screaming out in pleasure as I would have liked, I bit down again. His shoulder was healed from the last time, but then I felt it. Sharp blades went into my skin. It was white-hot pain that made me come even harder. The original fluttering of my tight delicate inner muscles was nothing compared with the deep hard spasms that overtook my body and even my womb. I could feel everything contract and release as Sawyer’s thick cock and teeth sunk into me. I clung to him for dear life, and we came together again. My body felt as if it were on fire. Sweat broke out, and I never wanted to be separated from this man. He was a part of me. We were one. How did sex get this intense in a matter of twelve hours? Our first time was incredible, but this shattered my body and soul.
I felt new strength and a shimmer of the same reflected in his eyes. We began licking the other’s wounds and panting, trying to catch our breath. A knock came on the door.
“Just a minute,” I breathless yelled out. We both felt the physical pain as our bodies untangled. We stood, and I hated that his freshly planted seed ran down my leg. He grabbed a sheet from the bed and began to wipe down my body.
“It’s Mrs. Drake. In thirty seconds, I’m coming in. The men won’t be too far behind. Sawyer get the hell of there, and next door with the girls.”
“I love you, beyond words, beyond measure, beyond reason, I love you. I swear to the goddess, Archer won’t have you.” He kissed me hard and started grabbing his clothes, and in a blink, he was gone. What the fuck? I removed the silencing ward.
“He’s gone. Come in.” I tried to keep my voice steady, but I wanted to scream and figure out where my love had gone.
“How,” she asked as she came in. “What did you do?” but then she looked around at the state of the room and my naked body with fresh teeth marks on my shoulder right above my heart. I’d never seen shock on another person’s face.
“I needed to look like I was in heat and feel pain. Bites are supposed to hurt.”
“But there, Aurora, that’s the mating mark.” She absent-mindedly touched her own shoulder.
“It felt like the right place, and this stupid dress will cover it.” I touched the spot. The blood had stopped. “Grab some cloth and cover it while you get my dress.”
She moved like an automated machine. “I don’t want to know the details, but you’ve certainly faked an excellent heat. Even I’m having trouble distinguishing it from the real thing. But child, you will pay for it as soon as Archer sees. Just like your mother, you’ve chosen the dangerous road.” She shook her head. “But it suits you. You never belonged locked up in a tower. You were meant to be free, and I think the goddess has answered our prayers.”
“What do you mean?”
Before she could answer, the doors swung open as my father, Linus, and Archer stood there taking the scene in.
“Yes, my little bride,” Archer marched towards me, sniffing the air. “What a good little wife, already knows her place and what will make me happy.”
“Step away from the girl. Propriety, you are not yet married.” Mrs. Drake tsked like an old schoolmarm. “Clearly, this is going to be a problem. The other girls are not as nearly as bad, but they can’t stay. They all need to shift and get home. I certainly don’t want my daughter harassed by a strange male. Her virtue is valuable for a match.” She spoke the language of these assholes and was playing a role.
“No, we can’t have any instinctual interference. Oliver, I can’t believe how potent the little thing is. The stars are aligning for us.” The smug man slapped my father on the back and smiled at me. “How do you feel?”
I knew what to say. “Everything hurts. I’ve been rolling in bed trying to escape the pain.” I looked up through my eyelashes, making sure I let embarrassment paint my cheeks. “I need…”
“I know exactly what you need,” Archer said with a smirk.
“Alright, gentlemen, let’s let her finish getting ready, and we will tell the guest they are to leave as soon as the vows are said.”
“Agreed.” They all said at once. I hated the Bastards for thinking they could decide my fate.
Sawyer Winnowing had never been that instinctual. I was surprised. I only wished I could take us far away. I was trying to calculate where we could go and how far I could carry her in the back of my mind. At most, if I could get us out of the hotel and into the truck, I stashed by the highway, but she’d have to take over. I don’t know how long I’d be out carrying her with me. It seems we both can do a little faerie magic, but it shouldn’t be possible. I dressed in the shadows as I stood in the entryway outside the girls’ new room. I was solid by the time my father and brother came walking by. Not even stopping to talk, father yelled, “Is it true?” before they marched into Aurora’s room.&n
Aurora Sawyer was silent as he kept his eyes on me. I swear I could hear him in my mind. It was nothing but affirmations of his love and praise. He also cursed himself for being useless. He hated feeling powerless, and it was a new sensation for him. Me, I’d spent most of my life in fear and taking orders. I put on a brave face as Archer took me into the room. I couldn’t stop the shiver of fear. My body was screaming for the man on the other side of the door and was repulsed at the one standing in front of me. “Alright, Wife, let’s get this taken care of.” “Aurora.” “What did you say?” his eyes went cold. &nbs
Prologue I never expected to have my brother's blood all over my hands. I knew he was evil. I knew he was a cruel deviant. I just never expected to find myself coated in his blood, looking into the eyes of his frightened and traumatized widow. "What do we do with the body?" she frantically asked. She was in shock, but that didn't make her stupid. This woman was incredible even in one of the lowest moments of her young life. Dressed in a white negligee that was stained red. I checked her over for injuries. I could see the handprint swelling on her cheek, the red chaffed skin around her wrists where he had tied her up, and the torn fabric where the monster tried to get between her legs. But there was no blood on her thighs from being forced, and I was
Chapter OneAurora CraneWhen I was a little girl, I dreamed of falling in love and living out my happily ever after, just like the stories in my magical book. I believed in fairy tales because my life really was one. I was a princess who lived in a tower, well, a sophisticated high rise that overlooked our kingdom in southern Illyria. It was a vast metropolitan area with lots of hustle and bustle. But unlike most cities you've heard of, ours was full of magic and creatures. I was the daughter of one of the most powerful Alphas in the world, or at least that's what Father said. Oliver Crane had been the leader of the Southside since his father died many moons ago. I'd never met my grandfather or grandmother. As far as I knew, except for my parents, I had no other family.&n
Chapter Two Sawyer Hawthorne I watched. As always, well, at least over the last four years, I was hidden in the shadows and watched every move Aurora Crane made. Tonight was no different. First, she had gone out with her friends for a late dinner. All-female friends, of course. It was a special occasion, and everyone knew it. The next day Aurora turned eighteen, and her father was hosting a massive ball in her honor. That wasn't unusual. Fathers usually doted on their daughters on their birthdays. No, what made this highly suspicious was the ball was to be held in a neutral hotel in the middle of Illyria. Outside the confines of Crane lands. It wasn't unusual for large events to be held in neutral territory, but she had never left her kingdom to my knowled
Chapter Three Aurora Brittney Connor, Betty Kent, and Mona Drake laughed as I belted one of the last songs from the play on our walk back toThe Tower. What we lovingly referred to Briar Heights as, despite living in a mixture of penthouses and million-dollar suites. I was getting into the moment. It was late, and I felt silly after having fun with my friends. My arms were stretched out wide as I looked to the stars and sang. We had an incredible night of decadent food and entertainment. I even had a new wardrobe in my closet. The dress I wore was new and very different from my usual attire. It was downright sexy, red, and over the top. Usually, my father had me dressed modestly in baby pink. I usually looked like a living doll. But tonight’s dress was fun, so I happily wore it. It made me feel like someone else. &nbs
Chapter FourSawyer I didn't imagine it. She really saw me tonight. There was no denying it. She looked for me and found me. Her glance lingered, and she knew. We were connected. Has she always known, or tonight did I will her to see me? Whatever caused it, we both knew it was a secret that neither one of us would ever tell. She turned her head and went back to talking with her friends. Her bodyguards were morons who didn't use their eyes or noses. Or else surely, over the years, I would have been caught. Especially when I did what I was about to do. After Aurora, her friends, and the guards went into the Tower; I waited. I knew my princess l
Chapter FiveSawyerI closed my eyes to kiss her. I want to say it was a habit to close them when I kissed a girl, but the truth was I didn’t kiss. Sure I’ve received my share of lap dances and one very unfulfilling blow job that my brother forced upon me at the strip club he owned, goddess. I felt so bad for the girl. She was begging for drugs, my brother said suck him, and he'd give her what she wanted. I couldn't even get hard, which he further made fun of me for and kicked the girl over to another of his friends. Who happily whipped his dirty hard cock out for her. After that, I avoided meeting him there at all costs. Even after spending time in those places alwa
