Landon took another deep breath to control the urge to reach out and snatch his mate.
He couldn’t take his eyes off her as she rinsed another dish and set it on the rack to dry. She insisted on doing the dishes after he cooked their simple dinner.
Landon wished he knew she would be here tonight. He would have bought more food and hid his alcohol stash if he knew this would end up happening.
After Brooklyn&
Brooklyn pulled out a granola bar from her now dry bag and took a large bite from it, trying to focus on the numbers on her computer. Hunter was by far the most distracting and forward man she had ever met. It had been nearly
Landon took in a deep breath as the door closed behind him. It took everything in him not to barge back in that room and hide Brooklyn away from everything. He needed to get her out and safe before anything happened to her. He also felt embarrassment slide through him at his sloppiness. She probably thought he was some sort of creepy stalker at this point. He had a hard time keeping his distance and his mouth sh
A slight vibration against her thigh alerted Brooklyn of a message and she fished her phone from the fabric of her cocktail dress. ‘Don’t forget about the Arroyos. They told me they will meet you by the bar. They both have red shirts.’ Vincent messaged. Brooklyn quickly texted back a response before she squared her shoulders
Red started receding from his sight as Landon focused on his mate. Brooklyn’s blue eyes were wide with terror as she looked at him.

He took a deep breath, taking in as much of it as he could.He heard a light scoff and turned his attention to Brooklyn, who was leaning against the kitchen counter. “Why do you always smell like that?” Landon couldn’t help but smile at how ridiculous he must have looked.
Brooklyn scoffed and folded her arms, trying to keep out from under Hunter’s spell. He had so much control over her, especially when he was this close. And Brooklyn hated it. “Hunter...” Hunter’s face lowered close to hers. She heard him take a deep breath and let it out slowly.
Landon watched in satisfaction as his mate dozed off in his arms. It took a lot of coaxing, but she finally allowed him to hold her in his arms. Brooklyn slumped her weight against him and closed her beautiful blue eyes. After almost an hour of talking, Brooklyn finally fell asleep. It was a good thing, too, seeing as though it was incredibly late and she was attacked in the club earlier today. Brooklyn patiently explained her involvement with Vincent and although he was strongly against
Brooklyn jumped out of her skin when she saw a shadow sleeping on the couch.She quickly flicked on the light to her office, illuminating the shadow passed out on the small sofa in front of her desk. “Lacy? What are you doing here?”
