What Lessons About Self-reliance Can Be Learned From 'Robinson Crusoe'?

A gasp escaped past her lips when she felt his tongue licking her skin where her neck meets her shoulder. Her heart drummed in her ears. Her chin quivering and her body trembling. A jolt of electrifying jolts ran down her body as his lips gave soft feathery kisses on her neck. She was a nervous mush in his arms. "Sweet," He rasped in his deep baritone voice. She stiffened, even more, when his nose caressed her jawline and he inhaled her scent. She was squished against his hard muscular chest and all she could feel and inhale was him. His big veiny hands, his muscular steel-like arms around her waist, and his sinful lips. "Your scent...mhmm... so f*cking addicting," a growl reverberated from his chest. "S...stop," She stuttered. "Shss..." The rough pad of his thumb caressed her lips.

“You must think so highly of yourself, Alpha Raelin.” “I am the Alpha of this pack, and my words are final here.” “You may be the alpha of this pack, but you're not my alpha, remember?” I snap back. He smirks. “You seem to be quickly forgetting who's in charge here. You're in this pack, and that subjects you to my orders.” The index finger of his free hand juts up the underside of my jaw at once, bringing my face so dangerously close to his. “I love your spitfire, rogue darling, but don't fucking cross my line.” “You crossed my line first.” I challenge, glaring down at his forearm still pinning me against the wall. “Oh really?” His taunting voice has me snapping my angry glare back up at his face as he continues. “You also seem to be forgetting that you trespassed into my pack first.

I almost choke as I gulp in a silent breath, feeling the pleasurable shiver of his burning gaze everywhere inside me: on my lips, down my spine, the pit of my stomach, in-between my legs….. “Selene may not have given me the mate I wanted in the exact form I was expecting, but she gave me what I prayed for nonetheless.” His voice sucks me out from my emotional dilemma. “You are mine, rogue darling. Mine and only mine. Your heart and body and soul belong to me. And you know it too.”
