Zoe’s POV “Zayne, we need to talk!” I burst out with determination the second I walked in the door to our suite. “Well, hello to you too. My day was great! Thanks for asking!” He commented facetiously. “I guess I already know how your day was. What’s on your mind, Zo? “I want to leave for school early, take some time to get settled in before classes start, and find a job. Can you get me a ticket to Ashmouth for tomorrow morning?” I asked, softening my tone and giving him my best puppy-dog eyes. “Tomorrow!” He jumped up from his seat. “Why so soon? What’s going on, Zoe?” “I just need a change, Zayne. I’m about to crawl out of my skin here. I feel suffocated.” It wasn’t a lie. “Am I suffocating you? Because I know I’m not the best surrogate parent, but I try to give you as much space as I can while still making sure you know I’m here for you.” He said, his brow furrowed like he was trying to work out where he went wrong. I felt the pain on his face like a stab to the gut.
Zoe’s POV I thought about ignoring Dillon’s demand, but I knew it would be futile. He would catch me easily and drag me back. I was going to have to face him, face the reality of this disastrous bond. Steeling myself for the inevitable, I squared my shoulders and turned to face him. “Dillon, please-” I began, hoping to deflect his barrage of questions but he cut me off. “Don’t! I don’t want to hear your excuses anymore, Zoe! You’re going to talk to me, like it or not!” He said abruptly, his voice sharper than he’d ever been with me. “But, I-” I tried again, but he wouldn’t let me speak. “I said don’t!” He barked again. “And we are definitely not having this conversation here.” Dillon wrapped a large hand around my upper arm and pulled, forcing me to follow him. He led me out the front door and started dragging me towards the woods. But apparently I wasn’t moving fast enough for him because he suddenly swept my feet out from under me, lifting me into his arms so he could
Hello again lovely readers, Welcome to A Cruel Fate: Her Gamma's Regret! If you are joining again for this third and final book in this trilogy, welcome back! For those of you who read the first two books, Dillon and Zoe's story was happening concurrently in the timeline with the other two so we are going back in time a bit, but rest assured, this book will take us beyond book two, to the end of the line for the wolves or Dark Fae. Only time will tell who prevails. In addition to A Cruel Fate, I am currently writing another book that will be coming to GN soon. In order to continue with that process and maintain expectations for publishing both books in a timely manner, I will be updating this book on Monday, Wednesday, Friday evenings Hawaii Standard Time. This will allow me to update the other book on alternate days and have a rest on Sunday. Thank you all so much for joining me on this journey! Every comment, review, and gem means more to me than you know! Much love, Cara
(Mature content) Zoe’s POV Though it was only the second time, Dillon’s kisses were always a revelation. In all the nights I’d spent fantasizing about what it would feel like having his mouth on me, my innocent mind had never imagined this. It was both sweetness and sin, achingly gentle then bruisingly rough. He kissed me like it was the last time, but I couldn’t think about that now. “Fuck, Zoe! I’ll never get enough of you.” He breathed against my lips, then nibbled my bottom lip between his teeth. My answering gasp was the opening he needed and he took full advantage, sweeping his tongue between my lips. The way he licked and tasted me, moaning in satisfaction, made my head foggy and my knees weak. All I could do was cling to him and try to keep up. “Closer!” I insisted, weaving my fingers through his hair and wrapping one leg around his hip to press him closer to me. “I need you closer!” “With pleasure, baby doll!” He murmured as he nipped the sensitive spot below my ear
(Mature Content) Zoe’s POV “Please, Dillon! I want you to fuck me!” I pressed again as he continued to stare at me, a conflict raging behind his eyes. Finally, something snapped, and he stepped toward me, cupping my face in his hands. “Do you really want that?” He whispered, searching my eyes for the truth. “Yes!” I breathed, reaching for his cock that was iron hard and standing at attention between us once again. But Dillon grabbed my wrist, stopping me from touching him. “Not here.” He answered my questioning gaze. “I will not allow your first time to be up against a tree or on the dirty forest floor.” “Okay,” I nodded. “I know a place we can go.” “Tell me.” He ordered, snatching up our discarded shirts and lifting me into his arms. I coiled my arms around his neck and locked my ankles behind his back, then leaned forward to plant a chaste kiss on his lips before answering him. “To our old cabin, where we used to live before . . .” My words trailed off, not wanting the s
(Mature Content) Zoe’s POV “You’re going to come on my tongue now, baby doll.” Dillon ordered after thrusting his smooth tongue into me a few times. As soon as his last word was spoken, he was back to tongue fucking me. Every lick of his hot, silky tongue stroked my g-spot, driving me wild. I found myself forcing my hips down, trying to drive him deeper inside me. “That’s it, baby doll. Fuck yourself on my tongue. Use me, take what you need, my little goddess.” His words in my head startled me at first, but as they sunk in, it only made me wetter. “Fuck yes! Give me your sweet nectar, baby!” He linked again as another gush of slick poured from my hole. “Dillon . . . Fuck!” I screamed when he buried his tongue even deeper inside me and pinched my clit hard, ringing another orgasm from me. He continued to lick my walls until the last shudder of my release rippled through me. I laid there panting, sweat beading on my forehead, my hands still twisted in the sheets as I tried to com
(Mature Content) Dillon’s POV I knew I was sleeping, dreaming. But fuck, if the Goddess was going to bless me with a replay of my night with Zoe every time I fell asleep, I was going to be getting a lot more rest. I’d never felt more at peace than I did holding that woman in my arms. I would relive those moments every Goddess damn night if I could. “Are you sure you’re not too sore to go again, baby doll? You’re so tight and I’m not exactly small. And well, I did get a little rough.” I cringed at the thought of hurting her. “Yes you did, and I loved every minute of it. I am sore, but in a good way. And I’m definitely sure I want more of you.” She said confidently, licking her lips as she watched me stroke my growing erection. Everything she did made me hard. When she stared at me with that seductive look on her face, one she was too innocent to even know she was making, it fuckin’ drove me insane! My cock was already painfully hard and I needed my little baby doll to ease the ach
Zoe’s POV I stood at the luggage carousel biting my nails while I waited to pick up my bags. Guilt was gnawing at my insides as I recalled the way I’d left Dillon this morning. Should I have at least said goodbye? No. I shook my head to clear the doubt. He knew going in that I didn’t intend to accept the bond. Saying goodbye would have just led to rehashing the same old argument between us. At least this way, I left with good memories instead of the bad ones that had plagued the last two years of my life where Dillon was concerned. Plus, it felt good to take a little revenge. He should know what it feels like to be used then wake up alone. “Mate loves us! We should go home now!” My wolf growled again. Cinna had been hissing and snarling at me since I left the cabin this morning. The whole time I’d been with Dillon, she had been unusually quiet, almost as if she was afraid to interrupt the moment. Still, I could feel her presence front and center all night long. I wasn’t re
