Mine.He’d filled her full, and every movement caused some of that sticky wetness to spill out of her and coat both of them.He kept rocking with her until he was sure the pleasure was spent, but even then, it was still a long while before either of them moved.It was Prairie Rose who opened her eyes first. She took his face between her palms and kissed him, a satisfied, fulfilled, leisurely kiss that made him want to chase another round of passion with her there in that little cave.“As much as I’d like to stay here all day with you, people will look for us. We’re late, but that doesn’t matter. Couples break off all the time.” She untangled herself and stood up. She held out her hand to him anyway.Prairie RoseThe big cabin was full of noise and commotion. It was full-on chaos with all her brothers and sisters, her parents, Kieran and Zora’s twins, Briar May and Castor’s daughter, and Blake and Levi running through the place.It might have taken them until spring to finally get toge
“I like the Roman era,” the older boy said. “I’m Blake. This is Levi. Dad said we needed to introduce ourselves to you and help you until he was back.”Levi’s nose wrinkled. “You’re still all bloody. It’s fine to be dirty and bloody, but I think that you wouldn’t like it. We can run you a bath. We have bubbles if you want.”“She needs a shower, she’s not going to want to bathe in blood.” Blake was clearly used to being the older, logical, in charge brother.“We can show you where it is and make you something to eat if you’re hungry.” At the expression on her face, Levi grinned. “Maybe not yet, but you probably will be once you get clean. Getting clean changes people. And you’ll need something anyway. Dad is foul after feast and celebration nights because his head hurts the next morning, but in the afternoon, he eats. We all need good food if we want to be strong.”“That’s right.” She tried not to sound patronizing or let her amazement work its way out. She wasn’t used to being looked
Finally, her better judgment won out. She raced across the cave and stepped on the bottom half of her dress. It was old and the cotton tore clean away. She wadded up the cloth and stuffed it against the gaping wound, pressing hard. “Help me!” she screamed.Someone moved. A young woman. She placed her hands over the quickly reddening fabric. By the look on her face, that wolf was her mate.“You’ll need something else to stop the bleeding.” Prairie Rose jerked herself upright, head swimming violently with the effort of too much movement.She wouldn’t let her body go down again. Another wolf flew off of Agnar, steeling her determination. There was just enough of him showing that she could see the multiple wounds where he bled from. Bite marks and claw marks both. He looked half ripped apart. Blood pooled around him as the other wolves battled.A second wolf was flipped and pinned in the struggle. It came back, its shaggy brown fur matted in blood. Agnar whirled on it again, throwing off
“Come,” Agnar commanded briskly. “We walk to our ceremonial site.”He wasn’t a man to wait around and take her hand. He didn’t ask her if she needed anything or care that her equilibrium was way the hell off. To him, she’d given her word, he’d prepared her accordingly with harsh words along the way, and that was all that was needed.She left her bag sitting out in the back of the truck and hurried to keep up with the men who stalked ahead, hulking black shadows in the night. As they got further past the buildings, there seemed to be a garden and several greenhouses. That made her heart quicken with joy. There was nothing she loved more than gardening. Vegetables, flowers, and herbs, she loved all of it in equal measure. She took little joy in cooking, was hopeless at flower arrangements, and was less than useless when it came to practicing medicine, but from planting to harvest she excelled.Prairie Rose was taken aback at the way the chain link fence continued on, those rolls of glea
AgnarIt could be a cruel land, but after the driving snows and icy temperatures that stole the breath clean out of his body, Agnar craved the red dirt and earthy smell of his desert home. There was death there and darkness, but it was also a land strewn with sunlight and flowers, their pungent scent perfuming the air. It might be a perilous place to live, but its beauty was resplendent.The delicate beauty of his mate was nothing like Arizona.Shadowed in the dark of night, Prairie Rose faced the window as she had for most of the drive. No matter how many hours passed, she stayed fixed in one place like a statue. She was beautiful in the traditional sense. High cheekbones, star lights twinkling in the depths of velvet brown eyes, a delicate nose, and full lips. Her hair, somewhere between blonde and white could probably have been called champagne. Expensive champagne. Prairie Rose was as regal as any princess, especially dressed in a velvet dress, the fabric so thin that it looked de
Alina, upon returning home, found the hybrid being in her bed, she felt a great energy flooding her and that her sexual fiction came true, she suddenly remembered the boss and became elusive — Let's stop this madness, get out of my house! She has no right to kiss me and take advantage of the fact that I am alone and sad to have a good time of fun... — It's not crazy, I'm alone too. There is nothing wrong with loving, understand that... We are not fooling anyone. —Alina I have no other...—We are a reality. There is mutual attraction, I felt it when I kissed her. — She is wrong with me, she does not know what she feels or what I want, I am a serious woman and I know when to decide to do something. Now I want you to go away and forget the incident, she told him, as she opened the door for him and pointed out her...She was thinking of Italy with the funny boss, she was also annoyed that he disappeared and returned later without warning.He couldn't forget her kiss, nor her smell, nor th
