His chin rests atop my head as he rocks me gently, his fingers stroking slow, comforting lines down my spine.“You’re okay,” he says, his voice a low rumble against my ear. I rest my head against his shoulder with my eyes closed. We don’t stay outside for long because within minutes I’m drained and
A soft, warm pressure envelops me, cocooning me in a familiar scent that seeps through my skin and calms the raging fire burning beneath. Alec.His chest is pressed to my back, his arm wrapped around my waist, holding me close. The slow, soothing stroke of his thumb against my skin sends a shiver do
“You’ve got it all wrong,” he murmurs, his voice breaking.I blink, the words not quite registering.“I want you,” Alec says, his eyes burning into mine. “God, Sadie. I want you so badly it’s killing me.” His thumb brushed along my jaw, a soft, reverent touch. “But not like this.”My chest tightens.

“So...” Jason clears his throat. “Can you still... you know, have kids?”Brian’s face darkens. “We don’t know that either. After all we are a mix, so we are not sure if we can a sire kids with either of the two species. Being hybrid has probably messed our bodies, so we are not sure if that’s still
“Hey,” he says, his voice a bit too loud.Micah and Jason follow close behind, each taking a seat around the table. Micah’s gaze flicks between Alec and me, his brows pulling together as if he’s piecing something together.“So,” Brian says, leaning back and propping his elbows on the back of his cha
The room feels too small, the air too thick. Alec is only a few feet away, and even from here, his scent is a dark, potent cloud that wraps around me, sinking deep into my lungs, into my blood, until I feel like I’m drowning in it.I squeeze my eyes shut, trying to block him out, trying to will my b
