More updates to come, apologies! My network is up and down today and we have rolling blackouts within the course of the day. I will upload as much as I am able to.
I decided to leave the gym after my kiss with Cherie, because there was no way I would pay attention to the work out when my temptation is so close. I need to get out of here and spend the day alone in my head.So for once, I actually walk into my office, but I head straight for the liquor stand in my entertainment section. I haven’t had bourbon in a while, and the taste of the amber liquid slipping down my throat is exactly what I need right now. I don’t want to think, because I won’t be able to stop my thoughts from straying to her. Watching over the New York skyline, I bite my tongue bar and hate that I can still smell her scent on me.Hours pass, maybe - I lose sense of time standing there with my mind blank, willing it not to go think of those amber eyes.“I knew you had more of Uncle Nikolai in you,” a familiar voice comes from behind me while I’m lost in my own thoughts and I can’t help but smile and shake my head.“Fuck, the circus is in town,” I say and finish the last of my
Obviously, I didn’t listen to Rebecca because I’m back at the gym today. She kept on scowling at me, but I can’t help it if it’s grown to be my comfort. “What if you see him with that woman again? Isn’t it better that you stay away until you feel better?” she asks while we walk towards the private fighting cage - a bonus if you’re a Volkov Brand fighter. “Then I’ll ignore him and if he throws it in my face, I’ll reject him,” I say and walk inside the octagon while she closely follows behind me. “I need this, Rebecca; I can’t hide away.”I won’t mention how I need this not because I want to forget, but because fighting helps me this time of the month. If I’m exhausted enough by the time I need to go home, the full moon doesn’t bother me and neither does my heat. I’ve been conditioned to forget, to ignore my body’s wants and needs - this is no different.She bites her bottom lip but nods anyway. “Fine, but if you need help kicking his ass, I’m here. I’ll use my fairy princess magic on
His crimson eyes are blazing with fury as he pins me against the cage.“Are you doing this on purpose? Have you seen what happens when I lose my temper?” he growls. “You’re putting what’s mine on display; don’t make me kill every fucking male in this gym.”I scoff at his words. “What’s yours?! How presumptuous of you!” I exclaim, pushing that brick wall again. “I’m not yours until your mark shows I am!”Gods, what the heck is wrong with me? Why am I playing with an inferno like Creed Volkov, especially when he’s clearly close to his rut? His behavior should have told me I'm making a huge mistake, but no…it’s his grin that tells me I’m in a world of fucking trouble.He grabs both my hands and pins them above my head with only one of his. “By the look in your eyes, I know you’ve just realized your mistake, am I right?” he murmurs, before leaning his head down close to mine and claiming my lips with a vicious kiss.This one isn’t as sweet as the kiss in the boardroom, this one is filled
I sit with my elbows braced on my knees, my fingers laced together in fists in front of my mouth…while staring at my sleeping weakness.If I had to tell you today was a mistake, would you believe me? If I had to take it all back and let her walk away from me instead of pulling her back…would I? Could I honestly be the better man and swallow my pride, allowing her to reject me and move on?I should, but I am not the better man.She pushed, but I pushed back harder; she pulled and my self-restraint snapped. Now she’s engraved on my skin, embedded in my scent, and I refuse to let her go. Not when I’ve had a taste of what could be mine. No, let me rephrase that; what IS mine. I have never been possessive of anything and I am not the jealous type, but when I caught the scent of her heat and knew other males could as well… let's just say I understand why my father went complete caveman when he met my mother.Once again, I drink her in; the curve of her hips, the swell of her breasts, her t
A taste - she can have every fucking part of me.“You can have anything you want, moye solntse, I told you before that you’re in control. I’m yours; use me,” I say with my voice low and she gets off the barstool only to turn me around and drop to her knees in front of me. It happens so quickly that I am momentarily stunned looking down at her in the perfect submissive pose.Lifting up my tank top, her eyes widen as she takes in the rows of tungsten dermal balls going down both sides of my v-line, then she leans forward and runs her tongue down the piercings, causing me to grab her hair and moan loudly.“You really like piercings,” she giggles before she looks up at me and strokes the bulge in my joggers, making me suck in a breath. “Don’t tell me you’re-”“No,” I chuckle at her assumption. “My cock isn’t pierced - yet.”“Yet!” she scoffs with a smile before looking back up at me with those eyes that bring me to my knees. “I never thought I’d like submitting to you, but being down her
I should feel mortified, disgusted or burning with shame over what happened between Creed and me today. But, oddly, I don’t; I actually feel comfortable around him and would 100% do it again.It’s weird how the Mate Bond makes me trust him, and how he seems to trust me as well. He’s also given me my freedom and said he would wait for me, something I never thought would be possible with such an impulsive and impatient man like Creed Volkov.Now we’re sitting in his kitchen drinking coffee as if I didn’t just have his cock down my throat.“Here,” he hands me what seems like a pill bottle. “I had Sage get it for me since he has sway over most shifter hospitals in the city.”I look at the grey unmarked bottle and shake it; when it rattles, I know my first thoughts were right. “What is this?”He draws his cup to his lips and it's the most erotic thing I’ve ever seen; damn this Bond. “It’s something to help suppress your heat, if need be, that is. I know you might not have needed it in the
After getting Rebecca calm and waiting for her to get dressed, I sit her down in the living room with a cup of chamomile tea. She checked her security feed and we noticed Sage walking into the penthouse, going into her bedroom and when he walked out he smirked and waved at the camera above her bedroom door.He planned this not caring if she’d be home or not - he didn’t give a shit if she was there or not.“This doesn’t make sense,” she says, shaking her head. “He knew the codes to my penthouse and my safe. How?! How did he know them?!”I rub her back, wishing I had the answers for her. “Let's start with what he took, okay? You mentioned a Keep?”She’s sitting with her legs tucked underneath her and nods her head in the affirmative. “I’m a princess, right? He basically stole the keys to a fortified part of my castle - the most secure. He might have found our hidden village and taken my Court, but he wouldn’t have been able to get into the Keep.”“Is there something inside the Keep he w
Sage: Four Years Ago Another fucking meeting that could have been a conference call. I know Creed told me to take care of business like this, but this is fucking ridiculous. I must look like I enjoy being in meetings day in and day out; either that or I’m wearing a goddamn clown suit I’m not aware of. At least this time the meeting was right in the middle of New York, but it still wasted my time. Now I’m seated in an upmarket bar where only the wealthy converge, sipping on expensive alcohol to keep up appearances. Drawing the glass of whiskey to my lips, I empty the contents and gesture to the bartender for a refill. The sting of the alcohol leaves a trail of fire down my throat, but I don’t even blink at the feeling. As pissed off as I try to feel at Creed for the unimportant meeting, it’s a futile attempt at me holding onto the person I was a few years ago. The son who doted on his family, the big brother who loved spending time with his little sister in between training and s
