MasukElenaI hadn't realized what they were planning when they switched seats.But in the few seconds I stood outside the car, my legs trembled, my breaths came in shallow gasps, and my heartbeat thundered so loudly it felt like it was trying to break free from my chest.Heat crawled beneath my skin.I was hanging by a thread.One more push, and I'd shatter.Then Ashton slipped into the back seat.Jax settled behind the wheel. Before I could react, Ashton gripped my hips, pulled me into the car, and settled me onto his lap. A soft gasp escaped me as he shut the door behind us.The engine roared to life.I barely had time to catch my breath before Ashton wrapped an arm around my waist, drawing me firmly against his chest. Without warning, his hand slid from my stomach to between my thighs."Oh my—"A soft moan slipped from my lips as his palm settled over my pussy through my panties. The touch was barely there, featherlight, yet it felt like ice against a burn, making every nerve in my body
ElenaJax's words hit me like a physical thing — and for a moment, the world simply stopped.The realization didn't creep in. It crashed. Settled into my bones with the weight of something I couldn't unfeel, couldn't unknow. My eyes snapped to Ashton first — just a fraction of a second — and what I saw there made my breath catch. His eyes had darkened. Not the slow simmer I'd noticed before. This was something deeper. Something dangerous.Then I looked at Jax.His were already past dark. Past anything I had a word for.And I was sitting in a car with both of them.A car. Moving. Going somewhere I didn't even know — and my body had already started betraying me in the worst, most devastating way possible. The scent of my own arousal hung thick and inescapable in the closed space between us, and the heat — the heat that hadn't fully broken through yet, that was still coiling and building beneath my skin like a storm that hadn't decided to destroy everything just yet — was getting harder
JaxAs her lips crashed against mine, hard and demanding, the dormant creature inside me—the one that had been clawing at its cage since the very beginning—nearly tore free right through the center of my chest.This wasn't one of Elena's usual kisses.This was something else entirely.The vixen sitting in my lap had grabbed me by the throat, and every savage part of me had practically purred at the challenge. Even so, there was a line she couldn't cross.She wasn't going to dominate me.A growl rumbled low in my chest as I forced my wolf back, but it wasn't enough. My claws slid out anyway, sharp and uncontrollable, and I buried them into her waist as I dragged her closer.Closer.Tighter.She didn't gasp.She didn't flinch.She didn't get nervous.If anything, her fingers tightened around my collar before she kissed me deeper, harder, as though she was trying to consume every breath I had left.There was something possessive about it.Something dangerous.The edge of it was razor-sha
ElenaWe'd all climbed into the car nearly half an hour ago. It was close to three in the morning now, the empty roads stretching endlessly beneath the headlights as darkness swallowed everything beyond them. Ashton had taken the wheel, effortlessly steering through the silent night, while Jax occupied the passenger seat—with me comfortably settled on his lap.To this moment, I still couldn't wrap my head around how we'd even managed to fit like this.The car had to be custom-built.There was simply too much room—far more than any normal vehicle should have. The seats were wider, the cabin more spacious, every inch designed with suspiciously generous proportions.And for some reason...That realization sparked an unexpected flicker of jealousy.I lazily threaded my fingers through Jax's dark hair, keeping my expression as casual as I could manage."So..." I began, drawing the word out, "is this car built with all this extra space because the two of you have had... similar adventures w
ElenaThey'd been the ones to put me to sleep.Curled safely in their arms, wrapped in their warmth, I'd drifted off without a single worry in the world.When I woke up...They were gone.I opened my eyes to an empty room.The bed still held the fading warmth their bodies had left behind, and their scent lingered everywhere, woven into the blankets, the pillows... even my own skin. I smelled so overwhelmingly like them that my own scent had disappeared entirely, buried beneath traces of cedarwood, spice, and something uniquely theirs.Slowly, I pushed myself upright, rubbing the lingering sleep from my eyes before running my fingers through my hopelessly messy hair.I already hated this.They weren't here.The silence felt strangely loud."Ashton? Jax?" I called, my voice still rough with sleep as I looked around the room.Nothing.No answer.Not even footsteps.A tiny frown tugged at my lips.I reluctantly swung my legs over the side of the bed, my body still pleasantly heavy with ex
ElenaSilence spread between us upon my words. None of us spoke. Neither Ashton nor Jax looked away from me, and with every passing second, that silence only grew heavier, settling against my chest until I could hear nothing but the frantic pounding of my own heart. I couldn't tell what they were thinking, couldn't read a single emotion from their faces, and just when I thought I'd made the biggest mistake of my life by confessing, Ashton suddenly grabbed my jaw and crashed his lips onto mine, hungry, impatient, and with something strangely raw hidden beneath every second of that kiss.My body didn't need a moment to rethink before I kissed him back instantly. My hands slipped into his hair on their own accord, pulling him impossibly closer as though I'd been waiting for this without even realizing it. His fingers tightened ever so slightly against my jaw, and the kiss only deepened until every coherent thought disappeared from my mind. He only pulled away after leaving me completely
ElenaThe moment the question left my mouth, a deadly silence stretched across the room. Neither of the twins said a word, but the visible tension in their bodies told me everything I needed to know.So I quickly added, “It’s okay if you’re not comfortable telling me yet.” I looked between them. “I
Elena “Brothers…”The word crashed through the room and suddenly everything froze. Not metaphorically—actually froze. Jax and Ashton went completely still beside me, their bodies locking so suddenly it felt unnatural. Neither of them moved, breathed, or even blinked. The atmosphere shifted instant
ElenaThe breakfast table was a graveyard of silence.No one spoke — except Mom, who never read a room in her life. She was going on about some dress, the price, the fabric, the color, completely oblivious to the weight pressing down on all of us.Then Dad's hands came down on the table like a verd
ElenaThe air in the room thickened almost instantly as I raised the locket in my trembling hand.Silence followed right after.Jax’s shoulders visibly tensed beside me while Ashton’s eyes darkened with something unreadable, something painful, and suddenly I couldn’t breathe properly anymore. Tears
