He stands, pulling me to my feet. The tea cup falls from my lap and lands on the carpet, forgotten. He backs me up against the wall, his body pressing against mine, his hands on my hips, his mouth hovering inches from my ear.

"You have no idea how long I've wanted to hear you say that," he growls.

"You've known me

  • Bite my Tongue   Aftermath

    Back in Emery's room, I tuck her into the princess bed and smooth her tangled hair. Sir Fluffington is positioned on the pillow beside her, his glassy eyes staring at the ceiling."What was your bad dream about?" I ask.She is quiet for a moment. Then, in a small voice: "The water. The cold water from before."My heart cracks. "Oh, Em.""You said we were going swimming. But it was so cold. And then you were crying, a

  • Bite my Tongue   Interruption

    He stands, pulling me to my feet. The tea cup falls from my lap and lands on the carpet, forgotten. He backs me up against the wall, his body pressing against mine, his hands on my hips, his mouth hovering inches from my ear."You have no idea how long I've wanted to hear you say that," he growls."You've known me for three days.""Three very long days."I laugh—an actual laugh, startled out of me by the absurdity of it. He pulls back, his eyes searching my face, and something in his expression softens."There she is," he murmurs. "The girl who threw a pillow at my head."

  • Bite my Tongue   Scenting

    He leans forward slowly, giving me time to pull away. When I do not, he tilts his head and presses his cheek to mine. The contact is feather-light, barely there, but it sends a cascade of sensation through my body. His scent wraps around me—cedar and steel and that electric charge—and my Omega instincts surge up from the depths where I have buried them.I gasp. My hands grip the arms of the chair."Easy," he murmurs against my ear. "Breathe through it."He rubs his cheek against mine, marking me with his scent. It is not sexual. Not yet. It is grounding, calming, like a weighted blanket on a nervous system that has been on fire for days. The bond hums in my chest, louder and louder, and for the first time since I signed the contract, the hum feels almost peaceful."There," he says, pulling back slightly. "Better?"I nod. My voice has abandoned me.His eyes search my face. The sharp lines of his jaw are illuminated by the dim city light filtering through the windows. His lashes are lon

  • Bite my Tongue   Kneeling

    He nods and steps back, giving me space. He gestures to the couch. "Sit. I'll make tea."I sit. He makes tea. The heat burns inside me, but for the first time in days, I don't feel like I'm drowning.Maybe that's the scariest part. Not the burning. Not the ache between my legs or the way my skin feels like it's been stretched too tight over my bones. The scariest part is that when he's near me, the drowning stops. The screaming in my head goes quiet. The bond stops feeling like a chain and starts feeling like a lifeline.I don't want a lifeline. I've never needed one before.The kitchen is silent except for the soft clink of porcelain and the whistle of the kettle. I w

  • Bite my Tongue   The Tide and the Anchor

    That night, I dream of drowning.Not in water. In tide. A great, dark tide that pulls me under and spins me around and drags me toward something I cannot see. The current is too strong to fight. I kick and claw and scream, but the tide does not care. It pulls me down, down, down, and just when I think I will never breathe again, I feel hands on my body. Strong hands. Familiar hands. The hands of the Alpha who marked me.I wake with a gasp, my body on fire, my sheets soaked with sweat.The clock on the nightstand says three in the morning. The penthouse is silent. Emery is asleep. Mrs. Hartley is off-duty. And somewhere in this building, Kael Draven is sleeping—or not sleeping—and I can feel him through the bond like a presence in the dark

  • Bite my Tongue   The Gilded Cage

    The penthouse is nothing like I expected.I thought it would be cold. Sterile. A concrete box with expensive furniture and no soul. But it is worse than that. It is beautiful.The elevator opens directly into the main living space—a vast, open room with floor-to-ceiling windows that show the entire city sprawled below like a glittering carpet. The floors are dark wood. The furniture is sleek and modern, all clean lines and neutral tones. A staircase curves up to a second level. The kitchen gleams with marble and chrome. Everything is spotless. Everything is perfect. Everything smells like him.I step out of the elevator, and the scent hits me like a wave. Cedar and steel and that electric charge, the one that makes the hair

  • Bite my Tongue   The Only Reason

    ArielleLife has never been easy or good to me.That's not me feeling sorry for myself. That's just the truth. Some people are born into warmth—into mothers who smell like vanilla and fathers who lift them onto their shoulders and houses where the floors don't creak and the windows let in sunlight.

  • Bite my Tongue   The Hallway

    The room was spinning.Not the slow, gentle spin of a few drinks. This was the kind of spin that told me I'd made a mistake three glasses ago and kept going anyway. My back pressed against something solid—a wall? A door? I couldn't tell. Everything was warm and blurry and wrong.But then I smelled

  • Bite my Tongue   The Rusty Nail

    I wait.The hours crawl past. Mrs. Delgado brings Emery home. I tell her I'm tired from work. I make dinner—macaroni and cheese, the powder clumping because I forgot to stir it. Emery eats hers with enthusiasm. I push mine around the bowl and pretend to take bites when she looks at me."Riri?" She

  • Bite my Tongue   Collateral

    I turn the corner onto our street, and that's when I see them.Huge men in suits. Three of them. Standing outside my apartment door like they own the place. Their shoulders fill the narrow hallway, blocking the light from the bare bulb overhead. One of them is an Alpha—I can tell by the way the oth
