LOGINNicholas~
We sat for a while admiring the view. Long enough for me to realize I am just as hopeless as Zeek, and I can't seem to take my eyes off of Harley. The slightest move of her body is captivating to my senses; her smile is infectious and sends a strange pulse through my chest. Sitting back in my chair, I notice the way her eyes dance when she laughs. Hold up, wait a minute, I come upright like a scolded pup. The sudden urge to be close to her is both unexpected and unsettling. Getting a handle on the wave that just went through me would have to wait. Zeek snarled at the man, who was also human, coming in and approaching Harley at the bar. The female moves away, and I tune into Harley and the human. From what I am hearing, they were lovers; I am surprised by the jolt of jealousy that shot through my chest. We dislike his quick lean into her as he pushes away from the bar. Zeek hauls me to my feet and moves us toward them. The guy heads toward the exit, which is lucky for both of us, but Zeek doesn't stop. The closer we got, the stronger her scent became. I couldn't put a name to the warm combination of apple blossom and cinnamon she was emitting, other than 'yuuuummmm!' Our eyes locked, and I saw the slight darkness as her wolf pushed forward. I crossed the room and sat beside her at the bar without breaking eye contact. Her wolf and Zeek exchanged low growls. "What can I do for you, Alpha?" She asked and looked away from me, but I noticed how her fingers twitched on her glass. "You must have mistaken me for someone else." I moved on the barstool so my knees brushed against her thigh. The electrostatic burst of the contact sends chills down my spine. "I don't think so. Why don't you make it easy on us both and tell me what you are doing here?" She drank the last of her sunrise and leveled me with a no-shitting me allowed look. The draw between us is incredible; she feels it too. Her face reveals a lot, even though she’s trying to hide behind her bravado. I lean in closer to her. "I could ask you the same thing." She tosses her dark hair over her shoulder. A smile teases the corner of her mouth. "That's none of your business." "Fair enough. Let me see your wolf." "No," she bit her lip. My dick twitched in my jeans. "You want to get out of here?" The look on her face says she's caught between the devil and the deep blue sea. I can almost see the devil on her left and the angel on her right shoulder. Here, I hope hell wins out. "Don't worry, I don't bite. Much!" "Don't make promises you can't keep, Wolfman." She slid off the barstool. "Let's go!" I swipe the key card, and we get inside my hotel room. Harley throws herself into my chest, wraps her arms around my neck, and pulls me to her lips. Her kiss is as hot as fire. I switched our positions, pushing Harley's back against the wall and pulling her thigh over mine as I deepened the kiss. My hands roamed over her ass as hers went for the button of my jeans. I have never had this level of connection or desire with a female. No words were necessary; we both knew what we wanted. I scoop her up and carry her to the bed, settling her on my lap, pulling the T-shirt over her head, and kissing the exposed part of her breasts before removing her bra. Harley is tugging at my hemline. I lift my arms, and she unbuttons my shirt, slides it over my shoulder, and tosses it to the floor with hers. I set her aside on the bed and removed my jeans. She lies back on the bed with a wild spark in her eyes. "Fuck me, wolfman!" "I will definitely do that!" But not before I taste her apple pie, I crawl up the bed from the bottom, scooping her legs over my shoulders, and bury my face between her thighs. A low growl escaped me as I tasted her cum, lapping it from her opening like I was an inmate on death row enjoying my last meal. Her juices tingle inside my mouth as I make my way up her body. She seemed to enjoy her taste as well; her lips were puffy by the time she released mine. I pushed up from the bed, lifting her legs over her head onto my shoulders. She's got long legs, but I still have her in prime position as I pushed into her core hard and deep, damn it, she is so wet! Not meaning to, I am going at her hard, and she wants more. "Yes, wolfman, drive it like you own it!" Now, I have a tiger by the tail that doesn’t know me. Slowing down is also something I realize I need. As I drop her legs, she wraps them around me and returns my kiss. I'm drawn to her marking spot as I worked my to her neck, so I nibbled there before licking her earlobe. "My name is Nick." I pushed back up and picked up my pace. The feeling of her inner walls contracting around my shaft is unlike anything I have experienced during sex. She whimpers as she rides out her orgasm, still pushing her hips up into me. I let loose with a growl and a last thrust as soon as I collapsed onto the bed. Harley snuggles into my arms and lays her head on my chest. I've never really been a snugger, and my instinct is to pull away from her. Zeek's vicious growl changed my mind. Instead, I wrapped my arms around her tightly. If I'm to be honest with myself, I had to admit that holding Harley wasn't so bad. I could even get used to it. We pretend to be asleep a couple of hours later when she eases away from us and off the bed. 'She's leaving, stop her!' 'I know that, and the answer is no. If she wants to leave, we should let her go, Zeek.' 'They're our mates, Nick.' 'I know that too, but we can't force her either.'Harley~ Nick and Titus square off, two proud Alphas, neither to blink. As if it were part of the script, a nurse in crisp blue scrubs appeared in the doorway. Her voice cut through the tension as she told me it's my turn in the stirrups. The breath I'd been holding in a tight knot finally broke free, escaping my lips in a shaky exhale. Without a word, Nick's hand comes with a warm, firm weight on the small of my back, pivoting me away. We were almost out, but no, it wouldn't be that easy today. "This isn't over, Nick," Titus growled, the sound vibrating deep in his chest like a brewing storm. Ok, that's enough! His voice is making me itch and causing my heels to dig into the linoleum. "Alpha Titus, may I have a word?" Nick's fingers tightened around my hand, his pulse jumping against my skin. 'It's ok, Nick,' I leaned back against him, and he reluctantly let go. In the hallway's quiet, it's my turn to stand, the only ground I have. After tossing my dark locks over my s
Harley~ So this is the corner of the pack Delilah was haunting; that explains a lot. The air in Sean's hospital room was thick with her overpowering perfume, which made me nauseous. She was hovering over Sean, checking the various tubes and monitors. Her performance felt more practiced than genuine; Nick and I exchanged a glance a moment before she looked up. Seeing us, she froze, her breath hitching as she took a jagged, silent breath. Her pull back from Sean was a sudden, unnatural distancing from a mate. She's overdoing it trying to hide………my gaze goes to her hand as my brain slipped into chaos. She didn't have the ornate, silver-hinged ring on her right middle finger this morning. Pressure builds in my chest as Rae comes through the pieces still shifting in my head. 'Harley, something is deeply wrong here.' 'Red alert, Rae,' I murmured back. Ruby goes to her son's side, her fingers threading through Sean's limp, pale hand. She cast a sharp look toward Delilah; it was quick,
Nick~ Harley's gaze darts across the windshield, tracing the sharp architecture of Moon Hill Manor. It loomed ahead, a fortress of grey stone that seemed to consume the morning light. Memories hit hard; days gone by of Sean and me running through those halls, clueless. My throat tightens, and I try to swallow the forming boulder. "Nick, it's incredible," she says, placing a hand over her heart, her voice barely a breath. "That's one way to put it," I say, opening the driver's door to a crisp bite of mountain air. "I'm glad you like it." Before I'm fully out, Eason, my father's personal butler, is already exiting the manor. His polished dress shoes echoed on the stone steps in his haste. "Morning, Alpha," Eason says, voice immaculate as he takes hold of the door. "Your parents are waiting in the breakfast room." Harley waits, her eyes wide as she stares at Eason as I move to the passenger side. Opening the door, I offered her my arm and pulled her close to me. She leans
Harley~ The 4:00 AM silence was shattered when the first heavy blow struck the front door. Beside me, the mattress groaned, and so did Nick as he pulled away from me. He was on his feet instantly, charged, taking his heat with him and leaving the sheets cold. He pressed a dry, hurried kiss to my brow and muttered a low "Stay" that vibrated against my skin. Then he was gone, the rhythmic thud-thud of his bare heels retreating down the hallway. My brain was still thick with sleep until Rae's mental voice spiked, sharp in my ears. 'Harley, it's a woman. She's carrying a scent like scorched sugar, and it's aimed right at our mate.' The covers can't bind me, and my soles burned against the bedroom rug as I scrambled for traction. I nearly lost my balance before hitting the hardwood. In the living room, the air felt claustrophobic. A woman was there, her movements fluid and desperate as she tried to weld herself to Nick's chest. He didn't waver, his hands like stone pillars across
Harley~ Cedar planks, rough as bark, cut a jagged silhouette against a mountain bruised with the coming twilight's purple. My gaze darts constantly between windows, fighting to catch the panoramic view from every angle. It's both eerie and fascinating the way the mist coils around the thick trunks of the pines surrounding the cabin. When Nick pulls the passenger door open, the air hits my nose. Wonderful, sharp, yet thin, a breeze flows by, carrying with it just a hint of damp earth and crushed needles. Smog-free and a welcome breath, I try to inhale it all at once. Nick catches my hand; his palm is rough and familiar as he guides me from the car. After the second step, my attention immediately snagged on the wicker swing swaying back and forth. I'm seeing lazy mornings spent watching the sunrise from the oversized double-seater. Nick reaches above the door frame, his fingers dancing along the dusty ledge until they find the key. Inside, the space is austere and smells o
Nick~ Ian and Leonard's focus snapped to Harley the moment the elevator doors chimed open. She steps into the hum of the squad room beside Seth, just as Ben rounds the corner. Leonard's features sagged, his eyes resembling hollowed-out shells. In contrast, Ian's entire frame vibrated with a heat that drained the blood from his face. He thrashes against my hold, but his muscles betray him. "He's a fraud!" he howled, the sharp sound cutting through the air. "That's no federal agent; what you see before you is a beast! A werewolf!" Howard's voice boomed over the sudden silence to the officers. "Take these lunatics the hell outta here!" He scoffed, a dry, rattling sound. "Werewolves. Beautiful." He slammed a heavy palm against my shoulder blade; the force of it jolted my teeth. "Nice work, Agent." From my peripheral vision, I catch the frantic movement in Ben's eyes. Replaced by a sharp, predatory stillness. He doesn't just look at me; his gaze drags over my face. His eyes narrowed
Nick~ Given the pleasure this day started with, I should have known something was bound to happen to bring the pain. As the Mountainview gates opened, I stopped at the guardhouse, frowning, jaw tight, Zeek jolting me. The guard came out and stepped to the driver's door. "Is there a problem, sir?"
Kyle~ For quite some time now, I've been standing in the middle of Harley's bedroom without the first clue of what to bring her other than the basics. Becky's voice is high-pitched and fast when she calls for me, insisting that I return to the hospital. The beach bag from the bottom of Harley
Nick~ "Sorry, I forgot about calling you back, Kyle." I paused, but this would not get any easier. I took a heavy breath. "The police have confirmed that the stalker has Harley, only they don't know who he is yet." Kyle cursed profusely. "Does the name Steve mean anything?" "Yes, Steven Bala
Harley~ 'His name is Nick, and don't accept that I believe he will come back for us.' 'I wouldn't have him if he came back!' 'Sure, you're right, Ms. Patty Pillowcase.' My phone rings as I put the car in reverse; it's Belinda, and she tells me that my presence is required as soon as possible.
