Harley~

I strip my clothes piece by piece, and everything hits the floor as a thrill shoots through me. For a human, Ben is incredibly passionate and a little kinky. Upon entering my bedroom, I find him as naked as I now am, lying in my bed with a long-stemmed rose in his mouth. He threw back the sheet, revealing his already erect manhood.

Ben levels me with a heated gaze and strokes himself slowly. "I've got something for you."

"That I can see, big boy." No grass grows under my feet as I cross the room, take the rose from its mouth, give it a sniff, set the bud aside, and straddle him on my bed. "No handcuffs tonight, Mr. District Attorney?"

In a fast motion, I moved my hips, back and forth, rubbing my cilt and folds along his shaft and licking his lips. Ben's hot tongue enters my mouth and dances with mine. Before long, he has me wet as water and moaning his name as I submit my neck to him eagerly.

"We will have to use your set, detective, unless you want me to go out to the car."

"Outside is not the destination I have in mind for you!"

His chest makes a stable brace as I plant my hands there, push myself up, and toss my hair over my shoulder. Ben's hands find my ass, and he squeezes me before spreading my cheeks and running his fingers along my crack from top to bottom.

"Benjamin, are you trying to seduce me?"

"Harley, I am always trying to seduce you." He gave me a cocky wink.

Ben slides his hand between us. I raised my hips, and he guided his head to my core. One fast, deep movement took him into me because that's how Ben likes it! Now he's calling my name between our heated kisses while I am riding him like a broke horse, with such force that my tits are flopping up and down against my chest, causing me to moan.

Ben's hands come to meet them, and he cradles my breasts and teases my nipples between his fingers. With the support for the girls, I continue to drive him into me, greedily taking every inch he offers. Still, I want more. The wolf in me craves bigger, harder, faster, and I pursue the need for fulfillment.

When the impact of my orgasm surged within me, I felt my claws threatening to protrude from my skin as Rae tried to emerge. I'm pushing her back as I remove my hands from his chest and throw my head back as my eyes go black. That would be hard to explain. Ben turns me over, he pins my hands above my head, and slow strokes me as deep as he can go.

"Is this what you want?"

I wrap my legs around his waist and push down on his back, raising my hips into him. "No, harder!"

Ben starts faster and thrusts more forcefully as I wrap my arms around his neck and hold on. When his rhythm stops and his dick pulses within me, I tighten my core to let him ride out his pleasure. Ben likes that too; he groans as his cum runs down my asscrack. He collapses onto the mattress beside me, taking me into his arms.

"I have something else for you." Ben kisses my forehead.

"Already? You're an eager beaver tonight!"

"Maybe later."

He grins like the cat that ate the canary, leans over the bed, grabs his pants, and pulls a little black box out of the pocket. Oh, holy hell! My face lost its color as I recognized straightaway what it was. A deer caught in the headlights, fighting for its life, had nothing on me! He sits back up and opens the box.

"Harley Gibson, will you be my wife?"

With a blank face, I can only stare at Ben, looking between his face and the beautiful pear-shaped diamond he'd revealed. I opened my mouth, but nothing came out. Again, I closed it and swallowed hard, closing my eyes, trying to get a grip!

"Benjamin, I can't marry you."

"Why not, Harley? I love you, and I want to spend the rest of my life showing you how much."

"Ben, I don't return your love." He is now looking at me in disbelief, which makes it all the worse. "I never will, and it isn't you; it's me." In my case, the oldest cliché in the book is the truth.

"So you've been using me all this time? Did you believe you could further your career by sleeping with the commissioner's son? Is that it?"

"No, not at all, Ben."

Not knowing what else to do and hoping it would help, I got up from the bed, but I still feel as low as a snake's belly. Short of unleashing the beast within, there was nothing I could say or do to make this any better, and that was not an option. Instead, I drop my eyes to the floor.

"I am sorry, Ben."

"Not good enough, Harley, not this time!"

My bedside phone rang, and I realized my cell was in my pants on the living room floor. Since I have no life outside the department, I know who it is. Saved by the proverbial bell, I thought as I picked up the cordless receiver.

"Yeah, Captain."

"Harley, we have another floater, Santa Monica Pier. The call came in from a hysterical mother whose ten-year-old had found the body by the amusement park."

"I am on my way, Captain."

"Hurry, the press will be all over this."

The handset lands on my bed as I dash out of my bedroom to retrieve my clothes from the living room floor and head into the bathroom, turning on the shower.

"I have to go!" I said around the elastic hair tie I had in my mouth and, jumping in the shower, I washed, dried, and dressed quicker than I thought was possible. "Duty is calling, Ben, you know how it goes." Without another word, I head to the living room.

"If you leave now, Harley, I'll be gone when you come back."

I came back down the hall, fastening my shoulder harness and securing my Glock in place. "Ben, if this were another time and place, I would happily agree to be your wife, but it isn't."

    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

  • Bounty for the Lycan Princess ~Nichols~   Chapter~108~Coming full circle.

    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,

  • Bounty for the Lycan Princess ~Nichols~   Chapter~107~Home at last.

    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

  • Bounty for the Lycan Princess ~Nichols~   Chapter~106~Company's coming.

    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

  • Bounty for the Lycan Princess ~Nichols~   Chapter~105~Welcome home.

    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

    Harley~ My stomach flopped like a fish out of water, and my hands were shaking, so I buried them under my legs. Nick gives me a wink before he gets up and moves toward the door. Never could I have imagined my marking would take place in a hospital bed or without Rae. Being without my wolf feels

    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.

    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?"
