I took a step toward her, but she took a step back. A smile pulls at the corner of my lips and she shivers when she sees it. She’s stuck between deciding if she should stand and fight, or take flight. The need to give chase runs through my veins. I want nothing more than to run after her. Don’t run, Ady. I won’t be able to help it if you run. I’m scared, Shane. Maybe that would be wise. Are you going to hurt me, Shane? That’s not the right question. I think the right question is: Do you want to hurt me? Do you want to hurt me? Yes, Princess. I do. Please don’t. Don’t do that. Don’t do what? Don’t beg. I like it too much. She shivered and I knew it was my words and not the cold that was having an effect on her. Before I knew what I was doing, before I could stop myself I was in front of her. There was only an inch between us. I lowered my chin, my eyes devouring every inch of her. The way her shoulders trembled, the way she shook with each intake of breath, the way her tongu
“Why would you want that? None of this make sense. The way you’ve been acting and this, it doesn’t add up,” she said. I tried and failed to settle Maximus. It wasn’t easy fighting my natural instincts, especially when the object of my obsession and desires was in my grasp. It became harder and harder to remember why we were waiting. Why wasn’t I taking what I wanted? I already know how this life plays out and the only thing I want is her. I want all of her. I’ve got her all to myself here. Devin is keeping an eye out and no one would know. No one would walk in right now, no one was here to take her away from me. Right now… she was mine. Let’s take her then. Right now, I couldn’t find an excuse to pull away. As if sensing my hesitation, as if she could see the turmoil playing out on my face, Adea took a step back. I hated the way she looked at me, as if I were a stranger, as if I were a monster. Who was I joking? I was a monster. She fell back and my arms shot forward. I pulled her
Shane I knew she was made for me. I just needed to make her see that before… Before. “Regardless. I will be your escort to the ball at Desert Moon,” I said. And if my hunch was right he was the Alpha of that pack. Every life had been the same. There had been some unavoidable event where they were pushed together, met, and fell hopelessly in love with each other. If I had to live another life watching him touch her, wrap his arms around her waist, and claim her I would kill them all. I would burn him and everyone in his pack down to the ground. Not this life. In this life, I would stop it all. I would keep it all from happening. Adea cried out and I realized I was holing on tightly to her, too tight. Instantly, I loosened my grip on her. I couldn’t live another life in his shadow, I couldn’t live through another life watching the two of them together. I needed her to know who she belonged to, even if it meant she hated me. I needed to scent her, only then would others stay away fr
“Shane,” she whispered. “Mm?” I hummed. Her tongue darted out and wet her bottom lip. I let her breast go with a pop. I lifted myself up to her lips. Her eyes locked on my lips and I leaned forward. “Yes, Princess?” I asked. “I…” She trailed off. Her pupils dilated and her eyes darkened. A jolt of electricity coursed through me as Adea leaned forward and pressed her lips to mine. The need to devour her overpowered me and the knowledge that she wanted this just as fucking badly freed the restraints that had previously held me back. My tongue darted between her lips as I took what I needed. I swallowed her gasp as I kissed her with seven lives worth of passion. I smiled when she closed her eyes and pressed her hands to my chest. She returned the kiss and her hands inched up to my shoulders and around my neck. I groaned as she returned the kiss with eager strokes of her tongue. My hand replaced where my mouth was. My Princess let out a needy moan as I rolled her nipple between my f
Adea The aftershocks of my orgasm caused my body to jerk with each flick of his tongue. I watched Shane’s head lift and drop as he continued to lick me. Now that I was coming down from the high, shyness was beginning to creep in. Kind of too late for that, but I couldn’t help it. My thigh rested on Shane’s head and my hand, I stared at his soft curls as they stuck out between my fingers. He pressed a kiss to my lips before he lifted my jeans from the floor. I watched him as I lowered my leg and stepped into them. When he stood to his feet, I couldn’t bring myself to look at him. A warm finger lifted my chin until my eyes met his. “Does it hurt?” Shane asked. I was caught off guard by his question. I don’t know what I expected him to say, but that wasn’t it. I swallow the lump in my throat, my cheeks hot as I slowly shook my head. I can’t even hate him because I wanted it. There was a minute when I could have left, but I didn’t. There was a time that he let me go, but I stayed rooted
“Whoever held you up… it looks like you had fun,” she purred. My cheeks heated and I looked outside the window. “I don’t know what you’re talking about,” I lied. “Sure,” Nikki said knowingly. “Have you been crying?” Mavy asked. Nikki hated it when we sat in the back. She said it made her feel like her chauffeur, but Mavy didn’t care. She reached across the space between us and looked at me closely. I didn’t miss the way worry etched her features. Slowly, I moved back and splashed a smile across my face. “No, it must be allergies,” I lied for the second time since I’ve gotten into this car. She looked at me with doubtful eyes, but leaned back and didn’t say more on the subject. Nikki backed up the car quickly. The tires screeched as she hit the break and I felt like I got whiplash. If we weren’t werewolves, I would fear for our lives. Instead, I only feared for Nikki’s, she was the only human in the car. She blasted the music and Breakfast by Dove Cameron almost blew my eardrums.
“Mavy and Adea, get off my couch,” Alpha Joshua’s firm voice ordered as he strode into the room. “Aren’t you two too old to be jumping on the couch?” It was obvious that he was trying hard not to smile as his eyes lit up. “You always spoil the fun Daddy,” Mavy grumbled. I bowed my head respectfully and giggled as I eyed Mavy. She stepped off the couch and crossed her arms like a child. Alpha Joshua hasn’t aged a single day since I got here. He pulls a box out from behind him as he walks over towards us. “I got you chocolates from the pack meeting. You could share them with Adea,” He said. “The ones I like?!” Mavy squealed. “The ones you like,” Alpha Joshua confirms. “I was wondering what snacks they would have at the meet. I love these meetings,” Mavy sighed as she grabbed it from him and ripped the lid off. When we were younger, Alpha Joshua would always bring back sweets and sometimes even food. The chocolates were our favorites. It has been awhile since he’s brought them and
“I’d appreciate it,” I said. I looked over my shoulder and gave her a fake smile. Gabe stares at me and I turn back to the sink. The rest of the evening goes on like any other night with Gabe singing to whatever is playing on his wireless speaker and Mavy laughing from the table. When all the food is prepared, I rest my hands on my waist. We made chicken, potatoes, and sauteed vegetables. “I think they’ll like it,” I said. “Of course they will. I made it. Everything I make tastes fucking amazing,” Gabe teased. “Mm,” I hummed as I set the table. “I’m sure it’ll taste as good as it smells,” Mavy assured. I gave Gabe a look and tried to make a quick escape. “You’re not going to stay for dinner?” Mavy asked. “No, I’m not really hungry. Going to bed early tonight. I… we have a long day ahead of us tomorrow,” I teased. “Okay. Bye! I’ll see you tomorrow,” Mavy said with a smile. I hugged Gabe and made my way out before anyone could show up for dinner. I wasn’t ready to see Shane again
