MasukBella woke slowly. A smile spread over her lips. She hadn’t felt that relaxed in a long time. She stretched in bed, moaning at the sensation of her muscles pulling taut. She opened her eyes to the white room again. The shades were up, and the bright sunlight filtered through the gauzy curtains.The blue was back combined with the white, giving the room an island look she loved. She guessed her current mood was happy, like the times she’d gone on vacation to her family’s home in the Caribbean. No wonder the room kept using a white and blue theme. Those were her room colors in their island home. She was starting to love the room. She’d never felt so relaxed in her life.Memories from the previous night rushed through her mind. She jerked to an upright position. Glancing down, she saw she was dressed in the same pajama shorts but had lost the robe at some point in the night.Trey. The smile on her lips grew wider. He’d been amazing. The kisses. The touching. The holy mother of dirty talk
“We have a problem,” Alyx said, pulling Karel into his office. He stopped at the view of his chair. His queen had sat in his seat. She’d looked damn perfect in it too.“What’s wrong?” Karel asked, looking around for the issue.“My queen.”Karel sighed.“You have to give Gerri time. She just got here, and the wolves are trailing her like she’s gonna pop a mate for them out of her ass.”Alyx grinned. He now understood the wolves’ desperation. Until Bella, he didn’t know how he’d go about finally finding a mate. Now, he wanted nothing to get in his way.“Let the wolves have their time with Gerri.”Karel lifted a curious brow.“Why? What do you know that I don’t?”Alyx laughed.“You sound like you did when we were kids.”“I know you, Alyx. You don’t ever smile this much. Not unless you’ve got something up your fur coat.”Alyx shook his head and advanced for his desk. He sat down. The lingering scent of Bella had stayed in the leather. He wouldn’t be able to work with her scent taunting hi
Bella moaned. Her body heated to degrees she never imagined. Trey plunged his tongue into her mouth and explored with the precision of a general. He sucked. He licked. He drove her mindless with his kisses.Passion sizzled between them. Explosive. Desperate. The sounds of her harsh breaths pounded in her ears. She couldn’t think straight if her life depended on it. All she knew was this giant of a man was kissing her like it was the end of the world, and he had to get his fill. Like she belonged to him. And she fucking loved it.She pulled back from their kiss, gasping for air. He licked and nibbled down her throat to the top of her breasts.“Trey,” she moaned. “Come inside.”He lifted his head and met her gaze. The gold in his eyes looked like molten fire.“Are you sure?”She hadn’t been this turned on in...ever.“Yes.”She flicked the knob and opened the door, all the while meeting his gaze. His features harsh with desire had her hormones doing the mambo.The lines of his face grew
Alyx knew he shouldn’t lie to his future queen. He knew it, but she was there with Gerri—there to help the matchmaker find him a wife. Well, too fucking bad. He wanted Bella, the assistant. And the best way to get her was to trick her to see him as a random male instead of the king.Was it wrong? Without a doubt. But he was still going to do it.Giving Bella his childhood nickname wasn’t the best way to start a relationship with her, but he already did it and wasn’t taking it back. The lion inside him pushed with a massive roar to claim his mate. She was the one. All it had taken was Gerri showing up for his mate to appear. He’d never live it down.Bella pulled back his chair and made herself comfortable on it.Seeing her in his seat did something to him. It cemented the fact that this was the woman. She was it. Even if her scent hadn’t immediately pulled his lion from sleep, her personality and wit transfixed him.“You just got to the castle with Gerri, didn’t you?” he asked, wanting
Bella woke with a start. Her heart raced, and she was sweaty, her clothes clinging to her body. She glanced down at the bedding. This wasn’t her room. Then she remembered. She was on another planet. Holy crap!The room lights brightened the moment she sat up. It was weird as hell to have a room adjusting to her moods and emotions.She wondered what the room would do if she got horny. Would a TV pop out of the walls showing a porn video and vibrators fall from the ceiling?She laughed at her own stupidity. Vibrators. Right. This was a more advanced planet. She bet the damn room would send her a man.There was no sense of time, and she couldn’t figure out how late it was. All she knew was that she was hungry and supposed to check out the library. She threw on a robe she found in the closet. It had an awesome monogram of her initials, along with a lion on it. She had no idea how Gerri had arranged for her to get monogrammed clothes in two days’ time.She threw on a pair of slippers and p
Alyx glanced at the men surrounding his dinner table. The wolves had shown up unexpectedly. They wanted to talk to him about giving them back the river territory, but he’d already assured the Dragos it was theirs.The Dragos were the dragon species inhabiting the south central part of the planet which bordered with the Ice Mountains.“Brecc and Eros,” Alyx sighed. “I can’t give you the White River.”The Alpha and Omega glanced at each other. Used to getting their way, they didn’t understand what his issue was with returning their river.“We’ve had the White River for a long time,” Brecc said.“I understand,” Alyx assured him. “But the Dragos are in need. They don’t have the ability to withstand the temperatures your people do. They are in hibernation until they find a mate for their leader. They need use of it.”Brecc frowned. His white hair floated over his shoulders and coupled with his white coat of fur; he appeared to be straight out of a blizzard.“We will share.”Alyx nodded.“T
