Se connecterLIANAMy trip wasn't nearly as fun as I'd planned, even though I was surrounded by the kind of friends I'd always wanted. A familiar feeling of loneliness started creeping back in, one I thought I'd finally gotten rid of.I tightened my grip on my phone, fighting the urge to call Thea.Why would I call her? What would I even say? She didn't deserve to hear from me after betraying me like that. How dare she fall in love with my father? How dare she be such a gold digger?I scoffed, tossing my phone onto the chair beside me before picking it up again a second later.I wasn't going to call her, not today, not ever."Liana! Liana!"A drop of cold water landed on my skin, making me shriek. I looked up to find my friends standing a few feet away, laughing as they splashed around in the ocean.They looked like they were having the time of their lives, their expensive swimsuits glistening under the afternoon sun. The beach was filled with people from wealthy families in our pack, and the soun
THEAThere were no words to explain how I felt at that moment. In one word, I was in heaven with this man.Rowan had taken me through different emotions, leaving me completely satisfied. This had to be my best night with him so far.My head rested on his chest as we lay together on the couch, neither of us speaking. I could hear his heartbeat, which was still faster than usual, and wondered why mine had already returned to normal.Our breathing was the only sound in the living room. We hadn't even made it to the bedroom before giving in to our desire for each other. That alone showed how badly we wanted this.I smiled against his chest, feeling content in his arms.If we hadn't already talked about our relationship, I would have asked him again what I meant to him. But he told me to give him time, and I agreed.The problem was that I wasn't sure he would give me a clear answer about our future.I had already decided that I wanted to spend the rest of my life with him. Why wouldn't I?
THEAHe muffled my scream with his mouth, kissing me hard while his fingers worked in and out of me, fast and slippery. My core burned hot and wet for him. I grabbed the front of his shirt as he sped up, my nails digging into the fabric.He broke the kiss, his eyes dark. “You’re so beautiful. So sweet.”Heat rushed to my cheeks. Before I could answer, he pulled his fingers free and turned his full attention lower. “Move up.”I shifted higher on the couch at once. He yanked my pants down, then my skirt, tossing both aside until I was bare from the waist down. Cool air touched wet skin. He spread my thighs wider and delivered three sharp slaps right against my core. I clenched hard and moaned, the sting melting into heat.He watched my face for a second, then looked back down and rubbed me slowly, circles growing firmer. The pace climbed until I was shaking. “Oh, moon...” The words tore out of me. I tried to stay quiet, but pleasure pushed tears to the edges of my eyes. I opened my leg
THEAMinutes later, we arrived at my house. I got out of the car, walked to the gate, then turned to Rowan and waved at him.I wanted to spend more time with him, especially at night, but I understood his situation with his daughter. I couldn't blame him for wanting to be there for her, even when I wished I could have him all to myself.I smiled at him and turned to the gate, ready to go inside.Then, he honked his car.I turned around, frowning slightly. What was he doing?He honked again, refusing to move until my security man began opening the gate. My eyes widened when Rowan drove towards it.I quickly stepped aside, watching as he drove past me. Was he staying with me tonight?Seriously?!A wide smile spread across my face, and my cheeks warmed with happiness. I hurried through the gate after him, eager to meet him inside.My security man closed the gate behind me while I walked towards the house. Rowan parked his car, switched off the engine, and stepped out.The moment he saw m
THEAYesterday with Rowan had been far more fun than I expected. He really took me out to celebrate my new position, and I enjoyed every single second of it. I had so much fun that I carried that light, happy mood straight into work today. Even though he didn't stay the night at my place, no matter how much I begged him to stay... he didn't accept. He insisted on heading back to the pack house because he didn't want to leave Liana there alone. Part of me wondered why he was being so overly protective of her lately, but I didn't let it bother me too much. After all, it wasn't like he was used to sleeping over at my apartment anyway.Besides, my first actual day on the job went really well. I worked closely with Rosa throughout the day, proving to her and to myself that I actually knew what I was doing. Liana didn't pop into my department once, either. I wasn't even sure why her name kept crossing my mind... it certainly wasn't because I wanted to see her face around here.By the tim
THEA"How far?" Omar’s voice pulled me out of my thoughts. I looked up at him, my expression instantly dropping into an apologetic grimace. He offered a slight, knowing nod, as if he already guessed the outcome before I even spoke... as if Rowan had any real right to dictate what I did or whom I spent my time with. "He didn't approve, right?" Omar asked, his tone easy despite the rejection. I let out a soft sigh. "I'm really sorry for keeping you waiting," I said, rubbing the back of my neck. "Maybe we can hang out another time...""There won't be a next time," a voice cold enough to freeze blood cut through the air. I looked towards the voice and saw Rowan. He was already fully dressed in his tailored jacket, his heavy leather suitcase held firmly in one hand. His grey eyes locked onto mine as he strode toward us, completely ignoring Omar’s polite greeting who left seconds shortly.I frowned, watching him with growing irritation. What was his problem? Was he seriously looking at
THEAA week.It had been a full week since I moved into my best friend’s house. A week since I had that encounter with her dad... since I’d been on my knees in his room, tasting him, losing myself in the sheer, overwhelming size of him.And since then? He had become a ghost.Rowan started hiding
ROWANBeing home today felt like the best thing that had ever happened to me, but it was also the scariest.When my daughter and her best friend walked into the house, I sensed them right away. Something about her friend hit me hard. Her scent drifted toward me, faint because she was an omega, but
THEAHe didn't wait for an answer... He pushed forward, sliding into my mouth. I gasped, a muffled sound of surprise, and immediately began to choke."I knew it. You can't take more than this," he smirked, though his voice was thick with need. He started to move his hips, a slow, punishing drive t
THEABut before Liana could drag me over to that huge dining table that could fit two whole families, I stopped her right there in the hallway."What?" She raised her brows at me, looking a bit confused.I pressed my hand against my stomach. "I'm feeling pressed. I need to use the bathroom," I said
