Cuddle Me, Alpha 08 A Transformation
Lauren, Xavier returned after a bit; by then, I had calmed down too. He had an apologetic look on his face, and I hoped he wouldn't bring it up because the atmosphere between us was already getting awkward. I had changed into the jeans and the shirt I wore on our way there, and he was surprised. "So quick?" he asked me, and I nodded. "You looked beautiful in all the dresses you tried on," he remarked, and I smiled at him. "My mother called to ensure I bring you along. She wants to introduce you to her friends," he said, and I frowned. I wasn't socialite material. I had objections, but knowing we were in a public place, I did not want to object. I will leave the talk for the car or when we get home. Xavier and I decided to leave shortly after that. He told the store manager to send the selected clothes to his house immediately before we left. Getting into the car, I knew it was safe to speak. The weather seemed to be coming, so he put up the convertible's roof, and we were in an
Cuddle Me, Alpha 09 At The Party
Lauren We went to the party in a limo. It was being held at the Ravenscroft Hotel. The biggest hotel in Riverbend and the most expensive too. There was a red carpet at the entrance, and the press was everywhere, making me nervous. Xavier squeezed my hand, reassuring me. I looked at him, trying to steady my breath, my heart beating fast in my chest like I was about to have an anxiety attack. "Breathe, Lauren; all that matters is just you and me. Forget about the crowd out there. I promise I won't leave your side. You have nothing to prove," He said, bringing my hand to his lips and kissing gently. His gesture calmed me a bit, assuring me I wasn't alone. "Breathe," he said, and I did as he had instructed, taking deep breaths. When I was ready, the door to the limo was opened; Xavier stepped out on his side and helped me out on his side. The light was blinding, and the camera's flash was so much. I managed to stand my ground, and he held on tightly; keeping me close to him, we mo
Cuddle Me, Alpha 10 Sure
Lauren Xavier took me to his mother, where she was deep in conversation with high-society women her age. I saw a woman resembling Luisa standing beside her, who did not seem to look friendly towards me. If she was indeed Luisa's relative, then there was no way she would like me. "Lauren, dear," Mrs Blackwood said, reaching for my hand. "Your husband finally allowed you to meet the family," She said, and I smiled at her. "I insisted," I said confidently, and she looked at Xavier, who nodded, acknowledging what I had said was true. She smiled and went on to introduce her friends to me. I was right about the woman I believed was related to Luisa; she was her mother. Shockingly she smiled at me when Mrs Balckwood introduced us. I knew it was for show. There was no way she would be happy that her daughter did not get to be Luna. I really did not understand the setting. However weird it seemed, it was now my cross to bear. Xavier was in a hurry to leave the place and made sure he
Cuddle Me, Alpha 11 A busy Morning
Xavier "Does it ever get better than this?" I thought to myself, lying beside Lauren. She was fast asleep in my arms, and I could not help but breathe her in. From the day I set my eyes on her, she had made my heart beat in a certain way, a rhythm I couldn't explain, a thing that only I understood, a rhythm that had become my secret. Her laughter, smiles, optimism and independence all intrigued me, showing qualities I longed for in a mate. Still, the world that divided us kept us apart. How could I dare to love her when everything was against us? Jax, my wolf, was fond of her, and he wanted to spend every breathing moment with Lauren, but I could feel his hurt that she could never know him. For the years we were in college, there were times when I wanted to seize the moment and cross the threshold, daring the worst to happen, but I didn't want to rob her of her innocence and safety. Ignorance in this regard was bliss, and she deserved to keep it. I tried to move on with my moth
Cuddle Me, Alpha 12 At Once
Xavier "Isn't there another way?" I asked Gilbert, and he just stared and contemplated what to tell me? "I do not want to have to deal with my father. You know how difficult it was for him to hand everything to me, and then this happened. He won't give it back. Ever heard of a broke Alpha before?" I asked, and Gilbert chuckled, knowing precisely what I meant. I did not know what I did to my old man to make him mistrust me this much, but the rift between my father and me was wide, and this whole Isabella thing had just made it wider. "Do not worry; I have you covered on that. I will include a hidden clause that requires him to hand the assets back to you when Isabella is out of your life; he is also required to make funds and resources available at your request during this period. I know he is your father, but you are alpha now; he can't reverse that. He will have no choice but to do as the contract states," he said, and I understood his angle. "Let me think about it and get back
Cuddle Me, Alpha 13 Home Alone
Lauren I woke up and discovered Xavier had left for the office. The time was ten in the morning. I had never slept in this late before. The value on the clock made me feel lazy all of a sudden. Sitting in bed, memories of the night I shared with Xavier flooded my mind, and heat rose to my cheeks. Had we just complicated things for ourselves? Xavier had introduced me to pleasures I was unaware of. If anyone had told me Xavier would be my first, I would have said it was a lie because I didn't think I was his type. I saw his type as sophisticated and bougie, all of which I wasn't. I was a simple girl raised in the countryside by regular people. Xavier had often teased me in the past, but nothing came close to the sexual tension he built up between us since we moved in together. As much as I would love to say I won't do it anymore, so it would be easy for me to let go when the time comes, I doubt I could stick to that conviction. Xavier undoubtedly had a hold on me, one I kne
Cuddle Me, Alpha 14 Night Out
Lauren Xavier was still in his office attire, meaning he had just arrived. He approached me where I stood, somewhat lost in thought. My reverie was for a second, and I doubted he noticed, but the moment he pulled me close to his body, I swallowed, not wanting to think of what he might be thinking. "Did you miss me?" he asked me, staring deep into my eyes, and I nodded without hesitation. I would have held my tongue, but how could I at this proximity? "Good, because all I could think of was you," he said and bent to kiss me on my lips. His kiss was gentle, but I wanted something rough. All the butterflies and dirty thoughts that had built up the entire day got me wanting more. I reached for his shirt, and he chuckled a bit, helping me take it off faster. I did not know what was coming over me, but I wasn't the same Lauren anymore. This Lauren was willing to explore with none other than Xavier. Our kiss was ferocious, and he carried me while I wrapped my legs around him
Cuddle Me, Alpha 15 I Am Alpha
Xavier Lauren surprised me at the club. She let herself go a bit and had some fun, too. I began to wonder if it were possible that she was tamed around me all these years. Seeing her that way was amazing, and I planned to cherish our moments together. Soren pissed me off a bit at the club. I somehow regretted inviting him. I knew exactly what was at stake with my behaviour, but I did not need him behaving like he did at the club. He made Lauren uncomfortable. I noticed her discomfort even though she did not ask, and I planned to address it. I also wondered what Landon discussed with Lauren when he called her. I couldn't ask Lauren because it would make me seem nosey or maybe even downright controlling and possessive. I just had to hope she would be willing to share. We returned home late in the night from the club and decided to head to bed. I noticed Lauren did not drink much, and I did not know if it was because of what happened to me at the Remington Hotel or because
