LOGINMaya Definitely, something is wrong with me. I slowly shake my head, trying to clear away the thoughts clouding my mind.“What happened?” he asks softly.He tilts my chin up with his finger, forcing me to look at him. I meet his gaze, staring into those intense amber eyes. It feels like they’re peeling away every layer of me, like he wants to dig deep and uncover everything I’m trying so hard to hide.“Please… let me in,” he says gently, his voice almost a whisper.I just stare at him, my heart pounding. How do I even begin to tell him that I don’t want to get pregnant, that I completely lost myself in the moment, even knowing the risks of unprotected sex? How do I explain that I couldn’t resist him, no matter how much I tried?The words won’t come out.Instead, I do the only thing I can. I step forward into his outstretched arms.He doesn’t hesitate. It’s like he already knows what I need. He pulls me into his chest, wrapping his arms around me tightly, and I can’t help the way my b
Maya“Lucien…” I moan his name, my hips bucking against his face as the pleasure over me, are wild and exhilarating.He places his arms firmly over my abdomen, holding me down while his tongue continues its sinful magic between my thighs. He strokes, licks, nips, and sucks like he can’t get enough, like he wants to go deeper, like he’s devouring me completely. The way he moves his tongue feels like he’s fucking me with it, and I can’t think—can’t breathe—can’t do anything but feel.My fingers tangle in his hair as I whimper helplessly, my body trembling beneath him. I can feel the pressure building fast, tightening low in my stomach, coiling and coiling until it almost hurts.His tongue doesn’t stop.It only gets better.I’m so dangerously close to the edge.I squeeze my eyes shut, letting the sensation take over every part of me, letting it drown me completely… and then—He stops. The feeling disappears.My eyes snap open, my heart racing in confusion and frustration.Why did he s
“Hey, beautiful,” he says, staring deep into my eyes, and—goddess—I can’t look away.He has me completely hypnotized, and I can’t help but crave him more. These feelings are new, unfamiliar, yet overwhelming in the sweetest way. I don’t even understand when it all started, when he began to matter this much, but everything about this moment feels soft, intense… and dangerously addictive.Without warning, he captures my lips.I let out a soft gasp before I melted into him completely. He’s already stirring something deep inside me, something I can’t seem to control, and I give in without a fight, responding to him just as eagerly.My body shifts, uncomfortable in the position, so I move—hovering over him before settling onto his lap. He doesn’t hesitate. If anything, he pulls me closer, deepening the kiss like he’s been waiting for this.It’s overwhelming… in the best way.His hand finds my waist, holding me firmly in place as his lips move against mine with a hunger that sends heat rus
Maya And I stop right at the door, staring at them. Luca stands with his arms folded across his chest, looking like he has a thousand and one things to say but is forcing himself to stay calm. Lyra’s eyes are beaming with a mischievous smile, if there is anyone rooting for Lucien and me, it’s definitely her. Ava, on the other hand, has her eyes locked on mine, her eyebrows wiggling as if to say, ‘I know you have so much to spill.’I let out a shaky breath and give them a small wave.“Hi… I trust you’re all good?” Trying to sound casual as I walk into the room like nothing is wrong.Lyra doesn’t waste a second.“I told you to kiss Lucien the other day, but you shook your head and said you weren’t going to. And now you’re kissing him? Mum, seriously! You told us not to hide things, and now you’re doing exactly that—and keeping him away from us. That’s not fair, Mum.”I turn to look at Ava, hoping she has something else to add that might somehow help me out of this situation. But wai
MayaI’m completely drained, and I’m sure I must be reeking of him all over. The only rational thing to do is to leave the event right away, because, damn, my body still throbs with every thrill he made me feel. It stays in a way that is both exciting and dangerously inviting. He leans closer, his breath warm against my ear, sends a shiver down my spine. “There are so many things I want to do to you,” he whispers, his voice low and heavy with promise. It sounds like he’s trying to make up for all the years we were apart, like he wants to pour everything he’s held back into this moment. And honestly, I don’t even pick up my boyfriend’s calls anymore. Maybe I’ve completely lost my senses… or maybe I’m just that far gone, completely consumed by him.Then he pulls me closer, pressing me flush against his body, a smirk plays on his lips as he stares at me like he already knows the effect he has on me. I notice his hand moving slowly downward, and my breath catches. My body betrays me
Maya I stare at my mum, wondering what she is doing here at this event, and now I am starting to have a bad feeling about her. She is giving me the creeps.“Why are you here?” I ask, staring at her.“I was invited.”I wasn’t ready to have that talk about her with Lucien, but I know I should.“We should probably hang out sometime,” she says, then walks away, leaving me staring after her in confusion.I finish my business, wash my hands, fix my makeup, and step out of the restroom. I need to find Lucien.I walk through the hall and notice the balcony. In a strange way, it feels as if it is calling out to me. As I move closer, I see the outline of a man. His back is against me, but I don’t need to be told twice—I know exactly who he is. Lucien.With a goofy smile on my face, I stride toward him, my smile widening as he suddenly senses my presence and turns around. The smile that spreads across his face makes me feel giddy all over again, and I can’t help it as he fully turns to face me.
Maya I try my best to push my encounter with Lucien out of my mind, but it’s impossible. It’s so damn infuriating. For years, I stayed true to my promise not to think about him. Then, in just a few fleeting seconds, I see him—and suddenly he’s everywhere. In my thoughts. In my heart. In my soul. I
Maya The moment I leave the ballroom, I rush straight to my room. My chest feels tight, like I can’t breathe properly. I know he sensed something. I felt it the instant our eyes almost met. The pull is real. My heart races when I think about him. Lucien is still as good-looking as ever, but the l
Alice Goddess, I can’t believe my luck right now.I have craved him for as long as I can remember. He is a good man, a great leader, everything my soul sparks to. But every time I see him wrapped up in the memory of his dead mate, my heart caves in.I wish he were mine.I wish he were my mate.My
MayaBut strangely, I don’t feel threatened. Walking beside Lucien. It feels like having a shield made of fire and fury. Anyone who hates me can choke on their bitterness and burn in it. Every guard in the hallway bows as we pass. His aura is overwhelming, so powerful that only someone with Alpha
