Anna Marie
Damn that pompous ass! -Awww, thinking of Mr. Hottie.-
Yes, she was. Not because she was attracted to him. -Are you sure, girlie?-
Why the hell does her conscience mock her? She should be on her side.
And why the hell did she dressed extra sexy today? Pft. Her outfit was perfectly fine, not that provocative at all. Her white skinny jeans and white tube top were perfect on a Saturday. It's the end of summer, so it was humid. Season's heat giving way to the breeze of Autumn.
"You going out like that, Rie?" Michael asked with raised brows. They were at the breakfast nook, enjoying the feast she prepared for them.
As promised, after cozying with the puppy pile on her bed, she got up early and cooked for everyone. Even fed her energetic nephews and niece.
"Leave the girl alone, baby." Alexie enticed him wit
LucasThis sultry woman before him was Anna Marie Greyson, the Lycan King's sister-in-law. The middle child amongst the three sisters.The eldest was the Lycan Queen, the youngest a Vampire King's beloved and this little chef before him -- she was his Argetlam, his Dragon Queen.If he had visited the royal pack during the mating ceremony, he would have made her his sooner.Circumstances had prevented that from happening. Nothing mattered anymore. Only her.He gritted his teeth, reminded of those hindrances. If the enemies will get ahold of the three sisters...That will not happen. Not to his Queen. Not to anyone of them.His friend Alexander was right. One will do anything for his queen."If you are worried I'll overwork your sister, I won't. She will only be working Tuesdays and Thursdays and part of Fridays. And a maxim
Anna MarieShe loved Saturdays. She goddamn do!It's a prelude to Sundays. Who wouldn't love a rest day?Why the heck was she nervous as hell to the point she recklessly nicked her fingers? Twice. That never happened before. Ever.Ballerinas will envy her in the kitchen if they see her movements when she cooked. She was as graceful as a swan in a lake. Flawless lines and all that shit.But not tonight.This insanely heavy bracelet hidden under her long-sleeved jacket felt like a commitment. To what? How the hell does she know?The idiot didn't bother to explain it to her before he held her hand hostage. -Hostage? Really, Rie?-Shit! There she goes again. Alright. She felt safe in his arms. Happy?Even the forced kiss...well it was not that bad. Not revolting, as she would have imagined. With
LucasThe velocity of his hard body met the wind from his extreme morning run through the dense forest bordering the Lycan Pack from his.And by run. He meant 2700 mph -- one hundred times the speed of the fastest human. No one can compete with the Vampire King though, he can outrun them all. That fucker rivals the speed of light.Lucas had to exorcise this frustration in his body and he had to see his Argetlam. The day won't be complete without getting a glimpse of her. Possibly spend time in her company.Human mates were different. Though they felt the bond and instant attraction. Their instinct was to question it.If Anna Marie was a Were or a supernatural species, they would be romping in bed on a Sunday morning. -I think.-Not so sure about that anymore. She wanted hi
TRIGGER WARNINGPLEASE BE GUIDEDVoices. Those fucking voices. How to get rid of them? He had been hurting people for two years because of those voices.Eerie and creepy. They commanded me. Like a slave, he obeyed. His wolf has weakened and he couldn't feel him anymore.Today had made it worst. He wanted HER. From the moment he saw her, the thoughts of waiting for his fated mate left his mind.The Moon Goddess had not blessed him with the gift. So why bother?Many women had graced his bed but he could never get over his obsession with Anna Marie.Last night...last night it was her he imagined when he fucked the slut."Ahhhhh!" He hurled his plate on the wall. Smashing it to pieces.Now, she was out of his reach. Fuck the Dragon King! Fuck his Lycan King!He didn't care if they kicked him out of the pa
LucasThe sound of the birds chirping at the open terrace and the sweet morning air has slowly woken him up from his very satisfactory slumber.And one more thing. He was happy. Very very happy.Sleepy hazel eyes surveyed the familiar room. All was well and dandy.His dragon beast was content too, almost purring inside his head. Good. He had been a pest for years.-Same to you, human.-You would never let me have the last word, eh?He went quiet. Lucas guessed that answered his own question.Nothing and no one could ever dispel his good mood today.His sexy Argetlam slept soundly in his arms. Steamy air steadily caressed his bare chest, her soft cheek on his firm muscles.God. This should be a permanent occurrence. After last night she would welcome his company moving for
Anna MarieLucas was not beside her when she woke up. He didn't show up to drive her to work either.A twinge of disappointment bloomed in her heart but she knew he couldn't always be by her side. He was a Dragon King for Christ's sake! She was sure his realm needed him more than she does.His note and flower made up for his absence and his masculine musky scent had calmed her.Last night...Goddess. She did it.For the first time, she slept with a man. They didn't do anything, except cuddle and hug but it was satisfying. She had to admit she had doubts at first when she saw his chiseled and perfect body in his drawstring, however, it was all dissolves by how he was gentle with her. Combing her brown hair with his fingers and caressing her back soothingly until she fell asleep.Could they do it again tonight? Maybe in his bed? Nah. Too soon.
LucasDamn shit! He shouldn't have told her. Now, he could see the determination in her velvet eyes."I want to be part of the investigation." His beautiful rider tilted her head up. He admired her courage. He did. However, the answer was NO. He would never put her in danger."No," they didn't know the whole facts and they had no idea who they were dealing with. One thing was for sure though. The suspect was supernatural."She is my friend and employee. I have the right to be there for her family." God! He was too tired to argue in the middle of the night, besides he had missed her.Anna Marie was getting a lot of concessions lately. How to say no?"Okay. But the moment it gets dangerous, I will send you home." Damn! She had him wrapped around her pinky. Her eyes brightened and she nodded. He groaned from the arousal shooting through him in an ins
Anna MarieLucas made good on his promise. When she woke up, breakfast was ready. His broad and muscled back comfortably leaning on the headboard while he waited for her -- her head on his lap as he finger-combed her tangled brown hair. She gazed at him dreamily.It's the first time someone has taken care of her. Usually, she had to wake up early to cook a breakfast buffet for everyone.After a soft good morning kiss, he served her a plate at the elegant table set up on her veranda that overlooked the gardens. In between their plates, there were fresh-picked flowers on a crystal vase.Maybe she had been too harsh to judge Lucas.She must confess, she enjoyed his company. No pressure. They used the time to get to know each other. He told her everything about his family while she gave him a bland version of hers. Praying he wouldn't probe too much. Especially her past. She w
