I Signed a Marriage Contract, Not a Love Triangle CHAPTER 63 — More But Less
Irene didn’t answer, but she didn’t pull back either.That was all Kael needed.His mouth found hers again. He pulled her closer and kissed her until she had to turn her face just enough to breathe.“Thought you hated me,” he said when his mouth brushed the corner of his mouth.“Well, I don’t like you.”“That is not what your body is saying.”Irene pulled back enough to glare at him.Kael’s eyes were blown wide and gold, but the arrogance was still there. Unfortunately, that only made her want to kiss him again.So she did.Irene’s hands went to his jacket, shoving it off his shoulders with clumsy urgency. He helped without breaking the kiss, shrugging out of it so it slid down his arms and hit the floor. The moment it was gone, she was climbing fully into his lap, knees bracketing his hips, the soft weight of her settling right over the hard line of his erection trapped under his jeans.Kael made a rough sound against her mouth and leaned back into the sofa cushions, spreading his th
I Signed a Marriage Contract, Not a Love Triangle CHAPTER 62 — Claimed
“What happened to you?”Kael stood outside Irene’s apartment, looking like he had run there.His hair was damp at the temples, his shirt clung to his chest, and his breathing was heavier than it should have been.He looked past her into the apartment. “Can I come in?”Irene should have said no. He had arrived after midnight without calling, and Kael showing up unexpectedly had never once improved her evening.Then his hand closed around the doorframe, hard enough that she saw the tendons stand out across his wrist.Something was wrong.Irene stepped aside. “Five minutes.”Kael entered without arguing over the time limit.Her apartment seemed smaller with him inside it. Kael had always taken up too much space, but here there was nowhere for all that height and heat to disappear into. He looked around once, taking in the kitchen, the worn sofa, and the stack of unopened mail on the table.Then he noticed the tank.Mr. Mustard had moved off his basking rock and was paddling toward the gl
I Signed a Marriage Contract, Not a Love Triangle CHAPTER 61— The Pack Problem
“They’re saying they won’t accept her.”Kael looked up from the phone in his hand.Rowe stood across from his desk, looking like he already knew Kael was going to make it worse.“Who?”“Enough of them that I stopped calling it gossip.”Kael set his phone down.Outside his office windows, the Moorwen estate stretched farther than most humans would have understood as belonging to one household. It was not one house. The main residence sat on the highest part of the land, but below it were the packhouses, working buildings, garages, training grounds, and homes scattered between tree lines and long stretches of open ground.People moved everywhere.Young wolves were finishing drills on the training field. Two trucks were unloading supplies near one of the lower buildings. A group had gathered outside a packhouse while somebody repaired part of the roof.All of it answered to him eventually.Every dispute people could not settle themselves, every security problem, every expense someone wan

Ares drew back just enough to look at her when Irene didn’t answer.Immediately, heat moved up her neck that felt stupidly obvious. She tried to pull her hand back on instinct. He didn’t let her. His grip stayed light but firm around her wrist.“Careful,” he murmured against her skin. “If you keep reacting like that, I’m going to assume you want me to be less polite.”Irene tried to collect herself.“I’m not—” she swallowed. “I’m just—” She stopped again because his tongue had dragged slowly along the length of her finger, and whatever she was about to say went blank.Ares’s mouth moved, and she felt the smile more than she saw it.“You were saying?”Irene glared at him. “You know exactly what you’re doing.”Her pulse was now arguing with every attempt she made to look unaffected.Then, slowly, Ares released her finger.Irene looked at his mouth. His eyes dropped to hers.He moved closer. His bare hand settled at her waist. She felt every finger through the thin fabric of her shirt. H
I Signed a Marriage Contract, Not a Love Triangle CHAPTER 59 — In the Dark
“I’m not locking myself in my room.”Ares stopped just inside the terrace doors.The estate had gone dark around them, though not completely. Somewhere farther down the hall, Lena had already lit the old wall sconces, and weak yellow light spread across the stone in uneven patches.Rain struck the windows hard enough that Irene glanced toward them.When she looked back, Ares was watching her with the faintest hint of amusement.“I did not tell you to lock yourself away for the rest of the night.”“You told me to find a room with a good lock and stay there.”“Until the danger passed.”“And how am I supposed to know when that is? Do I wait for someone to slide a note under the door?”His mouth curved. “Irene.”“What? I’m just saying, hiding isn’t really my thing.”“It is considerably safer than wandering the halls.”“I know.” She looked around the hallway. “I’ve spent most of my life doing the responsible thing. I’m getting a little tired of it.”Ares studied her for a moment then said,
I Signed a Marriage Contract, Not a Love Triangle CHAPTER 58 — The Storm Comes In
“Do vampires actually sleep?”Ares turned his head and looked at Irene.Irene had found him on the terrace just before dusk, standing at the railing while the sky over the estate turned darker by the minute. The storm had been on every weather report since morning. Heavy rain, strong winds, and possible power outages.Irene had spent two days at home trying not to think about the dream.It had not worked.Now she was back at the estate, standing beside one of the men who had been in it, and every time Ares looked at her for longer than necessary, her mind betrayed her.Now, she had come outside because she needed air. Instead, she had found Ares.“Of all the things you could ask me,” he said, “you chose to ask me about sleep.”Irene shrugged. “It’s been bothering me.”“That is a very human concern.”“Well, sleep is important to humans. And you’re always awake.”“Not always.”Irene leaned against the railing. “So you do sleep.”“Occasionally.”“How occasionally?”Ares gave her a faintl
