last update Fecha de publicación: 2026-09-22 23:14:46

Irene closed her mouth again, and this made Ares smile.

“Your body,” he whispered against her ear. “Your terms, my dear wife.”

Irene could feel his hand covering hers—cool, steady, and larger than her own. She closed her eyes.

He eased their joined hands under the waistband of her panties. The first touch of her own fingers against herself made her hips twitch. Ares guided her with the lightest pressure, moving her hand and never taking over.

Ares exhaled against her neck.

“There.” His voice ha

  • I Signed a Marriage Contract, Not a Love Triangle   CHAPTER 120 — Going Back

    “You don't have to come upstairs with me, you know.” Dorian looked at her, then at the apartment building behind her. “Irene, Lord Valcieri specifically asked me to accompany you.”Irene sighed and adjusted the strap of her bag.It had been two days since Kael's last visit to her new apartment, and she'd spent most of that time getting back into her usual routine.This afternoon, after finishing her shift at the café, she'd arranged to meet Dorian at her old apartment building.It was her first time returning since the attack.Two Valcieri guards stood a short distance away, waiting for Dorian's instructions.“Fine, you can come upstairs,” Irene said.Dorian glanced at the guards.“They'll remain outside the apartment.”“Thank you.”The building looked worse than Irene remembered.Part of the entrance had been boarded up, and there were construction materials stacked near the stairs. Someone had put protective sheets over the flooring, and the smell of fresh paint was strong enough t

  • I Signed a Marriage Contract, Not a Love Triangle   CHAPTER 119 — The Other Man

    Kael crossed the room in three strides.Irene barely had time to sit up before he was on the bed, dragging her into his lap so she straddled him. His hands locked on her hips. Even through his jeans and the thin cotton of her panties, she could feel how hard he already was.“Come here, mate.”He rolled up into her once, and a low sound left both of them at the same time.Up close like this, the differences between Kael and Ares were impossible to ignore. Kael was all solid muscle and heat, the dark ink of his full-sleeve tattoo shifting as his arms flexed around Irene. The lines continued across his chest and down his side, dense and black against skin that still carried a few fading bruises from the last fight. He grunted. “Now let’s get this out of the way.”When he shoved his jeans down just far enough, his cock sprang free—thick, heavy, and flushed dark, with veins standing out along the length of him.Irene’s eyes dropped for a second. She had seen him before, at the lodge, but

  • I Signed a Marriage Contract, Not a Love Triangle   CHAPTER 118 — Eff It

    “You don't look very impressed.”Irene turned from the kitchen counter to find Kael standing in the middle of her living room, looking around and annoyingly pleased with himself.“I'm impressed alright,” she said.It had been a week since Irene moved into her new apartment, and she was spending another of her scheduled days at home rather than at the Valcieri estate. She'd finally gotten used to the place, although she still occasionally opened the wrong kitchen drawer looking for utensils.Kael had shown up that evening, apparently to inspect what he'd bought her.The apartment was undeniably nicer than her old one. The living room was spacious, the furniture looked expensive, and the kitchen had appliances Irene was almost afraid to touch. Even the bathroom had a separate shower and bathtub.She'd never lived anywhere this nice before.“You've said that twice, and both times you've sounded bored. I expected a little more enthusiasm.”“Kael, I already thanked you for the apartment an

    Belle burst out laughing.Irene stared at the girl. “Excuse me?”“I mean physically,” she said, apparently seeing nothing wrong with the question. “Vampires are supposed to be way stronger than humans, right?”“Oh my God,” another girl cut in. “I’ve wondered about that too.”Irene set the water pitcher down. “I’m really not having this conversation.”“Does he bite you?”“I said I’m not having this conversation.”“Not even when you kiss?”Irene looked at Belle, who had both hands over her mouth now, which was completely useless because Irene could still hear her laughing.Another friend leaned across the table. “Does he sleep during the day?”“Yes. I think so. I’m not really sure.”That was the truth. Irene usually left the estate in the morning, and she had no idea what Ares did once she was gone. For all she knew, he went straight to bed. Or stayed awake doing whatever vampire lords did all day. She’d never actually asked.Then, suddenly, she remembered Ares had told her once that va

  • I Signed a Marriage Contract, Not a Love Triangle   CHAPTER 116 —Vampire Groupies

    “That's my sister over there. Irene!”Irene looked up from the espresso machine and immediately saw Belle was standing near the entrance with three young women Irene had never seen before. All three were looking directly at her, and one of them was already smiling and waving.It was another afternoon at the café, and Irene had been enjoying a relatively quiet shift until Belle decided to bring an audience.“Can you come here for a second?” Belle called.“I'm working.”“I know. Just for a minute.”Blythe, who was wiping down the counter beside her, glanced toward the entrance.“Wow. Belle finally lets her friends know you exist.” She took the milk pitcher from her. “Go. I’ve got this.”Irene reluctantly made her way toward the group.Belle immediately hooked an arm around hers.“Guys, this is Irene. My sister.”The three women greeted her with considerably more enthusiasm.“OMG! It's so nice to finally meet you!”“Belle's told us so much about you.”“You're even prettier in person.”Ir

  • I Signed a Marriage Contract, Not a Love Triangle   CHAPTER 115 — Back To Work

    “Are you sure you want to do this?”Irene looked at Dorian, who had asked her the same question twice since they left the estate.“Yes. And I'm starting to think you're hoping I'll change my mind.”“I wouldn't object if you did.”“Well, sorry to disappoint you.”Dorian glanced out the tinted window at the convenience store across the street.They had been parked there for almost five minutes. Irene was sitting in the back of a large black SUV with Dorian beside her, while four security personnel occupied the front and middle seats. Two more vehicles had accompanied them from the estate, which seemed excessive for someone whose biggest responsibility tonight was checking expiration dates on sandwiches.Then again, the last time she'd worked here, a vampire had walked in and called her livestock.So perhaps Ares had a point.“I understand wanting some normalcy after everything that's happened,” Dorian said. “But Lord Valcieri has made it clear that you don't need to work.
