[Axel]
Kissing her sweetly, I set Rosalynd down on the edge of the bed. The sun is high, not quite evening, so we should have a couple more hours before the rest of the pack arrives.
Tonight, when we descend the stairs to join everyone, we will be a newly mated pair.
Despite all my big talk downstairs, my hands are shaking. I didn’t know I could feel so intensely until I met her.
Rosalynd leans back, breaking our kiss. She unbuttons her jeans and I help her slide out of them. She is completely bare from the waist down, not a scrap of fabric to hide her from me.
[Rosalynd] “Shouldn’t. We. Get. That.” I can barely speak as Axel takes me from behind, the sound of the phone ringing again punctuating his movements as our bodies slap together enthusiastically. “No,” he grunts. “Not a chance." His pace begins to quicken, becoming more demanding. "The boys. Promised. Uh. No. Calls. Tonight.” “Ahh…Axel,” he has me so close to going over the edge again. I want to enjoy it, but I have a feeling that this might be more important. “Ahh…Axel…we.ah.should.answer.it…ah damn! Axel! Ah!!” I release as he pours inside me again, finishing together. We haven’t stopped going at
[Rosalynd]I shake my head. We only just mated. I doubt he could have gotten me pregnant.But we also didn’t take any precautions.“I think I should probably go on birth control.” I say out loud to myself. “If it isn’t already too late.” I did not need to have a baby right now.“You probably should have thought of that before,” Willow muses. “But you were just too horny…”“Damn it, Willow! You aren’t helping.”She starts roll
[Axel]After completing a few sweeps of the grounds and not finding any signs of intruders, I rushed back to the house to get changed for the barbeque.By the time I returned, Rosalynd had already changed into the clothes and shoes that my father left for her, relics from my childhood that instantly bring back memories of my mother wearing these items to official pack functions. Seeing them on my mate makes my heart swell. It's like my mom is here with us too, approving of our union.When Rosie turns, the violet undertones of her gray eyes make them appear almost lavender as the purple lace dress draws attention to them. She has pulled her hair off her neck, using two pearl combs, putting her fresh mark on display, and from each ear dangles a matching teardrop earring. She is wearing a pair of my mother&
[Gideon] Damn it, Axel! Answer your phone!! I’m trying to keep my mind focused on the road ahead of me as it winds through the redwoods, but my mind keeps coming back to Rosalynd. She and Axel have no idea what is coming for them, no idea that something is even coming. We've been trying to contact them for the last three hours, but non once has he picked up and when we tried to leave a message, we discovered Axel’s voicemail box to be full. Rosalynd's phone service has been canceled, most likely by her mother. Not being able to reach them is making all of us anxious.
[Rosalynd] With her black hair piled on her head in long loose curls, wearing emeralds at her ears and a dark green dress, Alexa would look stunning if her face was not red and speckled with white dots of rage. “What are you telling my son?” she seethes. “Stay away from him, don’t talk to him, it is not your place to explain our mating rituals to him.” “You’re right,” I agree as I rise. She takes a long look at my mark, not so different from the scar on her own neck, and she hisses like a stray cat. “It isn’t.” “It’s your job,” Axe
[Axel] "No, you are not," I growl. Rosalynd places a hand on my arm, but no amount of soothing is going to keep me from fighting tooth and nail for my boy. "You do not get to come in here and..." "Actually," Alexa produces a piece of paper from her bag. "According to this court order, I am entitled to visitation rights. I'd rather we work something out between us," her eyes grow cold. "But I'm fine getting the courts involved." "Michael," I stare him down. At least he has enough sense to look ashamed of himself. "Are you going to go through with this? Why are you trying to steal my son?" "Axel I..." Reaching across the table I grab his collar. "Isn't it enough that you stole my wife out from under me, you need to take my kid too? Make your own damn son if you want one so much but you can't have mine!" "We can't!" Alexa shouts, her face red, her hands shaking. "We've tried. I...I can't get pregnant." "What do you mean," I look back and forth between the two of them. "You
[Evander] The darkness is complete. Blinking, the quality of light does not change as there simply is no light. My Fae eyes were designed to work in the faint moonlight under trees and there has never been a time when the light was so complete that I couldn't see at least an outline or a silhouette. But tonight, there is not even the smallest flickering of a candle. The sounds around me are calm, the slow drip of water, the sound of soft footsteps on earthen floors. There is a gentle murmuring just outside my range of hearing, muffled as if heard through several walls and doors, so far away as to not be discernible. Lying prone on my back, the feeling of fine silk under my fingertips is cool and smooth. As I move my legs, it creates the crisp rustling sound of fine silk fabric. The pillow underneath my head is soft with bits of solidity, not the even fluff of modern synthetic fibers, but the old familiar feel of goose down. Feather pillows give comfort like no other. Weigh me do
[Evander] "Get me my coat!" I leap from the bed. "I need to get back to the surface." "Brother," Burdock tries to get me to sit, but I hear him coming and grab his wrist, twisting. "That wasn't a request." [Gideon] “Is there no way we can get around this traffic?” Jasper whines, looking around at the carnage left in Slone's wake. “This sucks. I don’t want to stay here all afternoon. How are we going to help anyone from here?”
