Midnight On The Bayou 10
As I leaned in and softly kissed Knox, I felt a spark of attraction, a different kind of tension from what I had experienced with Kael. It wasn't as passionate, but it was undeniable.Kael's reaction to the kiss was visceral. A primal, almost pained growl ripped from his throat, a sound that seemed to tear through his very being. He abruptly stood up from his kneeling position, stumbling and landing heavily on his back on the floor with a thud.Scrambling backward, his back hitting the bed, Kael looked wild, his eyes darting, chest heaving. I rushed to him, grabbing his shoulders and forcing him to look at me. "Look, listen to me, Kael. I'm right here. Please calm down," I whispered, my voice steadying in the chaos.He finally managed to look at his brothers, who were similarly distressed, heads in their hands, breathing hard. "What the fuck was that? I can't even... what the fuck," he stammered, his defenses crumbling.In a slow, almost dazed motion, Kael scooted across the floor, po

Waking up the following day, I found Kael sitting up, his eyes fixed on me. I greeted him with a sleepy "Morning," to which he responded similarly. His look had an intensity that set me on edge, like something was troubling him. "What's up?" I asked."Nothing," he replied, but his eyes told a different story."Did you get any sleep?" I inquired, noting the weariness "Not really," he admitted.Sitting up fully, I reached for the bag with the phone inside. "I need to message Cassy and let her know I'm coming back today."He surprised me by saying, "She knows.""How?" "I called Mom this morning to let her know, and I could hear Cassy in the background. She's pretty worked up. I'm afraid she will insist on coming with us for the run, but..." He trailed off, seeming hesitant to continue. "I just think you might want it to be a bit more private.""Cassy has her wolf?" I asked, surprised."No, we've always carried her. Koda and Kage, too," Kael explained.The other two brothers began to s

Arriving at the training grounds where we planned to shift, I watched as the brothers began to undress without hesitation. I turned away, my cheeks burning with embarrassment.Ky's laughter broke the awkward silence. "You really didn't live with werewolves much, did you? Nudity isn't really a big deal to us," he teased.Internally, I protested, 'Well, it is to me, and if I see your bodies right now...'Kael's voice cut through my thoughts. "There's privacy in the water tent. I'll stand outside and won't shift until after you do. Will that make you feel better?" I nodded, grateful for the consideration, and he gently led me to the tent.Before releasing my arm, he leaned close, his lips near my ear, whispering, "Don't worry. No matter what happens, you are safe." The words sent shivers down my spine. I looked up into his eyes, now a shining blue, signaling his proximity to shifting.Inside the tent, I undressed, my heart pounding with fear and anticipation. I could feel the pull of my

I told Kyran I needed to talk to Kael, suggesting he and Knox return to the river. His mental sigh conveyed his reluctance. 'Skyla, if you start always trying to console him like this, it'll never end. I promise you.'Kyran's directness caught me off guard, starkly contrasting his usual demeanor. It dawned on me that he felt comfortable expressing these concerns because it was just the two of us communicating. 'I'm a big girl, Ky. I'll be okay,' I reassured him mentally before heading to the tent.Inside, Kael was sitting rigidly, fully clothed and human, his eyes fixed on the ground. I tried to communicate mentally, but he immediately cautioned, 'No, don't do that. It'll give us both nasty headaches. Only communicate human to wolf in emergencies.'Desperate to talk, I made the painful decision to shift back. The transformation was excruciating, each bone and muscle contorting back into human form. When it was over, I lay in the dirt, naked and vulnerable, looking up at Kael's concern

As we arrived back at the house, Cassy burst out. Her usual exuberance dimmed when she caught sight of our somber procession. I softly told her, "Not now, Cassy. Please, give us some time?" Her eyes drifted to Kael, leaning against Ky's truck, utterly defeated, head tilted skyward as he covered his eyes with his hands, taking deep, labored breaths.Perhaps seeking solace or normalcy, Knox wrapped his arm around my shoulders. But the touch felt wrong at the moment, too much when everything else was so raw. I shrugged it off and saw the hurt flash across his face."Don't overthink it, Knox... just... not now, okay?" I whispered, my voice barely audible.From the corner of my eye, I noticed Kael watching our interaction, peeking out from under his hand. His presence, consistently strong and commanding, now seemed fragile, on the verge of shattering.Knox sighed. "Yeah, I get it. Squeaky wheel and all..." He began to walk away, but in a blur of motion, Kael was suddenly on him, pinning hi

Walking into the pool house, I found myself in a spacious studio-like room. A bed was tucked into one corner, while a couch and sitting area occupied the center. The small kitchen was on the opposite side. It felt like a cozy, secluded haven, away from the chaos of the main house.Still damp, Kael flopped down on the couch and dried his hair with a towel. As he did, his muscles flexed visibly. His stomach, arms, his entire physique was on display. I couldn't help but notice, and I felt a surge of attraction that was hard to ignore.He peeked out from under the towel and caught me staring. His smile, knowing and a little teasing, sent a wave of heat through me. I flushed and quickly turned away, acutely aware of my heavy breathing and other signs of arousal. I realized that resisting Kael would be much more complicated than anticipated.I took a seat in a chair across from him. He stood up, walked over to the fridge, and returned with a bottle of wine. He poured two glasses and handed

As the waves of pleasure continued to wash over me, Kael's tongue didn't waver. He savored each moment, prolonging the ecstasy until, finally, the intensity began to subside. He crawled beside me once he was sure I had ridden out the last of the waves. He smiled, a playful glint in his eyes, as he leisurely licked my juices from his finger.I must have looked at him oddly, because he paused and said, "What? You taste good."The kiss that followed was intense and intimate, the strange sensation of tasting myself on his lips sparking a curious thought in my mind. "What do you taste like?" I asked, my hand venturing towards the pronounced bulge straining against his shorts.He caught my hand just as I began to explore further. "As much as I would love for you to continue, save that for next time, okay? I'm already on the edge," he said, his eyes filled with desire and barely contained restraint.In response, I playfully pushed him onto his back, climbing on top of him. "Why did you sta

As I stepped out of the poolhouse, the resonating sound of Kael's commanding voice filled the night air, echoing from the direction of the pavilion. The tone of his voice, once light and playful during what his brothers mockingly called a 'safety meeting,' was now heavy with the weight of leadership. The situation had lost all semblance of humor.I approached the pavilion quietly, lingering at the back for a moment. Kael's eyes found mine across the space, and I saw a subtle shift in his demeanor, slightly lessening the tension in his shoulders. It made me wonder if my presence could truly bring him any sense of relief or comfort.In a moment of unexpected boldness, I moved away from the shadows of the back and walked straight to the front, sitting at the table where Kael was orchestrating his plans. Maps and notes were strewn across the table, a tangible sign of the chaos he was trying to control.Kael paused mid-command, relief flooding his eyes as they met mine. A small smile flick
