BiancaThe moment I moved over and patted the bed, inviting Isaac to join me, his face paled as if he’d just seen a ghost. Then, like a switch had been flipped, the pout of his mouth dragged up into a smirk and he sauntered forward, tugging at the tie around his neck.“Bianca, darling, I didn’t know
Each piece of his body fit perfectly against mine. The crook of his hips fit snugly around mine, his arm draping comfortably in the dip of my waist. As he moved his head onto the pillow, I could feel the warm tickle of his breath against the back of my neck, raising goosebumps along my skin.Without
Bianca & IsaacBiancaMy eyes shot open at the feeling of Isaac’s hard member poking against my backside.An erection. He had an erection, and it was pressing firmly against me, even twitching slightly as he breathed.“Mm…” Isaac grumbled softly in sleep, nuzzling the back of my neck with his nose,
“Fine,” he said, turning on his heel. “I will.”…IsaacIsaac’s smile dropped the moment he turned his back on Bianca.What the hell was going on?Coffee. Isaac needed coffee.As he made his way to the hospital cafeteria, his groin aching uncomfortably as his erection faded, he grit his teeth and cu
BiancaI stood in the center of the room I’d chosen for the nursery.It was a modest-sized room, perhaps not large enough or grand enough for the future prince or princess of the Lycan kingdom, but I hadn’t chosen it for its size. I’d chosen it because of the large arched windows that faced east, al
I hesitated, taking the roll and unfurling a section of it to get a better look. Indeed, the pattern was incredibly pretty—a delicate floral design depicting yellow daffodils and white roses wound around one another, with tiny canaries flitting between the flowers, all laid against a subtle cream-co
Bianca & IsaacBiancaI stared at the now-empty doorway, my jaw slack and my eyes wide. But most of all, the pain I felt in my chest had begun to radiate outward, traveling down to my belly, my legs, the tips of my toes.Zelda stepped into my vision. “Are you okay?” she asked, looking concerned.I w
“Why are you crying?” Isaac set down his glass and took a step forward. His hands seemed to move toward me as if he wanted to cup my face, but then he dropped them again and furrowed his brow.“She’s crying because you told her her belly would get, and I quote, ‘huge’,” Zelda snarled. “Apologize. No
“What happened?” the doctor asked, jumping to her feet.“She fell into a pond,” Isaac explained as he set me on a cot. “She can’t swim. I pulled her out, but we need to make sure the baby’s okay.”The baby. Not me. But I was just glad to be alive, and that there was someone in my life who actually c
BiancaMy chest burned, screaming for air as the sunlight above grew dimmer with each passing second. The surface seemed impossibly far away now, wavering like a mirage as I sank further into the depths.And then, suddenly, I was seven years old again, my father’s hands gripping my shoulders as he s
It was the pregnancy hormones. It had to be the damn pregnancy hormones making me want this—making me want him—so badly that my skin felt like it was on fire wherever he touched me.But as his lips hovered just above mine, I knew I had to tell him the truth. I had to tell him before any kisses occur
BiancaThe walk from the palace to the gardens felt longer than usual, or maybe that was just because I kept second-guessing my decision to tell Isaac everything. But deep down, I knew I’d made the right choice. Isaac had given me every reason to trust him, and I couldn’t keep the truth from him any
Isaac’s eyes lit up. “That’s an excellent idea, Bianca. And if it means we can finally move past all this talk of flowers, I’m all for it.”For the next hour, Isaac and I worked together, selecting new decorations that matched the new flowers. But there was something… different between us. Despite t
BiancaI woke up slowly, still groggy from last night’s bout of sickness. The bed was warm and comfortable, but something felt off. My hands patted the empty space beside me. Isaac was gone.Sitting up, I rubbed my eyes and glanced around the room. No sign of him.For some reason, his absence unsett
Isaac studied my face for a long moment, and then that damn smirk tugged at the pout of his mouth again. “My, my. Bianca Ravenwood, you’re blushing.”I rolled my eyes even though I knew he was right. I could feel the heat undeniably pooling in my face.It wasn’t until we’d nearly reached the end of
BiancaOur last evening in Silvermist began with a tour of the village. Benjamin insisted we see the community before leaving, proudly leading us through the small town as the sun began its descent behind the snow-capped mountains.Despite the obvious economic hardships, the village was really charm
I froze, trying to extract myself without waking him. But it was too late—his eyes were already open, watching me with an amused expression.“Morning, darling,” he said, his voice low and rough with sleep. He made no move to let go.“Sorry,” I muttered, scooting back to my side of the bed. “I didn’t
