Mag-log inDARIUS’S POV
For someone who looked like she was about to start a fight just a few minutes ago, she sure knew how to melt into my kiss.
My tongue surged into her mouth, battling with hers. There was nothing gentle about it—just me asserting my dominance. I needed to remind her exactly where she belonged for the past year.
We were in the hallway, and I knew anyone could pass by, but I couldn’t bring myself to care. Not when heat blazed through me, a primal pull forcing me to her as she rubbed her body against mine, her chest pressing into my suit jacket.
“Darius… not here…” she pulled away, her breathing harsh as she gripped my jacket in her hands.
I groaned against her lips, glancing around before my eyes fixed onto the nearest door. It was a simple door that looked like exactly where I needed to drag her right now.
“What’s in there?” I demanded.
Her gaze slid to the door. “It’s a storage room. It’s been empty for a while, but the servants clean it every day and—”
I didn’t wait to hear the rest. I dragged her into it, barely letting her back hit the wall before my lips found hers again, sucking her lower lip into my mouth as I deepened the kiss.
She moaned against me as I ground my hips against hers. I pushed my knees between her legs, rubbing my hardening length against her thighs. “Feel that, Iris? That’s what you fucking do. That’s what you’ve always done to me.” The words tangled into moans that went straight to my core, making my erection pulse even harder.
Fuckkk, I need this. I need her.
My hand closed around her neck, firmly but gently cutting off her air supply as I pulled her gown up with my other hand, my fingers pulling her panties aside as I felt her.
She was soaking wet, already ready for me.
Wet, slick sounds filled the tiny room as I pressed one finger into her. Then another. Then three. I pumped them into her slowly, taking pleasure in the shaky moans and gasps that escaped her.
Her core clenched hard around my fingers as I curled them inside her, hitting that perfect spot that made her vision swim. Her body twitched and shuddered against mine, her breasts pressing into my chest as she kissed me back deeply. “D-Darius… Alpha Wolfe… Please…”
I growled against her lips, loving the way she called me Alpha Wolfe. It was formal and respectful, yet it held the hint of submission that always drove me wild.
I added another finger, stretching her out as I worked her with my hand. “Shh…” I whispered against her mouth, “Just take my fingers like a good girl. You’ll take my cock just as well, huh?” My thumb pressed against her clit, rubbing circles as I fisted her roughly.
The sound of the wet movements amplified in the small room, her fluids coating my wrist.
Her eyes rolled back as she came hard on my fingers, her pussy gripping and milking them.
Before she could even catch her breath, I pulled my fingers out and lifted her up suddenly. “Oh fuck, you’re dripping,” I groaned, looking at her swollen, red pussy coated in her juices. Mine. Pulling down my pants, I quickly exposed my erection, rubbing the head of my cock against her entrance teasingly, soaking myself in her wetness.
This is wrong. But when did I ever care about right or wrong when it came to her?
“Put your legs around my waist,” I ordered gruffly, holding her up easily. As soon as she wrapped her legs around me, I thrust deep into her soaked pussy in one smooth motion. “Fuck, yes…so warm….”
She moaned loudly, her head falling back against the wall as I started to pound into her relentlessly. My cock hit every spot inside her, filling her completely. “Darius…” She whimpered, gripping my shoulders tightly.
“Shh, you can take it,” I growled, grabbing her thighs and spreading them wider to go deeper. The small room reverberated with the sounds of our coupling—wet slaps and her desperate moans.
I leaned down to bite her neck hard, a swift mark of possession, my hips hammering against hers.
As I continued to fuck her brutally, my cock swelled at the base, my knot forming rapidly inside her. She gasped sharply as it locked us together, stretching her more than before. “There it is,” I growled possessively against her ear.
“Fuck, fuck, fuck, no..yes…” She panted as the knot expanded fully inside her.
I started shallow thrusts, using the knot to stretch her open and deep instead of pounding. Each slow movement made her whimper and squirm. The new rhythm rubbed the knot against her sensitive spot perfectly. “Darius…”
“Yes pretty thing… feel that? Me filling you up in your pack when I’m supposed to marry another?” I whispered, pulling her into a deep kiss as I slowly pumped the knot into her sopping cunt.
My hands squeezed her ass possessively, holding her trapped on my length. The knot pulsed inside her slowly, mimicking a powerful heartbeat against her walls.
She nodded helplessly against my mouth, her body trembling. I kissed her roughly, my hand sliding up to grip her throat lightly. “Take it…” I commanded between kisses.
“Fuck…yes,” She whimpered and nodded, trying to breathe through the intense pleasure. I broke the kiss to look into her eyes, my thumb pressing against her windpipe lightly.
“Look at me,” I demanded softly but firmly. Her eyes fluttered open, glazed over with pleasure and submission.
I started to thrust the knot deeper and slower, hitting a spot inside her that made her eyes roll back. “Good girl… Just feel it,” I praised, my gaze dark as I pulled my cock out slightly and slammed back in.
“Fuck!” Her body shook violently as the knot hit that spot repeatedly. She was completely lost, her hands gripping my arms desperately.
Tears pricked at the corners of her eyes from the pleasure and the light choking. I leaned down to kiss those tears away gently while continuing the slow, deep thrusts.
Without breaking the gentle kiss, I suddenly snapped my hips forward, slamming the knot against her most sensitive spot with brutal force. She cried out into my mouth, her body convulsing as I began to fuck her hard and fast, the knot providing a constant, intense stimulation.
I fucked her so hard the sounds of skin meeting resounded. My balls slapped against her ass with every thrust and the knot swelled even bigger inside her, pulsing wildly against her sensitive walls.
She screamed and moaned loudly, her fluids squirting all over the knot and my cock. “Fuck—I’m—”
“That’s it… come all over my dick,” I growled against her lips between brutal thrusts. Her body convulsed violently as she peaked again and again—her orgasms triggered by each punishing slam.
Suddenly, loud voices sounded outside the storage room door. Her eyes widened, clearing with instant panic.
She was going to try to speak. Without waiting, my hand slammed onto her mouth, muffling her words as I pounded into her with slow, sharp thrusts to reduce the noise of skin hitting skin.
“Mhmh,” she struggled with me, but I held her tight, knowing people were outside.
“Have you seen Alpha Darius yet?” A muffled voice outside asked another.
Shit. They were looking for me.
I silenced her completely with my hand, pushing my fingers between her lips.
I felt her core clamp down on my knot as she tried to push it out, her body tensing. “Darius…” She groaned against my hand.
“Too bad,” I whispered darkly, ramming deep into her.
Stars seemed to explode behind her eyes as I snapped my hips forward brutally, the knot swelling to its maximum size and locking us together. She went limp in my arms, completely overwhelmed.
I held her still for a second before letting her slide to her feet, aware that her knees were weak. “You okay?” I asked, a routine question.
Her breathing was harsh. “What do you think?”
I grinned, tucking myself back in. “You’re leaking my cum, Iris. We’re going to have a hell of a time.”
I kissed her temple gently. Her eyes were barely open, still recovering from the intense pleasure, as I slipped back out into the hallway.
What kind of fun did I think we were going to have?
And most importantly, why did I find myself looking forward to any type of fun when I was going to get married to her sister?
Fuck, what exactly was I setting myself up for?
I was lost in my thoughts, still trying to adjust the zip of my pants as I walked quickly down the hall. My eyes lifted and my legs froze, stopping dead in their tracks as I met eye to eye with the last person I needed to see right now.
DARIUS’S POVThe vault still reeked of metal and dead sea, but right then it might as well have been another planet. All I could focus on was Iris—her pulse hammering under my thumb, her skin slick and fever-hot against mine. The papers were sprawled across the desk like drunk witnesses to a crime, but they didn’t matter. Nothing mattered except the way she was looking at me, eyes dark and wrecked, like I was the only thing keeping her from flying apart.I had her pinned to the edge of the desk, my weight pressing her down, keeping her right here in this fucked-up moment. Whatever corporate armor we used to wear had been shredded days ago. Now it was just skin on skin, breath on breath, and this low, gnawing ache that got worse every time she said my name like a plea.“We have to move, Darius,” she whispered. Her fingers were knotted in my hair though, yanking me back down like she didn’t mean a word of it. “The files… if we don’t upload the scans now, he’ll bury us before the sun eve
RIS’S POVThis basement didn’t feel sacred. It felt like a damp metal box someone shoved forgotten crimes into and hoped the tide would take care of the smell. Salt, old engine grease, rust. The so-called vault was just reinforced steel walls and a keypad that looked like it had seen more shady deals than confessions. No creepy old man waiting in a velvet chair. No dramatic throne. Just silence so thick my own heartbeat sounded like it was trying to escape my skull.Darius stood right behind me, close enough that his hand on my hip felt like the only thing keeping me from floating apart. He was still wired from last night, chest rising and falling too hard, skin throwing off heat like the cold down here was a personal insult. Every accidental brush of his body against mine sent a live current straight through me. Not some mystical resonance bullshit. Just plain, filthy want. The kind that makes your thighs clench without permission.“The code’s gotta be the merger date,” I whispered,
DARIUS’S POVThe shipyard looked like God got bored and decided to leave the bones of an old empire lying around to rust. Twisted iron, salt-eaten concrete, the whole place smelled like failure and low tide. Rain hammered down in cold, spiteful sheets, washing away whatever cozy bullshit we’d had back at the brownstone. I kept my hand pressed low on Iris’s back, fingers splayed wide, steering her through the graveyard of shipping containers and splintered wood like she might vanish if I let go.My skin felt stretched too tight over bone. The raw serum had mostly burned out of my system, but it left this low, grinding hunger behind my teeth, like I’d bitten into something alive and it was still twitching. I wasn’t the monster anymore. Not really. But the closer we got to the coordinates on that damn map, the more the Bond started screaming inside my chest. Not the usual horny buzz. This was different. This was a tripwire pulled tight, waiting to snap.“The foundation’s under the old dr
Iris’s povThe purge notification sat on the screen like a digital death warrant, the neon green text bleeding into the shadows of the room.I felt Darius’s body go rigid against mine, the warmth of the last ten minutes cooling into a hard, protective casing. The air in the brownstone, which had felt so thick with the scent of us, suddenly tasted like ozone again.I didn't close the laptop. I couldn't. I watched as the names began to flicker—accountants, fixers, mid-level managers I’d worked with for years their access codes being revoked in real-time. Silas wasn't just clearing the books; he was erasing the witnesses."He’s burning the house down while we’re still in it," I whispered, my voice sounding small in the vast, quiet kitchen.Darius didn't pull away. He tightened his grip on my waist, his fingers digging into the silk of the robe. I could feel the low, vibrating growl starting deep in his chest—a human sound, but one that carried the weight of the wolf."He’s panicking," Da
IRIS’S POVI sat at the dining table with my laptop open, three different encrypted spreadsheets glowing against my face like neon warnings while the rest of the house stayed dark. I was wearing one of Darius’s black silk robes with the sleeves rolled up to my elbows, and even though the hem was pooling around my ankles in a messy heap, the heavy weight of it felt like a shield against a world that wanted me dead.In the kitchen, the steady thud-thud of a knife hitting a wooden cutting board provided a domestic rhythm that felt almost surreal after everything we’d been through, the smell of real coffee and actual food making my stomach flip in a way that had nothing to do with hunger."If you stare at that cell any longer, Iris, the numbers might actually start to move out of sheer intimidation," he said, his voice a low, gravelly rumble that vibrated through the floorboards and up into my seat."I’m looking for the leak, Darius," I replied, my fingers flying over the keys as I squint
DARIUS’S POVI watched Iris from the doorway of the bedroom. She was wrapped in one of my white dress shirts, the hem hitting her mid-thigh, her damp hair clinging to the curve of her neck. She had the vault map spread out on the mahogany desk, a laptop humming beside it, but her eyes were distant.She looked like a queen planning a coup, and a part of me—the part that still felt the raw, jagged edge of the serum—wanted to pull her back into the sheets and forget the world existed."The numbers don't lie, Darius," she said without turning around. Her voice was steady, but there was a tremor of exhaustion underneath it. "Silas hasn't just been hiding assets. He’s been laundering the Bond’s resonance into offshore shells. He’s using the energy we produce to stabilize the family’s stock prices. We’re literally the engine for Wolfe International."I walked over, my bare feet silent on the thick carpet. I stood behind her, my hands resting on her shoulders. She was so small compared to the
