“Is that guy bothering you?” A very sexy manly man appears in front of me with an incredibly sexy voice and a dreamy smile. Damn! My hormones are going to get me into trouble! I take in his look. His very tight black t-shirt that leaves very little to the imagination and his washed-out jeans.

“No. I can handle him.” I flash him my sexiest smile and instantly regret it. Having to remind myself that I’m married. But am I? Really? I mean, Eli has been schtupping my fake best friend from before we were married!

“May I join you? He isn’t your husband or boyfriend or anything, is he?” The Greek god sits down and doesn’t wait for me to answer. He just oozes sex appeal, and it is almost as if it is something I’ve been needing, and I never even realized.

“So? What is a beautiful girl like you doing in a dump like this?” He smiles before taking a sip of his beer while I study him for a moment.

“Does that line ever work?” I burst out laughing and see a smile I haven’t seen from a guy in many years. He leans forward, and I note how the t-shirt can’t hide the movement of his muscles underneath.

“I don’t know. Do you want to get out of here and find out?” Something in his voice electrifies every nerve in my body. I’m not nearly drunk enough to take on the conversation of doing what he is suggesting. My hand flies into the air and moments later, the waitress appears, and I order a bottle of tequila.

“Don’t tell me you have to be drunk to sleep with me.” He teases and I laugh because, honestly, I don’t know what the hell I’m doing. I don’t know if I am even going to sleep with him. What am I going to do about Eli’s guards?

That is when something inside me snaps. Why am I still worried about Eli’s guards? Why the hell, after what I just witnessed, am I worried about Eli’s feelings at all?! As soon as the tequila arrives, I pay the waitress and get up.

“Are you coming?” I smile at the Greek god. He sits back for a moment and studies me before getting up. I note the shock in the eyes of my guards as I take the stranger’s hand, and we leave the pub. I’m really shocked that I’m actually doing this, but I also don’t care. I want to hurt Eli in the worst possible way, and this will definitely do that.

“Your place or mine?” He pulls me into his arms as the cool night air brushes over my face. It feels wrong, but at the same time it all just feels so damn right.

“We can’t go to mine. Do you see those guards?” I point at the men who clearly want to say something, but they don’t dare. The Greek god nods. “They work for my husband.”

“Okay, the hotel then.” He smiles and grabs my hand before leading me across the street to the only “hotel” in town. It’s actually a bed-and-breakfast. The girl behind the counter giggles as the guy books a room, and minutes later, we are walking up the stairs.

I’m still trying to deal with the war going on between my conscience and my broken heart, when he pulls me into the room and locks the door. He closes the gap between us in record time and pulls my dress over my head in one swift movement.

My breath hitches in the back of my throat when I see the hunger in his eyes. When his lips touch mine, I belt against his warm body. I don’t even know his name, and he is making me feel more wanted than I’ve felt in forever.

I don’t even know his name! I’m married! What am I doing?! His tender touch distracts me from the war going on inside of me. It is just so incredible to be with someone who really wants me. Even if it’s a huge mistake. Even if I should be doing it.

It just feels so incredible to be with someone who actually makes love to me. I wake up just before dawn, and note that he is still sleeping. Grabbing my things, I sneak into the bathroom. I consider taking a shower and then decide against it.

I know that Eli will smell the guy on me, and I want him to. I want him to feel the pain I feel. I want him to feel hurt to his core. I want him to realize that I just basically had to snap my fingers and a man that wasn’t him was in my bed.

I get dressed and don’t even waste time on fixing my hair much before I sneak out of the room. One of the guards is asleep in a chair in the foyer of the bed-and-breakfast. I kick his shoe to the bewilderment of the girl.

As I make my way outside, I note that the other guard is fast asleep in the car. I know that Eli already knows. They would have mind linked him the night before. I feel regret as I get into the back of the car. I regret that my marriage has gotten to this awful point.

I regret that I had a one-night stand. I regret that I ever met Eli. As we drive back to the pack house, I’m just filled with regret and guilt about the past five years. Mostly, I regret not listening to that little voice inside my head that told me what Eli was doing.

He is waiting on the porch as we pull up, and I can see the utter disgust in his eyes as I walk right past him. His reaction honestly doesn’t bug me. It infuriates me. Who the hell does he think he is? He was the one who has been sleeping with another woman the entire time we have been married. He started this awful turn of events.

“I take it that we are even now?” He sighs as he walks into the foyer where I had just kicked off my shoes.

“Oh, honey, we aren’t even nearly there. I’m tired. I want a shower and a nap and then, if I feel like it, we can talk. Go play with your mistress, and leave me alone.”

  • Moonlit Betrayals   Chapter 127 - Is this real?

    Jemma“Are you at least having a little bit of fun?” Sam looks worried as we glide across the floor.“Well, yeah. I am now. You are a terrific dancer. I take it your mom taught you.” I raise one brow and he bursts out laughing.“She believed that all men should be able to dance even if they didn’t like it.” He winks. I can feel him relax, and it makes me relax even more as the song ends. We walk off the dance floor and Sam talks to some of his colleagues.I note that some of them look a little strained as soon as they see me and I can’t help but wonder what that is about. I didn’t see any signs that this is what Sam was doing. Fine, there were a lot of outfits in that spare closet, but they were all brand new.Oh, god! He does this to each woman he tries to impress! I sigh and excuse myself from the conversation, slowly making my way to the lawn where there are fewer people. I just need air, before my mind runs away with some ridiculous theory that isn’t true.“Here you are. Are you o

  • Moonlit Betrayals   Chapter 126 - Celebrating me ...

    JemmaI pick the sparkly blue halter-neck dress. I’ve never worn anything like it, and I love how it clings to my body as it falls all the way to the floor. I’ve often seen women at the hotel dressed like this. Fiona helps me with my hair and make-up, and I’m ready just in time for this event.“Wow!” Sam exclaims as I walk out of my room. He has been waiting for me and I instantly feel guilty.“I’m sorry. I hope I didn’t make you wait for too long.” I start to fidget with the bracelet that Fiona insisted I wear.“No, no. No need to apologize. You are right on time.” His eyes gleam with excitement as he holds out his arm and I slip my hand into the crook of it. As we come down the stairs, I realize the entire foyer is filled with people.Some of the faces look familiar, and I can only guess that the rest of them probably work with Sam. I saw some of them when he showed me around. Sam looks comfortable as he introduces me to people, and we make our way through the crowd.“Good evening,

    JemmaIn front of me, a huge beautiful mansion stands proudly, and a little out of place right there in the middle of the forest! We walk up the first couple of stairs, and I’m stunned by the beautiful gardens surrounding an enormous fountain.“Wow.” The word is out before I can help myself and my cheeks turn bright red when Sam looks at me and smiles.“Wait till you see the back.” He winks and laughs before taking my hand and leading me through the enormous wooden front door. From the outside, it looks like there are two floors. It’s confirmed when we walk in, and I gawk at the enormous foyer and grand staircase.“Sam, I can’t live here. Hell, I don’t even think I should work here. It’s grander than the hotel!” I pull my hand from his and stop walking. Crossing my arms over my chest, I take a deep breath.“Well, you aren’t going to work here, unless you want to, but it won’t be anything like at the hotel. You are going to live here. Come, let me show you around.” He looks happy and p

  • Moonlit Betrayals   Chapter 124 - Moving day ... Really?!

    JemmaWe walk in, and suddenly my apartment feels really cramped with both men hanging around behind me looking at my personal space. I slowly turn around and look at them.“Look, I don’t need a roof and all that. I can figure things out on my own.” I shrug but Sam doesn’t move. He looks at me for a moment before nodding at his bodyguard. I watch as the man leaves my apartment, but I get a feeling that he is standing just outside the damn door.“Jemma, pack your things. You are coming with me.” Something flashes in his eyes and it honestly scares me. I have been joking about the kidnapping and all that, but the fear has become incredibly real.“NO! I’m not, and you can’t make me!” I shouted, not meaning to. When he moves closer, I flinch, but he scoops me up and throws me over his shoulder so fast that I can’t even fight him off. “Put me down!” I slam my fists against his back, but it doesn’t seem to have an effect. He does have a nice butt!“You have one of two choices, Jemma.” He pu

  • Moonlit Betrayals   Chapter 123 - He is going to kidnap me!

    JemmaSadly, I’m forced to turn around and go back inside.“I need my things from my locker.” Sam follows me as I walk right past Mr. Nash and almost shout it over my shoulder. I’ve already quit. What is he going to do? Fire me?! I storm into the change room at the back and stuff everything into my bag.It is astounding that I have collected so much in such a short time, and by the time I’m done, my bag is positively bursting, and I can’t even close the zipper. I turn around too fast and slam the bag into Sam’s chest by accident.“Sorry.” I look into his eyes only for a second as relief floods my body. At least it wasn’t my chest that slammed into him. He takes the bag from me and hands it to the man that always seems to be following him. It’s probably a bodyguard or something.“Do you need to do anything else?” Sam looks amused. “You know? Before we leave and have to come back again.” His amusement is irritating, and I shake my head, keeping my lips pursed tightly together so I don’t

  • Moonlit Betrayals   Chapter 122 - I resign!

    SamI follow the direction of her gaze as she pushes past me. I’m not surprised to find that thin-lipped manager glaring at us, and it’s the final straw. Marching over to where he is standing, I make sure that he can feel my power flow through the air.“Mr. Nash, I intend on asking Jemma out on a date as soon as we’ve booked out tomorrow. I will also make sure that we never have our conferences here again, if you so much as think about firing her.” A soft growl vibrates through me and I note the fear in his eyes.He nods and leaves without a word. I turn to find Jemma, but she is gone. I wanted to take the chance of asking her for a dance, but each time I do see her, she is busy. The last thing I want is for anyone here to be neglected.I’m relieved when the night ends. All I can think about is signing for the bill and then finding Jemma.JemmaI saw them talking right before I walked into the kitchen. My heart is racing. My palms are sweaty and I just need a moment. I rush into the s

  • Moonlit Betrayals   Chapter 121 - Why won't Sam just leave me alone?

    SamI don’t like that she looks so nervous. I don’t have time to think about it as the other alphas walk into the conference room. I carefully watch them to make sure none of them react to her scent and I almost breathe a sigh when I see it seems to be just me.“Hey, alpha, are you okay?” Mark hands me my folder and we take our seats.“Nope.” I frown as the meeting gets underway. I have a hard time focusing. I’m concerned about Jemma and the fact that she looked so nervous. It’s clear the hotel management makes sure that their staff don’t get involved with guests, and I guess it makes sense.I just don’t like to see her like that. I have to find a way to speak to her without any of them around. Yes, that’s what I will do. I will speak to her when I’m not a guest. It’s going to be really tough to stay away while we are here, but I have another twenty-four hours, and then I won’t be a guest anymore.JemmaI’m relieved when he doesn’t try to speak to me again. Usually, if I just tell the

    Jemma“I hate conferences. Why can’t people just come to the hotel for a holiday?” Mandy complains. She always complains. When there are only holiday guests, she complains because she can’t earn enough to be the one just enjoying the hotel.“Just keep your eyes open. I’m sure one of these guys at the conference will catch your eye.” I wink, hoping it will distract her.“If only! Mr. Nash told me this morning I’m working in the restaurant for the next three days. Apparently, he wasn’t happy with the way I arranged the conference room the last time these guys were here.” Mandy sighs.“Besides, all of them have been here before. There are no new faces.” A sly smile crosses her lips. “Or bodies to look at. Have you seen how their wives dress?!” She rolls her eyes and leaves the kitchen. I grab my tray and pack the water bottles before making my way to the conference room.After giving the room a quick once over, I leave feeling confident that Mr. Nash will be happy. It is the first year t
