Of Beasts and Heartbreak Chapter Sixteen - Total Submission
Tori’s POV I’d never opened up to someone so honestly, so completely, other than Ellie. And this was Alpha Calvin, once my number one suspect, my employer, and now my saviour. He’d even kissed me, for love of the Goddess! Or, rather, it was mutual. Having him on board with the investigation was beyond my wildest dreams and I would pay any price to achieve that. Yet, somehow, I sensed that things would be different with this man. “Shouldn’t I sign something, even if it’s an NDA?” I pressed. “Are you still trying to delay heading downstairs with me?” “I just want to do the right thing.” “Do you trust me?” “I think so.” “Not good enough. Tori, can I trust you to use your safe word if something becomes too much?” Well, he’d definitely turned that one on its head. “Count on it,” I said. It was obvious he was going to get me naked. If I could become comfortable with that, even with a virtual stranger like him, who knew what other obstacles to pleasure may disappear with time. “Do
Of Beasts and Heartbreak Chapter Seventeen - Limited Exposure
Calvin’s POVI was determined to take it slow with her, yet she aroused the beast in me. The way she stripped told me she was anticipating a pleasurable outcome to our evening. I knew I would enjoy keeping her on her toes. That was one reason I proposed the time-limited activity.So far everything had been tame. I decided a few mind games were in order. Her eyes opened very wide when I told her about the concealed camera. She must have known about the viewing room from the schematics. Unless she hadn’t had chance to study them.I’d felt someone providing a sympathetic ear to my subs ought to know the layout of each dungeon. She had an advantage over Naomi in that some of them had seen her crawl to me, but I couldn’t allow her to let me down in this.“Do I still owe you that favour, Calvin?”She was panting now, hoping to wriggle out of this one by reasoned argument; I’d promised when I collected it would be in private.“Naturally. This is you rewarding me for helping you. Delay any fu
Of Beasts and Heartbreak Chapter Eighteen - Opening Up
Tori’s POVAnticipation only heightens the senses, like when you salivate over the prospect of your favourite meal, yet being blindfolded was not something I liked. It was an endurance test usually followed by pain of one sort or another. I couldn’t associate it with anything else.Some tension can help with arousal but not when you’re expecting to be hurt with no mercy ever shown.Perhaps I could get over that phobia in time and with a dominant who knew what he was doing if I plucked up the courage to tell him about it.I used to find rollercoasters an exhilarating ride. Until one of my friends fell from a carriage. He was lucky to be alive. That kinda mirrored what Alex had done to me, made me believe sex is dangerous rather than exciting.Calvin had a vastly different approach. I was glad I no longer hated him.That wasn’t quite true. He was annoying me. The whipping I had anticipated didn’t progress beyond the slight sting of the flogger. Instead he went for the larger prize, taun
Of Beasts and Heartbreak Chapter Nineteen - Trapped
Tori’s POVI only had myself to blame for becoming sucked in once more, this time by a pair of ice blue eyes.Ellie wasn’t back yet, though heading home. I could hear the pop music in the background.“Before you ask, I’ve got you on speakerphone. And yes, my eyes are fixed on the road.”I nerved myself to say it. “I won’t be home tonight. I have to work late at the club.”I couldn’t bring myself to mention his name.“Have fun,” she said in a carefree way, devoid of any innuendo.I was grateful she hadn’t probed for details. Maybe she was still suffering from that bug.“See you tomorrow sometime, Els,” I said.“I’m going in to work so Goddess knows when.”“Take care.”“You too, Tori.”I ended the call simultaneously with my bestie and then went to face my blackmailer.He held out my pumps.“Put these on and bend over the bed.”“Yes, sir,” I whispered, setting down my phone and assuming the undignified position he’d requested.At least the comforter was soft.“Raise the hem of your skir
Of Beasts and Heartbreak Chapter Twenty - Walk Of Shame
Tori’s POVDawn was breaking when I found the courage to do what was needed. Calvin was still sleeping. Maybe I’d worn him out. I didn’t exactly creep down the stairs but realised my mistake when I saw the Delta in the small office close to the front door.Was he here already or hadn’t he bothered to go home?He spotted me, of course, but the words which would have followed his greeting of, “Hey, Tori,” died on his lips when he saw my expression.Did he see bewilderment, shame and fury mingled as I had done when I paid a necessary bathroom visit and saw myself in the mirror?“Travis,” I acknowledged.He hesitated.“Sometimes, the Alpha can be such a dick,” he said. “Can I call you a cab?”The last thing I wanted was to wait around for it to arrive. The sleeping beast might awaken.“Is this a good time to ask for a pool car?” I dared.Amazingly, that hadn’t been a lie and he just happened to know of a spare in the underground garage. I followed him below.“You’re lucky I was still arou
Of Beasts and Heartbreak Chapter Twenty-One - Drag Her Back If Necessary
Calvin’s POVI woke to an empty bed and a raging hard-on. Stretching, I assumed she was in the bathroom. As the minutes ticked by and no blushing she-wolf emerged – I found that enchanting about her – I realised she was no longer in my flat. Maybe she’d gone down to the office early.Taking a leisurely shower I allowed myself to relive the hot scene we’d shared downstairs followed by the even better conclusion up here. My one-night stands were infrequent since the timely appearance of Jewel, but Tori was the best of them.I found the email not long after booting up my laptop. It made me want to throw something. Contract-breakers are despicable and I had given her no cause. We were two consenting adults, weren’t we? This was unreasonable.Pounding down the stairs I was just in time to see Travis heading out. He’d had a long shift, though I knew he was used to it.“Have you seen her?” I barked, my gaze going to the closed office door.He turned slightly, as if unwilling to have this con
Of Beasts and Heartbreak Chapter Twenty-Two - Having It My Way
Calvin’s POVPredictably, Naomi came out of the office, making a fuss of Tori and barely acknowledging me. I found it funny now I was close to getting what I wanted most.“Join me for a coffee later,” she said, rubbing my financial adviser’s back as if she’d been in a car accident or something.I had no qualms about that. Her parking skills were even better than her driving given what I had observed both on the road and in the underground car park. And she was highly competent at both, cautious when she needed to be, daring when not.I wasn’t about to deprive her of a pool car. Not now. As it was we would be thrown together a lot and, while I was looking forward to it, there would be times when I wanted to keep my distance.In my office I came straight to the point.“Are you going to be professional about this?”Tori almost choked on her water.“Why wouldn’t I?” she managed, with just the tiniest hint of irony.This from a she-wolf who’d tried to wriggle out of a legally binding agree
Of Beasts and Heartbreak Chapter Twenty-Three - Suppressed Longings
Tori’s POVI was about to sign an amended contract which recognised my advisory role to the subs and also committed me to becoming Calvin’s personal sex toy. I couldn’t feel any joy in also being trusted to do the pack’s books given that I believed him to be innocent now. Yet it may yield a clue, given his various business interests, in the form of another name I’d been wanting to investigate.Alpha Joseph could have been lying through his teeth when he said what happened to Black Gold was nothing to do with him. Then there was the mysterious Alpha Tobias who never had a bad press. What had that been about with his supposed sidekick, Anthony? Hadn’t he recognised Alpha Calvin? Or was he trying to throw his weight around given that he was an associate of the owner of ‘Cheetah’s’?I wasn’t about to return there and find out. I would probably never have enough leisure time.We’d talked about STDs and regular health checks. When I suggested the contraceptive pill he was obviously pleased.
