LOGINCiara’s POVMy eyes never left his face as I sank lower.I had no idea what was happening inside my body. The purple glow under my skin pulsed hotter with every inch I took, my blood felt like liquid fire, and something ancient and hungry was moving behind my ribs, whispering that this man was mine to use, mine to break, mine to fuck.Seeing him obey and watching the powerful Alpha Blackthorne stay perfectly still beneath me because I told him to was so intoxicating that I only wanted more. My entire body was burning and all I could think about was fucking him until he forgot every other name but mine.I sank another slow inch.My walls fluttered wildly around the thick intrusion, greedy and eager, stretching wider than they ever had before. The head of his cock pressed against something deep and soft and my breath left me in a broken whimper. Heat flooded my belly. Milk spilled freely from both nipples in warm streams that dripped onto his chest. The glow around my stomach flared
Ciara’s pov The first inch of her was scorching, silken and impossibly tight. Her walls fluttered and gripped me like they were trying to pull me deeper by force, hot and wet and pulsing with that new, electric energy. I groaned long and low, head pressing back into the pillow hard enough to strain my neck, hands fisting the sheets so violently the fabric tore beneath my fingers. She felt like wet fire and pure heaven at the same time, she was hotter than before, wetter, the new power inside her making every clench stronger, more deliberate, and almost conscious.She took another inch. Then another. Slow and controlled. Her thighs trembled with the effort of going so carefully. A broken whimper spilled from her lips as she stretched around me.“Fuck… you’re so deep already… so thick… shit, Dax... you idiot... why are you this big...”She cursed me under her breath even as she asked for more, hips shifting in tiny rocking motions, trying to take another inch. The glow around her ab
Dax’s POVShe lined the swollen head of my cock against her entrance and the entire world narrowed to that single, scorching point of contact. She's soft, slick and burning hot. The first kiss of her folds against me sent a violent shudder through every muscle in my body.And a broken, guttural groan tore from my throat before I could stop it. My hands flew up on pure instinct, large palms settling carefully around the soft curve of her waist, thumbs brushing the underside of her rounded belly as if I could shield the life inside her even while she prepared to take me.I was breathing like a man drowning. Every inch of me locked tight with the effort of not thrusting upward into that perfect, dripping heat. The scent rolling off her was thicker and darker now, laced with that new wild power that made my wolf slam against my ribs and howl in pure, feral approval. Milk already beaded at her nipples and dripped in slow, warm trails down the heavy curves of her breasts. The faint purpl
Dax’s POVI watched her climb onto me like she owned every inch of the bed and every drop of blood in my body.I swallowed hard, the sound loud in the quiet room. She hadn’t even touched me properly yet and I was already so hard it hurt.My thick, heavy cock trapped behind the denim of my jeans and throbbing in time with my pulse. The scent of her hit me harder the second her thighs settled over my hips. It was so sweet, wet and desperate. It rolled off her in thick waves, thicker than usual, laced with something new and wild that made my wolf slam against my ribs and howl. I could smell how soaked she was and the heat of her through the thin fabric still between us. My pregnant mate was leaking for me, aching, and she was the one giving orders.Every instinct in me screamed to flip her, pin her carefully around that beautiful belly, and bury myself so deep she forgot how to speak. The beast wanted control. He always did. But the woman currently straddling me had fire in her eyes a
Ciara’s pov. He didn't say anything and if nearly screamed, what's the use of this damned suspense, I'm not a fan of it“I know Jasper must have held him somewhere secure, so how did you get him out without anyone knowing?”A slow smile appeared on his face, the kind of smile that meant he had done something clever, dangerous or both.“I will tell you.”I waited.He said nothing else and I nearly punched that smug face and the mysterious air he was putting on“Dax.”“You will be shocked.” he finally said and I rolled my eyes,“That is exactly why I want to hear it.”“I know.”“Then tell me already, you punk.”He glanced towards the door and chuckled “After you eat.”My expression immediately fell.“What does food have to do with my brother’s rescue?” the frustration in my voice was cold “Ella told me you refused everything Asher brought.” he said and I groaned, “I wasn’t hungry.”“You are always not hungry whenever something worries you.” he argued “My mother was in surgery.” I d
Ciara’s POVMy legs gave way beneath me.I stumbled backwards, but Dax caught me before I could fall, one arm wrapping firmly around my waist while his other hand steadied my shoulder. He said something close to my ear, telling me to breathe and calm down, but I barely heard him.All I could see was Valerio.My brother lay motionless in the centre of the hidden room, surrounded by machines whose lights flashed in slow, steady patterns. Tubes ran from beneath the blanket into equipment I could not recognise, while strange symbols glowed across the floor around his bed. The markings brightened and faded like they were breathing with him, filling the room with a faint silver light.He looked painfully thin.His cheeks had sunk in, his skin appeared almost colourless and the strong shoulders I remembered seemed smaller beneath the white sheets. There were scars near his wrists and along the side of his neck, some old and faded, others dark enough to show that they had not healed properly.
