CHAPTER FOURTEEN-THE GARDEN
Swinging her bag as she strolled through the apartment, Tessa hummed to herself, then stopped at the front door and picked up the phone. “Yes, this is Tessa Mason in apartment 1211. Can you send up the doorman, please?”
She poured herself a drink at the bar and glanced up to the door when the knock came. “Come in, Reggie. It’s open.”
The balding doorman smiled at Tessa and closed the door behind him. He was always happy to hear she was in town again because he made more than a pretty penny over the last few years from their side deals. “What can I do for you, Miss Mason?”
She winked her eye and held up her finger. “One moment.” As she walked around the back of the bar, she knelt before the safe and opened it. “What’s the going rate these days, Reggie?”
The doorman slid onto the wooden bar stool and shrugged. He was sure the witch didn’t care about money at all and would probably

“Please, come in.” Standing aside with his hand pressed against the heavy iron door, Rafik tilted his head inside. The soft scent of strawberries followed behind Tessa and made him miss the days spent on his grandfather’s farm.“Thank you.” She clasped her hands behind her back and glanced around the long vast basement lined in shelves full of glass bottles and books and scrolls. “I’m sorry I’m late.”Working her way slowly around the room as she examined the vials and papers, she inhaled through her nose, and a smile rose on her lips. The scent of old books would always take her back to the days of sitting on her father’s lap in his study while he read stories to her before bed.“You’re not late. I am at your service.” While she inspected her new surroundings, he stood by the door with his arms crossed as his eyes traveled all over her. The curly hairs that fell from her loose bun fra

“No, my love. Try again, please.” With his chin over her shoulder and his arms crossed, Rafik shook his head and scrutinized the way she chopped the root. The scent of spiced cider and the lyrical purr of his voice made Tessa pause before she continued to work.Every time he shifted on his feet or made a gesture with his hands, he wafted his familiar scent around the dusty air, and it clung to her skin like the little burrs that attach themselves in the woods.It was the third time he had her repeat the process for today’s potion, and she became more flustered by the minute.All her life, she was given numerous accolades and pats on the back for her natural talents but learning a skill like potions took more than her Fate-given abilities. Potions took finesse and were challenging in a new way to her, and she was getting tired and cranky from her constant failures.The f
Queen of Ruin- The Broken Immortals Book Three CHAPTER SEVENTEEN-TRIXY
Sleep Walk’s lyrics never sounded so lovely to Tessa as the words spilled from her red, glossy lips while she changed into her nightgown.Rafik was kind enough to allow her to leave early for the day, affording her time to visit the salon before her guest arrived this evening. It wasn’t so much for the prostitute’s benefit as it was for Tessa’s.She had a particular routine for her date nights. There were few things in her life she had control of, but the way she chose to love herself was one she wasn’t willing to skimp on.No matter who was between her legs, in her mind, it was always Rafik, and even in her imagination, she wanted to look pretty for him.She wore the same black nighty and used the same lotion every time she imagined her first night with him. The spicy scented cream on her skin warmed with her body heat as she rubbed it in, and the subtle notes of cinnamon and cloves filled the room.The knock came on
Queen of Ruin- The Broken Immortals Book Three CHAPTER EIGHTEEN-DINNER
While he peered out the window over the city while waiting for Tessa, Rafik smiled at the reflection of himself as he recalled what he just witnessed. The sound of her pleasured cries of his name made a shiver shoot through his nerves to the deepest places inside him.Hearing the clicking of her shoes on the tile behind him, he turned to see his mate in all her post-coital splendor. She glowed like a fiery angel as he walked towards her and took her hand. Her face lit up in a golden-pink flush of color, and even her eyes smiled at him.Be it the mate bond or just her gifted charms of seduction, his heart melted each time he saw her again. “You look radiant as always, my love.”In typical Tessa fashion, she wore a black pencil dress and black heels with the long string of black pearls Haldir bought her when she turned sixteen. Her monochromatic color scheme was more like a uniform t
Queen of Ruin- The Broken Immortals Book Three CHAPTER NINETEEN-THE WEDDING NIGHT
“After you, Rohi. You must be freezing.” In the elevator, Rafik wrapped Tessa in his arms to warm her from the chill of the rainy London night.“Is that better?” As his soft lips grazed her forehead, Tessa closed her eyes and nodded.“Thank you.” Her breasts rose and fell against his abdomen as she sunk into his embrace and pulled on his shirt to bring herself closer.Even all grown up now, they both missed the sweet innocence of the night they met and wanted to recreate that magic one more time. Without a word, they breathed in anticipation against each other until the doors opened again.Walking with their little fingers interlocked, she swung his arm as she walked carelessly and grinned to herself, drunk on his presence.Taking the keys from her, Rafik opened the door, then closed it behind him once they were inside. She took off her coat and hung it on the hook by the door before turning back to him.T
Queen of Ruin- The Broken Immortals Book Three CHAPTER TWENTY-ROCKING TESSA TO SLEEP
The bright white rays of the morning sun peeked through the blinds, and Rafik’s eyes slowly opened. He kissed Tessa’s shoulder before wiggling his face into the warmth of her hair to hide from the sun.He stopped short of making love to her the night before, and she was more than a little annoyed about it when she pouted herself to sleep. It seemed a sin to rush into it after waiting so long for her.“Too early.” Rolling away from the light, she tucked herself into his chest. The heat of her skin was like kissing his morning cup of tea as he pressed his lips against her forehead and thought about what laid ahead for them.He pushed her hair behind her ear and welcomed her with a smile when she opened her eyes. “Good morning, Rohi.”Her sleepy eyes bobbed up and down, and she grinned at his handsome face as she placed her hand on his cheek. “Good morning. I thought I dreamed all that.”“No, Tessa
Queen of Ruin- The Broken Immortals Book Three CHAPTER TWENTY ONE-THE MASTER
“Harder, baby. Please.” Preparing to go back to real life was unbearable, so Tessa did her best to convince Rafik to stay in the tender shelter between her legs until the last possible moment.Every charm imparted on her by Fate was like a custom-made concoction designed especially for him, and no matter how many substances he had immunity to, this was the one that slipped through unnoticed. He was powerless to its effects.They spent the last two days tangled up in messy, sweat-drenched, white Egyptian cotton sheets as they tasted and touched every part of each other. No inch of her went unexplored or unloved, but it wasn’t enough for the young lovers. “Yes. Oh, baby. That’s it. Just like that.”Slapping his sweaty hips against her round, slick ass while she cried out into her down-filled pillow, he grunted against the back of her head. As the bed smacked the wall in perfect rhythm to the pleasured noises they both made, the
Queen of Ruin- The Broken Immortals Book Three CHAPTER TWENTY TWO-THE MIRROR
While the thunder rolled outside the window, the cool air from the drafty old windows blew across Rafik’s face and woke him as the goosebumps rose on his arms. Tessa groaned at the disturbance, so he kissed her shoulder and pulled the blanket over it.Taking the watch from his nightstand, he squinted his sleepy eyes and sighed as he laid it back down. He’d received a special order the night before, and it was urgent.Trying not to wake her, he lifted the leg she had clamped down on his thigh, then slid out from underneath, and she growled like a kitten at its milk bowl when he left the bed.Looking over her naked body wrapped up in his bed, he blinked his eyes and grinned as he pulled his pants over his underwear and fastened them.Lost in her womanly wiles once again last night, he didn’t get a chance to give her the surprise he had, so he grabbed his cloak from the chair.The little box was lined in velvet, and when he pushed it
