Mag-log in"Making babies." He repeated, his eyes dark and certain on mine.I laughed, my heart doing something warm and ridiculous in my chest."Is that a yes?" I asked."Come here and find out." Lucian said.He pulled me into his lap and kissed me and that was the end of the conversation.Lucian carried me to the bedroom and laid me down and undressed me slowly, his hands unhurried, his lips following every inch of skin as he uncovered it. By the time he stepped back and looked at me I was already breathless.He looked at me for a long moment, his eyes moving over every part of me with open hunger."Such a pretty pink pussy." He murmured. "All wet and juicy." His lips curved. "I think I'll have a taste."I gasped when he leaned down and buried his face between my thighs. He lapped at the wetness that had spilled down my thighs, moaning and groaning as he did."Daddy." I whimpered, writhing against the sheets."Hmmm." He hummed against me. "You are so sweet and delicious. I can't get enough of
Katy povI heard Lucian’s car in the parking lot before I heard his key in the door.He was back after informing me that Elias and he had gone to confront Margaret and convince her to drop the custody charges against Nova. He said that was the safest method that if she did, Nova would not have to be dragged through court houses to prove that she is capable of raising her own daughter. I had been sitting on the couch for the better part of an hour, Nova's situation turning itself over in my head like a problem I couldn't put down.I can still remember the look on Nova’s face when she asked me if she is that useless…that she can't even protect her own daughter.It breaks my heart that she is going through such a difficult phase. I had hoped that she would finally move past everything after she accepted Elias.With Margaret coming back to drag her back to hell, who knows when she will move on with her life and live freely without thinking that someone is coming to take Aria from her.
Nova povThe envelope was sitting on my dining table when I came back from dropping Aria at the nursery.The first thing that came to my mind was that someone sneaked into my house.Otherwise why would a letter appear not in my mail box but in my house. At first, I panicked and moved closer to examine the elephant in the roomIt was plain white and official looking.It also had my name typed neatly on the front with a return address I didn't recognise.I stood there for a moment looking at it the way you look at something that feels wrong before you can explain why. Then I picked it up and opened it.I read it once then I sat down and read it again.The words weren't complicated. Legal language has a way of dressing simple things in complicated clothes but the meaning underneath was clear enough. Margaret was petitioning the court for formal grandparental visitation rights to one Aria Davis, minor child. She was citing concern for the child's welfare and stability. She was citing h
Katy"She what?" Nova snapped, shooting to her feet so fast her chair scraped against the floor.We were in her apartment after I dropped Aria back to her. Aria was asleep in her room, completely unbothered by the world."Lower your voice." I said, reaching up and pulling her back down by the wrist. "You'll wake the girl.""I can't lower my voice." Nova said, though she did drop it to a furious whisper. "Not when that old hag wants to take away my child. She followed you? With men? While Aria was in the car?" She sakes and I nodded. But wait a minute… “ Why do I smell disappointment?” I asked. “ I am disappointed in her. I mean, I know she doesn't like us but pulling such a stunt could have gone wrong.” Nova replied. "It didn't though." I pointed out. Nova turned to look at me. “ You didn't think about telling me?” Nova asked, looking at me dead in the face. "You were out of the city." I said. "There was nothing you could have done from there. Besides, Lucian handled it." I r
EliasThe short vacation was worth it.I finally got the answer I had been yearning for. Nova agreed to give us a chance. She didn't talk about mating or the future or any of the bigger things and I wasn't going to push her toward them. We would get there. I was certain of that now in a way I hadn't been before she kissed me on that beach.Coming back to the city, my head was still full of the sound of the sea and the way she had looked in that green dress.I wanted nothing more than to find Lucian and make him sit through every detail of the last two days whether he wanted to or not.Well, he never makes me rest after he found Katy so why should I? Then his message came through before I could carry out my plan. “ Come to my office as soon as you see this.”That tone already said everything. Those words drained every trace of the coast right out of me.So, I did as instructed. I drove straight to his office after dropping Nova home. I found him behind his desk with Victor standing
KatyAria fell asleep after we arrived at the house. I sat very still on the sofa so I wouldn't wake her with her small warm weight against me.Her breathing was a slow and even rhythm of a child who had no idea what had happened not long ago and had no business knowing.Lucian came and sat beside me, his arm coming around my shoulders.We stayed like that in the quiet apartment without saying much.After a while I reached for my phone."Don't." Lucian said as if he knew what I wanted to do with it. I looked at him with a questioning gaze. "She is with Elias. If you tell her about Margaret, she will be back here immediately.”He said. “ Aria is now safe with us. Whatever happened today stays between us until she gets back." Lucian added. "She deserves to know that Margaret came after Aria." I said quietly.Nova is my friend and the last thing I want is her thinking that I kept things from her, especially something as delicate as Aria's safety. "She deserves two days." He replied
"Yes," I said immediately.Lucian pulled off the first cover, revealing a midnight blue sports car that made my jaw drop."This is my track car. Tailored for me with a custom engine and a carbon fiber body. I built her from scratch." He explained enthusiastically. The second was a sleek silver mac
Lucian POVHe ignored me. He fucking ignored me as his gaze remained pinned on Katy. "Elias," I repeated, forcing my voice to remain calm even as my wolf snarled with anger. "What the fuck are you doing here?"Finally, he turned to look my way, a smile on his lips. He had the audacity to look am
Katy POVOne minute, we were having a peaceful conversation as we waited for dinner to be served... The next minute, a man's appearance changed everything, including Lucian's composure.I lay in the massive bed and stared up at the ceiling, replaying the disaster that had been our first dinner as a
Katy POVIt's been two days.Two days since someone destroyed my shop. Two days since I watched police officers take statements and insurance adjusters shake their heads. Two days of feeling completely helpless.I have barely left the apartment.I have spent most of my time holed up in the guest
