LOGINLUCIAN“How does that even work?”For the last ten minutes, I’d been trying to wrap my head around Violet’s explanation of how water wasn’t wet. This wasn’t the first of such arguments she’d be having with Reese. But this time, she’d taken it upon herself to have the discussion with me while we walked the halls of BlackRidge.We’d just concluded a meeting with Damon and his beta regarding our movements against West Creak’s forces.So far, my men had crossed paths with one of Tristan’s main footholds and were engaging with them.In any cases, I had faith in what my forces could do. But Damon…he was having his misgivings about a couple of members of the North Alliance.I understood why he would. But trust was something we could only hope on. Any little rumors or further misgivings among other members would only spark outrage. Something we couldn’t afford.James…it wouldn’t be hard to assume the darn Beta was whispering different things into Damon’s ear. He could very well be the reason
VIOLETLucian had been sweet. In a way that was very odd for the enigma that was Lucian. I’d expected him to bury himself in work again, maybe turn his office to the retreat and escape he’d turned it to the last time we shared a kiss at the partyBut oddly, that hadn’t been the case.We’d spent nights without the pillow barricade and I didn’t have the heart to even bring it up. He was texting me more than usual.And it wasn’t just with the occasional orders of wanting to know what I was doing, or issuing some command or the other.*You mistreat me.*A chuckle left me. Anyone reading this would think I was treating him back. But the reason for all the grumbling was simply because I’d refused any chocolate, something I’d be pretty fond of any other day.Today however, I wasn’t so in the mood. And Lucian wasn’t taking it too well.*I’m done with everything for the afternoon. I’ll be heading down soon.*“Lucian says he’ll be down soon,” I announced to Reese who was spread out on the adja
VIOLETOnce upon a time, I’d thought the craziest thing I’d done was getting drunk during one of West Creak’s festivals.I’d woken up in the stables with a crazy hangover and the farmer’s kid looking at me weirdly. Since then, I’d sworn off anything alcohol and whatever would make me lose control over myself.But nothing could have prepared me for the sight of waking up to find a naked Lucian sleeping next to me.“Oh fuck.”I immediately tried backing away, something I shouldn’t have even done. A sharp headache wracked through my head making me wince. My head throbbed, almost like someone had slammed a mallet over it.The memories of last night began filtering through my head. Being downcast about Tristan and what happened, Lucian coming in and forcing the alcohol out of my hands. And the mind-blowing sex we’d had.I was screwed. Big time.A small groan left Lucian as he turned to face me, eyes slowly peering open. For a while I remained frozen, unsure of what I wanted to do and if I
TW: EXPLICIT SCENELUCIANThis wasn’t my first time being intimate with a woman.Given, I’d had my own fair share of sex and understood quite well what it took to give a woman pleasure and be pleasured in the same light.That being said, there was something about feeling Violet’s mouth wrapped around me that seemed to send me to cloud nine.“Fucking hell.”Another groan slipped out of my mouth as she bobbed her head over my dick, tongue running over its hard length.I reached for her hair without realizing, pleasure clouding every last bit of coherent sense I still had. There was something about the way she was so good with it too.Was this not her first?Any question I might have thought to ask got cut out when she started to bob her head even faster. Her hands went to work as well, running up and down the lengths her mouth couldn’t take.Then she took in a deep breath and went all the way forward. There was a little gagging sound that left her throat. Slowly, she pulled back again,
VIOLETThis wouldn’t be the first time Lucian would kiss me. But goodness, was it nothing short of heavenly. For the Alpha, composure and maintaining that aura of calm was almost second nature.And yet he was kissing me with the desperation that one would have for air.“Violet,” He sighed, moving back in to claim my lips again.Each time he slid his tongue into my mouth, it was done with a certain precision that made me question just why he was so good at it. Had he done it with other women before?Very likely.I’d be suspicious if he hadn’t. But it didn’t stop the jealousy from gnawing at me like a parasite. Just as quickly as the thought came, it disappeared when Lucian tightened his hold on my waist.He eventually pulled away, letting me catch my breath. I doubt there’d ever been a time when I saw that look in his eyes. One of pure desire. It made my stomach flip in the same way heat continued to run straight to my core.The way his eyes lingered on mine was almost like he was aski
VIOLETI’d told myself I’d never do it again.The incident at the party had been a big enough lesson. He’d looked at me with disgust back then. Even avoided me right after. I shouldn’t have let him kiss me again.And yet, the mere feel of his lips against mine threatened to render my knees weak. A small sigh left him, tongue sliding into my mouth with an ease that both surprised and frustrated me.Only after a few more seconds did it click in my head that I wasn’t supposed to be doing that. Without thinking, I pushed him away, breath coming out in pants. The alcohol had done numbers on dulling my senses but it did little to quell how hard my heart was pounding.“Violet,”How was it that he managed to make sound like that? Like some sort of prayer. And why was he looking at me with those eyes? Like he’d shatter if I so much as made the wrong move. It infuriated me to no end.I hated it. I hated h…“Don’t.”Lucian paused. “What do you—”“Don’t do that shit again.” I didn’t hold back the
