The duvet had been kicked to the bottom of the bed during a very heated make-out session, where I had shamelessly dry-humped Greyson the entire time. He didn't seem to mind and encouraged me with his hands on my hips, pushing and pulling me back and forth until we both came from the delicious friction.After a while, we pulled apart, and I cuddled into his side with my head on his chest and his arm around me.His fingers drew circles along my skin, and I felt guilty that I hadn't gone down on him in return, but when I had tried, he told me not to. I should have been flattered when he said that if I wrapped my lips around him, he would blow sooner than he wanted, but I was disappointed that I didn't get to taste him."Freya said that you two have known each other for a while." I knew it was crazy, but the steady pumping of his heart made me feel better. Surely, if there were something romantic about their relationship, it would have sped up.My father had taught me that trick for detect
Sloane:"So, where have you been sneaking off to?" Aiden asked as he plopped down on the couch next to me in the library. His red hair looked lighter as the sun hit it through the window.Breakfast had been a tense affair. Ethan had been sitting closer to me than the morning before, and I kept reliving him slamming me up against the tree and crushing my wrist. Each forkful I brought from my plate to my mouth resulted in a glare or raised eyebrow being sent my way from him.He clearly hadn't liked what I had eaten or how fast I did so, but I wanted to fill my stomach and get out of there.Every time I looked up, I found my mother staring at me, too. The worry lines on her face were more prominent, but even when I held her stare, she refused to look away. Water would just line her eyes, and she would let out a shaky breath.She knew something. I just hoped it wasn't the truth. If she knew I had been spending my days with a rogue, let alone The Rogue Alpha, I would probably live to regret
Tatum looked uncomfortable as she glanced around the library, but Aiden quickly ushered her over the couch. She peered between me and my brother before talking a seat on the sofa a few feet away, facing us. “I’m sorry you had to hear that,” Tatum said, tucking her dark auburn hair behind her ear. Her cheeks turned pink, and I wondered if they had wanted me to hear it. She seemed nice enough, but I didn’t know if I could trust her.Over the course of the month, they would each earn points based on their placement in each challenge. They earned more points during the smaller events such as the dates they won with me or the one on one dinners they would be having each week with my family. Each event gave them the option to earn up to eight points, and the other functions could earn them up to four points. At the end of the month, the suitor with the highest score would win the games.It allowed me and my family to have a vote in who I would be forced with, but it also made it so none o
I had to press my lips together to hide my laughter when I heard Sloane stumble for the fourth time. Each time, I had to fight the instinct to turn and help her, but I knew she was strong enough to handle the climb on her own and didn't want to insult her.The bag I had packed for us was awkward and bulky but not heavy enough to slow me down. Freya had filled it with everything she thought we might like or need, but I wasn't sure what to expect tonight.Sloane had stated that she was hungry, and while I wanted to feed her, I had a destination in mind for our first date."It smells so good! Maybe if we just stop and try a bite, just a small taste…" Sloane jogged to walk next to me, and I couldn't help but smile when she grabbed my forearm with raised eyebrows and a hopeful smile on her face. She had been asking to stop for a few minutes now, but we were so close."We're almost there," I said, stopping and cupping her face as I smacked a kiss to her pouty lips. "It'll be worth it. I prom
I felt like I should have been embarrassed as I rushed back to the town with Greyson hot on my heels. Yet, I wasn't.He had been incredibly patient with me thus far, letting me set the pace of our intimacy, but I was ready for more. The hesitance I had when we first started this a few days ago had been thrown right out the window. He was kind, respectful, and a little possessive… which I secretly loved.I was eager to learn and didn't want to wait anymore. I wanted to make the most out of this month and take advantage of every minute I could with him.Greyson sped up as we approached his house, and I squealed when he swooped me up into his arms and jogged the rest of the way.I couldn't help the giggle that escaped me when he dropped one of my legs and turned me so I could cling onto his front like a monkey with my legs around his waist.With each step… each breath, I felt the air around us grow hotter as we reached his front porch.Unable to wait any longer, I decided we were close en
My hand clenched around my fork tighter as Ethan sent another glare in my direction. I couldn't understand why he was so concerned with what I ate. It wasn't his body the calories and carbs were going into, and he wasn't going to ever touch mine.Even if he did win The Mating Games, I would rather cut off Ethan's hands before ever letting him touch me, let alone impregnate me.If Greyson had been telling the truth, and I knew he was, Ethan would be dead long before he could force himself on me. That thought was enough to have me smiling through our appetizers and the start of our entree.I gestured to the server, and they grabbed the chilled bottle of wine from the ice bucket and moved to fill my empty glass. Ethan curled his lip in disgust, raising his hand to cover my wine glass as the server stopped between our chairs."She's had enough," He muttered, and I turned to give him a piece of my mind when my father agreed with him."You've barely touched your food, Sloane. Eat something b
I felt a weird sense of uncertainty as I looked around my room, feeling as though I was forgetting something but unsure what it was. Maybe it was anxiety or nerves, but something wasn't sitting right with me.I couldn't tell if it was a warning of something bad coming, and that made me uneasy.Now that I had sex with Greyson, I felt uncertain about where we stood. Had he enjoyed it? What would he want to teach me next?My phone vibrated in my hand, and I lifted it to see Grey's name across the screen.Grey: This is taking too long. I'm on my way to come break you out.I giggled, covering my mouth in case anyone had been walking by my room. The chance of being heard was slim to none with the measures put into place for our enhanced hearing, but I didn't want to draw any attention to myself if I could help it.Sloane: I'm leaving right now. I'll be there soon.Grey: It's been a week since you've been in my arms. Soon is not soon enough.Sloane: It hasn't even been twenty-four hours.Grey
I had expected us to go to Greyson's house, but when he went in the other direction, I was even more grateful that he had brought me some dry clothes. A small camp had been erect in the forest, and from the already lit fire and the smell of Freya, I knew I owed her a thank you for setting this up. Greyson dropped my hand when he moved to the cooler and grabbed me a drink, and I noticed it was also full of food. I wasn't sure how long he expected us to stay out here, but I had to be back early in the morning, and I hoped he knew that. I eyed the green two-person tent and smiled when I thought about all the things we could get up to in there. "Is this another one of those dates?" I asked as I sat by the fire in one of the two camping chairs. Everything looked brand new, and I eyed him warily, hoping he hadn't bought all this just for tonight. We were wolves. There was nothing more natural than being outdoors and sleeping under the stars. "Yes." His firm and confident nod made me blus
