เข้าสู่ระบบWe flew back to Vegas the next morning, and the moment we stepped off the private plane, Storm climbed out of the car with Alex cradled in her arms. I handed Terrence to Alek before rushing down the stairs to take our daughter, tickling her ribs as I lavished kisses on her face.“Oh, there you are! What a pretty girl! Who’s Mommy’s sweet, little demon girl?” I cooed, making her giggle as her chubby little arms flailed around, while she made happy noises. “Oh, my goodness! Has your Auntie been teaching you how to curse?”Storm laughed as she leaned forward to kiss my cheek. “I taught her all the bad words I could think of. Now, no offense, it’s not you, I wanted to see! I want to see my nephew! Where is he?”I waved my hand over my shoulder. “With his father.”While she raced past me, Galen offered me a small smile. “May I have a word, Tawnie?”“Of course. Is something wrong?” I asked worriedly.“Not exactly wrong,” he said slowly. “But also not exactly right.”“Uh-oh! That doesn’t sou
TawnieI bit back a giggle as Talon’s frustration rose. I knew that I was pissing him off, but I didn’t care in the slightest. I was having fun. The angrier I made him, the rougher he would become, which was exactly what I wanted from him. When he spun around and began to trot away from me, I scowled at his retreating back. Where in the hell was he going? I threw my hands up in frustration as I began to follow him, purposely running my hands over his back to entice him back the way we came, but he ignored me and kept pressing forward, which immediately angered me.I was about to throw him off the side of the canyon when he leapt over a portion of the wall that was pushed out into the path. I heard him land on the other side and continue on his way, while I hesitated where I was. I wasn’t quite ready to end our little game, and if I jumped over it, I ran the risk of being caught, which was the opposite of what I wanted. I took a step closer to the wall, debating whether or not I should
The next evening, I grinned at Tawnie as I watched her pump for the evening. We didn’t know how long we would be gone, but she wanted to make sure that there was enough for Terrence in case we were gone all night. Suddenly, she met my eyes from across the room.“You’re staring.”“You’re damn right I am!”“Why?”“Because you are beautiful. Isn’t that enough?”“Not when you are looking at me like you’re about to eat me,” she laughed, drawing the attention of both nurses.“That’s because I am going to eat you. You smell like you’re getting close to being in heat again, and I want to fuck you senseless before that happens so you don’t get pregnant,” I told her smugly.“I am not! I just had a baby!” she said sternly.“Mhmm. You’re starting to exhibit feline characteristics, my love, and a female cat can go into heat as soon as a week after they give birth, which you did 5 days ago. You’re getting close to being in heat again. I can smell it,” I repeated as I crossed my arms over my chest w
Two days later, I grunted when something landed on me, and I immediately reached up to grab whoever it was, rolling smoothly so that I was on top as I opened my eyes. When I saw my hand around Tawnie’s throat and that I was lying on top of her, I cursed under my breath as I carefully climbed off her, trying not to put too much pressure on her stomach. I let out a shaky breath as I sat on the edge of the bed, running my fingers agitatedly through my hair.“Did I hurt you?” I asked her worriedly.“Pfft. As if you could!” she laughed brightly, and as happy as I was to see that she was feeling more energetic today than the last two days combined, I was still anxious about possibly having hurt her. “Trust me, Alek, I’ve already healed a lot. We’ll be able to have sex tomorrow or the day after.” She paused as she sat up behind me, wrapping her legs around my waist. “But I was thinking that we could go out today. I already had Ingrid bring me a sling for Terrence in case you wanted to take h
A few hours later, a familiar scent seeped under my door, telling me that Nina was coming down the hallway. I quickly, but carefully, got out of bed to open the door before she could knock. I put my finger on my lips, telling her to be quiet as I stepped back to let her in.“Please be quiet. Tawnie is resting. She has been through a lot. Try not to wake her,” I instructed almost silently.She nodded. “I understand.”I locked the door behind her before leading her into the bedroom, only to find that Tawnie had woken up and was feeding our son. I groaned as I made my way over to the bed to kiss her forehead.“Good morning, my love,” I told her softly. “I asked Storm to send Nina to us so she can be here to help us with the baby. I don’t know if that’s what you want, but I promised you that we would make time for us. We can still have that. We will just have to rethink a few things.”She gave me a drowsy smile. “I’d like that.”Realizing she was still exhausted, I carefully got on the be
AlekI grunted in agony when sharp pain shot through me, making me snap awake. I pushed myself up and looked down at Tawnie, who, surprisingly, was still fast asleep through the pain. What in the hell was going on? All the pain was coming from our link, so I knew she was feeling it, but she was completely out of it, as if she truly wasn’t feeling it. I had always heard the rumors of her not feeling pain, and now I was wondering just how true those rumors were.I lifted the blanket and wasn’t surprised to see her stomach visibly moving. She was in labor. I groaned as I gently pushed her leg forward so I could check to see if she was dilated. When I couldn’t tell any difference, I pulled my fingers out of her and rolled over to grab my phone and the card of the doctor that Ingrid gave us. Before I could even press the first number to call her, my beautiful mate moaned softly. Okay, maybe she did feel some pain.“Shhh, baby,” I whispered as I sank her deeper into sleep. “I’m right here.
OsirusI was running through the woods, chasing yet another pair of men who had thought it was a good idea to sneak into my castle and try to attack my family. My father had been hurt trying to protect my mother, and for that, these assholes were going to pay. As soon as I caught them, that was. I
TawnieI swirled my drink around the tumbler as I glanced around the bar again. I clenched my jaw when, yet again, there was no sign of Alek. Goddess, I felt desperate, but I couldn’t help it. Not only had he been
JonasI kept my heart from beating as I began to heal. The last thing was for the little bit of blood that had been left inside of me to leak out of one of the various wounds on my body. As my muscles and other tissues mended themselves, they began to absorb my blood again, making me stronger with
I slowed down as I neared Tawnie’s town. I was still irritated by my parents’ order to ask her to be my chosen mate again. I knew they were coming from a good place, or at least they mainly were. I knew they were happy together, and I also knew that they wanted me to be just as happy as they were,
