The next morning, I woke up when Storm entered the crypt, obviously agitated. She stomped across it to where I lay on the marble slab, curled up with Alek’s body. When she stopped in front of me, she narrowed her eyes on me as she put her hands on her hips.

“I thought you were staying at the casino last night!” she hissed. “I went looking for you when I woke up and you were gone! There wasn’t even a fresh scent to track!”

“I’m sorry, Storm, but I missed Alek a lot and wanted to cuddle with him,

  • Roll The Dice   Night Alone

    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

  • Roll The Dice   The Start Of Their Honeymoon

    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

  • Roll The Dice   Taking Care of His Woman

    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

  • Roll The Dice   Uh-Oh!

    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.

  • Roll The Dice   Determined To Make Her Happy

    Two Hours LaterOur cab was pulling up in front of a nice hotel, which immediately had me turning to narrow my eyes on Alek.“What is this?” I asked.“This is the El Tovar Hotel.”I put my hands on my waist as I glared at him. “I thought we were flying under the radar! We promised Ingrid and Hammond!”He laughed as he retrieved our bags from the trunk. “Who do you think got us the room?”I groaned. “This is really extravagant for a week of sex.”He raised an eyebrow as he took my hand to lead me inside. “I’m not going to just keep you in bed. I’ve been in this area so many times and was never able to see the Grand Canyon. We’re going.”I groaned as I leaned against his side. “I just want you to know that I have no life insurance plan. If you decide to throw me over the edge, you get nothing.”The employee behind the desk gave Alek a worried look, which caused him to laugh as he pulled me close to his side.“If anyone is throwing anyone off the cliff, it will be you, throwing me, becau

    At 6 AM the next morning, Alek lifted me out of the bed, cradling me against his chest as he walked out of the room, while I grumbled under my breath as I snuggled into his neck.“Why did we have to fly out so early?” I whined. “We could have taken my private plane and left whenever we wanted to.”“You’ll see why in a little bit. Now, go back to sleep. I’ll wake you when we get there.”“Okay.”I closed my eyes to sleep, but it never came. Instead, I spent the ride to the airport on his lap with his arms around me, breathing in his scent. I knew he knew I was awake based on the way his hand massaged my thigh. Not that I was going to complain. After only making love to him once when we got home, I was starving for his touch. When the car was put into park, Landon sighed heavily.“Boss, I know you’re awake,” he said.I groaned as I lifted my head to narrow my eyes at him. “You couldn’t just let me enjoy being with my mate?”“I just wanted to apologize to you for mine and Preston’s behavi

    I paced back and forth in my penthouse while I waited for Alek to come up. I could hear him and Andresky having a very heated conversation two floors beneath me. Every so often, they would get quiet, and I would head for the door to rip Andresky’s throat out until Alek’s voice would stop me. Logica

    After a long moment of not being able to breathe, think, or move, I let Ingrid help me back to my feet while I took deep, calming breaths before I wrapped my centuries-old self-taught self-control tightly around myself. It was going to be the one thing that kept me from breaking. Breaking was somet

I knew there was a lot we needed to talk about, but it would have to wait until after my conversation with Andresky, as much as I hated it. For a moment, she remained so quiet and still that if I hadn’t realized she open

Finally, I sighed as I turned away to head back to the casino, where I knew Storm was waiting for me to get back. When I walked int
