The fire crackled inside the Alpha’s den.

Thick smoke curled through the room like a living thing, heavy with the scent of burning herbs and something darker. Cora’s wrists were bound in front of her, the leather biting into her skin as she was dragged deeper inside by two silent wolves. The den was built into the base of an ancient tree, hollowed out and fortified with timber and bone. The walls seemed to breathe with the night, lit only by flickering torches.

The Alpha sat on a throne carved from black stone, his body draped in nothing but a loose cloth hanging at his hips. His chest gleamed with sweat, every muscle defined like he was carved from something primal. He didn’t look at her like a man would. He looked at her the way a predator watches wounded prey.

Her bare feet scraped against the rough floor. The ropes around her wrists burned. Her heartbeat drummed in her ears so loudly it drowned everything else.

They threw her at his feet.

Cora fell on her knees, hands hitting the

    I tried to tell myself it was over.I packed boxes in silence, sealing them with shaky hands, trying not to remember the way he held me down against black silk sheets. The way he whispered my name like it already belonged to him. The way his voice made every wall between us disappear.Moving out was supposed to mean a clean break. But that night, the neighborhood was too quiet. The air was thick again, pressing against my skin like heat. I could feel him watching me even when I couldn’t see him.I stepped out onto my porch one last time. The porch light flickered softly. His house was dark, except for the faint glow spilling from the upstairs window. I should have gone back inside. Instead, I wrapped my arms around myself and stared at that light like it was pulling me in.I didn’t hear him come out. I just felt it.His voice slid through the quiet like warm smoke. “Leaving already?”I turned slowly. He was leaning against the railing of his porch, barefoot, wearing a black hoodie and

    The fourth night felt different.The air was heavier. The silence between our houses wasn’t empty anymore. It was full of the things we’d done. Full of the way he kissed me against the wall. The way he whispered my name against my skin. The way my door was never really locked anymore.I didn’t wait long. I didn’t have to.When I stepped outside, his lights were already on. The glow poured through his open curtains, soft and warm, a quiet invitation that pulled at something deep in my stomach. My heart raced as I crossed the short distance between our doors.This time, I didn’t hesitate. I didn’t knock.The front door opened before I could touch the handle. He stood there barefoot, wearing a black shirt with the top buttons undone and dark sweatpants that hung low on his hips. His hair was a little messy, like he’d been waiting.“You keep coming back,” he said softly.“You keep letting me in.”He smiled, slow and dangerous. “Maybe I like watching you walk toward me.”The sound of the d

    It started happening everywhere.Not just on his porch or in the heat of his kitchen. It became a game neither of us acknowledged out loud. A look from him in the hallway. A brush of his hand when no one was watching. The way his voice slid under my skin like silk every time he said my name.By the third night, the air between our houses felt charged, thick enough to taste. I told myself I wasn’t waiting for him. But when I stepped into the elevator in the lobby and found him already standing there, leaning casually against the mirrored wall in a black shirt with the top buttons undone, my pulse betrayed me instantly.“Going up?” he asked.I nodded. My voice wouldn’t work.He reached forward, pressing the button for my floor without me asking. The elevator doors slid shut, trapping us inside with the soft hum of machinery and too little space between us. His eyes dragged over me like a slow touch.“Long day?” he asked.“Yes.”“You should relax,” he said softly. “I can help with that.”

    The next night, I told myself I wouldn’t look for him.I cooked dinner, washed the dishes, turned on the TV, and tried to pretend I didn’t keep glancing toward the window that faced his house. It was a warm evening, the kind that made the air thick, heavy, and restless. My nightshirt clung to my skin, my hair stuck to the back of my neck, and every nerve in my body seemed too aware of the man who lived next door.By the time the clock slid toward midnight, I gave up pretending.The soft glow of warm lights spilled from his patio, unlike last night’s darkness. A breeze carried the faint sound of slow music across the short stretch of lawn between us. His glass doors were open, the curtains moving lazily in the wind. He wasn’t standing outside, but I could feel him there.I stepped out onto my porch barefoot again. I wasn’t wearing anything special, just a thin cotton dress that clung to my skin a little too easily. My heart beat faster with every step closer to his house. The music gre

    The first time I saw him up close, the power was out, and I was barefoot in nothing but a thin sleep shirt.The neighborhood was silent, the kind of silence that makes every small sound feel too loud. The streetlamps were dead, the houses dark. My phone battery was nearly gone, and the heat inside my house had started to build like a slow, smothering blanket. So I stepped out onto the porch, not expecting to see anyone else.But he was there.Leaning against the black metal railing of his balcony next door, shirt sleeves rolled up, hands in his pockets, watching the night like it belonged to him. He wasn’t supposed to look that good in the dark. Tall. Sharp jaw. That kind of presence that eats the quiet alive.I froze, my toes curling against the cool porch floor. He turned his head slowly, and the moment our eyes met, something inside my chest gave a hard, traitorous kick.“Couldn’t sleep?” he asked, voice smooth like warm liquor.I folded my arms over my chest, suddenly too aware of

  • Sinful Seduction (Exotica Collection)   Wife for the weekend 5

    The last morning of the weekend came too quietly.The ocean wind crept through the half-open curtains, brushing against my skin, carrying the salt and warmth of the water below. The sunlight touched the sheets still tangled around my legs, proof of what had happened again and again through the night. He lay beside me, one arm thrown across my waist like he owned the right to keep it there.This was supposed to be simple. One weekend. One deal. One performance. But there was nothing simple about the way he touched me anymore.I turned my head slightly. He was already awake, watching me with that same dark, unreadable gaze that had followed me since the first night. His hair was messy, his jaw shadowed, his lips still swollen from the way he kissed me hours ago. He didn’t look like a man who was ready to let this end.“Morning,” he murmured.I swallowed hard. “Morning.”His hand slid from my waist to my hip, down to my thigh, tracing small circles on my skin like he was memorizing it. “
