Do we have a deal or not?

To say Annette was shocked would be an understatement.
This was far from what she had anticipated or even dreamed of. She had thought possibly that he would give her some money and they would work out a payment strategy over a stipulated period of time, and she would have to get different jobs and work for hours in order to meet up with the payment.
Hell, he would have proposed that she work for him and keep doing so until her debt has been paid, and it would have been worth it for her brother, for James.
But not this, not what he was proposing. Annette had never imagined in a million years that Xavier Michaelson would demand that of her. Demand for her body. Demand to have sex with her as a means to pay her debt.
But the question was, will she be able to do it? Have sex with a man to save her brother.
But Xavier was not just any man. They go way back, to when they were younger, teenagers, and they had been friends.
She thought of the possibility of Xavier having feelings for her back then the same way she did --a teenager's crush or having feelings for her now, for that matter. But one look at his face made that thought fly out the window.
No, there was no way this cold-hearted werewolf could harbor any tender feelings for anyone, let alone her. This was plainly about sexual desire and dominance, and she was at the receiving end.
"Why me?" That was the only question that came to mind.
"Have you seen me?" She said while pointing at herself.
"I am not a model precisely, nor do I have the body of one. I totally like the way I look. Don't misunderstand me, but girls like me do not particularly go out with or be around men of your status, they_"
"They what?" He asked cutting her off before she could complete her sentence. He looked deep into her eyes, and men did he look pissed.
Her back met the smooth, solid office door before she could blink. He moved fast like lightning. She could not stop him, not that she wanted to. His left hand was placed on the door, a few inches from her face, and his right hand wind around her waist pulling her body to his.
This made him impossibly close to her, as if he wasn't close enough. He was huge; his well-defined muscle, broad shoulders, and impressive height made him look more intimidating.
Bloody hell, they were so close, chest to chest. She could feel something firm poking her stomach.
Her eyes widened in shock as she realized what it was. He was hard, and very much so from what she could feel.
"Not all men like rawboned women?" His heated gaze was on her. She placed her hands on his broad chest as if to push him back.
"Some men like curves," he said, moving his fingers along her spinal cord, sending sparks through her body.
"I like curves on my woman, something to hold onto while I thrust into her, not one that looks like she is starving."
Annette sucked in a breath when she heard his words.
He removed his hand from her waist and l lifted it to her face, cupping it. His touch was possessive, not gentle.
He slowly rubbed his thumb over her lower lip.
Looking deep into her eyes, he continues.
"So what do you say, Annette? Do we have a deal or not?"
Annette was in a dilemma. Was she going to accept his proposal?
The thought of her cousin lying on the floor cold and lifeless flooded her mind.

Solace In The Alpha's Embrace Something extra
Annette managed to avoid Xavier for most of the day by escaping to the library. Not hard when he also appeared to be doing his best to avoid her. Probably didn’t want reminded of his mistake. The more she thought about it, the more she became convinced what they’d had was just a bit of fun for him. That she was just a human plaything to be put aside when his duty to mate for the pack came calling. Asshole. She’d thought that about him so often in the last few hours, she should really append it as a prefix to his name. Scowling, she realized she’d re-read the same six sentences of her book for the last hour or so. With a sigh, she closed it and stood. It was a new one by her favorite author, one she hadn’t gotten around to reading yet, so to find it on the shelves of Xavier’s library had been a surprise. In fact, there was a whole shelf dedicated to romance, so someone in the house must be a fan.Not Xavier though, she couldn’t see him reading anything so frivolous. Perhaps somethi
Solace In The Alpha's Embrace Xavier's little pet
Of all the screwed-up, shitty situations to find herself in. Still fuming, Annette stormed through the manor like all the hounds of hell marched at her heels. She had no real idea where she was going, and to be honest, she really didn’t care. All she wanted was to get as far from Xavier as physically possible. Her expression was like thunder, so dark and ominous that the staff scattered before her, even though they were full werewolf and she, apparently, was not. At the moment, though, she really didn’t care. One more asshole mentioned pack law and she’d tear them a new one, werewolf or frigging not.By the time she’d worked her way down to the kitchens, her usual refuge in times of stress, her anger had turned to misery and a hard knot formed in the back of her throat. Hearing voices ahead, she ducked into a storeroom and pulled the door shut. Leaning against it, she closed her eyes. As a human she hadn’t been good enough for Xavier, she’d known that— accepted that. But to find out
Solace In The Alpha's Embrace Pack law
“You were dying. What would you expect I do… Leave you there?” His expression was hard, like a whip. “Give me some credit, Annette. I wouldn’t let you die. Not while you’re in my care.”He hadn’t answered her question. His expression said he wasn’t going to. Anger flared and a snarl rumbled in the back of her throat. It wasn’t a human sound; that made no sense, but she was too pissed off to care.“Dammit, Xavier.” She slammed her hands into his broad chest and shoved. It was like trying to shove a cliff but he rocked back on his feet, surprise in his eyes. “Just give me a straight fucking answer.”He grabbed her wrists, yanked her up against him as he turned, pinning her between him and broad desk. The heat simmering through her veins turned volcanic, supercharged, and shot through her veins. Her body went pliant in his grasp, her curves against the hard muscled planes of his larger form. Damn traitorous thing.“Answer?” His voice was no less a snarl than hers had been. “I’ll give
Solace In The Alpha's Embrace Why?
“No, how the hell should I know how many can take a bite?” she admitted. And she didn’t have a clue. She knew werewolf carefully controlled who they bit, that they had to have permission from the pack alpha. Her auntie, wanting to sink her claws deeper into the Michaelson fortune, had petitioned Richard to turn them. All of them. She hadn’t even thought to ask her son and niece whether they wanted to be a werewolf or not. All she’d seen was a way to ensure she kept her place and access to the money she liked so much. Annette would have; she knew that without thinking. Anything to learn more about werewolf and perhaps get closer to Xavier. But the request had been denied by his father. Repeatedly. Eventually even Josephine had gotten the message. They weren’t good enough to be werewolf. A message which had been driven home hard and fast, and she still felt the sting of today.If she wasn’t good enough, why had Xavier transformed her?“Why?”Even standing on the other side of the desk
Solace In The Alpha's Embrace No way
Annette couldn’t be a werewolf. No way, no how.Sure, she’d woken up after her near death experience with abilities she hadn’t had before. Things like seeing smells, vision like a hawk, and hearing so accurate she could pinpoint a mouse farting three rooms away. So far though, there had been no hint of fur (apart from her legs, which were in desperate need of a shave after a week of inattention). New abilities though, didn’t mean she was a werewolf. She’d read somewhere that people who suffered head trauma sometimes gained completely new skills—like being able to speak a new language, play an instrument, or suddenly became an uber-smart math whiz. Acquired Savant Syndrome or something. Yeah, that had to be it. The accident that had nearly killed her had obviously left her with some side effects. A frown creased her brow. No one would tell her much about the accident either. All they would say was that she was lucky to be alive, and if she wanted more details then she needed to spea
Solace In The Alpha's Embrace Any sign?
He wasn’t strong enough to let her go. He couldn’t have her, but still he couldn’t release her to start a new life without him. Dammit. He closed his eyes, the weakness shaming him. He should send her away, but he couldn’t. Not yet. A presence behind him made him open his eyes and look up. He didn’t need to turn. The wolf, always alert, had already picked up the scent of another werewolf Male, with the unmistakable frisson only generated by another alpha, and a familiar scent.George. His second cousin, or something like that, on his father's side. An alpha himself, he’d joined the army right out of college and returned last year, bringing valuable medical training they sorely needed. Sure, Xavier could hire a private doctor, but there was nothing like a battlefield surgeon who understood how the werewolf body worked. “Any signs?” he asked over his shoulder.“Nothing yet. I have Ruth watching her for any changes.” George joined him at the window. Taller and broader in the shoulder,
