ログインThe moment the penthouse door shut, Alistair’s restraint evaporated.
He pinned her against the door, his large, calloused hand sliding up to grip the back of her neck with a terrifying but delicious pressure, and he slanted his lips over hers again.
He was rough, but in a calculated way that made her body melt.
She whimpered as his large, calloused hands slid up her thighs, bunching up her skirt until his palms met bare skin. And at the same time, his lips kissed down, finding the sensitive dip of her collarbone.
He pulled back, stripping her and looking down at her like she was a rare steak and he was starving. “Goddess… You have no idea what you’re doing to me," he growled, his voice low, vibrating against her skin. "I’ve spent thirty-eight years in control, Solange. And you broke it in a single second."
He lifted her, and her legs instinctively wrapped around his waist as he carried her toward the massive king-sized bed, his kisses becoming more frantic, more starved.
When they hit the silk sheets, the contrast was jarring: her pale, trembling body against the dark, expensive linens.
She watched as he quickly stripped, revealing a body that made her mouth water: broad shoulders, a defined chest, and arms corded with muscle. She let out a tiny gasp when she got to his cock. It was so thick she knew he’d be a challenge taking him in… just the way she liked it.
When he moved over her, the sheer heat radiating from him made her breath hitch.
He took his time exploring her, his mouth trailing fire over her breasts and down her stomach.
Solange arched into him, her fingers digging into his shoulders; her body felt like it had been waiting for him since the moment she was born. Every touch felt like a homecoming.
"Look at me," he commanded when she closed her eyes with bliss. His eyes were no longer bright blue; they were a dark, swirling midnight. "Tell me you want this."
"I want you," she breathed, the words a jagged plea. "Please …"
He moved lower, his large hands parting her thighs, his gaze dark and appreciative.
She let out a high-pitched moan, her hips bucking off the bed when his tongue gave her clit a slow, devastating stroke.
His mouth worked her with a relentless, hungry rhythm, then he slid two thick fingers inside her, stretching her slick walls, his movements deliberate and firm as if he were memorizing every inch of her, ramping her pleasure higher.
Just as she thought she couldn't take any more, he hooked his fingers and pressed into her G-spot, sending a jolt of electricity straight to her core. At the same moment, he increased the suction on her clit.
The dual assault was too much. Solange’s fingers tangled in his salt-and-pepper hair, her back arching as she let out a broken, high-pitched moan. The tension coiled tight in her belly before finally snapping, a violent, total-body orgasm that left her shaking and breathless.
“God, her old roommate had been right,” she thought. “Older men were actually better. They knew the map of a woman’s pleasure better than she knew it herself.”
He leaned over her and slid into her with a slow, agonizing thrust.
Solange cried out, her fingers digging into his shoulders as his thick girth sent a mix of sharp pain and an overwhelming, soul-deep fullness.
He froze, his forehead resting against hers, his breath coming in ragged hitches. "I've got you," he whispered, his voice tender though it was strained. "Just breathe for me."
"Fuck... please…" she begged, her head tossing on the pillow. She couldn’t even put into words what she wanted. All she knew was that she wanted something… specific that would ground her, that would make her pleasure complete.
As if reading her mind, he reached up, closing one hand around her throat. It wasn't enough to hurt, but it was firm enough to make her gasp, her airway tightening just enough to send a rush of adrenaline through her veins, making other sensations explode.
He watched her face as he started thrusting in and out of her, his gaze possessive and dark. “Good girl,” he growled out, rocking deeper into her. “You take me in so well.”
All she could do was moan; her brain had disconnected from other functions except the exquisite pleasure bordered on pain she was currently feeling.
He smirked down at her, his eyes filled with satisfaction, then he grabbed one leg, bent it to her chest, and the pain vanished, replaced by an exquisite, building tension.
The world narrowed down to the friction of skin, the sound of their combined breathing, and the strange, golden light she felt behind her eyelids.
Solange buried her face in the crook of his neck, her back arching as she let out a broken, high-pitched moan. The tension coiled tight in her belly before snapping in a violent, total-body orgasm that left her shaking and breathless.
"That’s my good girl," he rasped, his voice a low, gravelly vibration in her ear. "Your pussy grips me so good, baby. You feel like heaven."
Solange could barely think. The praise was like a drug, making her heart swell even as her body shivered with the aftermath of her orgasm, her walls convulsing around his length.
Without giving her time to recover, he turned her shivering, sensitive body onto her side, pulling her back against his chest in a sideways position. Then he reached around, his hand finding her throat again, cutting off most of her oxygen.
She whimpered in pleasure as the world turned fuzzy at the edges. She felt lightheaded, like she was floating in a sea of pure sensation, as he started moving inside her again; his thrusts hit her g-spot head-on with every deep stroke.
"You like that? Only I can make you feel this good," he growled, his breath hot against her neck. "Tell me you're mine."
Solange couldn't form words. Her moans became slurred and incoherent as she slipped into a blissful headspace where nothing existed but his voice and the way he owned her.
She was oversensitized, every nerve ending screaming, and when the next climax hit, it was the most intense yet.
Alistair let out a guttural moan of his own, his muscles locking as her spasming walls clamped down on him almost painfully. He found his own release, pouring himself into the condom with a force that left them both spent.
"I’ve never felt anything like that in my life," he panted against her skin, his voice thick with wonder. "What is it about you that drives me so crazy? Why am I so intoxicated by you?"
Solange only heard him through a fog of post-coital bliss. Then she felt him gently clean her up before pulling her into a tight, protective cuddle.
For the first time in her life, she felt completely safe and cherished. As she drifted off to sleep in his arms, she truly believed the nightmare of her life was finally over.
Marcus stiffened as his alpha slowly turned his head to look at him."You guys know I can hear you, right?" Alistair asked, his voice hollow and exhausted. "I am not some rabid dog that you want to put down."Adrian sighed loudly over the phone. "Well, we are just being careful, Ali. We do not think that of you. You know that.""Yeah, I understand," Alistair muttered. He turned his back to Marcus and stared up at the dark window of Solana's apartment once again.Marcus ended the call and slipped the phone into his pocket. He looked at his Alpha, a rare shiver of worry trembling in his chest.Alistair Vance was easily one of the most steady, stable, and terrifyingly calm people Marcus had ever met in his entire life. Marcus vividly remembered the dark years of the pack. After the unfortunate, tragic death of Alistair's mother, the old Alpha had completely withdrawn into his grief. Alistair's father had practically gone feral, neglecting his son and his pack entirely.But Alistair had
"Marcus just reached out to me," Adrian said, his voice crackling over the phone line with deep, undeniable concern. "He is worried, Ali. What exactly is going on over there?"Alistair barely seemed to hear him. “Nothing.”“Nothing?” Adrian repeated. “Ali, Marcus said you’ve been out there for more than a day.”“Then Marcus talks too much.”“Are you listening to me?”Alistair dragged a hand through his hair and stared at the building across the street. “I need to speak to her.”Alistair paced the shadowed sidewalk beneath the glow of a flickering streetlamp. He ran a trembling hand through his messy hair. “I know you do,” Adrian replied, his voice softening with pity. “But you can’t keep doing this.”“Doing what?”“Whatever the hell you’re doing right now,” he hissed. “You’re sitting outside someone’s residence like a man waiting for a target to emerge from a bunker.”“I’m not waiting for a target.”“Then what are you waiting for?”Alistair said nothing.Adrian exhaled slowly. “Have
Alistair pressed the accept button on the steering wheel console and the call connected through the vehicle's Bluetooth speakers. Immediately, a chaotic wall of sound filled the quiet, luxurious cabin of the SUV. "What is going on?" Sterling shouted, his voice layered with pure outrage. "What does the lawyer mean someone else is stalling this will reading?" Portia shrieked at the exact same time, her pitch piercing and shrill. Their voices overlapped into a loud, indiscernible mess of complaints and demands. Alistair let them yell for a few seconds, leaning his head back against the leather headrest. A dry, humorless chuckle finally escaped his lips. "It is nice to hear both of you back together." "That is not the point of this call, Uncle Ali," Sterling snarled, cutting through the noise. "Stop deflecting and tell us what is happening." "Yeah," Portia chimed in aggressively. "Mr. Hayes just called us. He said an extra person has officially refused to participate in th
"Are you absolutely sure she is not in?" Alistair asked, keeping his voice as steady and polite as possible. Alistair glanced past her into the reception area. The studio was busy. He could see employees moving between the floors, clients being ushered toward fitting rooms, racks of fabric being pushed across the open space. Everything looked normal. Everything except the fact that Solana wasn’t there. Or at least, nobody was letting him see her. “Are you sure?” Annabelle nodded quickly. “Yes, sir.” Alistair let out a slow, measured sigh. He could tell Annabel was telling the truth. But then again sensing the truth could be a complicated thing. She could be telling half a truth or the version of the truth she believed. Given the disastrous way they had parted, Solana banning him from the premises was completely understandable. Still, he needed to see her. Just once. He needed to explain. Or maybe he simply needed to stand in front of her long enough to know she was al
Solana had absolutely no memory of the drive.She just blinked, her vision slowly pulling into focus, and realized she was sitting in her parked car directly in front of her apartment building. The engine was already turned off. The interior of the vehicle was completely dark, save for the relentless, blinding glow of her cell phone screen resting in the passenger seat.It was ringing again. Alistair was calling her for the seventh time.She did not reach for it. She simply stared at the flashing name, her chest rising and falling in shallow, erratic gasps.She was completely broken. Everything inside of her was fracturing into jagged, unfixable pieces. The revelation echoed violently in her skull. Her father was Richard Grey. He was a billionaire. He had known she was alive. He had known exactly where she was while she was starving in roach-infested motels, while she was being hunted by debt collectors, and while she was being sold on an auction block.And Alistair had known all
Alistair winced visibly as her words hit him like physical blows. "Do not put it like that,” he rasped. “It was more than that. You are my mate.” “Oh now you know,” she sneered. “I had no idea you were my mate until you bathed and washed the scent suppressor off you,” he desperately explained. “A wolf cannot identify their mate until they smell their true natural scent. I was still processing that shocking info when the PI’s message came in and I saw you were who I was searching for all.” His voice softened. “I realized you were his daughter, and I panicked." "You panicked??" Solana asked, tears of rage finally spilling down her cheeks. "When I panic, I run away. I do not ruin people's lives because I am scared." Alistair winced again, unable to find the words to defend his past actions. "You called me dirty," she snarled, furiously wiping tears rolling down her cheeks. "You called me disgusting." "No, that was not what I meant," Alistair pleaded softly. "I meant the situa
Solange looked at him, her brows furrowing as confusion rose alongside irritation. If he wanted to insult her, he could have done it outright. “What are you talking about?” she bit back. “What smell? I literally just took a bath.” He shook his head; his eyes had a faraway look, like he wasn’t hear
Solange woke slowly, her body aching in all the ways that made her heart flutter and a strange humming in her chest. Her head was foggy, but she felt a calm she had never known, like she was connected to something that had been missing all her life. She felt… claimed, as if the night had somehow gi
"Sol! Table four needs a server," the manager barked. "And don't look him in the eye."Solange nodded and quickly hurried down the corridor to the VIP lounge of the Sapphire Heights, wrinkling her nose at the smell of expensive cigars and the heavy, humid scent of a desert storm rolling over the Ve
Solange felt a literal snap in the center of her chest as she stared at the heavy oak doors. It wasn’t the metaphoric ache of a breakup. It was a white-hot blade of agony carved through her ribs, twisting around her heart and pulling tight.She tried to scream, but the air in her lungs had turned t
