I wanted him in my mouth. I wanted him inside me. I was a slave to this new sensation, willing to do anything for more. He smiled his sultry, come-on smile, and heat uncurled in my abdomen.“You have me now,” he said, palming my ass. “Your wish is my command." My mouth crashed against his. The kiss was cruel, devouring every will to resist and every desire to be reasonable about the fact that this was an office space. His lips sent a sharp, wild need through me, leaving me wanting and allowing me to push all else from my mind. He cradled my head in his hands and kissed me again and again. His tongue warred with mine, invading my mouth with a wet heat and working its magic
I glanced at the clock. There were still hours until morning. I opened the fridge and grabbed a bottle of ice-cold water, then sat on the plastic chair and pressed it against my thighs, hoping to cool down. I held it there until my fingers went numb from the cold, but even that couldn't chase the heat away.I'd never felt this helpless before. I wanted to scream, but I clamped a hand over my mouth instead. My shoulders shook as I fought to stay quiet, tears slipping down my cheeks. I wiped them away and forced myself to breathe. Crying never changed anything, and I hated myself for doing it anyway.Every scent seemed sharper. Even my own scent smelled different.By morning, I'd barely slept. Heaviness dragged through my body, leaving my legs weak and my head aching. Getting dressed took longer than usual as I tried to hide the shadows beneath my eyes, changing outfits until I found something that wouldn't cling to my skin.I forced myself to eat, then tied my hair away from my neck, e
Isabella POVThe silence between Harrison and me had reached the point where we simply didn't speak to each other anymore. Iris stopped pretending she didn't notice and tried bringing it up several times."You two barely look at each other. Did something happen at work?”I fished my keys from my bag. "No.""Did you reject his advances?"I shook my head."Then what happened?""Why don't you ask him?" I said, opening my door and heading into my room.Later that evening, she sent a text.Come to my room. I want to show you something.I looked down at the purple sleepwear I was wearing, one of the few things I'd bought with my first salary. I tied the rope around my waist and headed to her room. I opened the door without knocking and found Harrison sprawled across the only chair, flipping through television channels with the remote in one hand while eating roasted peanuts with the other.He sat up when he saw me."I'll be right back," he told Iris.Iris stepped in front of him."You're n
Isabella POV "Guess we can stop pretending now."Wesley's words made me nudge him, silently begging him not to make this worse. But Wesley, in his usual fashion, didn't seem to care.With Harrison standing there, the covered plate still in his hands, I didn't know what to say, except that I had somehow turned everything into a tangled mess. How could I explain that the future Alpha was my mate? That he was the man I couldn't stop thinking about? That we'd already been kissing long before Wesley singled Harrison out?"Good evening, Alpha Wesley."Harrison straightened and cleared his throat. His voice stayed level.He held the plate toward me."I brought you some food."I reached for it, but my hands shook so badly the plate almost slipped."Thank you," I whispered.He nodded and walked away. Wesley wore a knowing grin as Harrison's footsteps faded down the corridor."Why does he look so shocked? Didn't see that coming, did he?"I closed my eyes and dragged in a breath. Wesley raised
Isabella POVThe breeze pouring through the open windows tossed my hair, cooling my scalp as I sat in the passenger seat while Wesley drove us back to the staff lodge. Maverick drifted between sleep and wakefulness in the back seat. The poor kid had been running around since morning, and I knew he would sleep for hours the moment his head touched a pillow. He still clutched the plastic dinosaur Wesley had bought him, and I knew he wouldn't forget today for a very long time.It almost brought tears to my eyes. Not long ago, the two of us had been trapped in my father's house. All my son had known was fear and how to run into my arms whenever voices got too loud. At least he wouldn't grow up reliving my life. We would build one of our own.The silence in the car felt easy, making me wish the drive would never end."We could stop by my place for a while," Wesley said, so casually it almost felt as though he'd read my mind. One hand rested on the steering wheel while the other tapped agai
Isabella POVThe relief on Harrison's face as he dropped into the chair beside my desk made me hide a smile. He looked like someone who had just won the lottery."He approved it," he said, still sounding like he couldn't believe it himself. "He said, GOOD JOB. The same report he rejected twice."I smiled into my coffee. "See? I told you it would work out."Harrison kept shaking his head. "It was like someone swapped him overnight. I swear that fucker is bipolar. It's like he has a switch in his head."I pretended to share his confusion, but my thoughts drifted elsewhere. All I could think about was Wesley's hands, the softness of his lips, and my body wanting more.I hid the smile threatening to betray me behind my mug."Let's just hope he never remembers I exist again," Harrison muttered, making me chuckle.That was the beginning of my ravenous desire for Wesley's touch.I found reasons to pass by his office, and he too always found reasons to send cues that he was free, pulling me b
Lisa“What’s wrong with him?” I whispered to my mom as we watched Alpha Kieran stare into the distance from the terrace.“I don’t know. He’s been this way since he returned. Perhaps he received bad news.”My heart skipped. “You know you don’t have to hide anything from me. If this is about Cameron,
Lisa POVCameron’s silver jeep occupied the front drive. The guards stood at the perimeter, their usual casual stance abandoned for rigid vigilance. I stepped out of my car and ignored the weight pressing against my chest.Voices drifted from the dining room. I walked toward the entrance and stoppe
Nadia “Open your eyes.”Desmond covered my face and whispered near my ear. “Don’t peek.”“I’m not peeking.”“You always peek.”“That was one time.”He laughed and stepped away.“Alright. Look.”I opened my eyes. A car waited in the driveway, polished to a mirror shine. A red ribbon stretched acros
LisaMy mom talked nonstop the entire ride back to the safe house, her voice filling the car. She kept turning her head toward the windows like she still couldn’t believe she could see, pointing out everything passing outside.“Street signs. Look at that shop. Oh, the traffic lights are so bright.
