LOGIN"I don't know what I'm going to do!" Lilith sobbed. "I'm so angry at you...I'm so hurt...and I don't know if I can trust you...""Then don't trust us," Nicholas said, and he pulled out and flipped her onto her back. "Just feel this."He thrust back inside her and this time the angle was different, deeper, and Lilith's eyes rolled back."Feel how perfectly you fit around me," Nicholas continued, his hips snapping forward in a rhythm that made coherent thought impossible. "Feel how your body responds to mine. Feel the bond between us singing."Lilith could feel it. Could feel everything he was feeling through their connection....his guilt, his fear of losing her, his desperate love."I feel it," she whispered."And?" Nicholas demanded."And I don't know if it's enough."Nicholas groaned and his rhythm faltered. Then he pulled out and Sebastian was there immediately, entering her before she could catch her breath."What about this?" Sebastian asked, his hands gripping her hips hard enoug
"I can't think when you're...." Lilith's words dissolved into a moan as Nicholas's fingers curled inside her and found that spot that made stars burst behind her eyes."That's the point," Nicholas said against her ear. "We don't want you thinking. We want you feeling. Feeling what we do to you. Feeling what you do to us.""When Victoria comes for you in three days," Lucian said, and his hand came up to wrap around her throat gently...not squeezing, just holding, "are you going to go with her?""I don't...fuck..." Lilith could barely form words as Nicholas's fingers worked inside her and Sebastian's hands tormented her breasts."Answer him," Nicholas commanded."I don't know!" Lilith sobbed. "I don't know what I'm going to do!""Then let us convince you," Sebastian said.And then everything happened at once.Nicholas lifted her like she weighed nothing, Sebastian's hands were pulling at her dress, and within seconds she was naked and being carried toward the stairs with all three of th
"Why?" Lilith asked. "Why does it matter so much? You barely know me. We've known each other for weeks.....""Because you're ours," Lucian said, and his voice made her shiver. He had moved closer without her noticing and now he was right beside Sebastian, his gold eyes burning into hers. "Because the bonds say you belong with us.Because every instinct we have is screaming at us to keep you safe and claimed and ours.""That's not love," Lilith said. "That's possession.""It's both," Sebastian said simply. "And you feel it too. Stop pretending you don't."Lilith wanted to deny it. Wanted to tell them they were wrong. But the bonds were humming between them and she could feel her body responding to their proximity despite her anger, despite her pain, despite everything."The night your father died," Nicholas said quietly, still holding her pinned against his chest, "our father made a choice we didn't agree with. He chose pack safety over doing what was right. And we didn't question his
The silence that followed was deafening.Lilith looked at all three of them and saw the truth written on their faces....the guilt, the shame, the desperate need to deny what she was saying even though they could not."That's what I thought," she whispered.She turned to walk away but Nicholas moved faster than she could track, his hand closing around her upper arm and spinning her back to face him."You don't get to walk away from this," he said, and his eyes were burning gold now. "You don't get to run every time things get hard.""Let go of me.....""No." His grip tightened just slightly....not enough to hurt but enough to keep her in place. "You want the truth? Fine. We'll give you the truth. All of it. But you're going to stand here and listen.""I don't want to hear anything you have to say....""Too bad." Sebastian moved to her other side, boxing her in. "Because you're going to hear it anyway. Starting with what actually happened the night your father died."Lilith tried to pul
The ride back to the estate was suffocating.Lilith sat in the back of the SUV wedged between Sebastian and Lucian while Nicholas sat at the front with Finn drove, and no one spoke. The silence pressed down on her like a physical weight, made worse by the bonds threading through her....Nicholas's steady presence, Sebastian's warmth....both of them reaching for her even now, trying to comfort her when comfort was the last thing she wanted.Your father was murdered. The Blackwood family is responsible.Victoria's words kept circling in her head like vultures.We were there when he died.The brothers' admission felt like a knife twisting in her chest.Seven months. Her father had been dead for seven months and these men....these men who had marked her, claimed her, bound themselves to her, had been there when it happened. Had watched him die. And they had never told her.Through the bonds she could feel their emotions, Nicholas's carefully controlled guilt, Sebastian's desperate need to
The sound Lilith made was inhuman. Pure grief and betrayal and rage all twisted together. She stumbled backward and Victoria caught her, wrapped her arms around her, held her while she shattered."You lied to me," Lilith sobbed. "All of you. You said you were investigating. You said you didn't know.....""We are investigating," Sebastian said desperately. "We're trying to find out exactly what happened Lilith. We didn't understand the full picture...""You were there and you didn't tell me!" Lilith's scream cut him off. "You marked me! You bonded with me! And the whole time you knew you were there when my father died and you said NOTHING!""We were going to tell you," Nicholas said, and his voice was raw. "When the time was right....""When?!" Lilith demanded through her tears. "After the third bond? After you'd tied me to you completely? When I couldn't leave even if I wanted to?""You can always leave," Lucian said quietly. "The bonds don't trap you. You can walk away any time you w
I barely had time to catch my breath before Sebastian was pulling me up again, his large hands gripping my waist with bruising force."Not done with you yet," he rumbled, positioning me on my hands and knees on the center of the massive bed. "Need to feel that tight pussy again."My arms were shaki
I lay on the bed, completely wrecked, my body trembling with aftershocks. Cum leaked out of me, making a mess on the silk sheets. Every muscle ached. I'd come more times in the past hour than I had in my entire life.And they said that was just the warm-up."Look at her," Lucian said, his voice fil
He stayed where he was until the gold light faded from the air.Then he stood up.Looked at the estate.Looked at the shattered windows on the upper floor.And said nothing.Mara was in the corridor outside Lilith's suite when the crack ran through the floor beneath her feet.She put her hand flat
Something moved in his expression. Relief and want and something that wasn't either. He pulled her down and started pounding harder chasing his own release, he thrusted once, twice and spilled inside her. Nicholas followed seconds later with a sound that came out not sounding like his at all.She l
