LOGINMarcusAshton and Sebastian took the kids. I love my twins more than life itself, but I am not stupid—I know exactly how to appreciate some rare alone time with my mate when the opportunity strikes.”Babe, come here…” I murmur, opening my arms wide for Lucas the second he walks back into our apartment after helping set up the stroller.”What are you up to?” Lucas asks, giving me a mock-serious face, but his eyes are smirking and he is already melting straight into my chest.”I was thinking… that we should really make the most of this quiet house…” I whisper, leaning in to press a lingering kiss to the mark on his neck.Lucas shivers in my arms, and the world outside the bedroom simply disappears.”That was exactly what I needed…” Lucas sighs with contentment, resting his head against my shoulder as we lie naked together.I pull him closer, enjoying the warmth and the rare silence of the apartment. Nothing makes me happier than seeing my mate truly relaxed and happy.”But seriously, Ma
SebastianOur alarm blares, and we both let out a synchronized, miserable groan.”Ten more minutes…” Ashton grumbles against my neck, his voice a low, raspy rumble.I reach over to hit the snooze button and gently roll us over, shifting until I am lying completely on top of my gorgeous husband. He instantly responds by wrapping his arms around me, holding me tight against his skin. I nuzzle into the comforting warmth of his chest, breathing in his scent, and let out a deeply content sigh.”Love you” I murmur against his heartbeat.”Love you more” he breathes back, and we both effortlessly drift back to sleep.When the alarm rings again, I finally force myself into a sitting position to shut it off for good. I turn back to look at my mate, my heart swelling at the sight. He has already fallen back into a deep sleep, his muscular arms thrown lazily above his head. He looks absolutely divine, framed by the soft morning light. Fuck, he’s all mine.I decide to let him sleep a little longer
”Love…” I start, not quite sure how to say what’s on my mind.Sebastian really knows me and he once again lifts his upper body to look at me.”Babe, I can sense this is important, let me get up, I want to see your face while we talk” he says and I get off of him.We sit and lean against the headboard. I pull the balnket over our legs.”Okay, now, tell me” Sebastian softly says, lacing our fingers together.I stare at him, once again amazed about him.”I love you so much” I mumble and lean closer to kiss him first.”I love you too babe” Sebastian replies against my lips.”Okay…” I sigh deeply.”Now that we are trying to have a family of our own… I have really been thinking about my own background. And I would like to travel to my childhood hometown and even visit the pack where my father was from. I would like to know if I have any relatives there.” I let it all out and hold my breath, looking at Sebastian.”Babe, I think that’s a great idea.” Sebastian smiles tenderly and leans closer
Ashton’s eyes snap up instantly. The soft gaze of the artist vanishes, and his pupils dilate until his eyes darken with pure, unadulterated desire. A predatory stillness settles over him.”Love?” he asks, his voice dropping into a husky, low growl that vibrates straight to my core.”Yes” I whisper.In a blink of an eye, the space between us evaporates. Before I can even draw another breath, my hands are pinned firmly above my head against the chaise. Ashton’s heavy, muscular weight presses down on me, trapping my body beneath his. His face hovers a mere inch above mine, his hot breath fanning across my lips, sending a jolt of liquid fire straight down my spine.”You are driving me wild” he whispers, the words raw and desperate against my skin.Then, he crashes his lips against mine.It is explosive. Electric. A supernova of heat and teeth and tongues that sets my entire soul ablaze. The taste of him is everything, a desperate, greedy reassurance that we belong to each other. He kisses
As the movie scenery fills the screen, we both settle deeper into the cushions, instantly getting back into the film. It doesn’t take long for the onscreen wolf pack to make their grand entrance, and that is exactly when Aiden’s inner critic wakes up."Okay, mathematically and biologically, absolutely not…” he mutters, leaning forward and squinting at the TV.I chuckle, nudging his ribs with my elbow. "What? You're telling me wolves the size of pickup trucks aren't historically accurate?”"It’s not just the size…” Aiden says. "But the behavior is all wrong. Real wolves—and honestly, even the legends of shapeshifters—rely on tight-knit family structures and subtle posturing. They don't just aggressively crash through fences and snarl at their friends twenty-four-seven to prove a point. It’s entirely inefficient.”"Real legends, huh?" I tease, turning my head to look at him. His tone is remarkably matter-of-fact. My amusement transitions into genuine curiosity. "So... what else did
But watching him, a sudden realization hits me like a physical wave. I look at his clothes hanging neatly next to mine, the dark fabrics blending into my colorful mess."You know…” I say softly, the humor evaporating from my voice."I never let Chad stay the night here. Not once. And I definitely never let him keep his clothes at my place. His ego took up enough room on its own."Aiden pauses, turning to look at me, his eyes entirely focused."Looking at your stuff in my closet now..." I swallow hard, the sudden clarity washing over me. "I finally realize how toxic that whole relationship was. I never trusted him. Not even to leave a spare pair of socks here." I shake my head, instantly kicking myself for letting the ghost of my ex ruin the mood. "God, I'm sorry, Aiden. Total buzzkill. I shouldn't be bringing him up right now.” I rub my face with my palms.Aiden walks over, effortlessly closing the distance between us, and gently takes my hands. "Hey, don't apologize. You're proces
"How are you feeling babe?" I tenderly ask my mate."Are you serious right now?" He’s appalled by my question."Sebastian, I thought I lost you. I had no idea where you were and what was happening to you. And when I finally found you, you were on the brink of death, almost unconscious when I got to
Cassian, can you link Gabriel?He's unconscious, I think too much wolfsbane. He's still alive, but barely."Cassian said that Gabriel is unconscious from the wolfsbane. He's barely alive" I exclaim anxiously."Okay, everyone take your positions!" Weston orders quietly. The rest of our rescue team
Third person povI look at the time again, why the fuck doesn’t he have a boner yet?Why isn’t the essence working?! It has worked before so I know its’s the right substance.I scream out loud in frustration.”I suppose I just have to give you a hand job first to get you hard and ready for me to fu
”Do you think, that we need, like someone professional help, to deal this?” I whisper.Ashton lifts his head up to look at me in the eyes.”I think it is not a bad idea” he replies seriously.”This..kidnapping..was something that I can’t even describe with words, I don’t want this experience to cru
