The Chase Chapter 20
BlakeJust as I’m fastening my cufflinks, there is a gentle rap on the door, and it opens slowly. Zoe peeks her head in to make sure I’m alone, before pushing it open and stepping through the doorway. I knew she was on her way, but despite that, the sight of her smiling face makes me melt.Her honey-blonde hair is down for a change and flows over her shoulders, teasing the bare skin of her chest and back as she moves. She’s wearing a form-fitting red dress that shows just enough cleavage to render me speechless, but remains classy. It shows her long legs off to perfection, finished with a pair of nude heels that look like they could be lethal weapons in the right hands.“You look stunning,” I say as she walks inside.Zoe steps near to me, standing toe to toe before reaching for the cufflinks, which I drop into her hand silently. She turns my wrist over and fixes one, then the other, without looking up. The sensitive skin tingles from her touch and I watch, mesmerized, as she concentra
The Chase Chapter 21
ZoeBlake looks much healthier than he did when I left him a couple of hours ago, but he’s still not radiating the normal level of confidence that I’m used to from him. He might hide it, but he’s still not well enough to be leaving the clinic.Parking the car, he rubs the bridge of his nose between his thumb and index finger, blinking hard.“Are you ok?” I ask, reaching over to stroke the back of his neck. He should be resting. Blake tips his head back further into my touch and closes his eyes. He doesn’t need to say anything. I know he’s not.“Just tired.” He fixes me with a dazzling smile, but it’s forced for my sake. He doesn't even believe that himself. “Let’s get this over with and go to bed,” I say, and he perks up at that suggestion, raising an eyebrow and making me blush.Shoving the door open, he climbs out into the quickly darkening evening and walks around to my side to open the door. I could get used to this.Once again, I find myself admiring how handsome he is. His dark
The Chase Chapter 22
ZoeThere’s silence as I reach the bathroom door, and I rest my fingers on the handle. This is definitely where the noise came from, but none of the pack have come to investigate.“Blake?” I whisper as I push the door open gently. There’s something behind it, and I have to use my weight to push it open far enough for me to slip inside. My first thought is that Blake has fainted and knocked something over, and the shattered remnants of a vase on the floor suggest that I’m on the right track. Stepping over the flowers and the shards of porcelain, I close the door over behind me to give us some privacy. As I turn, though, I realise my mistake. It’s not Blake. Or rather, it is Blake, but not in his usual form. “Blake, are you alright?” I can’t believe I’m now talking to this massive animal and fully accepting that it was my date for the evening a few short minutes ago. His beautiful suit lies torn on the floor. Glowing silvery eyes assess me coolly as I reverse slowly, edging backward
The Chase Chapter 23
Blake Lights and colours dance in front of my eyes as I try to get my bearings. I’ve lived in this territory my entire life. I know this place like the back of my hand but somehow, I’m struggling to get a fix on exactly where I am. Disorientated, I trip over a log, landing on my snout in the cold, damp leaves. Climbing back onto four paws, I growl in frustration. My physical prowess is something I take for granted. The thought that even this is being stolen from me is terrifying. As I turn around, my heart racing, I concentrate on trying to work out exactly where am I. I spot the old tree, toppled over but still alive twenty years after the storm that we all thought had destroyed it. No longer lost at least, I can’t help but take some comfort from the thought that things might not always be as bad as they seem. And right now, they look pretty fucking bleak. I know I saw someone outside the window. I recognised his scent. Then why the fuck can I not find him? Could the madness reall
The Chase Chapter 24
ZoeBlake stands, running his hands up my bare thighs as he does, before gripping my hips and turning me toward the open bedroom door and the bathroom just inside. For the first time, I take in his suite, and it’s not decorated how I imagined it would be. I pictured dark, rich tones and masculine, oversized furniture, but it’s not like that at all. It’s bright and airy, with an enormous wall of glass at one end. The stars shine brightly, and the still almost full moon is big enough in the sky that it floods the open plan space with plenty of light to see by.Blake steps past me and leans into the luxurious shower to turn it on, the hot skin on his chest tickling my skin as he leans in close. He rests a hand on my waist as he tests the temperature, and I tip my head back to rest on his shoulder, sighing contentedly. After today, I crave being near him. He might have slowed down my plans, but I’m happy to be close to him.He keeps his hand on me as he straightens and drops the shorts t
The Chase Chapter 25
ZoeBlake growls quietly in approval. I reach between us and take his thick length in my hand, eliciting a grunt from him. I ache for him to be inside my body, one with me, but he shifts out of my grasp, picking up the speed of his thrusts, adding another finger, and using his other hand to rub my clit in sync. He’s not willing to give me back control just yet.I tilt my hips to give him better access, savouring the feeling of the warm water running over my heated skin as it continues to rain down on us.“That’s it, Zoe,” he whispers, making my head spin with sensual kisses and his body pressed up to mine. He brings me closer and closer to release. I gasp and squirm, trying to escape the sensations washing over me. One of which is his overpowering desire for me. To own me and make me his. It makes no sense that I can feel it, but I know in my mind it’s real. It’s so intense.“Stop Blake, stop,” I call out and he immediately halts, pulling his head back and looking down at me with conc
The Chase Chapter 26
ZoeIt takes me a second to realise where I am when I wake up. Stretching an arm out across the cool sheets, I frown when I don’t find Blake’s warm body beside me. Gripping the bed sheet in one hand, I sit up and squint into the darkness, listening for him in the ensuite. Silence.I swing my feet over the side of the bed and stand, wrapping the sheet loosely around me as I tiptoe out into the living area. It’s not as dark out here. The silvery moonlight reflecting through the massive windows gives enough light to see by. I can make out Blake’s tall silhouette, leaning against the glass, his head resting on one forearm. The plains of his taut body are on full display, only hidden by the dark pair of boxer briefs he’s slipped back on.As I walk up to his side, with the sheet trailing behind me, he wordlessly extends his arm to the side for me to slip under before closing it around my waist. He pulls me to his side and leans down to drop a kiss on the top of my head.“Did I wake you?” he
The Chase Chapter 27
Blake“Maybe I can come and work for you?” I joke with a grimace as I lead Zoe downstairs, reluctant to leave the bubble of my suite. Leaving my bed was torture. I long to steal away and hide away with my mate, enjoying every inch of each other’s bodies as a normal wolf pairing does. She looks stunning, dressed in a simple cream jumper that sets off her golden tan, and fitted jeans that show off her delicious curves. Zoe seems to think she’s underdressed, but it doesn’t take much to polish a diamond. No matter what she is wearing, she shines. Her beauty doesn’t need flashy clothes or layers of makeup.Zoe grips my hand tighter as we walk into the pack dining hall, and I lead her toward the table at the back where I usually sit. Max is there, along with senior wolves from my pack and some of the council members. At first, I think it’s because she’s nervous about us potentially getting a grilling about what went on last night. Or intimidated by being surrounded by an entire room full o
