LOGINSONYA'S POVI wake up sore in the best way possible.Reign's wrapped around me like an octopus, one arm across my chest, one leg thrown over mine, his face buried in my hair. It's possessive and adorable and makes me feel safe in a way I've never felt before.Through our new bond, I can feel his contentment. He's still asleep, but even unconscious, he's aware of me.I squirm slightly, and his arm tightens."Don't move," he mumbles into my hair."I need to pee, Reign.""No, you don't.""Yes, I do. Very badly."He groans but releases me. "Fine. But come back immediately.""So demanding.""You love it."A small smile lifts my lips. He's not wrong.I push off the bed and stumble to the bathroom, my legs shaky. When I catch sight of myself in the mirror, I freeze.There's a very visible mark on my neck. A claim mark that announces to everyone that I'm mated."Oh goddess," I whisper, touching it."Problem?" Reign appears in the doorway, completely unconcerned with his own nakedness."You m
SONYA'S POVI start moving properly then, rising and dropping in a rhythm that matches his upward thrusts, the sound of it obscene and perfect in the silence of the room. His hand stays on my ass, gripping and occasionally spanking, each impact sending a rush of heat straight to my core."Fuck," he growls, his voice rough, his eyes raking over me. "Look at you. Riding my cock like you own it. Like this is exactly where you've always belonged.""Maybe it is," I gasp."No maybe about it." He reaches between us and presses his thumb to my clit, hard and direct with no buildup. "You're going to come on top of me, Sonya. And you're going to look at me when you do it. Don't close your eyes."I keep them open. It's almost unbearable, holding his gaze while the pleasure crests, but I do it, and when I tip over the edge his name comes out of me like a plea and a hint of triumph crosses his face.He sits up without warning, wrapping his arms around me so I'm seated in his lap, facing him, still
SONYA'S POV"You can." His fingers press harder, his cock driving deeper. "Give it to me."He's right. I can. It builds faster this time, coiling hot and tight, and when it breaks it's harder than the first, my whole body shaking, a sound coming out of me that doesn't even sound like my own voice.He follows me into it with a rough, guttural groan, his hips slamming into mine as he comes, his fingers digging into my skin, his chest pressed so hard against my back I can feel his heartbeat.We collapse sideways onto the mattress, both of us breathing hard.For a long moment, neither of us speaks. His arm is around my waist, his lips pressed to the back of my neck, his cock still inside me, softening."Still alive?" he says eventually."Barely." I manage to roll over to face him. "You said you had a list."His eyes darken again. "I did.""How long is it?""Very." He pulls me closer, his hand tracing down my spine. "We've barely started."He rolls onto his back, pulling me with him so I'm
SONYA'S POV"Good girl." His hands part my thighs slightly, and then his mouth is on me, and I stop being capable of coherent thought.He takes his time. He's thorough and intentional, learning what makes me gasp versus what makes me whimper versus what makes my knees buckle, and he catalogs all of it with the focused patience of someone building toward something specific. His tongue works my clit in slow, firm strokes while two fingers push inside me, curling to find that spot, and the combination is devastating."Oh fuck," I breathe, my hands fisting in his hair. "R-Reign, I'm going to…"He pulls back."No," I nearly sob."Not yet." He stands, wiping his mouth with the back of his hand, his eyes wicked. "I told you. I made a list."He straightens to his full height and strips off the rest of his clothes with unhurried efficiency, and I lie back gently, watching him.I've seen him before, pieces of him, glimpses, but not like this, not with the light full on him, fully naked, with no
SONYA'S POVHell no."I don't want to wait," I whisper.His eyes go dark, hungry. "Thank fuck."He kisses me, and it's different from before. Deeper. More certain. Like he's pouring everything he's been holding back into this one kiss, all the fear, the relief, the ravenous love that's been building between us since that night in his father's garden when he caught me hiding in the bushes like a complete psycho.I kiss him back just as hard, my hands tangling in his hair."Sonya," he breathes against my lips. "If we do this, there's no going back. You'll be mine forever. Can you handle that?""Can you handle being stuck with me forever?" I tease."Baby, I'm already stuck with you. Have been since the moment you signed my contract." He nips at my lower lip. "This just makes it official.""Then let's make it official."He doesn't need to be told twice.His fingers hook into the hem of my shirt, his shirt actually, one I have no intention of returning, and pull it over my head. He tosses
SONYA'S POVReign drops his arm from his eyes and looks at the ceiling instead. "I made an unbreakable oath, Sonya. Witnessed by Seer Elric, sealed in blood."Oh goddess.I wait, not reacting yet."If Garrick's information led to your rescue, I have to reinstate him to the Grey Crest Pack. Full privileges, complete immunity from all legal consequences." The words come out even, measured, like he's already had this argument with himself a hundred times. "I added one condition. If he proves a continued threat to the pack, the immunity is void. But otherwise, he walks free."I stare at him.He's still looking at the ceiling."You made that deal," I say carefully, "while I was sitting in a cell in the Czech mountains?""Yes.""While I had no idea any of it was happening?""Yes.""Reign." I reach over and touch his jaw, turning his face toward mine. "I'm not angry. I just need to understand."He meets my eyes, and I see it there, the guilt, the self-recrimination, the part of him that's be
SONYA'S POVReign and I are on our way back from the lake when his phone suddenly rings through the car’s speakers."Alpha," Landon's voice fills the car, tense. "We have a situation."Reign's entire demeanor hardens. "What kind of situation?""The kind with blonde hair and a restraining order she'
SONYA'S POVReign's hand moves from my ass to my thigh, then slowly, torturously, between my legs. Even through my panties, the pressure of his fingers makes me moan."So responsive," he praises, circling my clit through the fabric. "So fucking perfect.""Please," I whimper, rocking against his han
SONYA'S POVReign kisses me again, deeper this time, his hand sliding from my face to the back of my neck. His grip is possessive, dominant, and it makes heat pool between my thighs."Reign," I breathe against his lips."Do you want me to stop?" he murmurs, his other hand settling on my waist. "Tel
SONYA'S POVReign drives us to the edge of his property, down a dirt road I didn't know existed, until we reach a clearing with the most beautiful lake I've ever seen.The water is crystal clear, reflecting the morning sun like liquid glass. Trees surround it on all sides, creating a private sanctu
