Masuk“Oh, fuck.”Alaric says something, but I don’t hear the words. I can’t concentrate on anything beyond the pressure building inside me. Higher and tighter. My breathing turns ragged. The room seems to shrink around me until there’s nothing beyond sensation and the frantic beat of my heart.“Alaric…”
** Poppy’s POV **I’m heavy and weightless at the same time. My entire body relaxes in the best way as the heat finally eases. Alaric’s weight shifts on the bed, but I’m too blissed out to even open my eyes. The entire pack could march in right now, and I don’t think I’d be able to care. “You’re so
“Bas…”“I'm going.”Poppy moves slightly against me, and Bastian’s eyes flash again.His hand wraps around the door handle. But before he opens it, his gaze meets mine again. There's more in that look than I can unravel right now. Desire, struggle, and something dangerously close to fear.He’s not s
** Alaric’s POV **Goddess, help me.How can I say no to her? How can I ask her to wait when she feels this good? When she burns for me like this?Bastian and I had discussed how we would handle this, and at this point, the plan is FUBAR. The moment Leo said she was asking for us, we crumbled. And h

** Paige’s POV **Morning comes too fast and slow at once. I don’t think I ever actually fell asleep, not fully. I drifted, floated, hovered somewhere between exhaustion and adrenaline. Between fear and hope. Between the things I lost… and the things I might be gaining.A child, a possibility.My ha
“Paige…” I groan against her lips. “You’re… goddess; you’re killing me.”“Good,” she breathes, kissing me again, needy, hungry, almost reckless. “I want to.”I pin her against the door with my hips, both hands braced beside her head. I kiss down her throat, slow at first… then harder when she tilts
Loaded question, too loaded. I sit anyway. The cushions dip under my weight, and her body leans subtly closer to mine. I shouldn’t be affected by something as small as that… but I am. Every inhale is her. Every exhale feels too hot in my lungs. My hand twitches with the urge to touch her, to anchor
** Ryder’s POV **Halfway up the stairs, she tightens her grip on me, her lips brushing the side of my throat. Not kissing, just… there. Like the contact is something she needs to stay steady.“Ryder…” she whispers.I stop.Every muscle tenses because of how she says my name. Like she’s stripping th
