LOGINI knew I was being dramatic but I couldn’t help it.I couldn’t understand why he’d kiss me and completely disappear for the rest of the day. I could’ve reached out to him on my own, but my pride wouldn’t let me.I hated how my mind was swirling with thoughts and worry. Did he not enjoy what we did? Did he regret it? I’d never panicked like this before, and I hated it.I stared at Elias, my hands crossed over my chest. He just stood in front of me, blocking the exit with a frown.“I need to go, Elias.”I tried to brush past him, but he stopped me. “You’re not going anywhere until we actually talk about this. What demon possessed you to think I was ignoring you?”“Don’t spin this around on me. You just disappeared into your office.”“Because I was giving you space!” he exclaimed. “I didn’t want to overwhelm you. You’re like a frightened mouse.”“Then why did you kiss me?” I asked. ““This is all your fault. You’re the one who kissed me and now I-”“You what?”I groaned. “This isn’t about
I couldn’t get her taste out of my mouth, or the smell of her out of my mindThe car that once felt too large now felt fucking small. I wanted nothing more than to pull to a stop on the side of the road and worship every inch of her until I forgot how to breathe. Until I couldn’t tell where she started and I ended.It also didn’t help that the smell of her arousal filled the air. At first, I thought it was my mind playing tricks on me, but after a few minutes, I couldn’t help but notice how she kept squeezing her thighs shut and avoiding my gaze.She was still turned on.I’d ripped her panties so she wasn’t wearing any, and it would be so easy to just reach out and touch her. No one would ever know. The road to the pack house was quiet at this time of day, there were barely any cars passing.I could stop and touch her so easily—“If you want us to make it home in one piece, I need you to stop thinking whatever you’re thinking,” I ground out.Her arousal was messing with my head.Her c
The heat of his lips on my skin had me bucking my hips forward. He sucked and bit on my nipple driving me absolutely insane. No man had ever touched me like this before.“Patience,” he teased. “I’m going to take care of you but only if you’re patient. You’re a good girl, you can do that, can’t you?”I nodded, but that wasn’t enough for him. His teeth grazed my nipples and I gasped.“Words, Isadora.”“Yes.”“Yes what?”“I’m a good girl.”With his lips still over my nipple, his free hand trailed down my body and stopped at the waistband of my pants. For a moment, he just trailed his fingers over it, toying with the idea of taking it off.I lifted my hips subtly… a silent approval, and that was all he needed to pop open the button. With one hand, he peeled my pants off my legs, and I let him. I was well aware of the fact that thing were moving insanely fast, but I was too far gone to care.The only thing I could think about was the man on top of me, and how badly I needed him.His finger
We were both shocked by my outburst, but Elias didn’t take a moment to think, he slammed his lips on mine.Every worry, every panic, every fear melted out of me in that moment.It took me a second to get my bearings, but it didn’t matter because Elias was in complete control. His hand on my cheek tangled into my hair, while the other gripped my hips so firmly that I knew it would bruise.The thought of seeing his mark on me had a small moan leaving my lips.Elias cursed, his tongue slipping into my mouth as he kissed me with expert precision. This was a man with years of knowledge. He knew what to do and there was no hesitation as he touched me. There was something about him that pulled me in and called to me. It was almost like he was coaxing my lips and gently stroking it.Perhaps it was because I’d only ever kissed one man, but there was something different about being kissed by him.There were no words to explain how exhilarating and exciting it was. It felt like my skin had come
The inside of the house was breathtaking.I expected it to be musty or dusty because he hadn’t been here in a while, but every inch of the house was spotless. It was absolutely magnificent with the large beige couches and the flowers on the windowsills.It didn’t just look like a home… it felt like one too. Every inch of the house told stories of love and family. There were faint scuff marks on the walls that resembled the spot where someone would mark a child’s height. One of the pillows had a stain on it that I didn’t even want to know about, and even the floors had some marks that had never been fixed.I walked over to the walls, letting my fingers trail over the marks. They went far above my head so I knew it was Elias’ height that was being measured.“I could never bring myself to fix it up,” he said softly as he made his way over to me. “My mother would do this every Monday morning. It was the only thing I liked about Mondays.”“It’s beautiful.”“It is,” he agreed. “She died on
A different server brought out our food.It was a woman and I saw Elias grin once he realized the man wouldn’t be returning. The woman was careful to not look at either of us in the eyes. She kept her head to the ground and didn’t stay longer than she needed to.I planned to chide him for that, but I momentarily forgot about it the moment I tasted my food. It was better than anything I’d had in my entire life. Then again, for a very long time, I lived off take out and burned food and until I got here, no one had actually ever cooked for me.A small moan left my lips at the burst of flavor on my tongue. “This is so good.”In front of me, Elias stilled. “I’m glad you like it.”His voice was hoarse, and he sounded on edge, but I just couldn’t understand why.“Do you not like your food?” I asked and he shook his head.“It isn’t that.”“Are you sure? You can try mine.”I couldn’t imagine ordering something that I didn’t like. I speared some of my pasta and held it up to him before I even
The coffee came within minutes and the waitress bowed low, her eyes flickering between the both of us and our whispered voices.“Do you do this often?” I asked as I took a sip from my coffee. “They don’t seem surprised to see you.”“I make it a habit to see my pack and keep a close eye on them.”“W
“Let me help you with that,” Erina’s voice filled the room and I turned to find her leaning against my doorway.I stilled, hand in hair and let her take over.I could handle my hair, I’d been doing it since I was a child seeing as I didn’t have anyone to teach me, but I allowed her. Taming my hair
I waited for the punch line, for him to say it was a joke, but it never came.It was the same thing Erina had said, but somehow, hearing it from him made it sound a little more eerie.“You cannot just kill people because I’m hurt,” I crossed my arms across my chest. “That’s absurd.”He shrugged.“W
Her statement wasn’t as comforting as she thought it was. It only had me feeling more suspicious. There was no way he’d kill his own friend just for upsetting me… right?“Sit,” she urged, pulling me towards the chair. “The maids will be out soon with our food.”As if on cue, about three maids stepp
