LOGINSERAPHINA~~The quiet that followed my mindless confession was so loud I could hear the faint chirping of the birds that were still soaring high above the cabin.Kieran. He froze.The two plates he had in his large hands remained suspended mid-air, his broad shoulders locking up as if I had just hit him with a soul-shattering spell. For a second, the cool, infuriatingly confident man who had just won our little game of tease and seduction completely vanished.For a split second, that control he had disappeared, leaving him weak to my seductive skills. Through the bond, a wave of raw, unprocessed emotion from him hit me so hard it brought tears to the backs of my eyes. It wasn't just desire or possessiveness anymore. It was more like a shockingly sincere awe that echoed deep into my soul. Even Kia’s breath hitched within me while she watched through my eyes as my mate slowly turned around to face me.“Our…” My Lycan corrected. “He is our mate, Sera.”I didn’t have the strength to
SERAPHINA~~Walking out of the bedroom in nothing but my skin and into the kitchen, where I knew Kieran was because of the aroma of the food and his delicious scent, should have made me shy. Or flush. Or even try to hide my body behind my arms. But because of the words Kieran had said to me when he made heated love to me earlier, I was anything but shy. I still blushed under his darkened gaze as I closed the distance between us, wrapping my arm around his neck as soon as I reached him. Kieran’s hand moved instantly, almost hungrily, roaming my behind as he pulled me flush against his bare chest. My body shuddered as my nipples grazed his skin, and I had to swallow the moan threatening to let itself out. “Yes, you are very hot, Ina…” He whispered into my ear, kissing my earlobe before he added in a very low tone that caused my head to fall backwards, “But I believe I can handle you just fine.”I wanted to respond, but all I could manage to let out was a soft gasp, escaping my l
KIERAN’S POV~~For the first time in as long as I could remember, my mind was entirely silent.There were no words from Alan. No thoughts of looming threats. No tactical calculations about the situation in the realm. No restless Beta instincts are consuming my mind. There was just one thing… or more appropriately, one person. Seraphina. My Ina. My woman. My mate. My heart. My everything. My forever. I could hear the steady rhythm of Seraphina’s breathing against my chest, and the profound, unbreakable weight of our bond settled deep into my very marrow.After she confirmed that I belonged to her just as much as I owned her, my eyes closed on their own, satisfaction coursing through me. My eyes remained closed as I lay there in the room that had suddenly become quiet. Through the mark fresh on her neck, I could feel the soft, warm hum of her soul intertwined with mine. I was also able to tell the second she fell into a deep sleep, her heartbeat slowing but still music to my ear
SERAPHINA~~I lost count of the number of times my body trembled underneath my mate’s heated frame. Especially after the third wave of orgasm slammed into me, leaving me completely boneless against the mattress.My entire body felt like jelly, yet my desires kept flaring, and my legs remained around Kieran’s waist, keeping him buried within me. I couldn’t get enough, and from the way he moved and groaned, I could tell that he felt the same way. "Ina..." he breathed, his breath short and raw. He sounded almost wrecked, and the echoes of his complete satisfaction hit my eardrums. He pressed a warm, lingering kiss right into the sweet spot beneath my ear, his lips dragging down to my neck. "If you keep holding me like this, I'm never going to let us leave this bed.""Good," I gasped out, my hands tightening on his shoulders, my fingers digging into his drenched skin as he gave another slow, agonizingly deep roll of his hips that made my head fall back into the pillows.While I did
SERAPHINA~~When my back hit the lushness of the bed, and I felt the softness of the scented pearls against my back even before I could force my eyes open to see them briefly, I instantly realized that Serena had been planning this getaway for a while. But neither Kieran nor I got to take in the beauty of the decorated bedroom… or even the bed. I could bet that Kieran didn't even notice the petals as he hovered over me, his eyes darkened with lust. He didn't give me time to breathe, let alone inspect the room. His hands moved with a swift, ruthless efficiency, hooking into the sides of my underwear and stripping them down my legs in one seamless motion, tossing them into the shadows of the room.I was completely bare beneath him now.And I loved it more than words could convey.A sharp, breathless gasp tore from my throat as the cool air hit my skin again, but Kieran once again replaced it with his heat. His hands slammed onto the mattress on either side of my head, his large bo
SERAPHINA~~My heart…It slammed against my ribs so hard, falling to the depth of my stomach within seconds. It happened so loudly I was certain Kieran could hear it over the sound of our erratic breathing.That question of his hovered in the air between us, heavy with honor, heat, and an unspoken promise that made my skin prickle with desperate anticipation. Permission?Was he truly asking for my permission? After a month of feeling like we were drifting into the quiet routine of co-workers, he was asking me to let him take everything—and give everything in return.The reality of how much he valued me only fueled the unquenchable desire zapping through my entire body.“Permission granted,” I gasped out, the word barely a whisper, but it was audible enough to act like a key turning in a lock. A key I had given to the gorgeous man before me. Kieran didn't hesitate as he grabbed that key and made good use of it.His hands hooked into the hem of my shirt, pulling it up and over my h
