Ethan
“Kira? Did you hear me?”
She burst out laughing, a hysterical sound, slightly unhinged. Doubling over, she slapped her hand on the coffee table, the echoing sound of wood reverberating around the living room.
“Oh my Goddess, Ethan!” she howled. “How much is he paying you?”
“What?” I asked bewildered.
“Perrin? How much did he pay you?” She was hugging her sides now, fits of laughter bursting forth. “It’s gotta be at least fifty bucks. That was good.”
“Kira, I’m not kidding.” I held my voice steady, but the nerves that had wracked me the last two times I had told someone about Justin today took root and
JustinI had made it back to the hotel, thankful for the elevator and my sore foot. It was fine, and I was cleared to return to the Lodge tomorrow, but my mind had been filled with nothing but Ethan since he left early this morning.Ethan, and the texts he had sent.Why had he gone to talk to Jesamine? Er, Jaz, I think that’s what she called herself here. Was I overthinking it? Maybe she had overheard and he was just covering his bases.Or maybe their friendship was stronger than our mating bond.Either way, I knew that I needed to talk to Kira, sooner rather than later. If Ethan really had spoken to her, and if she took it the way I expected, I would have a lot of explaining to do.As if the God
Justin“Neither can I,” said a voice from the doorway.My back was turned from the hallway, but I knew who it was. I felt my sister curl in upon herself, then her arms turned to steel an instant later, bracing for whatever he said next.“I’m so glad we’ve finally been able to have this little family reunion!” My father slid into the kitchen, eyeing the two of us. “It’s about time, don’t you think? Overdue really, after twelve years.”“I’m leaving,” Jesamine muttered to me, making for the counter to grab her bag. My father’s quick reflexes snatched it from the counter before she could reach it, and she froze in place.“Jesamine, please. Won’t you take a
Justin “Well done! Well done.” The blood was still pounding in my ears as I listened to Jesamine’s footsteps echo down the hallway and the slam of the door behind her. “Don’t talk to me,” I barked. I didn’t care what my father said next. This was as much his fault as it was Jesamine’s. I grabbed my jacket and walked to the door, slamming it with thunderous finality. ** The elevator took too long. Everything wasn’t moving fast enough. I needed to get out of this metal box and find Ethan. It was the only thing that made sense. He was the only thing that made sense ri
PerrinEthan was mated.Ethan was mated.Ethan was mated to Justin.I sat down on my bed as the door closed behind him, my hand coming to my forehead. What was going on?I needed to get out of this room, get fresh air to think. I looked out the window, the thoughts of the previous night with Jaz skimming through my mind. It had felt different with her somehow, last night. And I wasn’t sure what that meant.It was a Sunday. Technically
LoBefore I knew what was happening I had been pulled into his chest. My head fitting just beneath his chin, and I can smell his woody scent. Wood, and pine, and…And so unlike Ethan’s, that had been full of cinnamon and citrus. Or like campfire smoke.I tried to stifle the sob I had been holding in until I was out of earshot, but I couldn’t. I let it out, my chest heaving while embracing him. His arms didn’t move, but held steady and warm around me as my body wracked with pent up emotion.I was dimly aware of how warm his skin was, how hot it was. He had been working out. I had tried to shake my own hangover and had only come out in a pink sports bra. I stepped back out of his embr
Perrin My run hadn’t been successful. I was still agitated, still annoyed. Still frustrated that I didn’t know where Ethan and I stood. What his decision would be about the Sacred Call. About all of it. I got back to my room, having left Lo in the kitchen with Dina. PERRIN: Are we still on for later? ETHAN: Yea. How about 8pm? PERRIN: Meet you there? ETHAN: Yea. I threw my phone on the bed, stripped off my shorts and started the shower. I was mentally tired by physically wound up. I needed time to think, without the distraction of Lo and her own issues. But I stopped for a moment, le
JazHe was hot in my mouth, pulsing beneath my tongue. As I swirled around his girth, I could feel the warm drops escape his tip, one by one. I teased my tongue around the head of him, licking off each drop as it appeared, devouring him deep into my throat with each pass.I was going torturously slow, and if his moan of approval was any indication, he liked it. He liked the way my full lips pressed against his skin, how my mouth slid up and down the smoothness of him. As I felt him grow harder and harder with each pass, heat pounded between my own legs.I allowed the tip of my tongue to trace the veins along his cock, a maze that swept my mouth up and around him, driving him deep into my mouth and down to the base of him, then back up to the top, relinquishing touch almost entirely except for the tip, which had released yet another glist
Jaz“Ethan?” The Luna knocked over the empty coffee cup nearest her hand. “Is he alright?”“Yes, he’s… he’s fine.” I said, catching my breath and pinning my hand to the stitch in my side.The Luna visibly relaxed in front of me, sinking deep into her plush office chair. “Then what, pray to the Goddess, has you so out of breath and here on a Sunday?” Her tone was formal and light, but taking one glane around the room made me realize how odd this was. I had bee-lined for her, out of breath and disheveled on a day I was supposed to be home studying.“If you’re trying to impress me with more lab time, Jasmine, it would be better for you to dedicate time to self-preservation and rest. Neither a healer or researcher is w
