Nicole

I stood beside Leah in the kitchen, chopping vegetables while the smell of garlic and onions filled the air. It felt nice to have some normalcy after everything that happened with Zach earlier, my body still hummed with leftover warmth. Every time I moved, I remembered his hands, his voice, the way he looked at me like I was something precious. I tried to focus on the knife in my hand.

Leah bumped my shoulder gently. “So… have you made up your mind about Zach?”

I nearly sliced my finger.

  • The Weekend With The Beta   Patio Flames

    NicoleThe cool night air kissed my skin as Zach pulled me against him on the patio. His mouth was demanding, devouring mine like he’d been starving for me all evening. I melted into the kiss, my fingers gripping his shoulders, heart pounding so hard I was sure he could feel it.“Zach…” I breathed when he finally let me up for air.“Shh,” he murmured, lips brushing my ear. “Just let me have you.”Before I could respond, he spun me around gently, pressing my back to his chest. One strong arm wrapped around my waist while his other hand slid under my shirt, cupping my breast. His thumb circled my nipple until it hardened. I bit my lip to hold back a moan. The backyard was dark and quiet, only the soft hum of distant traffic and the rustle of leaves breaking the silence. The thrill of being outside, exposed like this, sent heat rushing between my legs.He kissed the side of my neck, sucking lightly, then harder. “You have no idea how badly I’ve wanted this,” he growled softly. His hand d

My cheeks burned instantly. “What?”She smiled, not even looking up from the sauce she was stirring. “There’s no need to pretend, honey. Everyone knows what’s going on. The way you two look at each other? It’s obvious.”I set the knife down and pressed my hands to my hot face. “Leah…”“I’m not judging,” she said softly. “I just want to know where your head’s at.”I let out a shaky breath. “I… I don’t want to think about it too much right now. My focus is going back to school. I need to get that

  • The Weekend With The Beta   Scent, Sweat and C*m

    Zach I felt like I could finally breathe again. The words had poured out of me, everything about my past, my mom, the emptiness I carried around like a shadow. Nicole had listened without judging, and now a huge weight was off my shoulders. I missed my mom so much it hurt sometimes. She would’ve known what to say about all this, about the way my heart kept pulling me toward Nicole even though my true mate was still out there somewhere. I reached for her, sliding my hand along her jaw and pulling her close. Our lips met, gentle at first, then deeper. She tasted like home.She pulled back just enough to smile. “I thought we were having a serious talk.”“This is serious too,” I whispered, grinning against her mouth.The air between us shifted. What started as comfort turned into something hotter, something we both needed. I kissed her again, slower this time, letting my hands roam down her sides. Nicole melted into me, her fingers curling into my shirt. We didn’t rush. We never did. I

  • The Weekend With The Beta   The Morning He Let Me In

    Nicole I stood outside his bedroom door longer than I should have, my hand hovering over the wood like the slightest touch would shatter something fragile on the other side. A part of me wanted to knock, to ask if he was okay, to step in and make whatever was wrong just a little easier. But another part of me, the more anxious part, kept whispering that I was the reason he had shut down in the first place. He had barely spoken the night before, not even when I tried to ask if he needed anything. He had simply nodded, retreated into his room, and closed the door. The soft click of the latch had felt final, like a barrier I shouldn’t cross. So I didn’t. I spent half the night trying to convince myself that giving him space was the right thing to do. Maybe he needed room to breathe. Maybe he needed quiet. Maybe… maybe he needed distance from me. By morning, I had made up my mind to talk to him, really talk and stop dancing around the tension that had been building all week. Leah

  • The Weekend With The Beta   Forty-Eight Hours

    Nicole The decision felt right when I said it out loud. Two days. Just two more days here before I packed up my bags and pretended like I wasn’t leaving behind something that was slowly becoming dangerously important. I told the kids first, which was somehow easier. Their reactions were dramatic in the way kids always reacted, whining, clinging, acting like I’d told them Santa died. But afterward, when the house quieted again, I finally let myself exhale. I just didn’t expect to walk into my bedroom and find Zach standing there. For a moment, I thought I was seeing things. He was leaning against the edge of my desk, hands in his pockets, shoulders slightly hunched like he’d been stuck in his thoughts for a long time. And when he lifted his eyes to mine, I instantly knew he knew. “You’re leaving in two days,” he said. No softness. No lead-up. Just the words. And the way they fell between us made my stomach clench. My phone almost dropped from my hand. “Who told you?” He

  • The Weekend With The Beta   Embarrassment Level: Expert

    Nicole My mouth parted slightly, shock rippling through me as his words landed. I was still holding a napkin, when Zach casually dropped that sentence into the room like it was nothing. The girls burst into giggles, of course they did , because to them anything involving babies, or the word “kids,” was instantly hilarious. Jack laughed too, shaking his head like he’d just walked into a sitcom. But Leah? Leah turned to Zach so sharply I swear I heard the air slice. “Oh?” she said slowly, eyebrows climbing. “You asked her that?” Her tone was laced with annoyance. I could feel my face heating up again. Why was I the only person in this house permanently embarrassed? Why was my emotional stability suddenly a family project? Zach didn’t even show an ounce of remorse for his comment. If anything, he looked carefree and very amused. “It was a joke.” A joke. Real funny. I stared at the napkin like it was the most interesting thing on earth. If it could’ve grown legs and

    Anonymous Pov.. My breath caught in my throat. Slowly, I turned, my movements calculated and calm, though my mind raced with potential excuses. My eyes locked onto a tall figure walking towards me. It was one of the guards. His piercing eyes studied me closely, his hand resting on the hilt of his

    Jack.. I sat by the window in my study, looking out at the forest. The sky was cloudy and grey, and it felt like rain would fall at any moment. Leah’s favorite weather. For weeks, I had been searching. I followed every lead, every clue, but it was no use. The rogues who had attacked Nicole were

    Nicole.. Ringggggggg! Ringggggggg! I groaned, burrowing under the covers, hoping the sound would stop… or at least that I could figure out where it was coming from. Ringggggggg! Peeking out, I squinted against the morning light streaming through the blinds. Zach was sprawled beside me, utt

    Jack.. I ran my fingers through my hair, sighing as the water cascaded over her skin. By the time she stepped out of the shower, she looked exhausted—and I was no better. “You look beautiful, baby,” I muttered as soon as her gaze met mine. She walked up to me and gave me a rib crushing
