[Amya’s POV]I slowly crept across Brayden’s dark room, being careful to stay quiet in case someone were to be roaming in the hall beyond. Not to mention, to avoid startling Brayden.Reaching his bed, I held my breath as I slowly reached out a hand and gently touched his cheek."Hey," I whispered, kneeling down beside the bed as he began to stir. "Wake up, sleepy head.""Mmm?" I watched as Brayden’s brows knitted together before his eyes slowly began to open. "Sis?" he gasped, suddenly sitting up."Sssshhhhh." I hissed. "You’re going to wake mom and dad."Nodding quickly, Brayden mimed locking his lips and throwing away the key like I had taught him when we would play hide and seek."That’s a good boy." I beamed, reaching out and ruffling his hair."Why are you here?" Brayden whispered as I began to examine every inch of his skin. "Aren’t you afraid of getting caught?""Aren’t you happy to see me?" I countered. "I wanted to make sure that you’re doing well."Nodding, Brayden suddenly
[Mykel’s POV]"If you keep pacing like that, you’re going to dig a trench." Pam giggled. "You worried that Armal is gonna steal your woman?""Watch it," I growled.Stopping in place, I extended my senses, searching for Amya and Armal’s energies. They had already been gone for a long, fucking time. What the hell were they even doing? Didn’t they know how dangerous it was to stay here? Especially after what we did? What exactly did that bastard plan to do if he and Amya got caught? They knew we were in enemy territory!"Dammit." snarled, punching the trunk of a tree that was just to my left. "That DUMB ass!""Calm your shit." Lucian huffed. "Do you really think Armal would let anything happen?"Would he? Honestly, given his daredevil tendencies, I wouldn’t put it past him. He had managed to get himself into some pretty tight situations in the past. Most of which I had to help his ass out of."That’s it." I said, as a million different scenarios began to flash through my mind. "I’m going
[Mykel’s POV]I stared down into Amya’s quickly darkening eyes while my desire for her continued to rise to a very dangerous level. This draw truly was dangerous, and I was having a hard time resisting, but I knew that if I planned to actually cherish Amya, now wasn’t the time to do this.Letting out a huff of frustration, I slowly lifted myself, earning a whimper of dissatisfaction from the woman beneath me. Fuck, I was sure that this looked bad given how many fucking times I had already attempted to fuck her."Are you not sticking to your words?" Amya pouted, lifting herself to her elbows. "Or do you not want me?""It isn’t that." I responded, running a hand through my hair."Then what is it?"What was it? That was a damn good question. In the past, I didn’t hesitate to fuck any woman that I felt remotely attracted to. However, Amya was special, and due to that, I didn’t want to treat her like any other woman. When I finally took her, I wanted it to be memorable."Mykel?""Now isn’t
[Mia’s POV]"Ugh…faster…" I begged as Armal thrust in and out of me. "Harder…please."This was the second time since Armal's arrival in the oasis that we had fucked like rabbits, but even now I still found myself wanting more."If that’s what my only wants." Armal murmured, biting my collarbone.A gasp escaped me as his arms wrapped around my waist, allowing him to pull me into his lap so I could take control. Ah, this was perfect."Yes…yes…UGH!"A moan of delight escaped me as an orgasm flashed through me. Goddess, how I missed this and the man that was making me feel so damn good. Letting out a groan, Armal buried his face in my chest before releasing his seed deep into me."I love you." I whispered, tangling my fingers in his hair. "More than the stars in the sky.""Every time I look at you, I fall in love all over again, my only." Armal responded, lifting his head so he could look into my eyes. "Do you know how hard it was to not be with you all those years?""Yes." I responded. "
[Amya’s POV]"Time to get up."The honey-sweet voice dripped over me, sending thrums of pleasure through me. Letting out a contented smile, I slowly opened my eyes and looked up at the person who had spoken."Are we back?" I asked, beginning to stretch. "Or are you wanting to do something... interesting?"A low growl escaped Mykel as I pressed my body closer to his. Letting out a giggle, I peeked over his shoulder towards the world beyond our carriage that was no longer moving."Maybe next time." I shrugged, attempting to stand but stopping as Mykel’s hold on me tightened. "Are you going to hold me hostage now?""Maybe," Mykel responded, pressing his lips against mine."Oi!" Armal’s voice called, followed by multiple raps on the door, keeping us in and him out. "Get your asses out here."A sigh of frustration escaped Mykel before he loosened his hold and allowed me to stand. Interesting. Did this mean that Armal could command him?"Don’t think of strange things." Mykel huffed, thumpin
[Mykel’s POV]My eyes scanned the room, taking in the merriment that was taking place. Dammit, it was pretty fucking annoying. Especially, the woman with the wild white hair and glowing red eyes that laughed much too loudly with Pam while downing the strongest drink Horris had to offer."Jealous?"Flinching, I snapped my gaze away from Amya and fixed it on gramps as he took a seat in front of me."What are you doing out of your hole, old man?" I asked, letting out a long breath."Am I not allowed to join all of you every once in a while?""Sure, you’re allowed." I huffed, taking another glance at Amya. "But I feel that you simply came to irritate me. Did you come to laugh at me?"I was sure that he already sensed the energy of the room and knew that something was definitely happening between Amya and I. After previously announcing that the two of us were mates, I knew that my being alone while my fucking mate hung all over someone else, a woman no less, didn’t look too good."Seems yo
[Amya’s POV]My heart gave a tug and any lingering tipsiness that I may have had disappeared due to Mykel’s sobering words.It was entirely his fault...He was standing here in front of me saying that it was his fault that the great Ortus Solis pack was now gone. Despite how serious his face looked, I just couldn’t believe what he was saying was true."Let me explain." Mykel said, motioning towards a bench. "But first, let’s sit down. We look pretty damn suspicious. ""Sure."Keeping my hand wrapped in his, Mykel led me across the grass and waited while I sat. However, even once I was seated, he remained standing, staring down at me with a look so deep I couldn’t help but feel he was miles away from me."Mykel," I whispered, giving his hand a gentle tug. "Please, tell me what has you making that face.""Face?" Mykel repeated, in confusion.Nodding, I closed my eyes and reached out for his consciousness. When I found out, I began to project the image of him that I was seeing. Maybe if
[Armal’s POV]My eyes stayed fixed on the couple that was getting hot and heated out in the open where anyone and their brother could see. Since being kicked out of the oasis due to Mia draining me of my energy, I couldn’t seem to shake a feeling that was brand new to me.Jealousy.Was that what this emotion was? Since I never truly craved anything except Mia, and since she was solely mine, I never had to feel it. However, now when I watched Mykel and Amya together, I found myself wishing that we could be a normal couple like that.Well, to be fair, in the past we were able to be like that since Amya didn’t have anyone she cared for. By the time I met them, she and Greyson weren’t that serious. Not to mention, they were much too young to even think of doing more than petting or holding hands. But now, she was a full-grown woman, and the body that used to be only mine was also someone else's."Fuck." I hissed, tearing my gaze away and turning. "What the hell am I doing?"Running a hand
