MasukVIVIENNE pov.That damn man left me horny, so horny that even the coldest shower couldn’t quench the heat between my legs. I had cancelled breakfast with the twins because I didn’t want to move around town smelling like need, didn’t want them to see the flush on my cheeks or the way my thighs kept pressing together every time I remembered what happened. So I’d told them I was tired, told them I needed rest, told them I’d see them later, and then I’d locked the door and forced a nap.I woke up hours later still hot, stripped, and stepped under the freezing spray hoping the shock of it would kill this fire Dante had lit inside me when he’d pinned me against the wall and kissed me like he wanted to consume me whole.It didn’t work.The water hit my skin sharp and punishing running in cold rivers down my back, over my breasts, between my thighs, but it only made everything more sensitive, made every nerve ending scream louder, made the ache between my legs pulse harder. I stood there
Dante’s POVHer scent hit me immediately I began to regain my senses and I knew exactly where I was... how the hell did I end up in her room? The smell of her filled my lungs like smoke, sharp and wild, mixed with the faint trace of last night’s whiskey still clinging to my skin and the sweet, buttery warmth of whatever she’d eaten yesterday that still lingered on the sheets. My head throbbed, heavy and dull, the kind of headache that came from too much alcohol and not enough sleep, but worse than the pain was the realization sinking in slowly and cold... I was in her bed. Naked. Arms wrapped around her. Her back pressed to my chest and her ass nestled against my hips. My cock, already half-hard from the warmth and the scent of her, stirred fully awake when she shifted in her sleep, soft curves sliding against me in a way that made my breath catch hard in my throat.“Well, you couldn’t stop thinking about her and you took so many alcohol and damn pills to get you drunk and
Vivienne’s POVThe sound of the door opening yanked me out of sleep so fast my heart slammed into my ribs. I rolled onto my side, eyes snapping open, every sense sharpening in an instant. The room was dark and quiet, shadows stretching long across the walls, moonlight slipping in through the tall windows. Who the fuck…? My first thought was Jane. Which was honestly hilarious because if that bitch had decided to sneak into my room in the middle of the night to slit my throat, she was about to have a very bad, very educational experience. Guards or not, wolf or not, I could still kill someone painfully if I had to. Slowly too, if I was feeling creative. The thought actually made my lips twitch. Goddess, I was unhinged but no. That wasn’t it. Jane wouldn’t be sloppy enough to open the door like she owned the place, and she definitely wouldn’t smell like alcohol, leather, smoke, and pure Alpha arrogance rolled into one. I pushed myself up on my elbows, eyes narrowi
VIVIENNE POVWalking back to the villa with the girls was wild in a way that made my chest ache, like I was watching someone else’s life from the inside out.Mara and Maya were arm in arm, arguing about the dumbest thing, if tomato counts as a fruit, or some other nonsense I’d usually roll my eyes at.But I just kept grinning like a lunatic, stuffing my hands in my pockets so I wouldn’t accidentally reach out and drag them both back inside like some needy kid who didn’t want her friends to leave.I was seriously considering asking them to stay over. Goddess. The thought alone made me wanna slap myself. Vivienne Moreau, the Viper, Alpha-slayer, breaker of bones, reduced to puppy eyes and awkward goodbyes.Blame it on that damn fruit. The healing, the poison, the silence Ivy left behind...yeah, blame it all. Couldn’t be that I just wanted company for once in my miserable life.We reached the main gates, the twins still bickering, their laughter echoing in the warm night.I trailed behin
Vivienne’s POVKane’s hand lingered a moment longer, his thumb brushing the inside of my thigh like he was daring me to beg. But I just arched a brow, grinning, silent and feral. The tension between us was so thick the table should’ve snapped in half. I didn’t break eye contact not for a second.He was the first to look away. His jaw ticked, eyes burning with that wild frustration that always got under my skin, and I swear, I could see his pulse pounding in his neck. He pulled his hand back, not gentle, like he was furious with himself, shoving away from the booth so hard the whole table shuddered.He stood up so fast his chair nearly toppled. The restaurant went pin-drop silent, every pair of eyes glued to us, forks paused mid-air, conversation dying in the air. Kane’s glare could’ve lit the whole place on fire.He growled, real low, all teeth and menace. “You want fire, Red? Next time I’ll give you a fucking inferno.”I bared my teeth in a smile. “Try harder next time, choker. Mayb
Vivienne’s POVKane’s eyes were on me, glaring like he wanted to eat me, and I cringed at the thought because the way he stared was too intense, too raw, like he could already taste me on his tongue and was fighting the urge to take a bite right here in front of everyone. The restaurant noise faded into a dull hum around us, the clatter of plates, the low murmur of voices, the occasional burst of laughter from some table in the back but all I could feel was the weight of his gaze pinning me in place, heavy and hot, making my skin prickle and my pulse kick up despite how much I wanted to hate it. I shifted in the booth, crossing my arms tight across my chest like that could block him out, but it didn’t. Nothing blocked Kane when he decided to look at you like you were the only thing in the room worth devouring. I shouldn’t have followed him to this damn restaurant... Asher deceived me... I'm gonna kill that mother fucker when I see him. He handed me to Kane -like goods and told
