GINGERWe were all surprised when some of the ladies that were heavily involved with the temple wheeled out a buffet of large tubs of Ben & Jerry's ice cream and toppings, scoopers ready. Jasmine went up to the podium and announced that they were throwing an ice cream social for us. My whole family got in line, and I was delighted to see that they had a few fun flavors to choose from rather than just plain vanilla and chocolate. I got the Chunky Monkey and Paige got the Gimme S'more and we agreed to share so we could try each other's.They opened the back door, and soon everyone was spilling out into the garden. Paige and I took a seat on a bench and scooped out of each other's ice cream cups. I noted Heidi stayed close to our parents instead, which I was thankful for. She still boiled my blood every time I looked at her.After some time, Jasmine came by. I got up so she could sit."No, no, it's fine! I don't mind standing. Please sit." Jasmine waved her hand."You're too nice, Jaz."
GINGER "I was thinking Salem first and hospital after?" Tyce asked when I showed up on Tuesday morning. "Yeah, that's fine." "And I'm also thinking we should buy two of those potions this time, just in case." I cringed. "What?" He looked intently into my eyes. "Nothing. Yeah, you're right," I replied, not wanting him to know how poor I was. I would just insert my credit card. This was more important than money and credit card debt. This was about the rest of my life. He gave me a smile, took my hand, and then pulled me toward the car, opening the passenger door for me. Once he was seated in the driver's seat, I asked, "Are you okay to drive?" "Yeah, fine, why?" "You're still getting the wolfsbane injections, though, right?" "Yeah, but I'm getting more used to them now." "Are you though? Or are you just acting tough?" "I'm fine, Gigi." As he said this, he backed out of the pack driveway and onto the main pack road. "You're helping me. So if there was anything you needed he
GINGER When we arrived in Salem and finally parked, I stepped out of the car, taking a deep breath, readying myself. "Goddess, I feel sick," I whispered. "What was that?" Tyce asked. "Nothing," I replied. The ease I'd felt in the car had dissipated, and I was left feeling nauseous, my palms sweaty and my throat dry. I can do this, I can do this. Tyce took my hand in his and we walked toward the shop. I couldn't lie—his hand had an instant calming effect on me. "It's nice being able to hold your hand and not worry about who might see us." Tyce gave me such a sweet smile. "Now look who's hurting my teeth," I responded, but secretly loved it, my heart fluttering. I was dismayed to find Helena at the register when we made it inside the shop. Her eyes instantly fell on our hands. And something about it gave me so much satisfaction. Take that, bitch! He's mine! Mine. I kind of liked the ring of it. I'd never thought myself the possessive type, but Tyce had me feeling all sorts of way
GINGER Tyce stopped suddenly. "Hey, look! A haunted house! What do you think? Should we go in?" "Are you sure you can handle it?" I teased, pushing on his chest. Damn, his chest felt nice. I didn't even want to remove my hand—wanting the rub it all over, discover every part of his hard, muscular body. A hot shiver was overtaking me. "Oh, please. Everyone knows the only reason guys like haunted houses is because it makes the ladies grab onto us in fear. And then we can be their knight in shining armor. While your boobs are pushed up against us." He gave me a playful smirk. "Haha, okay, Mister Big Tough Horny Alpha," I teased. "Feel free to call me that from now on." "What's my nickname then?" "Miss Sexy Beautiful Spicy Damsel." "Damsel?" "Yes, Damsel in Distress that's going to push her boobs up against me in the dark haunted house." I rolled my eyes. "We'll see about that." We got in line to purchase a ticket to enter. "Quick tip." The clerk smiled at us. "When you go in, g
GINGER When we got back out into the sunlight, we decided to just grab a couple sandwiches and drive home, agreeing it was too risky to stick around out in public. "Hey, thanks for helping me out back there." Tyce squeezed my hand as we walked. "What was I supposed to do? Just leave you naked and helpless?" I snickered. "I may have been naked but I wasn't helpless." "You had literally two choices. Go out naked or as a wolf, in the middle of tourist central." "There was another option." "Which was?" He gave me an evil smile and said, "I mean, desperate times call for desperate measures. I could have just knocked out a human and grabbed his clothing if it came down to it. It was pretty dark in there. Great place for a real monster to lurk." "Damn, you're psycho." "You don't even know the half of it." I looked up, and he had the most ominous look on his face I'd ever seen, taking me aback—the look of someone you did not fuck with. The way he'd manhandled Lucy flashed in my mind,
GINGER Before I could respond, he brought his lips back to mine, and began feverously kissing me again. I gave in completely and knew for a fact that I didn't have enough willpower to reject him. There was not enough willpower in the world to reject him. I was playing with fire while drenched in gasoline, and I no longer cared. I had fallen hard and was now Tyce's prisoner to do with whatever he wanted. He kissed down my body. "Soft, perfect skin." Then he kissed across the top of my underwear. "Beautiful, luscious, grabbable hips." He hooked his fingers into the thin fabric of my panties and dragged them down slowly, kissing over the top of my pubic bone. He continued his journey as he kissed onto my legs. "Thick, mouthwatering thighs." I let out a soft moan, and he pulled my panties further down my legs until they were completely off. He kissed his way back up, bringing his lips back to the inside of my thighs, taking his time kissing up the inside of each leg. Soon he was nibbli
JASMINE "Tyce! Tyce! Tyce!" Gigi's moans echoed through the room. It had been going on for a few days that point. "These walls aren't soundproof at all, are they?" I asked Blake, who was lying in bed next to me. He smirked. "Nope, clearly not." "And anyone who ever slept in that room, including Tyce and Talia, have heard us, haven’t they?" "Yep." Blake chuckled. I groaned. "Goddess, that is messed up! My cousin and your sister have heard us have sex!" My whole body was burning with embarrassment. "They've heard us have sex so many times! Tyce has been listening all summer and never even said anything!" "What was he going to say? Nice job, Alpha, wink wink. You railed my cousin good last night." I groaned again. "Blake, you're not helping!" He laughed. "Aw, c'mon, Jaz, you have to agree it's kind of funny." He pulled me toward him. I made a face and said, "Okay, maybe it's kind of funny." Then after a beat, I asked, "So did you really not know? You used to sleep in that room,
JASMINE As soon as we entered training, Lucy did a 180 and went from being a sulky brat to her usual bubbly, flirty self. "Oh, hello there, Xander. Your arms are looking much bigger than the last time I saw you!" She touched his bicep. "You've clearly been working really hard." "Hi, Lucy," he replied, clearly not amused. "So, what's on the schedule today?" She gave him a big smile. "Let me get stretched out so I can be ready." She bent over and reached down to touch her toes, basically shoving her butt in his face. He barely paid her any attention and said, "Get stretched out because it's going to be a tough one today." "But Jasmine's pregnant!" Lucy exclaimed. "Luna Jasmine's been doing great. We've just been modifying anything that's not safe for pregnancy. But the doctor has cleared her to stick with her regular routine otherwise. Why don't we start with some floor exercises to get warmed up?" Lucy groaned as I go into position on the mat. At 12, the bell sounded to signal i
