“You sigh a lot.”

“I do?”

“Yep. Wanna talk about it?”

“Um, well, the thing is, you are really good looking, Jasper,” she said, seeing she had surprised him by his expression. “But I am sure you know that. Anyway, I am an artist and I appreciate beauty, but I am afraid this situation I am in has made me a little, I don’t know, but anyway, I apologize if I was staring. I am sorry⁠—”

“Don’t be,” He interrupted. “I like your eyes on me. I like knowing you like the way I look,” he said, voice so low she barely heard him.

Did that just happen?

She wondered and shook her head. No way. That was her curse, she supposed. Eternally optimistic and frequently disappointed.

Well, at least this relationship was purely business. She just had to remember that, even if, for whatever reason, that fact depressed her.

“So, tell me, Carolina, why do you need protection?” Jasper asked, and his rapt stare made her squirm under the thick terrycloth robe she’d slipped on.

Was it her, or did his eyes ju

  • Wyvern Protection Unit   Chapter Three-Penelope

    September was my favorite month out of the entire year. It was my mother’s birth month, and she used to always celebrate by baking special goodies with me. It’s where I learned and honed my love of baking. So, no, I would not let this rotten sonovabitch ruin it for me. Gritting my teeth, I closed my eyes and listened to my ex whine and threaten me with more legal bullshit. “You have got to be kidding me,” I snapped, unable to keep silent any longer. “It’s only fair, Pig Pen,” Burt, my ex-husband, said in that whiny voice of his that actually made me sick. “Don’t call me that,” I said, hating the nickname even more now that we weren’t married any longer. “Well, I guess I will see you in court then,” he replied. I looked down at the letter in my hand. The one he’d sent requesting I give him copies of all my business tax returns, demanding half my earnings. The prick was claiming he had a right to take what I gave my blood, sweat, and tears to build. Over my dead body.

    “What a fucking dump,” I growled.I bared my teeth as a low, hiss-like sound emerged from my chest. The four-hour drive north had left me feeling antsy and restless. My skin itched for me to shift, but I couldn’t. Not yet.Fucking Avail.This sealed it. I was going to murder my cousin.Okay, fine. The drive was long, but I did enjoy the scenery. North Jersey was lush and green, with forests, hills, valleys, and huge tracts of farmlands, though not as big as those in the southwestern part of the state.My new house and lands, courtesy of a huge chunk of my trust fund, sat just beyond an enormous wrought iron gate that held a weathered sign with the letters Mi l r R n h barely visible.I had no idea what they once said, and furthermore I did not care. This place was a mess. A veritable fucking dump even though I was pretty sure it was supposed to be a large ranch style house.Right off the bat, the roof was sagging, the porch missing a few planks of wood in the steps. There was a

    This had to be the worst day in the history of days,My asshole cousin stood there, grinning at me like he had dirt on me and was about to tattle to Grandmother.Our relationship had only recently become close, moving beyond the normal Christmas card exchange and nod hello should we happen to be frequenting the same establishment at the same time.Not that he did that anymore. Lucky bastard was too busy with his family.Grrr.The Devil inside me growled his envy. It was a vice I did not relish, nor did I care to admit I was feeling jealous of Avail and his mate, Stephanie. The former human was now a Jersey Devil herself, and it was a wonder to us all.The claiming bite rarely inspired a creature in the promised of one such as us. But in their case, well, they say only the truest of fated mates can conjure magic where least expected.Like I said. Avail was a lucky bastard.“Might as well spit it out, Avail,” I said, increasingly bored with this game of parading my own failures o

    Something tickled the periphery of my brain.I couldn’t identify it. Not yet. Not while sleep still clung to me like the cloying stench of the too-strong perfume the women I’d fucked around with last night wore.Was someone here?An animal?A person?Whoever it was, they weren’t a threat. At least, not yet.They were simply hovering there, while I came to slowly, still enjoying my time on the other side of consciousness.I wasn’t worried, though. If I was in danger, my Devil’s instincts would surely have woken me up before now.I sighed and stretched, appreciating the cool, dewy grass as it slid across my overheated skin.It felt even better than the ridiculously high thread count of my Egyptian cotton sheets back inside my bedroom.But maybe that was because this house, my room, all of it felt like some kind of cage trying to trap me in. I mean, it wasn’t always that way. But just lately.Fuck. Yeah. Lately.The September sun was beating down on me from above. I could feel

  • Wyvern Protection Unit   Chapter Epilogue

    After six and a half hours of intense labor, Jennifer delivered a healthy baby boy at precisely ten o’clock at night. Jennifer and Zircon’s son arrived fifteen minutes after Carolina and Kimberley both delivered a set of twins, all male, and five minutes before Candy brought three baby girls into the world.Arthur Wessex was puffing on a cigar, the man’s grin larger than the Cheshire cat. Meanwhile, his sons were on a mandatory ice cream run, demanded by their mates who, after hours of labor, were positively determined to indulge in creamy deliciousness.All except Zircon. Arthur’s youngest was currently inside his mate’s room, cradling their infant son with tears welling unabashedly in his eyes.“Hey,” Jennifer whispered.“Hey, baby,” he told her, sitting on the edge of her bed. “Look what you did. Look how perfect he is.”“Mmm, he is, isn’t he?” she said with wonder lacing her tone.“Are you feeling okay?”“Yeah. I feel good, actually,” she replied, sitting up and settling int

    Soaring. He’s got me soaring again.“What’s that baby?” he growled, slowing his urgent kiss and canting his head at her.Heat pooled in her middle at the depth of feeling she saw in his crystalline gaze. Zircon was so damn sexy, breathtaking really, and the fact he loved her sent her pulse to racing.“Are you reading my mind, Conny?”“Maybe,” he replied and grinned, making her body tighten at the sheer magnetism in that expression. “That’s the way with my kind and our mates.”He flexed his hips, brushing his hard as steel cock against her and she trembled in anticipation. He was the most thrilling, stunning male she’d ever known, and he was hers. Finally.Mine.“We’re not mated yet, Con,” Jennifer reminded him, panting as he ran his hands up and down her naked body.Goosebumps broke out across her flesh. Jennifer could hardly breathe. She was deaf, dumb, and blind to everything but the flames he was conjuring across her skin. His crisp fresh scent permeated the air, mixed with
