There was no hesitation on his part. Caleb’s hands shot out, and found her slim waist, wrapping around it to pull her even closer. Their tongues slipped into their mouths, causing a tiny whimper to escape her lips. She placed a knee on the bed, right next to his thigh, straddling him. Caleb groaned, one hand climbing higher, to grasp the nape of her neck. He felt her shiver in his arms, a reaction that had his heart swelling in his chest. This is the most he had ever gone with her, and it told of progress. The smell of her arousal flitted into his nose, and he inhaled deeply, as a growl emerged from deep in his chest. He suddenly flipped her on her back, his lips left hers to scour against her slender neck, the soft pants leaving her lips was all the music he needed to keep him going. Eager hands strayed past her waist, to her thighs. The dress she had on, had rode up considerably, so that he now had access to her bare thighs.  Caleb’s mind was in a h

   ***   That was just the trigger Roy needed. His feet led him forward at a speedy pace, he was a bit clumsy with his movement, as he took off the pants he had only slipped on moments ago. Kylie found some humor in his movement and giggled adorably.  The sound was enough to have Roy smiling like a teenage boy.  He finally got the pants off, and dived right into the water, disappearing beneath it.  Kylie laughed, as she could just barely see his hulking form swimming around her.  "Roy, stop playing." she called out.  He suddenly emerged out of the water and grabbed her by the waist, causing a yelp to tear out of her throat, and then rapturous laughter that was abruptly cut off, when he pressed his lips against hers.  Kylie wrapped her arms around his strong neck, and returned his kiss with an equal fervor, his tongue snaked out to seek access into he

The last time she had been within the walls of the Duncan Compound, their Alpha had been distraught, frazzled and desperate.  In this moment, he was none of the three emotions she had most felt coming off him, that day she found him hovering over a smaller woman, his usually completed self, a horrible mess. Still, she could sense how troubled he was, his eyes betrayed his worry.  Magnolia had expected this; for anyone to go through the things she had seen in Cassandra's mind, would mean they were bound to be greatly disturbed by it. At the time she cared for her though, her sole concern had been to heal the body. Normally, the fact that she was now a werewolf would have allowed her mind heal more easily, werewolves had formidable minds, the likes of which humans couldn't possess. However, the manner of her turning had ensured that such would not necessarily remain true for Cassandra's wolf.  Magnolia listened with rapt attention, as Caleb narra

She had no idea what she was doing, and Trina had resolved to not think of it too deeply, lest she lose whatever courage she had built up over the last few hours. Some things only came to you out of a necessity, some actions were motivated by feelings, rather than logical thinking.  This was one of those actions.  She charged through the palace, most of the occupants clearing the way for her, only because they knew her to be the witch. She caught the look of surprise on the features of some of Alejandro's men. It was an expected reaction; she wasn't seen on palace grounds, she always stayed put in her little hut outside of town.  Not today though. She knew the dangers Gayle presented, she knew the carelessness Alejandro wielded with a damning pride. As insufferable as he was, he still was her mate, and there was no way she would let Gayle lead him to his imminent death.  She made her way to Alejandro's chamber, her powers leading h

  The next time Cassandra opened her eyes, it wasn’t Caleb hovering over her…it was Kylie.  “You’re awake!” she squealed, her eyes widening comically, just before she pulled Cassandra into a hug.  “Don’t squeeze her back into coma Kylie.” Kennedy’s authoritative voice came, “She’s been out for some time, I bet she’s too weak for that hug.” Kylie took a moment before she released Cassandra, she had a large smile on her face when she finally raised her face to look at her…her eyes were also wet with tears, causing Cassandra’s brows to furrow in concern.  “Kylie…” she began, but her voice was so hoarse she couldn’t continue.  Kennedy rushed to the bedside with a glass of water, which she put to Cassandra’s lips, as she helped her up, “Ease your throat Cassie.”&nbs
