MICHAELCome Sunday morning, I've had a chance to cool off.Yeah, I went off the rails.  But, like I said, I'm not going down without a fight.I've believed Anna was mine for five years.  Even during her pairing with David.  I've tasted her, breathed her in, seen her in my dreams.  But she's always just out of reach.  Like some wicked game with my heart.  I'm not supposed to love her, but I can't help it.I have to win her over.I suppose it's time to have a real conversation.   I walk up to her door and knock.A few moments later, she answers.  Looking like a total angel in a white sweater and jeans.She leans on her door and crosses her arms.  "What are you doing here, Michael?"I put my hand on the frame by her head.  "I just want to talk, Ok?"She pushes off the door and goes inside waving me in.  I shut the door behind me.We cross the living room in

RIVERAfter checking in and stopping by the barracks, I grab my training schedule and head across the lot to the field where my recruits await.I'm looking over my paperwork as I walk when a large arm falls on my shoulder.  "Hey buddy, how was the weekend."  Blade slaps my chest and winks.I stop and shrug him off, smiling.  "Good.  Well, it got better."He pulls his long, black hair into a ponytail.  The unit wanted him to cut it off, but he basically told them that anyone who comes at him with scissors is a dead man.  He's a big guy, so they let it slide.I arch a brow.  "What are you doing here anyway?"He stuffs his hands in his pockets and shrugs.  "They were looking for volunteers for recruit training, so I put in.  It gets me away from the stupid border shadow and I get to troll you about your fucked up love life."  He elbows my arm, chuckling.I flip through more p

RIVERI hit my alarm and roll onto my back in bed.  The morning light is just breaking through.  I scrub a hand down my face and pull the blanket off.  I'm not even awake five fucking minutes and my wolf is running circles in mind.  He's bright eyed and bushy tailed.  Just itching to see Anna today.  "Fuck, buddy."  I murmur to myself as I sit on the edge of my bed, rubbing my head.He starts incessently howling and whining.  I shake my head.  "Jesus.  Ok.  Fuck."  I get up and throw some track pants on.  He needs a run.I grab a Hoodie and don't bother with a shirt.  I have about an hour before I have to report for duty.  I'll run him out quickly so I can start my fucking day in peace.I get to the woods, strip off my clothes and call the wind to shift.  It swirls around me as my body hits the ground and rearranges into my b

ANNAA cold breeze rushes down the trail in the woods where I'm standing.  Waiting for River.  He linked me fifteen minutes ago to meet him here.  He sounded off.  I know it couldn't be about us.  I doubt things would change in a matter of hours.  I hope it's not the Dragons.  I'm not in the right position for that.The wind blows again and I catch a scent.  River's scent.  My eyes adjust to the dark and I see his strong form hike down the trail to where I'm standing.  Every time I see him, I have to appreciate his muscular chest and arms as they threaten to tear his uniform shirt.  He smiles as he approaches.  "Hey, Baby."  He says solemnly. "Hi." I smile and wrap my arms around his neck. I give him the kiss that he deserves.He grabs my arms and pulls them off.  He shoots me a quick smile.My smile fades.  "What's wrong?"He puts his

ANNAWe barely make it in my house before clothes start coming off.  The heat in my core is burning.  I'm dripping with lust and desire.  River can't take his lips off me for second.  We're clumsily climbing the stairs.  Devouring each other.  Leaving a trail of clothes and shoes behind us to my room.Every touch.  Every lick, bite, kiss sends wave after wave of pleasure through my body.  He's so easy to read for what he wants and how he wants it.  My body responds to every move he makes.  He presses his naked body to mine on my bedroom door, while he fumbles for the doorknob.  He finds it and we almost fall in when he turns it.  He catches me and grabs my ass.  He lifts me up and I wrap my legs around him.His kisses are hungry, desperate.  Like he can't get enough and neither can I.  We're bruising both our lips.  He tosses me on
