Eric- The moment I smelled my body wash on her, I was ready to say the hell with it and carry her into the room. Until this moment, I don’t think I ever thought of a male’s scent smelling this amazing on a woman. I have noticed other females doing it, which I had found weird. Having my scent on her like this, was probably the most titillating thing I have experienced. Not only that but just knowing others would smell it on her gave me a sense of pride. If they didn’t already know she was mine, they would after catching her scent. I was just about to tell Jarod and Archer to fuck off for an hour, but then Tate walked in without knocking. I was just about to ask where Brook was when she came in a few seconds later with my niece and Jason. So much for the idea to take Leilani back to bed. “Sorry we are late, the babysitter wasn’t able to come this morning.” Brook said the moment she sat down on the couch next to Tate. This was the exact reason I was glad I had a large couch. Even wi

Leilani-Eric and I were the last ones in the auditorium after everyone left. I was still floored that Delilah wanted me to remove a scale from Archer. Looking over at Eric, he appeared to be waiting for me.“She can’t be serious.” I stated, not really concerned if he responded or not.“I wouldn’t know, but I am sure it will be fine.” His hand moved to my thigh, where he squeezed it slightly, giving me the impression that he was attempting to comfort me.I thought he was going to remove his hand, but he kept it there. His gaze moved down to his hand, and I saw that his eyes darkened slightly. Instantly I felt myself become aroused, thinking of what he had promised me this morning.Technically we were alone, even if someone could walk in at any moment. Not that I cared since this has been building up all day. I wasn’t sure what time it was, but it feels like it has been an eternity.Before I could say or do anything, he moved his hand up to my hip and placed his other hand on the other

Eric-“For all of it. I am not going to stand here and deny the fact that you were physically hurt didn’t bother me.” I began as I pulled back so I could look her in the eyes. “But I shouldn’t have let it bother me to the extent that I allowed it to.”“I was probably a bit too hard on you as well. Archer explained that you probably reacted the way you did because I am your mate. I still don’t fully understand everything, but I suppose I was in the wrong too. Also, I shouldn’t have slapped you.” She admitted.The last thing I expected was that Archer would have come to my defense at all. I was glad she was willing to admit to her faults, as well as mine. For our first argument, I suppose it could have turned out to be a lot worse, instead, we were able to admit our wrongdoings.Pulling her back against me, I tightened my hold on her and just basked in her warmth. I wasn’t sure how long we stood there, but she allowed me to hold her like this without making it become uncomfortable. With

Leilani-“The emotional turmoil you feel is enough to make me go crazy. Do you want to talk about what is going on in that head of yours?” Archer asked as soon as I stepped into the living room.He was sitting on the couch reading a book. It was weird seeing him with a book in his hand nearly every time I found him alone. It wasn’t that I didn’t think it was a good thing he was reading, but I was a bit confused that he could read.Being imprisoned for so long, I figured he wouldn’t be able to do a lot of things. Yet this is the third book I have found him with. Unless he never finished the other ones, he was perhaps more of an avid reader than I was.I loved books but here lately, it seems like I haven’t picked up a book in a long time. With everything going on, I was struggling to find time to read. Maybe I just needed to figure out how to manage my time better or something.“I was just not looking forward to what is about to happen.” I admitted, as I sat down next to him on the couc

Leilani-The darkness that surrounded me wasn’t right. Yes, it was nighttime, but it hadn’t been this dark. Blinking my eyes, I started to see some light moving in and out of my vision. I felt strange, like I had been drugged or something.“Leilani?” Eric’s loving voice filled my ears.I tried to focus on the light, but it was extremely out of focus. Blinking a few more times, things started to become clearer. What had happened? Had the spell worked?“Eric?” I whispered, as I looked into the light blue eyes of my mate.He released a harsh breath and his shoulders slumped mildly. Wait, why was I laying on the ground? I heard someone crying, a man perhaps. Could it be that the spell had gone wrong, and Charles and Isabelle didn’t make it?Sitting up, I was thankful for Eric’s assistance. For the strangest reason, I felt disoriented, out of place perhaps. I couldn’t remember what had happened.One minute I felt the other versions of me coming forward to echo the words Jarod and Delilah s
