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 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

TYSON After we finished rearranging all the furniture upstairs, I found myself feeling weak with a pulsing in my head. My vision was starting to blur a bit too. My lungs ached and the familiar wet sensation flooded my esophagus. I quickly ran into the bathroom, just in time to hack up blood into the toilet. Fuck, I really had to lay down. I flushed the red liquid, quickly rinsed my mouth out, and then stumbled into my new bedroom, falling onto the pillow that had the strongest scent of Gigi. I inhaled deeply, taking in all her amazing perfume, thankful it clung so well to fabric and lasted so long. It was the most amazing scent I'd ever smelled, and I knew I'd have to ask her what it was again. I couldn't even believe it kept slipping my mind to ask. I supposed I'd always been thinking about other things when she was with me. And even as my whole body burned with the wolfsbane pulsing through it, and my head ached in a way it never had in my life, I still had a smile on my face as

BLAKE "Baby, can you watch Libby for a few hours today? Me and Erin want to go get some mani-pedis." Lucy threw her arms around Luke as he worked at his desk across from me. His look said everything. His shoulders tensed, nostrils flared, and he moved his hands from the keyboard, tightening them into fists. Honestly, I had to give him credit for being possibly the world's most patient person for having dealt with Lucy for so long. While she did have some positive qualities—she was very pretty, had bigger balls than most men, and wasn't a bad person overall. But, damn, she was fucking annoying, irresponsible, and had turned out to be a huge lush, especially in the past few months. "Are you serious?" Luke snapped. "What?" She asked innocently, fluttering her eyelashes. He let out a deep breath. "I've been going through the training rosters today." "And?" Lucy pulled away from Luke. "And did you have something to tell me?" He turned in his chair so he was facing her. She rolled h

GINGER I'd managed to avoid Heidi for a whole week. Don't ask me how that was even possible when I had to see her at temple services both Sunday night and Monday morning, standing there like a perfect goddamn mate to Hunter, as if I hadn't caught her friend between her legs days earlier. I had only the Moon Goddess to thank that Heidi would never confront me about what happened in front of our parents, especially at temple where anyone could easily overhear. But she kept texting and calling me. Ignore, ignore, ignore. I never wanted to talk to that hypocritical bitch again. She was no longer my sister. I didn't even care what explanation she had for what I'd walked in on. Okay, I was dying to know. I mean, clearly there was way more to the prude Heidi than I'd ever imagined. But still—my blood boiled at the thought of being near her. I was grateful to finally have something to take my mind off everything. I'd be starting my new job that day. Tyce had taken my resume to the former l
