My arms were crossed the entire car ride in the SUV that was transporting us back to the Ventrel coven as I sat beside Acelin. I stared forward, but I saw the glances he kept giving me every so often. He didn’t speak, though, and I was sure he knew I was in a mood and not to test me at that time.‘I am here to collect you,’ he said. That really pissed me off. Collect me like I was some item. More like an escaped prisoner. I had so many more things to do, so many more important things than to deal with whatever Claudis had in mind with me. I knew eventually I had to go back, but it was supposed to be on my own time. I was pouting hard.Surprisingly, Adrian didn’t fight it much even though our quickie session had been ruined, but with Acelin there, we weren’t really able to pick up where we left off. He thought it would be a better idea to go peacefully rather than cause a scene, and I partially agreed realizing he sent Acelin to get me and the next time it would probably be someone not

My reflexes kicked in and I ducked quickly as an orange went flying over my head. “Ha!” I scoffed triumphantly. She missed.“If I truly intended to hit you, little witch, I would have. The next item thrown at your head will not be so soft. It will have a sharp edge made for skin piercing.” She snarled back. Oh, she was fuming.As expected, after completing her task she went on a rampage. She got my food as I had commanded… then threw the tray at my feet. I guess she had found a loophole. If her anger had not been directed at me, it would have almost been funny. I stood watching her in her flustered state now feeling a bit more confident that at least I could possibly protect myself if she really intended to do me harm. I think I was finally figuring out how to tap into my power at will. But was there a limit on what I could do or how often I could use it?I looked down at the food that lay on the ground at my feet. The rich had it made. People are literally starving and y

“Her name was Iliana, and she was the most beautiful woman I had ever seen,” He began, and I almost swooned from the potential excitement. I could already tell this was going to be juicy. Yeah, I was a real sucker for a good love story. All that was missing was the popcorn and snacks. Never would I have thought that Claudis the dick would be such a romantic. Maybe he wasn’t so bad after all. “I met her years before Onyx was born at a time in my life where I was not looking for much. Back then, women were a means to an end. Before her, there had been many, but I never loved or even cared for them. Still, I had a very particular taste, only bedding the ones with highest potential in order to produce a suitable heir, and they of course were more than happy to provide.”Never mind. I take it back. Not romantic at all. Very much still a dick.He must have read the disgusted look on my face because he grinned and backtracked quickly. “I can only imagine what you are thinking,

In and out… Acelin went in and out of me slowly. I tugged at his shirt with a need to see and feel more of him. Somehow he managed to pull it off while still holding me up against the wall moving inside of me like he had a third arm, but by the way he had me feeling stretched out, I was sure it was more like a third leg. When had I become such a perv?My hands trailed down his chest and along the side of his abs while I watched him intently. My moans and his groans were mixed in with god own. Our bodies were in synch. A small layer of sweat had formed on his forehead, his brow was creased and his hair was tousled in a sexy way as he concentrated fully on pleasing me. I’m not sure if he knew, but he had far exceeded that goal. The way his black eyes contrasted against his pale still so intriguing and I think I was starting to like it when he showed that side of himself. He was literally perfect. Someone took their time making him. I wrapped my arms around his neck tightly again searc

“That was some show back there,” Aries spoke from behind me moments later as I continued my confident stroll in front of her. I scoffed. Is that all she had to say? No apologies? Why are all the pretty women such mean girls around here?“Oh, did you like that?” I smirked. “Hardly. It was unnecessary and reckless. I’m not sure what you were trying to prove, but you shouldn’t be flaunting your powers around like that, not to mention announcing to any stranger that will listen who you are. That is, if you are actually who you say.”She paused as I continue forward, my body going rigid. Good thing my back was toward her. She just read the hell out of me. And damn if she wasn’t right. What was I thinking? Once again, I let my emotions get the best of me. I really was a novice. There were potentially dangerous beings after me, and I decided to take the time to bolster my abilities just for a fleeting moment of satisfaction?Girl, grow up. Yeah, I wasn’t too proud to admit when I was i
