Maya Dean heartily tucks into a big breakfast, like he hasn’t got a care in the world, while I sip on a glass of orange juice and nibble the corner of a piece of toast. My stomach is in knots and I can’t face any more food. The only other pack members up this early are dressed in construction gear, Nathan’s employees, and they can’t hide their interest in what’s going on. If they didn’t hear what happened last night, they can definitely sense the tension in the air. The packhouse practically buzzes with dominant alpha vibes as Dean and Rex sit beside each other. They make chit-chat about some recent announcement from Alpha Steel that he’s going to bring back the alpha games, and how it might work. It used to be huge by the sounds of it and I can imagine every other pack being excited about it, but not these two. They're both men of few words with little time for the meaningless displays of power and strength that a challenge of this sort would represent. Dean isn’t a fan of interacti

Maya Nathan’s words barely reach me through the cloud of lust that fills my head. His supple lips against my skin already have me panting and squirming in my seat, but when he touches my pussy ever so lightly through my jeans again, I nearly come off my chair. “Nathan,” I beg, not sure whether I’m asking him to stop or keep going. Shoving my hand between my legs, I block his access and he chuckles softly against my sensitive neck, making me tingle all over. Slowly, I force my eyes open when he pulls back, just a few inches, but giving me room to breathe and get my bearings again. What am I doing? Anyone could see us? “We’re up,” he says, smiling reassuringly at me, before nodding to the open window beside me. I turn to look outside, and I gasp, stunned to see white fluffy clouds below us and an expanse of bright blue sky. Clutching his hands, I swivel in my seat to face him. It’s incredible. And now that we’re not climbing anymore, it feels like we’re just floating up here. If I don

NathanThe next two days are just for us. I wasn’t expecting to be here this early, so I’ve got no meetings until Wednesday. It’s bliss. I can’t remember the last time I had a holiday.Since Rex was rejected by his mate Stacey and it was clear he wouldn’t be taking over as alpha of the pack, Cooper and I have been working hard to put our own stamp on things and expand the businesses we own and run. The brewery has been an enormous success, even without Ethan around anymore. That’s only temporary. I’m convinced of it. He feels he’s let us down, and he’s gone away to lick his wounds, but he’ll be back. If it goes on too long, though, we might have to drag him back.The construction business, though, has become the real cash cow. We own a few five-star resorts which are profitable and employ a lot of the pack. Hayley and Cooper run that side of things, but the expansion of the building business has been my baby for the last few years. I’m here to meet with the new owners of a hotel furth

Maya“So you were going to sneak out without telling me,” Ross whispers into my ear.I leap off the couch, my heart pounding in my chest, as I realise I completely zoned out. A few guests turn to look our way as Ross doubles over laughing, one hand braced on his thick thigh, enjoying my reaction immensely.I stumbled to the lobby on wobbly legs and decided a run wasn’t really going to be an option for a few minutes. Then I drifted off into daydreams about Nathan’s broad, flat pecs and his tanned muscular thighs and I struggled to make myself leave the building. All I could think of was going back up to that room and finishing what he started. To hell with the consequences.“Maya? Maya?”Ross snaps his fingers to get my attention and I jump. Shit. I did it again. Coming back to reality, I blink at Ross and realise I’ve drifted toward the elevator bank without meaning to, already halfway across the room on my way back to my room and Nathan. Frowning in confusion, I meet Ross’s gaze as

NathanHearing the door to the suite open and close again quietly, I think it’s Maya sneaking back in to finish what we started earlier. Either that or she’s back to have it out with me for sending Ross to join her on her run. I knew she wouldn’t be happy with that, but I promised her brother I’d keep her safe and I intend to do just that.Stepping out of the shower, I towel off quickly, slightly disappointed that she isn’t coming in to join me. A sexy shower might be just the thing to bring us to the next level. It seems more likely by the second that she isn’t here to seal the deal as she waits outside without coming into my room or even speaking to me. It’s obviously wishful thinking on my part.Maybe she’s got better willpower than I do because I am struggling already to keep my desire under control and it's only been a day. I can talk a good game but honestly, I'm not feeling very confident that it won't be me begging.Yanking a pair of tight navy boxers up over my poor neglected
