Heat

NicoleI stood beside Leah in the kitchen, chopping vegetables while the smell of garlic and onions filled the air. It felt nice to have some normalcy after everything that happened with Zach earlier, my body still hummed with leftover warmth. Every time I moved, I remembered his hands, his voice, the way he looked at me like I was something precious. I tried to focus on the knife in my hand.Leah bumped my shoulder gently. “So… have you made up your mind about Zach?”I nearly sliced my finger. My cheeks burned instantly. “What?”She smiled, not even looking up from the sauce she was stirring. “There’s no need to pretend, honey. Everyone knows what’s going on. The way you two look at each other? It’s obvious.”I set the knife down and pressed my hands to my hot face. “Leah…”“I’m not judging,” she said softly. “I just want to know where your head’s at.”I let out a shaky breath. “I… I don’t want to think about it too much right now. My focus is going back to school. I need to get that

Patio Flames

NicoleThe cool night air kissed my skin as Zach pulled me against him on the patio. His mouth was demanding, devouring mine like he’d been starving for me all evening. I melted into the kiss, my fingers gripping his shoulders, heart pounding so hard I was sure he could feel it.“Zach…” I breathed when he finally let me up for air.“Shh,” he murmured, lips brushing my ear. “Just let me have you.”Before I could respond, he spun me around gently, pressing my back to his chest. One strong arm wrapped around my waist while his other hand slid under my shirt, cupping my breast. His thumb circled my nipple until it hardened. I bit my lip to hold back a moan. The backyard was dark and quiet, only the soft hum of distant traffic and the rustle of leaves breaking the silence. The thrill of being outside, exposed like this, sent heat rushing between my legs.He kissed the side of my neck, sucking lightly, then harder. “You have no idea how badly I’ve wanted this,” he growled softly. His hand d

The Morning Light

Nicole’s POVMy eyes opened before the alarm even went off. The room was still dark, except for the soft hum of the ceiling fan. I lay there for a second, staring at the ceiling, feeling the ache in my body from last night on the patio. A small smile touched my lips before reality hit me. Today was the day. My flight back to New York.I slipped out of bed and quietly packed the last few things, my charger, a book Leah lent me, the hoodie Zach had let me keep. My chest felt strangely heavy. This house had started to feel like home. I shook the thought away, zipped my suitcase, and rolled it gently down the hallway so I wouldn’t wake the kids.The smell of fresh coffee hit me as soon as I reached the bottom of the stairs. My steps slowed. Leah was already in the kitchen, moving around slowly because of her belly, while Jack stood by the counter pouring coffee into travel mugs. They were both dressed and ready.“You guys…” I whispered, surprised.Leah turned with a bright smile. “Did you

Hidden Howl

Zach’s POVI watched Nicole enter into her room and close the door behind her. That little smile she gave me before disappearing? It filled me with warmth. I stood there in the hallway for a long minute, fists clenched at my sides, forcing my breathing to stay even. Only when I was sure she was asleep did I let the mask drop.My wolf, Kade, had been clawing at my insides the entire night on the patio. Every thrust, every moan from her lips, every time her body clenched around me, he’d surged forward screaming one word: Mark her. I wasn’t even close to satisfied when we finished. I’d held back so hard my muscles ached and my jaw hurt from grinding my teeth. The release I got was shallow, because I couldn’t let go. I slipped out the back door and took off running before I did something stupid.The night air whipped past me as my feet pounded the ground. I didn’t stop until I reached the thick woods behind the property, far enough that no one in the house would hear me. The second I wa

That Smell

Nicole’s PovI grabbed it so fast I almost dropped it, hoping it was Zach. It wasn’t. Instead it was a text message from Leah.Leah: Hey sweetie, did you get home safely? Let me know when you’re settled. Love…I stared at the screen for a long second, the little bubble of hope popped painfully. No message from Zach. Not even a simple “hope you landed okay.” Nothing.Bella glanced over at me. “You good?”“Yeah,” I said quickly, forcing a smile. “Just Leah checking in. I’m fine.”She didn’t look convinced but let it go. We pulled up to our apartment building, and the familiar sight of the brought along a feeling of nostalgia. Home. Even if it felt a little different now.Inside, the place smelled like vanilla candles and Bella’s favorite laundry detergent. I wheeled my suitcase into my room and stood there for a moment, taking it all in. My bed with the messy blue comforter, the string lights I’d hung last semester, the stack of textbooks I’d abandoned on my desk. It was all exactly h

Uninvited Guest

Zach’s POVThe knock had already put me on edge, but nothing prepared me for who was standing in my doorway. Alice.I shook my head slowly, disbelief mixing with pure rage as I stared at her. She looked flawless as always, her dark hair fell over one shoulder, red lips curved in that signature smirk, and a black dress that screamed seduction more than power. But I knew better. Behind that exterior was a snake who’d strike the second you let your guard down.“What are you doing here?” My voice came out rough, barely holding back the growl building in my throat.Alice’s smile widened, like she’d been expecting exactly this reaction. “Why else would I be here, Zach? I came to see you, of course.”I stood up from my desk so fast the chair scraped loudly against the floor. My hands clenched into fists at my sides. “Who let you in?”She let out a soft, musical laugh that grated on every nerve I had. “Like I need permission to walk into this house. Please. We both know how things work around

The Long Awaited Call

Nicole’s POVThe campus felt both familiar and strange at the same time. I clutched the strap of my bag tighter as I walked toward my first lecture hall, trying to ignore the nervous flutter in my stomach. Being back at school after everything that happened felt like stepping back into a cage I thought I’d escaped.I kept my head down, hoping to just get through the day quietly. Attend classes, take notes, go home. That was the plan. No drama. No drama at all.My phone buzzed in my pocket. I pulled it out and a small smile tugged at my lips before I could stop it. He finally texted. He wasn’t ghosting me after all. Zach: Good luck on your first day back, beautiful. You’ve got this. Miss you already.After days of silence, this little text felt like a lifeline. I typed back quickly.Me: Thank you. I needed this ️I was still smiling down at the screen when a voice I really didn’t want to hear cut through my thoughts.“Nicole.”I froze. Killian.I didn’t even look up. I just turned and

Dirty Talk

Nicole’s POV“You still there?” he asked, voice deeper than before.“Yeah,” I whispered. A soft chuckle rumbled through the line. “Good. Now go inside, baby. Lock the door. I want to know you’re safe.”The protectiveness in his voice made heat bloom low in my stomach. I stood up and walked into the building, climbing the stairs to my apartment while we talked. Once I was inside and the door was locked, I kicked off my shoes and collapsed onto my bed.“Done,” I told him. “All locked in.”“Good girl.”Those two words sent a shiver down my spine. I bit my lip, suddenly very aware of how empty the apartment was. Bella was still out with friends.“Zach…” I hesitated, then decided to be brave. “I missed you. Not just talking. I missed your hands. The way you touch me.”He inhaled sharply. “Fuck, Nicole. You can’t say things like that when I’m this far away.”“Why not?” I asked, my voice dropping. “I’ve been thinking about the patio every night. About how you felt inside me. How hard you tr

Changes

NicoleThe shrill ring of my phone broke the heavy silence of my bedroom, making me realize it was morning.It was Zach."Hey," I said, sliding the answer bar, a smile already tugging at the corners of my lips."Hey yourself," Zach’s voice came through the speaker, "I know I literally just spoke to you last night, but I’m sitting here at my desk and I swear the room feels ten times emptier without you. I’m missing you like crazy already, Nicole."I let out a soft laugh, leaning back against my pillows and twisting a loose thread from my blanket around my finger. "Missing me already? Zach. Don’t you think it’s a little too soon to be getting all dramatic on me?""Hey, true art knows no timeline," he teased, and I could practically hear the boyish grin on his face. "Besides, can you blame me? Time moves at a glacial pace when you're not around to laugh at my terrible jokes.""They really are terrible," I agreed, a genuine giggle escaping me.For the next hour, we talked about absolutely

A Change Of Heart

Nicole’s Pov "A billionaire?" I repeated, my eyebrows knitting together as I twirled my fork in my salad. "Like, an actual billionaire? Why would someone with that much money be visiting a random college campus?"Bella rolled her eyes, taking a huge bite of her sandwich. "Exactly! I mean, I don't really understand why there’s such a massive fuss about it. The entire hallway was practically vibrating this morning. You’d think royalty was coming to town or something."I let out a soft, cynical chuckle, leaning my chin on my hand. "Honestly, it’s not that shocking, Bella. You know how the girls around here are. They are so incredibly fond of falling all over any guy who happens to be rich and popular. Give a guy a fancy car and a bank account with too many zeros, and suddenly he’s a god. It’s definitely not a new thing.""True," Bella agreed, shaking her head. "It's just exhausting to listen to. I had to sit through three girls in the bathroom debating whether he prefers blondes or brun
