All Chapters of Alpha Maddox's Mortal Temptation : Chapter 251 - Chapter 260

I shudder. Watch him take off his shirt. Gaze never leaving mine, he spreads my legs open with his knees. When he stares down at me like that, I feel like I could . . .He inhales deeply and closes his eyes. Like he needs a minute. “Fuck.”I watch him stroke himself through the fabric of his sweatpants. I’ve been around Zane a lot in the past week, and I’m not so unobservant to have missed his erections, but the ridge of his cock always gives me pause. He is . . . large. Perfect. Already leaking through his clothes.I want to touch him. I want to do everything with him.Anything he asks for, he can have.“Is this what worries you?” he asks. “That you’re too wet?”I nod. Cannot bring myself to say anything.“You really have no idea, do you?”A moment later, his face is in my cunt. His eyes drift shut as he laps, sucks, presses kisses against it. I can’t tell whether he’s doing this for me or for himself, but I arch in a surge of pleasure and tremble, gasp, beg for more.He pulls at my

I CANNOT BELIEVE LAYLA DIDN’T MENTION IT!”“She probably assumed you knew.” Zane smiles a little and keeps drumming his fingers on the curve of my hip. “I certainly did.”“This is mind-blowing. Does Lucien have one?”He scowls. “I have not personally witnessed it, but— ”“I didn’t mean . . . I’m not interested in my best friend’s husband’s penis. Or, I am, if she wants to, you know, talk about it because of issues they’re having. Say he was struggling with erectile dysfunction and Seraphine wanted to confide in me, I wouldn’t be like, I don’t care, shut up, but I also wouldn’t solicit nudes of Lucien— ”“Anna.”I clear my throat. “I think Seraphine may have tried to warn me.”“About knots.”“I thought she was on her usual bullshit, so I ignored her.”“Understandable.”“There’s a Human urban legend that Weres have inflatable dicks, but it’s widely believed to be made up. Like the rumor that Vampyres pulverize in the sun? But lo and behold, we found a single conspiracy theory grounded

I don’t say it, but he hears it anyway.“No.” He gathers me closer. “It’ll just make things worse when you leave.”Any response that comes to mind involves me shouting at him that I know what I need. I know what he needs, too, and it involves his wolf teeth as deep inside me as physics will allow. But I just came, and I’m too clearheaded to push his boundaries so shamelessly.So I let him kiss me. I let him tell me how much he loves every single part of me, even as he doesn’t mention the whole. I let him touch the place where we’re joined together, where his come and my slick overflow and dribble out, like we’re the only thing that matters in the history of the universe. I let him make me come again, and I massage his knot till he’s coming, too.I let him do everything he wants, and pretend that we have more than a short time left together.I WAKE UP IN THE EARLY AFTERNOON AND WATCH HIM SLEEP. MY heart flutters and my stomach bubbles at how beautiful he has grown to be to me, specific

THE FIRST THING AMANDA TELLS ME IN THE LATE AFTERNOON, when I emerge from Zane’s empty cabin, is a firm “Don’t.”“Hello to you, too.” I bend down to pet Twinkles, laughing at the enthusiastic wag of his tail.“Don’t . . . ?”“Dwell on the intrusive thought that everyone knows the nasty shit you and Zane have been doing to each other for the past few days.”I stop dead. “I wasn’t going to.” Until now.“Good. Keep it that way. Zane’s inner circle is very happy that Mommy and Daddy got it on.”I have so many questions about that, I decide to ask none. I take a resigned seat on the porch, enjoying the way Twinkles curls up against me, the breeze caressing my skin.I want more of this. I want to explore the cliffs and the shores as a wolf. I want to go for a run. My cells itch for it.“Are you . . .” Amanda eyes me, circumspect. “All intact? I know Heats can be, um, tempestuous situations. He didn’t . . . ?”“Mommy did not hurt Daddy. Or vice versa,” I say dryly. “What about you? How was

“Maybe I could help you,” she adds, tentative. “I could show you where some of our hideouts are. We could go together— ”“No,” Zane and I say in unison, forcefully. We share a glance, and he continues. “How old are you?”“Sixteen.”“Son of a bitch.” He briefly hangs his head. Massages the bridge of his nose. “You’re way too young to be caught in this. We don’t know if they are guarding their hideouts, or whether they will treat you as a threat. You’ve been through enough. Your involvement in this bullshit ends now.”Nele blushes, looking scandalized.Zane cocks his head. “Did you really just offer to escort me into a life- or- death situation, only to balk at the word ‘bullshit’?”The flush deepens. “The thing is, after what happened last week, there are . . . a little less than fifty Favored left. About half of them are Weres. And . . . my older sister, she’s currently with them."My stomach sinks.Zane sighs. “Could you write me a list of the members?”“I already have. It’s in my r
