Lyra's POVWhatever confidence I had about flirting with Cole disappeared the moment he touched me.It was easy to tell myself I could use his attraction to my advantage when he wasn't standing inches away from me, but actually feeling his hands on me was different. Every touch sent an unexpected spark through my body, making it difficult to remember who was supposed to be affecting whom.I needed to get a grip. This was supposed to help my mission, not make my heart race every time Cole Dravenford came near me.I picked up the ball again and focused on the remaining pins. At least bowling gave me something else to think about."Watch this," I said.Cole folded his arms. "I'm watching."I took my position, aimed, and released the ball. The remaining pins crashed down."Yes!" Caitlin cheered.I turned toward Cole with a satisfied smile. "Still not bad?""Better."I rolled my eyes. "Would it physically hurt you to say I did well?""Probably."Caitlin giggled beside us. "I'm proud of you

Lyra's POVI should have pushed him away, but the thought came too late. The moment Cole's lips touched mine, every sensible thought disappeared.For one heartbeat, I froze between his hands, shocked that he had kissed me again. Then something inside me gave in, and I kissed him back.Not because of the mate bond or because I was confused. I wanted to.My hands gripped his shirt as I tilted my head and returned his kiss. Cole reacted immediately, sliding one hand to the back of my neck and pulling me closer until my heart hammered so hard I was certain he could hear it.This wasn't like the first time. That kiss had caught me completely off guard, but now I knew exactly what was happening and was choosing to stay.Worse, I wanted more.“And you want him to do it again,” Lana whispered, almost unbearably pleased.I ignored her.Cole finally pulled away but didn’t move far, his forehead nearly touching mine as we tried to catch our breath. His hands were still on me, mine clutching his

Cole’s POVTraining with Lyra had been a mistake.I realized it the moment I walked into my office and found myself thinking about her instead of the documents on my desk. Her smile, her ridiculous comments, and the way her eyes had dropped to my mouth while she was lying on top of me kept replaying in my head.Fuck. I had wanted to kiss her again, and that was only the beginning. If Lyra hadn’t rolled away when she did, I probably would have pulled her closer and kissed her until neither of us remembered we were supposed to be training.I had no business wanting that much from her.Lyra was Caitlin’s maid, an Omega who claimed she didn’t even have a wolf, yet somehow she had become the one woman capable of occupying my thoughts for hours. This morning had only made things worse.She had smiled while telling me she might enjoy training with me, and I knew she was teasing. That innocent expression hadn’t fooled me, especially when she continued smiling and throwing comments at me throu

Cole’s POVTraining was going to be fucking impossible.Lyra stood across from me with her hands raised, wearing an outfit that had already tested what little control I had left. Kalen was finally gone, but instead of making things easier, having her to myself only made the pull toward her stronger.“Are you going to stare at me all morning?” she asked.I narrowed my eyes. “Attack.”She smiled. “Bossy.”“Lyra.”“Fine.”She came at me quickly, and I blocked her first strike before she twisted away. I followed, expecting another attack, but she ducked beneath my arm and slipped behind me.“Getting slow, Alpha.”I turned. “Getting confident.”“Maybe I’m getting better.”“Prove it.”She attacked again, and I tried to focus on her movements instead of the way her bare legs moved every time she kicked, but my wolf had other ideas. It had been restless for days, and this morning the need to claim her was stronger than ever.“Mate.” I ignored the possessive growl in my head and caught Lyra’s

Cole’s POVThe door closed behind Lyra, but I remained where I was, still feeling her lips against mine and her scent lingering in my study.Fuck. This was getting out of control.I had kissed her before, but this morning had been different. There had been no anger or excuse to hide behind. I had wanted her, she had wanted me, and if I hadn’t stopped us, I wasn’t sure how far we would have gone.I’m willing to be your little secret, Cole.My jaw tightened. That was exactly what I wanted, so why did hearing it bother me? I was the one who told her to keep this between us and made it clear it meant nothing. She had finally accepted my terms, yet hearing her say she knew her place made me hate them.She thought being Caitlin’s maid meant I could want her behind closed doors but never acknowledge her outside them.Then another memory surfaced.I may not have much experience, but that doesn’t mean I can’t make you happy.Definitely the wrong fucking thing to remember before work.I splashe
