All Chapters of The Lycan Captain's Off Limit Obsession : Chapter 11 - Chapter 20

KesheraI spent the rest of the afternoon feeling like my skin was on fire from the inside out.Both marks throbbed at the same time, one hot and one cold, like my body couldn't decide which claim to respond to first. By the time I made it back to the network office, I was exhausted, my thoughts scattered, and I still hadn't figured out what I was going to say to Sarah about any of it.She was waiting for me at my desk when I walked in, a manila folder sitting squarely on top of my keyboard."What's this?" I asked."Read it," Sarah said.I opened the folder and scanned the first page. It was a contract, dense with legal language, but the important parts jumped out immediately. Exclusive media access. Twenty-four hour availability. Non-negotiable terms drafted by the Vipers' PR team, with Drey's name printed at the top."This says I'm supposed to be available to him around the clock," I said, looking up at Sarah. "That's not a media arrangement. That's basically saying I belong to him.

RomaniI stepped back from her, my chest still heaving, and reached for the phone with a hand that wasn't quite steady."Don't answer it," Keshera said, still pressed against the glass, her voice breathless. "Not right now.""It's Jason," I said. "He doesn't call this late unless it's important.""Romani.""I have to take this.""You always have to take it. Every single time.""That's because Jason doesn't waste my time with nothing."She pushed off the glass, pulling her blouse back over her shoulders with quick, jerky movements. "So whatever this is, it matters more than finishing what you started.""That's not what I said.""You didn't have to say it."I glanced down at the screen again, watching Jason's name flash against the dark. "Give me two minutes.""You said that the last time too.""This is different.""Everything with you is different." She crossed her arms, her jaw set, her eyes still glassy from moments earlier. "Fine. Take it. I'll be standing right here, apparently.""

RomaniI hit her with the weight of my whole body, and we both went down onto the floor together, her back hitting the hardwood hard enough that she gasped."Romani, stop!" she shouted, shoving against my chest.I didn't stop."Get off me!"I pinned her wrists above her head with one hand, my other hand gripping her jaw, tilting her head to the side, exposing the unmarked skin on the side opposite where I'd already bitten her once that night."You don't get to decide this," I growled, my thumb pressing hard against her chin."I never decided anything!" she cried, twisting beneath me, her heels scraping against the floor for leverage. "None of this was my choice!""It is now.""Romani, look at me, actually look at me.”"I see you fine.""Then you'd see I'm not lying to you!""Doesn't matter anymore.""It matters to me!"Her wrists strained against my grip, the tendons in her forearms standing out with the effort, but she couldn't break free. I leaned my weight down harder, my knee brac

DexterI smelled both claims the second the door cracked open.Romani stood in the gap, his shoulders filling the frame, his eyes already gone black. Behind him, I caught a glimpse of Keshera sitting on the edge of a bed, pale, her hand pressed to her throat."You marked her again," I said."Step back.""You marked her a second time after I already claimed her.""I said step back.""Make me."He didn't wait for a second invitation. His fist connected with my jaw before I even saw the swing coming, snapping my head sideways, the impact hard enough to send me stumbling back a step into the hallway.I came back at him harder, driving my shoulder into his chest and slamming him against the doorframe, the wood cracking under the force. He grabbed a fistful of my shirt and hauled me sideways, throwing me into the wall opposite the door hard enough to knock a picture frame loose from its hook."You had no right," I snarled, shoving off the wall."Neither did you.""I bit her first.""Doesn't

ElissaI stepped off the private jet just after noon, and the first thing I noticed was his scent, faint but unmistakable, threaded through the city air like smoke.Romani's scent, and underneath it, something else entirely. Human. Female.I stopped on the tarmac, my driver waiting patiently beside the open car door, and closed my eyes for a moment, letting the wind carry more of it toward me.Not just Romani's scent tangled with hers.Dexter's too."Ma'am?" my driver said. "Is everything all right?""Fine," I said, though I didn't move yet."You've been standing there a while.""I said I'm fine, Marcus."He held the door a little wider anyway, watching me with the careful patience of a man who had worked for my family long enough to know better than to push."Should I call ahead to the estate?" he asked. "Let them know you've landed?""Not yet.""Your father asked to be informed the moment you arrived.""My father can wait," I said, finally walking toward the car. "This can't.""Ma'a
