He leaned down, his mouth crashing onto hers with a savage, uncompromising hunger that completely shattered her remaining defenses. Grace let out a sharp, muffled sob against his lips, but she didn't pull away. The systematic isolation of the estate, the terrifying pressure of the corporate collapse, and the volatile, intoxicating friction between them collapsed into a single, desperate need. She opened her mouth beneath his, her tongue tangling with his in a fierce, aggressive rhythm that tasted of rain, expensive bourbon, and unadulterated dominance. She was clawing at his shoulders, pulling him closer as the raw chemistry consumed the empty room.

“The Crimson Court does not make deals with mongrels and half-breed queens. You want your mate, Lucy? Find me in the heart of the city of the dead. Bring the Wolf Mother’s shard. And we will see if your bond is worth the universe ending.” She snapped her fingers. The void dropped us. We fell through nothing, tumbling, the knot still holding us together, until we crashed into cold water, into light, into air. The world above. A dark forest. The moon overhead. I gasped, coughing water from my lungs. We were in a river, half-frozen, tangled in each other’s limbs. Zenard pulled me close, his voice shaking. “Don’t ever do that again.” “I’ll do it a thousand times,” I whispered against his lips. “

“Jake, let go of me now.” Across the room, movement caught my eye, not any movement. Two figures in a shadowed hallway leading to the stairs, Damien his tall familiar frame and dark tousled hair I’ve run my hands through countlessly was being tangled by none other than my fucking stepbrother Caspian. What the fuck? I get it Caspian was hot, but I didn’t think he swung that way most especially with his best friend. God I’m so fucking stupid. I thought… The more I watched the more it got worse, Damien’s hand cupped Cas’s jaw, and then—fuck—they kissed. Deep. Hungry. Damien’s fingers twisting in Cas’s shirt as Cas pushed him against the wall.

“I never thought in a million years that Ezekiel and I would end up together. I always thought stuff like this only happened in movies and books.” Susie laughed softly and nudged me again. “So, what did your brother say?” I blinked. “Say about what?” “You haven’t told Garrett yet?” she asked, eyebrows raised. “Why would I?” I replied, a little defensive. “I’m not crazy enough to walk up to him and say, ‘Hey, I’m dating your best friend.’ I’m not even sure how he’d take it. I won’t tell him. At least not now.” “Well, understandable,” Susie shrugged. “So now… tell me, have you guys done it yet?”

“You need some insanely handsome guy to fuck Stephen completely out of your system.” Heat flooded my cheeks instantly. And unfortunately… One very specific handsome man immediately appeared in my mind. Sebastian Blackwood. The image of his wet body. His dark eyes. The way he kissed me. My entire body heated embarrassingly fast. “Bella?” Amelia asked suspiciously. “Why are you suddenly quiet?” “Nothing!” She laughed loudly. “You already have someone in mind, don’t you?” If only she knew. “No,” I lied quickly. “I’m just tired.”

His scent, the firmness of his chest against my back, the confident claim in his hands—all blurred my thoughts and made my head spin. And the most dangerous part was the truth I didn’t dare say aloud. I was enjoying it. Every sinful second of it. “Kai,” he breathed against my skin, my name falling from his lips like something forbidden. His fingers closed around my nipples, pinching hard enough to send a sharp burst of pain through my chest. I cried out. The sound had barely left my mouth when Caspian bent his head. His lips found the aching flesh he’d tormented, warm and merciless as he drew it into his mouth.

My knuckles brush the back of her hand where it rests on the couch cushion, and she jerks. But she doesn’t pull away. So I do it again, slower this time, dragging my fingertips along the inside of her wrist, feeling the flutter of her pulse. “All that studying’s got you wound up.” Her breath hitches. “I—I’m fine.” Liar. I lean in, just enough that my breath ghosts over the shell of her ear. The scent of her shampoo smells so sweet, like vanilla and citrus…It fills my head, and fuck, I want to bury my face in her neck, taste that pulse point hammering under her jaw. But I don’t.

“Then it’s not just showing me what’s happened. It’s showing me what will.” Theo reached beside the table again and pulled out a second item from the leather folder. It was slim, bound in deep red linen, the corners worn with time. He hesitated before handing it to her. Her breath caught the moment she saw the title: The Crimson Letter By Isla Ward She stared at it, her hand hovering. “Where did you get this?” “I found it last year,” Theo said quietly. “Tucked behind the books in the library’s upper shelf. I didn’t know what it was at first. Just that it felt… wrong.”

Lexi Walsh the mayor's daughter seems to think her beloved is innocent or does daddy's little princess just have a thing for bad boys? I threw the magazine on the couch. "Why do you read this garbage Rain?" "You're missing the point here," Rain leapt at me. "He's a potential murderer. You can't possibly work for this man!" "Rain the article said he was a suspect." "Research the case then," she said, "the killer hasn't been found. April you cannot trust extremely handsome and rich men. They have a way of getting things swept under the rug!" "You're acting like a crazy person," I snorted zipping up my skirt and stalking back into my room to find my other shoe.
