His eyes were hooded and inviting as he gazed down at her like he hadn't seen anything or anyone as exquisite as she. Her core clenched with want as his lips dipped to her collarbone, nipping, teasing. She clung to him feeling needy, gasping as he reached her nipples.He sucked on her and she couldn't hold back a moan. "Please, Reece."Breeana woke up drenched in sweat and wetter than she had ever been in her life.It had felt so real that she had to look around to check if Reece was actually in the room.She closed her eyes and tried to get her mind and her breathing under control. The dreams had started almost immediately after she'd taken Reese to the hospital.Dreams where they did all sorts of things to each other. Dreams where she forgot or didn't remember they weren't going to ever be a thing. It would have made seeing him in person awkward except they barely saw each other.Reece was now taking up more security-related responsibilities so she didn't see him at the clinic anymo
His body was a marvel. He stood unashamed. Why wouldn't he when he had nothing to be ashamed of? Although Breeana had seen him shirtless, seeing him naked was something else entirely and left her breathless for all the right reasons. She stared at his strong thighs up to his…Breeana shook herself mentally. She couldn't stare at him in that manner, it was Reece for fuck's sake. Reece.Then she noticed he was also staring at her body. His eyes raked her exposed body shamelessly and she found herself reacting to his stare instead of flaring up at him."You shouldn't be looking at me like that, Reece." She finally found her voice fixing her eyes on his eyes, determined to not look below his neck."I know."But he kept looking at her so intensely that her cheeks burned."Then stop.""Do you want me to?" Reece's voice sounded so arrogant and self-satisfied that Breeana found herself wanting to hit him."Yes. You are so disgusting, it's super unattractive."Reece moved closer to Breeana and
"If you touch that chicken, I'll break your wrist."Naturally, Breeana's mom had to bring violence into everything."Mom, I'll still eat it at dinner. What is the difference?" Breeana whined, her voice in childish tones that always got her dad to do whatever she wanted."Touch it and find out."Like she would be that stupid.Breeana rolled her eyes and caught Ariana's gaze, Ari seemed to be biting back a laugh at the exchange between them. Breeana grumbled under her breath but dropped the plate on the dining table without taking anything from it."Is that chicken I smell?" Bree's dad wandered into the dining room, took one fried chicken thigh from the plate and bit down on it. "Oh my. I think I should invite Sean over more often. You never make anything like this for me.""Because I'm trying to keep you healthy." Breeana's mom sounded like she was about to throw something at her husband. Something heavy and blunt.Her dad must have felt the same because he turned to Breana and spoke
Ariana was in the hallway.They pulled apart.There was no way Breeana could leave without being seen. Breeana nearly slapped herself. When had she become so enslaved to her body's desires and needs? Ariana rounded the corner. Breeana thought fast and tripped herself making sure to land with a thump and yelled out loud, naturally, Reece reached out and tried to help her up just as Ariana reached the balcony.Ariana was a wolf so she would scent Breeana all over Reece so running off was off the table. Also, Breeana couldn't see herself but her hair had escaped the bun she had put it in courtesy of Reece's wandering hands so she knew she would look messy.Trying to stand up, Breeana latched onto Reece so that that would explain her scent on him. Then once she got her feet beneath her, she shoved him away trying to balance on her 'twisted ankle'.He stood there visibly puzzled. He knew Ariana was at the doorway but still didn't know what to make of Breeana's 'fall'."I don't need your bl
"I can't believe you are opening a store already. I am so happy for you." Breeana hugged Callie and Callie giggled.They had been catching up for hours now. Ryan was running late so Callie had broken down and told Breeana about her store's opening.Breeana couldn't believe Callie was already opening a clothing store and line. No, she could believe it. Her girl had been putting in so much effort so definitely it was going to pay off. It just seemed like Breeana was the only one stuck in one phase in her life. Reece.It had been a week since the dinner and everything wasn't fine. Okay, things were fine but Breeana could barely face herself. She felt that ashamed about everything that had gone down. Ariana hadn't even suspected a thing making her feel even worse.To his credit, Reece had kept their interactions since then brief and distant even when they were alone. Especially when they were alone. It was a relief and a bother. It was a relief because she wanted to do right by her sister
Breeana was running through her usual route that morning. The air was crisp and cold, just how she liked it and she was finally beginning to get out of her own head. There was no Breeana, no Reece. Just peaceful quiet and nature.She ran in human form today because she and Shar had been at loggerheads for some time now about Reece. Shar had told her that she was being a hypocrite. For someone who wanted nothing with Reece, why was she constantly thinking about him?Breeana didn't have an answer for her yet. Shar was ignoring her presently. It hurt Breeana that Reece had also come between her and her wolf. All the while he just remained unaware and blissfully oblivious, he was too busy with the woman of his dreams to realise how much of the fallout she was taking.Maybe it was because she was thinking about Reece and not so much about her surroundings that it happened. After all, she passed this route every day so she had been lulled into a state of complacency. While running, she tri
After meeting Anya, Reece had immediately wanted to get Breeana sent off but Ryan had put his foot down. He had threatened Reece with completely cutting him off from his wolf side. He couldn't be Alpha if he had no wolf after all.Do you see now Ryan? Because of us, Breeana was in danger today. If I had already sent her away, none of this would have happened.Ryan was silent but the silence felt contemplative.Reece focused on where he was headed and the container in his pocket that seemed unexpectedly heavy.*******Ariana got the phone call after her shower. When she saw Reece's caller ID she had been elated, she'd thought maybe he wanted to fix a date or something. Then she picked up the call.She shook uncontrollably and pulled on the first outfit in her cupboard. Ariana rushed out of the house towards the clinic. She hoped Breeana was fine. On her way there, however, someone bumped into her. It was Sarah. Her usually impeccably styled hair was streaked with dirt and dry leaves. H
The last person Reece thought he would see first thing in the morning was Breeana."Sorry, I needed to see you. Can I come in?" She sounded a little bit nervous.Reece cleaned his eyes with his fingers blinking rapidly. Was he dreaming?"Sure… come in." What else could he have said? Stay outside because I'm insanely attracted to you and I am home alone?She entered the house and looked around."Your dad?"Reece waved away her question and went to the kitchen to hunt for coffee. Everything made sense after coffee. "He's practically been living at his office in the pack house since the attack.""Right." Breeana tucked her hands into the back of her jeans bringing Reece's attention to her extremely luscious curves."You came here for something." Reece said gruffly. The coffee wasn't coming along as quickly as he would have liked. He wanted her to state her business quickly and leave before the mate bond made him do something exceedingly stupid."Yeah, I uh… wanted to thank you for Sarah.
