I swallowed, staring up into his eyes. Elias was still waiting for my answer. His hold on my hand loosened, making me panic. I wrapped my arms around him to keep him from moving away. “I haven’t,” I answered him. “I wanted to but I was too scared that John or any of his guards might smell me.” “I for one, wouldn’t mind you walking around the apartment with the smell of your sweet pussy lingering on your fingers,” he whispered against my ear. I shivered, goosebumps breaking out all over my skin. Images flashed through my mind, of me teasing them, of their reactions towards me. It would be similar to the books I had read. “I called Alex,” Valiant announced as he entered the room. “Stevens is going to pick up the phone and take it to one of Alex’s contacts to see if he can trace the sender.”Valiant took a seat on the other side of us. His eyes darted over my face and then towards Elias for a few seconds before he looked at me again. “Will he come back?” I questioned. “No.” He gav

I smiled. “But I have been touching you.”She squirmed underneath me when I traced a hand up her side and then down to her ass again. “Tell me, flower,” I whispered against her ear. “How do you want me to touch you.”Daisy swallowed and remained silent for a few moments. “You’re going to take off my panties.”My smile widened. Hooking my fingers into the band of her panties, I tugged on it. Before she could raise her hip, I sat back so she wouldn’t feel how hard I was. Daisy raised her hips high enough for me to drag her panties down to her knees. My eyes trailed over her. What a sight she was. Scars and all. “It’s horrendous, isn’t it?” Is that what she’s secretly thinking about me?Unease settled inside me. My eyes darted around the room as my mind raced for something to say that I could use as an out. I itched to trace the scar on my face. “Elias?” Daisy turned onto her back, frowning up at me. Whatever she saw made her sit up and reach for me. “I didn’t mean you,” she sai

“I want a list of all the tenants in the building,” I growled into the phone. “I don’t give a fuck about your privacy policy or the law. If you want me to keep making ‘generous donations’ you will do as I say.”I paused, listening to his stuttering for a few seconds. “I expect the list waiting in my email in two minutes, or else.”Ending the call, I leaned back in the chair and frowned at the door in front of me. My eyes darted to the clock and then dropped to my phone on the table. There were still ten more minutes to go before I needed to make my hour check-in. I picked up my phone and dialed Val’s number. It rang and rang until it went over to voicemail. Frowning, I redialed, but the same thing happened. My heartbeat increased as panic filled me. Had something happened? We talked earlier and he said everything was fine, but that was nearly two hours ago. I jerked to my feet, grabbed my jacket, and hurried out of my office. My phone stayed glued to my ear as I hurried across t

It hurt.I squeezed my eyes closed but the tears still escaped. It was a struggle to get my lungs working again. But the low rumble coming from Alex was helping a little. It took me a few minutes to realize that he was purring. I had heard about the effect purring had on omegas, but I had never believed the things they said about it until I experienced it firsthand. “Breathe,” Alex instructed huskily. I sucked in a shaky breath, and once I managed that, it got easier and easier to fill my lungs with air again. Deep breaths, like he instructed while he continued to purr at me. Once I was sure that I could manage to utter a word without it sounding shaky, I opened my eyes and looked at him. “You bastard,” I growled. “You just fucking split me in half!”His reaction was not what I expected. Alex buried his face in the crook of my neck as he laughed. “It’s not funny!”He laughed harder. Letting out a frustrated growl, I dug my nails into his skin, hoping to hurt him like he had he

AlexNone of the tenants had any criminal records. But then again most of them were rich bastards like us. Money talks. You pay enough and your past could disappear forever. Elias had installed the extra security but it didn’t do much to set any of us at ease. We were making plans to rearrange things so we could make a safe room for Daisy. Elias was always at home, but on the rare case when all three of us had to go out, we wanted her to have a place where she felt safe. We were still deciding on what room to change into a safe room.My eyes darted over to the window. Dark rain clouds were starting to roll in. In a few hours, it was going to start raining. I needed to stop by the office before that happened. When it rains, there’s always bad traffic. I closed the files on my computer and stood. Voices drifted towards me as I walked down the hall. Elias was busy baking something and Daisy sat at the counter, dipping her fingers into the bowls and tasting whatever was in it. Dai
