CHASE“Where do you think you’re going?” I growl as I feel Vienna’s fingers on my forearm, working to free herself from my tight grip around her waist. Her body momentarily tenses against mine at the realization that I’m awake, lying behind her with my chest pressed tightly to her back. Then she goes right back to trying to squirm out of my hold, her naked body rubbing against me and giving my dick all sorts of ideas. “Let me go,” she huffs, fingernails digging crescents into my forearm.I tighten my grip around her in response, my cock growing harder against her ass. “Nah, I don’t think I’m done with you yet,” I chuckle into her soft hair as she continues her futile struggle.“Fuck you,” she hisses.I buck my hips, poking her ass cheek with my morning wood. “Now we’re talkin’.”Vienna lets out a frustrated groan, her body going slack in my arms as she relents. She just lies there for a moment, panting, no doubt trying to figure out another way out of her current predicament. I, on

VIENNAIcy twigs crunch under my feet as I make my way through the forest, the warm glow of a fire near the edge of Norbury’s territory drawing me in like a beacon. I shouldn’t be out here after Chase’s pathetic display of immaturity this morning, but after hearing the pain in his voice coming from that office, seeing the hollow look in his eyes as he stormed out of the packhouse, I guess I’m suddenly feeling sympathy for the devil himself. When I received a worried phone call from Fallon and Gray tonight asking if I’d seen Chase, I realized that I had a pretty good inkling of where he’d run off to and stupidly volunteered to go collect the bastard.My feet shuffle against the frozen ground as I approach the blaze of the fire in the pit, eyes scanning the bodies slumped in chairs around it. All five of Chase’s boys are here, as well as a handful of other people that I vaguely recognize. The girl resting cozily on his lap, however, is all too familiar.A twig snaps under my foot and Ch

CHASE I remember everything. It would be a hell of a lot easier if I didn’t, because then I wouldn’t know what put that wounded look in Vienna’s eyes when she left this morning. She ran out of here quickly, but not before I saw the flicker of hurt behind those big brown eyes that immediately made me feel like shit. Why the fuck did I have to go running my mouth last night? It came out like word vomit at the time, but in the light of day, I couldn’t cop to my slip-up. Not to her, and not to myself. It’s easier to pretend like it never happened than to actually face what that admission might mean; that Vienna Vega has well and truly gotten under my skin. I passed out for another two hours before pulling my sorry ass out of bed and into the shower, knowing what I have to do but dreading it all the same. By the time I get dressed and walk downstairs, I can already hear the sound of Fallon’s laughter coming from my dad’s office. My feet are heavy as I head in that direction, and the cl

VIENNA The lodge bar is a madhouse on Saturday nights- between the guests that are here for a weekend stay and the week-long guests that are enjoying their last night before checking out tomorrow, everyone seems to have a reason to celebrate while I barely get a moment to breathe. My feet are aching, my work shoes are rubbing against my heels uncomfortably, and I didn’t get near enough sleep last night prior to pulling a double shift. After Chase’s drunken declaration, my mind just wouldn’t shut off… and damnit, I found myself feeling way too comfortable in his bed, in his arms, which only led to more intrusive thoughts. I should’ve known Chase’s inebriated confessions wouldn’t see the light of day, but his snub this morning hurt just the same. I wish it didn’t. I wish Chase’s stupidly sexy, dimpled smile didn’t take my knees out from under me every time he turned it my way. I wish his touch didn’t set my body ablaze, and I wish I didn’t crave it like I do. I wish he’d man up and adm

CHASEVienna’s tits are fucking perfect. My fingers sink into the pliant flesh, squeezing them beneath my palms as she rocks her hips against mine. My hands are bigger than most, and everything about her is small compared to me, but not those tits- they’re a perfect fit. Her smooth thighs slide up to my waist, legs wrapping tightly around my torso as her fingernails dig crescents into my shoulder blades. The girl is a scratcher- and a hair puller, and a biter- but damnit if those things don’t drive me fucking wild. Paired with the fire in her eyes, I’m a goner every time.She spent the night again. That makes four nights in a row now, but hey, who’s counting? Few girls have ever spent a single night in my bed, let alone more than one, and only because I was too blitzed out of my mind on whiskey or weed to kick them to the curb before I passed out. That in itself should tell me that Vienna’s different, but that would require me to actually acknowledge what’s going on between us, and I’

VIENNA “There you are!” Nessa chirps as I cross the threshold into the bedroom I’ve been sharing with her and her younger sister. She’s bent at the waist, stuffing clothes into an overflowing laundry basket on the floor. Hauling the basket up into her arms, she turns toward me with a coy smile dancing across her lips. “I was wondering when you were gonna…” Nessa’s voice trails off as her eyes meet mine, her smile falling. “What’s wrong?” I shake my head, looking away as I unzip my jacket and shrug it off my shoulders. “I don’t wanna talk about it.” After storming out of Chase’s packhouse, I drove around aimlessly for an hour, getting lost on the meandering forest roads throughout the six-pack territory. I cried angry, frustrated tears for the first ten minutes, Chase’s words replaying in my mind on an endless loop. ‘Why the fuck would I want to mark YOU?’ Like I’m so far beneath him that the thought of marking me, claiming me, is unfathomable. Like I’m nothing more than dirt under

CHASE “I’m coming!” I groan, dragging my feet as I shuffle to the front door of the packhouse. The person on the other side is pounding on it incessantly, and I’m tempted to pound my own fists into whoever it is once I get the damn thing open. I had a rough fucking day yesterday followed by barely any sleep last night, and if this relentless knocking is anything to go by, today is already shaping up to be just as shitty. I wrap my hand around the knob, turning it and yanking the door open with more force than necessary, a frustrated sigh escaping my lips. “What do you want?” I growl out, my body going rigid when my eyes drop to the small girl on the other side. Soft dark hair, big brown eyes, and a deep scowl twisting those pouty lips. My little devil in the flesh. She cocks out a hip and throws a hand on it, extending the other toward me, palm-up. “My phone.” I’m frozen in place, my brain struggling to process the fact that Vienna’s really standing here in front of me right now.

CHASE“What happened to your face, bro?” Alec snickers as he climbs out of his truck, taking in the state of my still-reddened mug. The blisters have already healed, but some evidence of the coffee assault remains, my shifter healing working overtime to repair the damage.“Don’t go there,” Cal chuckles, shooting me a smug smirk as he slides out of the back seat of my Ford Raptor, parked alongside Alec and Dare’s truck at the lodge. He reaches back in to grab our bags of snowboard gear, hauling them out. “He got into it with his girl this morning and he’s still salty as fuck.”“Am not,” I snap, snatching my bag from Cal and leveling him with a glare.“Vienna?” Miles probes, popping up from around the other side of the neighboring truck. His eyebrows shoot up to his hairline. “You two official now?”Cal claps me on the shoulder, flashing a toothy grin. “Our boy got himself a girlfriend.”I shrug his hand off my shoulder and shoot him a scowl. “Knock it off, Cal,” I grumble, striding aro
