EvaI was breathing harshly, and the hand I used to punch him was shaking. “Eva,” he said in disbelief. I saw that his lips were bright red with his blood. “What the hell has gotten into you?”“Get out!” I yelled, not feeling at all guilty about what I’d done. If anything, I wanted to hit him more. Goddess, I felt like an idiot. I was sacrificing my immortal soul because of some scum bag who claimed to want me yet couldn’t keep his hands to himself when a beautiful woman was close by. A scum bag was what he was. Oh, I felt like an idiot!“Not until you tell me what’s wrong,” he insisted, his tongue darting out to lick the blood from his lips. “I don’t understand why you’re the one being aggressive when you just agreed to being the Head Priestess of the new convent.”I nodded wildly. “I did, and it was the best decision I ever made!”“Why are you acting this way all of a sudden?” he asked. “I thought we were starting to become friends. I thought that…that you’d want to stay here.”“W
Cyrus What the hell just happened?I couldn’t explain it even if someone held a damn gun to my head. One second, we were arguing, and the next, I’d kissed her and then everything went straight to hell from there. I rushed to my bedroom, hoping that nobody would see me because I was rock hard. I closed the door behind me and then rushed to the bathroom. I splashed water on my face, but what was I thinking? It wasn’t going to be enough. Not even the coldest shower in the world would get rid of this boner. So, I unzipped my pants, and got straight to work. I came hard, Eva’s name dangling on the tip of my tongue. I could still taste her in my mouth, and smell her heavenly scent on my skin. Once I was done, I cleaned up and sat on the floor of the bathroom with my head in my hands. What was I going to do now?I had no clue, and that was a rarity for me. I always had a plan, even when everything had long gone to shit. However, everything with her was different, and I was all but losi
Eva I couldn’t recall ever being this disgusted with myself. Goddess, I was losing my mind. This wasn’t a joke anymore. I’d crossed all the lines. Before, lines had been crossed, but not like this. Dammit, never like this. And now, I felt doomed. The sin I’d committed was too bad. I made out with Cyrus. We’d been so intimate. The worst part was how I was still throbbing between my legs, and how the need hadn’t left me. It didn’t matter how much I prayed for this feeling to pass—it persisted. My body was on fire, and the only way to extinguish this fire would be by indulging in what it wanted. And that was Cyrus. I cursed him. I hated every inch of him. He’d done this to me and would never have to suffer any of the consequences. Right now, he was probably beyond pleased with himself while I was breaking down. I took a cold shower. It was incredible that even that didn’t help. My very skin was sensitive now, and the water pressure felt like hands on my back, which transported me
Cyrus I was starting to lose my mind, mostly because I went to sleep thinking about fucking Eva, and I woke up with that thought in my mind, too. Yesterday, I was too distracted by what Andy had told me to pay much mind to it. But now, now that desire had my full attention.It was almost like I could smell her from down here. I glanced at Brock, and it didn’t seem like he noticed this at all. Naturally, I wouldn’t ask him if he could smell Eva. If he did, would I have noticed, though?I wasn’t sure, and I didn’t want to know the answer to it. I glanced at the stairs. Marcia was coming downstairs with a tray. I assumed it was from Eva’s room. We made eye contact briefly before she went into the kitchen. I hadn’t asked her about what Andy said. Today was supposed to be the day of that investigation, but I was distracted. My cock was semi-hard all the time now, and whenever I thought about her, it got harder. What was this? I didn’t know enough about mates to understand. All I knew
EvaCyrus saw me. He saw me. I was completely mortified by what happened. I sat with my heart slamming against my chest violently and wondered if I would ever get over this. I doubted it. How could I ever have imagined that he’d break into my room while I was…why would he even do that? He never ever did that.I didn’t know how to pray anymore. Normally, I would have begged to the goddess to help me with this, but it was an embarrassing situation where I put Her aside, so how could I ask for help? I deserved this; every bit of it. That didn’t make any of this lighter to handle, though. The worst part? I was still needy, even though I’d probably climaxed ten times today. For some reason, it wasn’t enough, and I couldn’t understand why. I’d never felt anything like this. It was genuinely a sickness. I wanted more and more, and I couldn’t stop. Was this enough to fracture my mind and drive me to the brink of insanity? It felt like it. Sleeping was an impossibility. I was feverish
Eva By the time I was ready, as odd as that sounds, I felt more like myself. If I’d put my guilt aside and just put on my old clothes, I would have felt a lot better. I felt no need in this dress—not significantly anyway—and when I closed my eyes, I felt this rush of…goodness flow through me. It felt like the goddess had forgiven me for what I’d done. I left with Marcia. It was only the two of us in the back of the car. According to her, everyone was already there, and Cyrus had been the first to leave the house. The sound of his name made me shudder, and I asked her not to talk about him. She nodded respectfully and didn’t bring him up again. The sky was darkening quickly. The moon would be full today, and I promised myself that I would take this opportunity to try to do better. I was tired of being needy and desperate for a man’s touch. It was a never-ending madness and only made me realize how much I appreciated being touched by the light of the goddess instead. Our destinati
CyrusSomething was wrong. Terribly fucking wrong. Why could I smell Eva all the way from here?At first, I thought that it was my nose playing tricks on me. I spent a few peaceful hours away from the house where I couldn’t smell her anywhere near me, and now my body was probably playing tricks on my mind in order to drive me crazy. The longer I spent convincing myself that it was something else I was smelling, the stronger her scent got. It was impossible that she would be here, though, because I hadn’t reminded her of the event, and anyway, why would she be here? How would she even come here?“Right?” Alpha John was asking. The others laughed. I’d missed the joke completely. “I mean, if we all had to convert, then what would be of our poor wives?”“It’s not for everyone,” Alpha Gasper said. “Only those of exceptionally strong faith are able to resist temptation and follow the righteous path. I believe those people should be awarded for their efforts; for being better than the rest
EvaKissing Cyrus felt heavenly, and I hadn’t regretted the act until now. I didn’t think I could. Being close to him made it hurt less. The ‘heat’ or whatever else it could be called didn’t like being ignored. My defiance made it violent, and for the last hour or so, I’d been in excruciating pain. My body was punishing me for disobeying it and not giving it what it demanded. And then, Cyrus came along, and I felt like the goddess herself had sent him in order to spare me from experiencing so much pain. He’s above me now, grinding against me in a way that makes me moan into his mouth, gratitude flooding me. We’re moving wildly together, like two animals. That we are, but in this human form, we’re more tamed. This felt like shifting. Like making love in wolf form. “Eva,” Cyrus said against my lips, his voice a whisper. “Eva, Eva.”“Do it now,” I begged, my eyes closed at the intensity of the emotions attacking me. “Please. Do it now, Cyrus. Do it now.”I felt his hand on my outer
