“Sign here. Here and here. Now this requests the documents to be changed. Mr. Richards will appear as the father and David’s name will appear with the last name of Richards.” The lawyer put papers in front of Melody. The pressure to sign them overrode her need to stay with her pup. She was exhausted from Malcolm’s use of her. She couldn’t believe how he could make her enjoy his dominant nature and actions. Yet hate it when she had to take a stand. Right now, taking a stand was not in her cards. She needed to keep her head down and make him happy. She just prayed he wouldn’t change his mind about this situation. There was no way she could grow to love him willingly right now as he was. Melody was worried about Ellie. What was happening to her? She didn’t like the idea of stepping back and becoming a silent partner. She was also trying to find out what happened or was happening with Malcolm’s mate. He appeared so sure he knew who and where she was, but
Ellie felt rested but sore. How did she end up with a dominant wolf interested in her? She could feel the aftermath of her last encounter with his needs, and she felt conflicted. Her body ached for more, but her mind kept reminding the scary wolf. Danger, danger! “Ah… you’re awake. Hm… You’ve missed quite a bit.” Jordan stood in nothing but a towel, his hair wet and tousled, his chest still bore drops of water. He held a second towel in hands. “What did I miss?” Ellie was fearful of asking, but she’d never find out about it if she didn’t ask him. “David’s first time in daycare went well. Malcolm has finally settled back to working and being productive. Melody signed all the papers without a fuss.” Jordan sauntered slowly toward the bed. The towel at his waist slipped a fraction of an inch before he stopped beside the bed. “What papers did she sign?” Ellie didn’t like how this sounded. He wore that predatory smile she’d recognized as something she had
Melody found Malcolm in the Sunroom where his office was, with David on his knee and talking to him about a spreadsheet on the laptop screen. David’s eyes watched the moving colours of the interactive graphs. “This is the first time I’ve seen you work. Want me to take David and get him ready for bed?” Melody stood at the entrance to the Sunroom and watched Malcolm with little David. “Perfect timing. Actually, I got quite a good amount done, but I couldn’t use your opinion on something. This account is on a business that’s been struggling with its social media presence. I was debating on recommending a full-time person or a contract part-time person. You’ve got experience with this. What do you think?” Malcolm continued to look at his monitor, changing things to move the shapes for David’s amusement. “Let me see how large the company is? Also, what’s their current social media presence and the size of the market they currently have?” Melody took David and c
Ellie knew she was in trouble when Jordan followed her into the bathroom. His damp towels hit the floor as he followed her into the shower, crowding her there. She didn’t have time to clean herself. He smiled as he took over and cleaned her hair. He’d just finished adding conditioner to her hair and his hands caressed her body with soap. She stood there; her back to him. When he got to her rear, she had to brace her hands on the wall of the shower. “Put one foot on the seat before you and thrust your ass toward me. Yeah, that’s good. Perfect.” Then his hands were gone from toying with the cleft between her buttocks and exploring the apex of her thighs. Standing like this opened her up there for him. He slipped between her thighs to sit on the bench. Before she could ask what, he was doing, his mouth joined his hands, teasing her core with his hands and tongue. “Jordan!” Ellie felt the shock of reaction slam into her senses and her desire spiked at a surprising rate
“Malcolm, I’m sorry. I can’t help you with that right now. My mate needs me.” “What do you mean, your mate needs you? Are you telling me that Melody’s little friend is your mate? I thought you just wanted to entertain yourself with her for a while.” Malcolm knew about Jordan’s dominant interests, and it was something they shared in the past. Now, with Melody in the picture, Malcolm was less inclined to share with Jordan. “That’s what I thought, and she is submissive. But I’ve knotted in her three times now. This last time was from start to finish. All that’s left is for me to bite her.” “Speaking of that, did she sign those documents?” “They are already on their way with the lawyer. She’s officially rejected her den and accepted my protection. The indefinite contract for her to be my submissive is signed, and I just need to bite her to make it permanent.” “So, what’s the problem? Why can’t you help me with this?” “Malcolm,
Ellie watched Jordan put her to bed and set a tray of food nearby. However, his cellphone rang, and he stepped out of the bedroom to take the call. Ellie couldn’t hear the words, but Jordan didn’t sound happy about whatever the subject of the call was about. Ellie sat in bed after he made sure she would be comfortable. Ellie didn’t know what she was going to do. Mated to a wolf was insane, wasn’t it? She wasn’t mated yet. He was insisting it would happen. But would he even feel the slights or hear the insults? Ellie was determined not to be running to him when they happened, but could she live with them? Jordan came back into the bedroom and settled on the bed beside her. “That was Malcolm, and he understands I am not available right now.” “If you have to work, I understand.” “I don’t have to work, and we need to talk while we aren’t judgement impair with chasing the high of fucking each other.” “You realize y
Malcolm stopped dead in his tracks and watched Melody carefully. “How many other videos and photos are out there, Malcolm? Again, who’s seen these? That was a private weekend. Where are all the other women’s photos and videos? Hm? This is what creeps do. Take pictures of unsuspecting women.”“You searched my computer? I thought I locked down that drive. Wait. There aren’t any other pictures of any other woman. You’re the only woman I have ever bothered to record our time together. Now enough of this foolishness. I’ll just delete the icon and clear the trash bin; lock the drive and they’ll never know it was there. I’ve never watched it on the computer. Only on my personal phone.” Malcolm couldn’t believe she found them. He’d all but forgotten about them. How could he have forgotten to do something about them?“What? It’s whacking material? I thought you said you had others to deal with that when and where you want it?” Melody was all but seeing red after watching that video. Oh, she ha
Jordan led Ellie to the rooftop park the pack created there. The building had to be specially constructed to hold the weight of its living rooftop. It hadn’t been easy to find a supernatural architect to plan this out. So, they sent one to school and provided this service to the supernatural world at large. That was an untapped market, and they were filling it.He was proud of the space; it was a unique and calming space in the middle of an environment wolf shifters didn’t find extremely comfortable. He stepped from the elevator into a small series of rooms. This was where people left their clothes and other belongings, a place to get a drink and snack that they could enjoy during their time here. Gardening tools, and the like.Humans would see this place as extravagant and excessive. But to a wolf shifter, this was a home away from home, a place where rituals and celebrations could be held. Some still worshipped the old gods. That was what this place was to them. Others, like Jordan
