Of Beasts and Heartbreak Chapter Nineteen - Trapped
Tori’s POVI only had myself to blame for becoming sucked in once more, this time by a pair of ice blue eyes.Ellie wasn’t back yet, though heading home. I could hear the pop music in the background.“Before you ask, I’ve got you on speakerphone. And yes, my eyes are fixed on the road.”I nerved myself to say it. “I won’t be home tonight. I have to work late at the club.”I couldn’t bring myself to mention his name.“Have fun,” she said in a carefree way, devoid of any innuendo.I was grateful she hadn’t probed for details. Maybe she was still suffering from that bug.“See you tomorrow sometime, Els,” I said.“I’m going in to work so Goddess knows when.”“Take care.”“You too, Tori.”I ended the call simultaneously with my bestie and then went to face my blackmailer.He held out my pumps.“Put these on and bend over the bed.”“Yes, sir,” I whispered, setting down my phone and assuming the undignified position he’d requested.At least the comforter was soft.“Raise the hem of your skir
Of Beasts and Heartbreak Chapter Twenty - Walk Of Shame
Tori’s POVDawn was breaking when I found the courage to do what was needed. Calvin was still sleeping. Maybe I’d worn him out. I didn’t exactly creep down the stairs but realised my mistake when I saw the Delta in the small office close to the front door.Was he here already or hadn’t he bothered to go home?He spotted me, of course, but the words which would have followed his greeting of, “Hey, Tori,” died on his lips when he saw my expression.Did he see bewilderment, shame and fury mingled as I had done when I paid a necessary bathroom visit and saw myself in the mirror?“Travis,” I acknowledged.He hesitated.“Sometimes, the Alpha can be such a dick,” he said. “Can I call you a cab?”The last thing I wanted was to wait around for it to arrive. The sleeping beast might awaken.“Is this a good time to ask for a pool car?” I dared.Amazingly, that hadn’t been a lie and he just happened to know of a spare in the underground garage. I followed him below.“You’re lucky I was still arou
Of Beasts and Heartbreak Chapter Twenty-One - Drag Her Back If Necessary
Calvin’s POVI woke to an empty bed and a raging hard-on. Stretching, I assumed she was in the bathroom. As the minutes ticked by and no blushing she-wolf emerged – I found that enchanting about her – I realised she was no longer in my flat. Maybe she’d gone down to the office early.Taking a leisurely shower I allowed myself to relive the hot scene we’d shared downstairs followed by the even better conclusion up here. My one-night stands were infrequent since the timely appearance of Jewel, but Tori was the best of them.I found the email not long after booting up my laptop. It made me want to throw something. Contract-breakers are despicable and I had given her no cause. We were two consenting adults, weren’t we? This was unreasonable.Pounding down the stairs I was just in time to see Travis heading out. He’d had a long shift, though I knew he was used to it.“Have you seen her?” I barked, my gaze going to the closed office door.He turned slightly, as if unwilling to have this con
Of Beasts and Heartbreak Chapter Twenty-Two - Having It My Way
Calvin’s POVPredictably, Naomi came out of the office, making a fuss of Tori and barely acknowledging me. I found it funny now I was close to getting what I wanted most.“Join me for a coffee later,” she said, rubbing my financial adviser’s back as if she’d been in a car accident or something.I had no qualms about that. Her parking skills were even better than her driving given what I had observed both on the road and in the underground car park. And she was highly competent at both, cautious when she needed to be, daring when not.I wasn’t about to deprive her of a pool car. Not now. As it was we would be thrown together a lot and, while I was looking forward to it, there would be times when I wanted to keep my distance.In my office I came straight to the point.“Are you going to be professional about this?”Tori almost choked on her water.“Why wouldn’t I?” she managed, with just the tiniest hint of irony.This from a she-wolf who’d tried to wriggle out of a legally binding agree
Of Beasts and Heartbreak Chapter Twenty-Three - Suppressed Longings
Tori’s POVI was about to sign an amended contract which recognised my advisory role to the subs and also committed me to becoming Calvin’s personal sex toy. I couldn’t feel any joy in also being trusted to do the pack’s books given that I believed him to be innocent now. Yet it may yield a clue, given his various business interests, in the form of another name I’d been wanting to investigate.Alpha Joseph could have been lying through his teeth when he said what happened to Black Gold was nothing to do with him. Then there was the mysterious Alpha Tobias who never had a bad press. What had that been about with his supposed sidekick, Anthony? Hadn’t he recognised Alpha Calvin? Or was he trying to throw his weight around given that he was an associate of the owner of ‘Cheetah’s’?I wasn’t about to return there and find out. I would probably never have enough leisure time.We’d talked about STDs and regular health checks. When I suggested the contraceptive pill he was obviously pleased.
Of Beasts and Heartbreak Chapter Twenty-Four - The Misfit
Tori’s POV Ellie was in a very good mood owing to praise at work and the prospect of visiting ‘Remus’ the following Tuesday. I hoped she wouldn’t become embroiled in a situation I couldn’t justify to the Alpha. What if one of the club members chatted her up and lied about his marital status? In the end I needn’t have worried, because one of the security guys, Chad, pulled a sickie and Travis was drafted in last minute. Not that I wanted her as his target, but if I warned him off and asked nicely he may just ensure no undesirables made an approach she was unlikely to refuse. Quite how I was going to word that was my problem. I started off casually, asking if his mate was disappointed he had to work last minute. “Mel’s resigned to it.” “Is she here?” “Why do you want to know?” “Because I’m curious to meet her, a woman who cuts you all this slack.” He told me I was cheeky, though in a cheerful way. “Who’s your friend, the copper head?” “Ellie. Do me a favour, keep an eye on her
Of Beasts and Heartbreak Chapter Twenty-Five - Lies
Calvin’s POVI soon realised I had an expert on my hands. She used her tongue in ways even Jewel would have acknowledged outshone hers had my ex mistress been the self-appraising kind. What she was doing to the tip was exquisite, the kind of sweet agony I was keen to re-visit again and again.Instead of a jewel I now had gold dust.Her tears as she fought not to give in to the gag reflex gave me perverse pride and she took all of him into her hot, wet mouth before I started to thrust in and out, testing her endurance. She hummed, licked and sucked like a pro and a wicked thought occurred as my sap was rising.I would pay a visit to the pack’s brothel with her one of these days. Rita, the Madam, and I had an agreement that the Blue Room would always be available for my use. It was here in town, tucked away between some trees. I’d been a regular there, and not just as the owner, before Jewel and the assortment of subs.“Swallow it.”Tori complied, though I could tell the idea was repugn
Of Beasts and Heartbreak Chapter Twenty-Six - The Plan
Calvin’s POVI was on a mission to trick Rhodes into fessing up whatever he knew about Frances Culpepper’s whereabouts. Yet my spies were letting me down. That guy was slippery as fuck. Maybe he had an alias now.Call it coincidence but I happened to be reviewing the list of applicants for membership and a certain Xander West leaped out at me, simply because of the photo on his obviously fake ID card. Reading further, alarm bells started ringing when I saw he claimed to have sufficient funds owing to mining interests and a stake in a casino, whatever that meant. It was probably bullshit, but worth checking out.There was no way I would admit him through the doors here on a permanent basis, but if I could lure him to ‘Remus’, maybe I could learn more about what had happened to Tori’s sister.I’d been going to offer to help the remaining members of Black Gold but was called away – one of my sister’s many crises – and by the time I returned Alpha Joseph had scooped some of them up.For a
