It’s 4:30pm and I’m shutting down my workstation. I have the book open if anyone wants to schedule something, but I’m mentally drained.My body wants to be pressed against Adam and not let him go.Stacey- Adam wants to know if the schedule is clear and can he pack up for the night.Me- Yeah, I’m ready when he is.Three minutes later Adam comes out.“Miss Shaw, thank you for today. I’d be pleased to give you a ride,” Adam says, his eyes twinkling.“Thank you, Mr. Kingston, my husband is waiting for me, I can walk.” I smile.Me- Tell him what hotel and that I’ll be in the lobby in one hour.Stacey- Done. I can’t wait to be with my mate.Me- Me either.Adam leaves and I clean up a little more. At 5pm, I leave and walk back to my hotel. I pack up and go to the lobby. Adam is already there.He takes my bags without a word, and we go through the back of the lobby to the garage.“I expected you would have a driver,” I tell him, as he puts my things in the boot of a sports car.“I don’t see th
Possible trigger warning. Assault described. Racism and misogyny as well.Evie’s POVWhen we get control back, we are both laughing.“So, Bruce is a big old softy?” I giggle.“Stacey is just like you,” Adam laughs.He pulls me close, and we hug for a moment before we kiss.“We are dirty and need showers. I’m exhausted,” I say.“What about our time?” Adam pouts at me.“Well let's get showers and see what happens,” I tease him.“Fine, this way,” Adam leads me to the house.We bring in my bags and our clothes.“ADAM!” I hear a man scream.“Shit,” Adam throws a shirt at me, and I cover up.“Oh sorry,” A tall blonde man with green eyes meets us at the door.“Joshua, what the hell are you doing here?” Adam asks.“I came to plead for your help in person,” Joshua smiles. “Joshua Erskin, best friend of your.”“Mate,” Adam says. “We met today and if you can’t tell we are busy.”Joshua seems to now realize Adam is naked and I’m only in a shirt.“Just finish or about to start?” Joshua asks smilin
Adam’s POVThe moment I saw her in Bradford’s office I knew she was beyond what I deserve. Then, the way she handled the day. Her professionalism, creativity, and did I mention her mind. The way she dealt with Joshua’s interruption and how caring she is. Tell me everything I need to know. I won the jackpot and I better work hard to always deserve my gift.Once we clean up from dinner and I toss Joshua out on his ass. I look at my tipsy mate.“I thought werewolves could handle drinking?” I tease as she fumbles with the stairs.“Yeah, I normally can. What the hell was that tonight?” She asks, holding her arms out for me to hold her.“If Joshua is making the drinks, there is honestly no telling,” I laugh.“Well, you are going to have to carry me upstairs, help me shower and put me to bed. I am too tipsy to do any of it,” She pulls me into a kiss.Her body is perfect, not thin as a rail, not overweight. Tone, but not covered in muscles. Delicate, but strong.“Damn it, you are too beautifu
Evie’s POVI’m not an insecure nitwit! So why after Adam told the truth did I feel the need to tell him about Tyler?“You should use my office to make the calls to your family. Too many ears in the bullpen,” Adam tells me. “We have about an hour before the first people will start coming in.”I don’t know what possessed me, but I call Tyler first, “Hey Tyler, it’s Evie.”Adam was about to leave me alone but turned and sat on the couch when he heard me say Tyler. Yeah, I smirk at him knowing his can only hear my side of the conversation. I see him fighting to keep Bruce down.Me- You got my back, right?”Stacey- Bruce not only let him have sex, but live with a human. Oh yeah, we are in sync on this one!“Hey Evie, how are you? How did the interview go?”Adam gets up and walks over to me. He hits the speaker phone button. I roll my eyes.Stacey- I fucking hate technology.“It was going well, but then this Lycan barged in and took over,” I smirk at Adam, who is unamused.“Wow, so he refu
Adam’s POV“Bruce is asking for Stacey to meet him in the arena. She is ignoring him at the moment,” I tell Evie as we pull out onto the road.“She is wounded. She, nor I, understand how he could coward away and let you live with a human. I am struggling with the idea myself. Adam how could you do that?” She asks.“Evie, it wasn’t like I did it to hurt my mate. I didn’t think I had a mate. I was 28 years old, alone and I knew Augustus was going to have to name me heir. Iris was my distraction. But she also kept me focused. Growing my business didn’t happen overnight. I started doing campaigns at 21, just to let my creativity out. I was doing okay; I made a living. Just me and my ideas and a few contacts. Iris worked at the largest Media outlet in the Northwest. I took her to dinner to try and get favorable rates for my clients. I ended up sleeping with her. I got my favorable rates and a pretty steady fuck buddy. Bruce was pissed, he kept telling me to wait for you. That the goddess w
Evie’s POVStacey- So Adam is marked, I’m marked. You are all that is left, girlie.Me- Yeah, I need to find a way to get over this.Stacey- It’s okay to be mad. I’m just glad you didn’t let him get killed.I walk into the house and up to the room Adam and I shared this morning. I packed all my things and I hear them all taking downstairs. I hear Tyler’s voice, so I know he is awake. I hear laughter. That is also a good sign. Then, I hear glass. Oh, shit! If Joshua is behind the bar, I’m gonna need guest rooms.I check out the rest of the upstairs and there are four more bedrooms. Good, one for me and one for each of them. I take one with an ensuite. And make sure all the beds are made and there are towels in the guest bath.I change into a pair of sweats, put my hair on top of my head and take off my make up.“Evie?” I hear Adam calling me.I poke my head out of the bedroom, “I’m here.”“You aren’t going to share my room?” Adam looks upset.“No, I don’t want to be that close to you r
Evie’s POVI stare at the Lycan female for a long time. I’m waiting for her response. Finally, she speaks.“I can see the goddess hasn’t given you more brass than brains,” she begins to gather her things. “Word of advice from one female to another, know your place, and clearly you don’t. You are not special, you are mediocre at best, and even my son deserves better.”“Thank you, it’s good to see the bar set so low. That much easier to exceed expectations,” I tell her. Again, the males in the room suppress laughs.“Well, clearly you are too stupid to take my advice. So, I’ll leave you to your misery.” She walks out the door.“Would you gentlemen mind if I had a word with Evie alone?” Adam asks and my family leaves. “That was….”“Don’t say hot, or a turn one,” I cut him off.Adam raises his eyebrows, “I was going to say impressive. No one stands up to her. You flustered her, I’m impressed.”He moves closer and puts his hands on my waist in a loving way. He leans in and kisses my neck.“
Adam’s POVIt’s dark out and I was asleep, but not anymore.Evie is kissing my neck. I pull her close and she opens her legs around me and rolls us to missionary. We kiss and without words we start to make love. Her heels are on my thighs, and she is moving with me, I hold my body close hers as I thrust into her. Damn, she is so wet. She starts to moan, but I'm not ready. I adjust just a little to hopefully hold off her orgasm, but it doesn’t work. She digs her nails into my back as she comes undone. I can’t help it, her face, moans, and those nails down my back, throw me over the edge.I collapse on top of her, trying not to crush her.“I woke you up to go downstairs with me to get something to eat. We skipped dinner,” she tells me as I am coming down from my high.“Oops,” I say, making her laugh.I grab my boxers and she puts on my shirt.“What time is it?” She asks as we get into the kitchen.“Wow, it’s only 10:30pm,” I say surprised, I just go home four hours ago.“Feels so much l
