Hana Kinsley: I am one of the few humans not born or mated into this supernatural world. As the Princess of the Bloodmoon pack, I grew up eager for that one-in-a-million chance of a mate. After two years of searching, I knew it was time to live in the human world, away from all things supernatural. I thought starting fresh at Yale was that chance to lead an ordinary life. Oh, how wrong I was. Albert, Aidan, and Isak: By any standard, our friendship is an anomaly. Vampires, demons, and angels do not mingle, yet we have been friends for three centuries. To the students and faculty here at Yale, we are just young professors who joined the staff six years ago. Every year, we choose new targets from the crops of freshmen. This year is different, as we all set our sights on the Bloodmoon Princess. Who will win our bet to have her first?
View MoreThree hundred years. Three HUNDRED years as friends, and I’d never wanted to smit Aidan or Albert. That record was broken the minute Aidan walked in and proudly announced he took Hana to Well Thumbed, as while he didn’t have sex with her, he did make out and fingered her. It’s irrational. I have never gotten angry over a woman. Aidan has fucked and fed his way around the world for centuries, and not once have I had this visceral reaction to Aidan giving his graphic details. Yet, when it was about Hana, all I could think of was killing him. This bet is ruining our friendship. I don’t care what Albert or Aidan say. It is. If we didn’t have this bet, I wouldn’t have cared if Aidan came home and said he’d gotten Hana on a suspension rack and used every hole available with his cock and the variety of toys offered at Well Thumbed. I shouldn’t be angry about this. Hell, the sooner one of us wins, the sooner this can be over, and I hopefully will stop feeling like I have to compete with my
As I perused the books, I could feel Aidan’s gaze on me. The shop, much like the one downstairs, boasted an impressive selection. These were books to be enjoyed in the coffee lounge, not purchased or taken home. A smile tugged at my lips as I reached the romance novel section. So, Well Thumbed had these too. I wondered if they had hidden gems, perhaps something I hadn’t read or that Uncle Alex’s book club, Bound To Please, hadn’t discovered yet. My eyes scanned the titles, recognizing several from our book club. But a series we hadn’t yet completed caught my attention. Not all the books were in print, and as much as we loved and wanted to support the indie author, A.D. Burnell, those reading apps could be a bit unpredictable. Yet, in Well Thumbed, all nine of her Queen Among series were here in paperback. I couldn’t resist. I plucked A Queen Among Snakes from the shelf and settled onto the nearest sofa. I set my empty cup down and delved into the book. How did they have books unavail
This was not going how I wanted it to. Well Thumbed’s members area is not something Hana’s interested in. So, I’ll change my method. I can be flexible more than just physically. If she doesn’t feel comfortable in a sex club and has an issue with how sanitary everything is, we leave—simple answer. We can’t leave the building without Malcolm and Pam, and I can’t get Hana alone if those two go wherever we go. That left me only one choice. “All right. Have it your way, Princess.” I sighed, grabbed her hand, and tugged her down the hall. “Um, did you listen to a word I said?” Hana Demanded, trying to break free of my hold. “Loud and clear, leannan.” I nodded, not looking back at her as we turned a corner, heading for what appeared to be a dead end with a gilded mirror. “It doesn’t look like it.” Hana snorted, finally able to pull her hand from mine. “I told you I don’t want to be here. You hear that and take me further into this place. How does that make sense? How is that hearing m
I knew it. I knew whatever club Aidan was taking us to wouldn’t be normal. What possessed Aidan to bring me HERE on a date? He put zero thought into asking for me to come here. Pam might be all for this place, and that’s great for her and Malcolm. However, I’m not. This is sooo not my vibe. I know everyone has some kink. I do my best not to think about what twisted shit people in my pack and family do behind closed doors. I’m not close to the Sicilian alphas, but I know enough that at least two have darkrooms. I probably shouldn’t be aware of that, but Colby and Azriel love to tease Darren about the sex room at his villa in Madonie. What consenting adults do in private is their business. The sign behind the bar featuring gold paddles with red hearts and red leather straps that crisscross to form an infinity heart above the gold words ‘Well Thumbed Members Only’ doesn’t make this private. I don’t call having sex in an open room with dozens of other people private. If there were mass
I was skeptical when Malcolm told me Hana agreed to the double date. It felt too easy. I was right. Her agreement was begrudging. I could work with that, though. She may say she only came for her friend, but no one forced her into those tight leather pants that hugged her subtle curves. They look like they’ll be difficult to remove, but I will happily put in the time and effort needed to peel them off tonight. I know I sound cocky. Maybe I’m too confident, but I’ll take being too optimistic over second-guessing my every move. It won’t matter that Hana was still wearing her charm bracelet. Well Thumbed’s atmosphere and activities could make even a nun second guess her vows. Hana is bound to get caught up in the sexually charged atmosphere. Then I can claim victory, and this bet will be over so we can return to normal. I’ll have fucked my infatuation with Hana out of my system, and all will be right in the world. When we reached Well Thumbed, I couldn’t help but smile at Pam’s conf
I’ve not actively avoided the stooges this week. I’m also not giving them the time of day beyond simple greetings in passing. I have classes to focus on, which will always be more important than these fools and their stupid bet. I know I told Pam I’d play them back. I’m unsure how to do that without making things worse. I’m not a player, despite what some may think due to my casual relationships with Iver, Evan, and Shamus. That was different; there weren’t any secrets, and we were all on the same page. I’m not on the same page as Isak, Aidan, and Albert. They may be on the same page, but that’s not the same. I’ve been conflicted on how to handle them all week. Even to the point, I thought about calling home for advice. I decided against it for a couple of reasons. First, I don’t want Dad or Uncle John to hear this. Otherwise, I couldn’t think of anyone who could give good advice about my circumstances. No one I know has been in this situation. I can already imagine the answers I’d
It’s been a week since the DKE party. We didn’t end the night with plans with Hana or her agreeing to stop avoiding us. I did think we’d made progress that night. She’d looked out of her window and made eye contact. And while she hasn’t outright disappeared when I’ve spotted her around campus, she’s always had a reason she couldn’t do more than say hi and bye. I need to be proactive in my pursuit. We’re already halfway into October, which may not seem like a big deal, but it does mean there are only seven weeks left of the semester. Then, it’s highly likely that Hana will return to Bloodmoon for the winter holidays. Sure, the winter holidays are only for a couple of weeks. That’s two weeks we wouldn’t have access to h. We’re already flirting with danger, so going to Portland for a chance to see her and win this bet puts us too close for comfort to Logan. What I need is an in. I need a way to see Hana or at least get her number to set up a date. Yes, I said date. Please don’t read i
I am not in Bloodmoon. I cannot just beat the CRAP out of Hailie. This is the real world. In the real world, hospitalizing this drunk bitch would be assault. Also, I’d feel bad for beating up an intoxicated person. I don’t know if she’d say that shit while sober, so it wouldn’t be right to hurt her for it. Now if she said that shit while sober, a whole different story, I’d still have to control the violence, but I wouldn’t have just taken it without making a cutting remark of my own, at the very least. It’s not like Hailie was the first to comment on my lack of assets. This is why I easily had the answer of being a card-carrying member of the itty bitty tittie committee. I learned quickly that if I had a flaw, I better own it. Sure, I’m still an A cub. Big deal. It’s not like I’m flat-chested. I learned to buy the right bras and tops to accent what I have. I don’t need big tits to get males. Dad told me I got my mother’s figure. She found love, which means I can do it too. It just wo
If a slightly intoxicated Hailie had approached me under different circumstances, I’d have been inclined to give her what she wanted. And by different circumstances, I don’t simply mean approaching me while I’m with Hana. Hana standing right there was a good enough reason to refuse Hailie and other women; that’s not the only factor. I’d not have thought twice if I hadn’t had this bet with my friends. However, I plan to win this bet, and that can’t happen if I fuck and feed as I please. However, I realized someone had already fed on the girl and did a poor job of using compulsion on her. I’ll have to learn who that was and teach them a lesson. Mess-ups like this catch the attention of human arthritis, the guild, and worse, the order. I’d rather not see some fledgling vampires turn to dust because no one taught them any better. I swear it’s like vampires are hardcoded not to give guidance to those they sire. I am, thankfully, old enough that my use of compulsion is flawless. You can’
