Do you think Tyson is doing a good job helping Rose feel protected and cared for? What do you think of Melinda? I just adore her bluntness. Updates occur daily.
ROSE I smell coffee and dark chocolate. It is all around me, swirling in the white misty fog. I don’t know where I am, but I’m enjoying the aromatics. I feel his warmth as his large muscular arms encircle me and I step back into his embrace. I love his hands, arms and chest. They are so big and strong, making me feel safe and protected. I rest my head back on his chest and I realize he is shirtless. I turn around in his arms and press my breasts into that amazing chest. I guess I’m shirtless too, but it feels totally right. The feeling of my nipples being lightly brushed by his rock-hard abs and pecs makes my head swimmy and my heart race. I reach around under his arms and let my hands explore his back. Oh… it’s just as muscle ridden as his front. Heaven!! I lean forward and kiss his chest, directly between his pec muscles in the middle of his sternum. I feel the tingles, and they feel amazing. But I want a taste of his skin. So I indulge myself and lick that same spot. Not just a l
ROSE “Rosie, where did you get those?” She asks. I sigh. “Melinda, I really don’t like talking about them. It’s not a happy memory, obviously, so can you let it go? Please?” She is staring at my backside, and I just want to cover back up. I think she feels my discomfort, so she lets it go and starts the water for me. I am thankful she doesn’t pry more. I am definitely not in the proper headspace to explain that part of my life. Oh! The water feels so good. It’s been ages since I’ve had a warm shower. The hot water heater in our apartment runs out so quickly. I make sure Maddie has her shower first and I am usually left with none. That’s okay though, I want Maddie to be as comfortable as possible. Melinda uses the new shampoo on my hair, and I can’t help it, I moan out in bliss. She chuckles at me as she runs her fingernails along my scalp, massaging me. She has some surprisingly strong hands. She goes slowly, making sure she gets all of my hair with the suds without aggravating my
TYSON I exit the room to give Rose some privacy. I don’t want to leave, but I know she’ll be more comfortable with just Melinda there. When I hear her quiet exclamation of pain, I want to rush back in, but I hold onto myself and wait. However, I can’t contain Zeus’ growl when he hears her pain. He wants to comfort our mate, just as I do, but she is human and needs to gradually get use to us and our wolf possessive intensity. When I hear them in the bathroom talking, I decide to get some things taken care of. I ask George to place another order at Giovanni’s for our lunches and he pulls out his phone to immediately comply. Then I walk up to the nurse’s station where Frank is getting some computer work done. He looks up at me and his eyes twinkle. I’m not oblivious to his attraction to me, most people are, kind of an alpha thing. People, male or female, are attracted to the strongest of the species. But I need to shut it down before he thinks there’s something there. Almost everyone r
TYSON A knock sounds on the door. It is George again. “Lunch delivery is here, Alpha. Also, Sheila and Leila are here with Luna’s flowers.” That was fast. “Perfect. Please allow them in. I’ll take the food.” I answer and George holds the door open for the flower delivery. I notice they are each pushing a cart with a few bouquets on them. Mine being the biggest and probably the heaviest. I also notice that Leila has added to her normal makeup and is swishing her hips suggestively at me. She keeps looking over her shoulder as she’s setting the flowers up and giving me a shy, but provocative smile. After they set the flowers down, I move out of the way for them to leave. Just as Leila is passing me, she reaches out to touch me. I step away, not wanting her scent on me. “Leila, I’m going to say this once. I have found my Luna. She isn’t you. She isn’t anyone in the pack. If anyone even tries to take that away from me, or replace her, or harm her, I will not hesitate to punish that pers
TYSON “Mama!” Maddie yells out when she barrels in. “Hi, my baby,” Rose says with a kiss. “How are you? It feels like I haven’t seen you in days!” Maddie lets out a giggle and it is so similar to Rose’s. “That’s because it’s been a few days, silly.” “Oh…right. So, what have you and Patty Melt been up to? Let me guess, masterminding a bank heist? Or developing the newest dark chocolate recipe? Or inventing a rocket ship that gets to Jupiter’s moons?” Maddie lets out a big laugh at her mom’s antics. “No! Just the normal stuff. School, eating, showering and bed.” “Really?!! That’s it? I expected, at the very LEAST a cancer cure in 2 days without me.” “Mama, your expectations are too high. I’m only 7, after all.” “Are you sure? You’re so smart though, I thought you were at least 15. That’s plenty old enough to discover the next element.” Rose says as she tickles Maddie and Maddie whoops with laughter. Despite how smart this child is, she is still treated and acts like an actual chi
TYSON After everyone leaves and I settle into the bed with Rose, I broach the subject of the bombing. “Rose, I am needing to ask you about the morning of the bombing. Do you remember seeing anyone in the building that didn’t belong on Tuesday morning or anything out of place?” I ask her as I rub little circles on her hand, over her unique birthmark, trying to keep her calm. She doesn’t say anything for a few minutes other than a little hum. I look at her face; her brow is scrunched, and her nose is crinkled up. I can tell she is thinking back on the day. She makes the most adorable faces! “No. Nothing really comes to mind. I came in through the front doors and waved to Lori at the reception desk on the ground floor. I went down to the basement via stairs, not elevator, and put my outerwear away in my locker. I got my mail cart from Rolando. He was on the computer in his office. We said hi but I didn’t go in and he didn’t come out. I came up to your floor in the service elevator. I
ALPHA KENT MICHAELS “What do you mean, he’s not dead? The bomb went off on time and in his office where he was. You said the package would be there on time. How did it not kill him? No one has seen him, so I assumed it worked.” I angrily ask my informant. I scowl at the weakling, shaking in fear before me. I begin pacing in my office, trying to think where we went wrong. "The bomb went off just outside of his office and he wasn’t injured at all. One of his employees was. He rushed her to the hospital where he’s stayed by her side since. From what I have been told, she is his mate, and she is human. She could be your way in, his weakness.” I turn and look at my informant dubiously. How stupid does he think I am? No Alpha in history has ever had a human for a mate. Sure, humans are sometimes fated mates to shifters, but never to the Alpha. Alphas need a strong wolf to continue their bloodline, not taint it with human weaknesses. As I begin my shift to kill my dumbass informant for his
ROSE When I wake up, the sun is fully shining into my windows, and I want to throw my pillow at the blinds so it will block that annoyingly happy light. Why should it get to be happy when I’m not? Instead, I sit here, just staring at the ceiling, frowning. “I’ve heard a rumor, that if you get hit while making a face like that, it will forever be etched as your permanent expression… but I’m pretty sure that’s not true. Wanna try it and see? I bet I can smack you pretty hard. After all, lots and lots of practice in the bedroom.” Melinda’s happy voice rings out. I don’t even look over at her. “I don’t need or want to know what all you do in the bedroom, Melinda.” “Oh, why not Rose? It could give you some ideas for you and Tyson.” She snickers teasingly at me, and I feel my cheeks turning pink, but then the situation of my current reality hits me again and I sigh. “Nothing will be happening with me and Tyson,” I say forlornly as I finally sit up and face this crazy woman that I have c
