RomanMy alarm blasted an annoying tune before I smashed it against the wall on the opposite side of the room. I groaned and rolled over, throwing my head under my comforter. Rue smiled sedately at me and gently nudged me awake again. This was the one day a month she was gentle and kind, any other day I would have been met with insults and aggression. I sighed and gave in, trudging my way to the bathroom to start my day.After I showered, I stumbled into the kitchen and switched on the kettle before succumbing to the benchtop of the breakfast bar. My face was in resting in nook of my arm as I replayed the events of the pack run in my head. Every excruciating minute of the kissing incident, inch by inch, frame by frame. Rue was offering no help, and for once it was not her obsessing over the incident. I was. I had kissed him. I hated him, yet that didn’t stop my tongue exploring his. The most confusing part of it all, was that even though I still hated him, I think I wanted to kiss hi
VinnyFive broken ribs, a cracked skull, severe muscle and tendon damage and a deep laceration to my abdomen (it thankfully missed any major organs) warranted a trip from the pack-doctor and my would-be-doctor sister fussing over me. I had been bed bound for a few hours and I was growing bored of the mothering.“You remember I am a werewolf, right? I have enhanced healing abilities. You don’t need to hover.”“I am not hovering.”“No? This must be a new form of torture then,” I grunted as she pressed buttons on the machine and fussed with the plastic tubing adhered to my hand. “Have you finished administering the truth serum? Am I going to tell you my dirty secrets now?” “It’s saline you moron. And I don’t think I ever want to know your dirty secrets.” She rolled her eyes. “You were unconscious and dehydrated and your injuries were bad enough for Doctor Todd to give you a very strong anesthetic.” She gave me a sardonic smile. “Even with your enhanced healing abilities.”“Maybe he just
Roman I felt like a bit of a creep watching Vinny from across the street. I had just popped into the city centre to run some errands before my shift at work, when I looked up and found myself staring at the bistro across the street. My feet were cemented down. At any moment he was going to look up and catch me staring. Even though it would’ve been embarrassing if he caught me, I still couldn’t move. Minutes ticked by, but he still hadn’t looked up. I couldn’t even pay attention to Sean or the cute as a button waitress who was batting her long eyelashes at the both of them. I told myself that I was just being a nurse and assessing the damage the rogue caused. His scarring across his temple was dark red, where it should have been baby pink, his bruises were green-blue where they should have been non-existent. There was deep cut in his lip, lips that had kissed mine before I had fled— moments before he had been used as bait. Anger fizzled as questions swarmed my mind like angry bees. W
Vinny“My brother is naturally fuming. Your rogue was a decoy. We were concentrated on one coming in, and it conveniently was the one scent that had come in before. So, most of the Warriors on duty tracked it. We chased it and fell right into the rogue’s trap. It’s so fucking bizarre man. Rogues don’t act like this. They don’t conduct military strategy. There is no structure, no order. They can’t agree on anything, and usually just fight amongst themselves— it’s chaos. But that rogue was fucking with us since the beginning. Look at the left hand while the right hand is doing something else. Four fucking rogues were infiltrating the land in a different location, spreading us thin—” Sean ranted. “But they didn’t get close to Lacey,” I reminded him. I had successfully distracted him from his woes when I asked him to tell me what had happened while I was taking on the rogue. I already knew, as my sister had given me the rundown, but Sean didn’t know that. Sean was extremely protective ov
RomanThis was madness. I should tell him to stop. I didn’t want him to touch me. Oh, but it felt so good. His hand was tugging my hair, on the cusp of being painful. If I moved, it would hurt and the thought of that made this hotter somehow. My core started to tingle and heat, and I could scent my body betraying me. Mixed messages were zinging around my body. This was the man I hated. The man who I rejected. It shouldn’t matter that he was a remarkable kisser, that I had been obsessing over our last kiss. It shouldn’t matter that he was pure walking-sex. What should matter was my ability to be in control here, what should matter was my ability to say no. But my body didn’t want to say no.His teeth gently scraping my jaw sent my entire body into a furnace. How was something so simple, so erotic? I squirmed slightly, feeling the painful tug in my hair, testing me. I stopped squirming and looked at him. His eyes were cloudy with alcohol. There was no way he would remember this. I coul
Vinny I was feasting on the most glorious pussy I had ever tasted, against a toilet stall in a nightclub. Anger riveted me as she had asked me to leave seconds after she had orgasmed her juices right onto my tongue, mouth, and chin. It was literally one fucking kiss! I was so sure once she experienced my sexpertise that she was going to cave and allow me more than one fucking kiss. I wanted more than one kiss the second her mouth grazed my finger. Her tongue sent zings throughout my body, straight down into my cock. And when she gently encased my finger within her mouth, Vali’s eyes snapped open, but I couldn’t focus on that, all I could focus on was the electricity humming around my body, her red puckered lips, her glorious round tits beneath her tight t-shirt and that intoxicating scent that was emitting from between her legs. Her scent broke through my weakened nostrils, as though it was for my nose only. No there was no way I was going to settle for one kiss. There was no way th
Vinny I woke up on a couch and instantly scanned my surroundings. The open planned living area was minimalistic in décor with a few pieces of white Ikea furniture and a floor rug. There was a large pot plant by the front door which looked as though it was on its last legs. There was no TV. In the space where a TV should go there was a large bookshelf. The bookshelf was jammed packed with pristine novels, mostly thriller and fantasy but that wasn’t what had caught my attention. There were nursing textbooks shoved in among the fiction. Nursing books, and the place reeked of jasmine. Fuck. Somehow, I had managed to find my way to Roman’s house. I groaned softly then looked around the room again, curiosity getting the better of me. I was behind enemy lines. I got a glass from the kitchen cupboard and downed a glass of water before filling it and watering her sorry excuse for a houseplant. The irony that this she-wolf’s career was based on keeping people alive and healthy, yet she was ki
RomanI padded to the kitchen and poured myself a glass of ice-cold milk from the milk bag in the fridge. I had been home for hours, leaving shortly after Vinny did, dropping Sean back at his house in Blackfern Valley before driving myself back home. Nothing was out of the ordinary, but I was agitated and couldn’t sleep I had spent the last hour tossing and turning and anytime my body would relax into slumber I jolted myself awake. I blamed Rue the first half-dozen times, but she was happily snoring away without a care in the world.I went to turn off the kitchen light and make my way back to bed for another attempt to get some sleep when an icy peppermint wafted up my nose. What the?I followed the scent to find a man sleeping on my porch. A gorgeous blond man. Vinny. How the hell did he get here? Rue grumbled herself awake as I opened the door and made my way towards him. He was out cold. I checked his pulse and gave him a gentle shake.“Vinny.” There was no response.“Stupid fucker
