Still Secretary Eric's POVI listen to the chit-chat of the women sitting across from me in the Limousine. King-Mother Alidya points out to Saray the long list of necessities they need to buy in Human Town. I already warned Ralph in the mind link that he should send a cargo plane to pick up all the items these women plan to buy. If King-Mother Alidya is on a roll, no one will be able to stop her. And Saray is already letting the older woman overwhelm her, nodding at every suggestion her mother-in-law makes. I smile as I look at the pregnant woman.Her belly is growing by the day. It seems as if the twins want to make their presence emphatically known now that they have been discovered. Actually, I also look forward to their arrival; the palace will finally be vibrant. The hallways are quiet now, and the dining room seems like a daily church service. Now we will have two rascals who will turn our lives upside down. And if that cousin of mine does get by n
The women completely ignore us when we arrive at the fabulous villa.Magda briefly detaches herself from the company to show Ivor and me each our rooms. Fortunately, we sleep next door, so I can look pretty close for the man in case I need him for business. Again I notice how the little girl's eyes follow Ivor; she clearly has a young crush on the Chief Warrior. But he doesn't look back at her, walks straight to his room while the drivers take our bags. Once in my room, I take a hot bath and dress in formal pants and a shirt.A hand through my blond hair and I'm ready. Frankly saying, I'm starving. As a werewolf, I have a hearty appetite and this morning I missed breakfast. Ivor too actually, since we were rechecking the Queen's security. Ralph was uncompromising when he talked about Saray's protection, I could see in his demeanor toward this matter that he won't tolerate mistakes. And when Randall too came to interfere, I chose to be better safe than sor
Rivalry Magda's mouth falls open."What's her crime? Isn't it normal when a woman is attracted to a man?" she asks in amazement. "We live in the 21st century, Eric. Women nowadays show when they like a man. If Ivor doesn't feel the same way about her, he can, like a gentleman, let her know. She doesn't have to lose her job for that? Really?." The Luna turns to Saray for support. Good for me because as the King's Secretary, I am not in a position to serve the Luna of lies. One day she might confront me with those again and I don't want to damage my reputation because of an Alpha who lacks the balls to inform his mate adequately. "Listen, let's compromise on this. Magda, Ivor is a security agent and the woman's attempt might well be deemed as if she wanted to distract Ivor for some reason. She should have played her game with more tact, not in front of everyone at the table. That's truly disrespectful," Saray enters. "Are you willing to ask her not to be ar
After all the drama, it's time for business.I need to remind Ivor what our mission here actually is. Being angry about his unhappy mating is his personal business; work should not suffer because of that. And now, with the King-Mother's breath on my neck, I have no desire to hang around the women. The rest of the meal proceeds in silence, everyone processing the events of the last hour in private.I sigh deeply; Ralph will not take this well. He urged me to keep the atmosphere stress-free, to protect his pregnant mate from all things upsetting her. I have to do everything I can to correct the conditions here. Maybe when the women return from their shopping spree, they will be back in the good mood that prevailed before. When I finish eating, I apologize for having to get to work. I walk to Ivor's bedroom to get the man so we can leave for Conselho Construction to take care of business. When I try to knock on his bedroom door, my hand halts halfway up in t
She is like the perfect fit in my arms, her scent intoxicating me.All I want is to take her, and quickly too. She shudders in my arms, I'm sure she feels the mate bond also. But then I notice her wolf scent is missing. Ooohh goodness, another human mate. I don't feel like that lengthy procedure of courting and then gently introducing her to my werewolf origin. I want to go straight to business, there is too much going on in the palace to spend much time lecturing my mate. I hold her away and look at her closely.Her eyes stare at me wistfully. With her, I am going to use my Lycan tricks to bring her to her knees within a short period of time. "Natalie," she whispers in response to my question. I smile at her. "Do you want to come with me, Natalie? I'm going to solve a case with my friend here and then we can have a drink somewhere and catch up. Okay?". She quickly looks behind her as if afraid someone might hear our conversation. "I'm at work now. Until
This mating thing feels right.Now I understand Ivor and Ralph's urgent affection for their fated mate. Once you have her in your arms, you don't want to let her go. All those uncontrolled feelings running through you; adoration, lust and the desire to protect her from all the evil in the world. But then it struck me how remarkable it is that Ivor and I both found our mate within a day. For decades we talked about this, like Ralph we had a series of one-night stands. Not that we were really looking forward to their arrival, but we knew the day would come. I had promised to be open and honest with my fated. I would allow her to choose whether to stay with me of her own will. But I hadn't counted on a human mate. That brings up other issues I have to consider. I'll have to take it slow, there are a few issues I noticed with her that need to be straightened out before I introduce her into my world. For this moment, I am going to enjoy this wonderful feeling
Actually, I am shocked by my mate's willingness to cooperate with what I clearly intend to do with her. Having sex, a lot of it. This is not really what a virgin would do; I expected her to balk a bit and for me to have to use all my charms to win her over.But she doesn't resist for a moment, which makes me wonder if she does this more often, inviting men into her home for a solid night of sex. Or is there something else going on?! Well, I guess I'll never know. At her direction, I park in the spot assigned to her apartment. I open the door for her and jump out of the car myself. We rush toward the elevator and when the doors close, I take her in my arms. Eagerly she raises her head to me and offers me her lips. Before I accept her offer, I bury my face in the crook of her neck and take several deep breaths. Nope, no scent of even a single man. I even believe she's still a virgin. But her actions prove otherwise. What is going on here? Is she sacrificing
I hold still, stroking her back and whispering reassuringly nothings in her ear.When I claim her lips again, I feel her slowly relax. "Go when you are ready, my love. I will wait for you," I encourage her softly. With her face still in a pained grimace, she nods. Quietly I wait for her to get used to the feeling of me inside her, nibbling her earlobe, sipping at the skin of her neck. One hand moves to her breast again and I tease her until she goes crazy with lust.Her walls start milking my cock and I barely hold on. Then she begins moving slowly and soon has built up a reasonable pace. Sweat beads on my forehead from my willpower to hold back. But that is short-lived. When I notice her movements becoming urgent, I pick it up from there and drive us on. Each time I feel my orgasm approaching, I pause and kiss her deeply until my urge subsides a bit and I'm able to move inside her again, deep and confident. But when she gasps in my ear as she clings to me, I can't continue this act.
