Adam's lips crashed against hers, devouring her hungrily as his hands found their way under her shirt, eagerly grasping at the places on her body that made her moan with delight.　　The sensations threatened to overwhelm her as she fumbled with the zip on his trousers, desperately seeking the bulge that was growing within as the seconds ticked by.　　"Ann, we should lock the door." He murmured between kisses.　　"I don't give a fuck if we're caught, Adam… I need this… I need you in me." She murmured as she finally freed the monster in his pants and wrapped her fingers around it.　　Adam hissed lightly in appreciation and his head tilted back reflexively as she began to work her fingers up and down the shaft of his penis, drinking in the sight of his muscular neck bared so elegantly before her.　　She bent over and placed her lips along the beautiful lines of his neck and jaw, peppering kisses, biting, licking, and sucking as she went, all the while working her hand firmly and gently along

　　Allen had spent the morning fielding phone calls with Adam and ensuring that the omegas had everything ready for when Lexi and her father arrived.　　The conversation with Adam had been a difficult one to say the least. Having to admit that he had indeed been acting like a righteous prick instead of claiming his mate as he should have, was one of the hardest things that he had ever had to do.  　　The constant arguing with his wolf on a daily basis had been more than draining. But Allen knew, as soon as he saw Lexi engrossed in conversation with another man, and loving every second of it, he had to claim her as his.　　Admittedly, he had lost his cool with that cocky little twat Greyson, but he deserved that… and it felt damn good landing that punch on his arrogant little face.　　Allen snorted to himself at the memory and the corners of his lips curved upward into a  smirk, but it faded just as quickly when he remembered the way that Lexi had pushed away from him, and ran straight to hi

　　Lexi didn't even know why she was crying or how long she had been crying for. All she did know was that she was furious with herself for letting a prick like Allen get under her skin so easily.　　There was no way that he was her mate, was there? Her father had said that the bonding between daemons and their mates was eternal. You only got one in your lifetime and quite honestly, the thought of being bonded to Allen for the rest of her life… the mere thought of it was driving her slowly insane.　　She was so confused about her feelings for him. How was it possible to want to fuck someone to an inch of their life…but also want to murder them with everything you had in you? Wasn't that the sort of toxic relationship that she had spent her life trying to avoid?　　Then why did she feel so empty without him near? 　　She groaned loudly and turned onto her back on the luxurious bed, casting her eyes around the room for the first time she had arrived there. 　　It wasn't bad at all. The furnish

　　Allen escorted Lexi and her father to the patio area just at the back of the dining room after dinner was finished so that they could relax a little. He apologized profusely as he excused himself, explaining that he had to make a few phone calls but would be back soon.　　"He rarely seems to have any time for himself." Lord Brarthroroz observed dryly, as Lexi snorted in response.　　"Duty first, always..." she said bitterly as she glanced around the area.　　It hadn't changed much since she was here only a few weeks ago. The Omega's had set up the area nicely with fairy lights intertwined with the honeysuckle that spiraled up the posts of the wood pergola, and across the latticed roof. The lanterns that hung from the ceiling would definitely provide a nice ambiance after sunset, but that was still hours away.　　An Omega hurried out from the hall and placed a tray holding a colossal jug of fresh sangria and three glassed on the table in front of them and grinned broadly at them.　　"If yo

　　As soon as Allen felt Lexi's resistance disappear he felt a peace that he hadn't felt in a long time.　　He wanted her as close to him as possible, his skin against hers. He wanted to trace every curve of her body with his lips and hear her moan in pleasure, no, scream his name in ecstasy.　　The mere thought of her underneath him was driving him crazy and his erection was pressing uncomfortably against his zipper. He needed to readjust, but he didn't want to let her go. He couldn't bear the thought of her leaving him alone again.　　Without thinking twice he moved quickly, gathering her in his arms and holding her tightly to his chest as she flung her arms around his neck, pulling him closer to her as if her very life depended on it.　　It was difficult to make his way through the dining room and up the stairs with Lexi's exuberant actions in his arms, but after a few close calls and a stumble over the top step, he finally made it to his room.　　He had heard the whispers and giggles as
