SEND HER WORD AGAIN
SelenaDumbfounded, I watched Selena leave, lips parted to call her back, but I didn’t. I couldn’t believe the amount of resolve it took me not to chase after her.This is the best-case scenario. She goes, and she’s no longer my problem. This is good.I scoffed aloud, even before the words finished playing in my mind. The scent of her body lingered in my office, forcing my nose upward, following like a fifties cartoon character chasing after a pie on a windowsill. Yeah, I wanted her, but this was a physical pull, harder than what was in the base of my tracksuit, urging me to shift and go for her.Still, I managed to contain myself with a simple image.The mere thought of her name drew me back into the depth of my office and into my chair, forcing my restless body into a sitting position.More than two hundred years had passed since she was in my life, and the feeling still haunted me. Why would I ever endure such pain again?Mortals weren’t to be chased, shifters or not. Even if Sena

THE JOB
Maybe she’ll ignore the invite,I thought, the notion both nauseating and relieving.And that will be the end of that.Waiting for an answer was going to be excruciating.* * *There wa slittle sense in waiting around the casino at that hour of the morning, and I made my way home shortly after word was sent out to Selina.Of course, sleep was no longer an option, and I entered my open-concept kitchen to find one of my maids cleaning. Luve jumped when I stalked into the room, her eyes popping as she sized me up in the tracksuit.“Oh, Mr. Jeff,” she mumbled, dropping the sopping sponge back in her bucket. “I-I didn’t expect you to be awake. I’ll clean somewhere else.”I shook my head and sidestepped her equipment, heading toward the espresso machine.“Don’t bother, Luve. I just want a cappuccino, and I’ll head out to the pool,” I promised her. “I got woken up.”“Let me make you a cappuccino, Mr. Jeff,” she insisted, wiping her hands. “Please.”I started to protest, but she caught my hand

THE JOB II
I shuddered violently, the stench of him overwhelming me. If I’d thought the lion shifter from the casino was bad, Ernest’s smell was a thousand times worse to me, probably because I understood everything that it represented. He was the embodiment of lust and sin, the worst of everything this world had to offer. I struggled to unhinge myself from his hold, but his fingers were like wire vices, digging into the flesh of my arms.As a Bear shifter, he was built solidly, his feline structure comparable to my lupine bones in many ways. If I’d endured the same amount of physical training that Ernest had since childhood, I might have been able to take him, but our youths had been very different.“Why are you out of breath, little one?” he murmured, his breath hot on my face, making my skin crawl almost clean off my bones. “Are you as excited to have me as I am to have you and your saviour?”“What? No!” I squealed, finally managing to squirm out of his hold.I stared at him dubiously. Did he

HEAT BURST
“Where are we going?” I demanded, holding my ground.Too many years of being on guard stopped me from following her, even though I sensed I didn’t have anything to fear from matt, it’s not in the same way I did from Jesse.“You won’t be working from the casino,” she explained. “I’ll take you to your workspace.”“Where is it?”“In Jeff’s house.”Heat burst through me.“His house?” I echoed, dumbfounded.That was an unexpected twist. Matt’s eyes flashed reprovingly, and my blush deepened.“His home office,” he corrected himself, narrowing hir eyes. “You will be properly outfitted there, and your duties explained. You won’t have free roam of the building. Please be mindful of your position.”A million new questions entered my mind, but Matt’s sour expression forced them all back into my throat, and I begrudgingly followed after him.“Is he going to be there?” I asked hopefully.He was the one that had offered me a position, and I wasn’t fond of the idea of having to explain why I was ar

ERNEST HEALER
She was gone again, and I eyed the delicious hunk of bread and meat, unwilling to leave the rest of it uneaten. Who knew when I’d get a chance to savor a meal like this again? Gods knew Ernest wasn’t feeding us like that.I stifled the urge to consume the rest of the sandwich, despite wanting to eat more. Agnes needed some just as much as I did more. She needed to keep her strength up so we could get moving, and I resolved to tuck some away for her. I bolted toward the door, stifling a moan of pleasure as I licked the crumbs from my lips. I hadn’t been paid, but even if I never saw a cent for that night’s work, the food would have made it all totally worth it.SELINAI didn’t recognize the driver waiting in the car behind the house. He didn’t introduce himself or even utter a word as he opened the back door to the town car and secured me inside. I found myself wondering if this was less to do with making me comfortable in my working environment and more to do with ensuring I was escor

UPCOMING MARRIAGE
Virgil was gone again, and I eyed the delicious hunk of bread and meat, unwilling to leave the rest of it uneaten. Who knew when I’d get a chance to savor a meal like this again? Gods knew Ernest wasn’t feeding us like that. I stifled the urge to consume the rest of the sandwich, despite wanting to eat more. My son and Anna needed some just as much as I did—more. She needed to keep her strength up so we could get moving, and I resolved to tuck some away for her. I bolted toward the door, stifling a moan of pleasure as I licked the crumbs from my lips. I hadn’t been paid, but even if I never saw a cent for that night’s work, the food would have made it all totally worth it. Emily I didn’t recognize the driver waiting in the car behind the house.

WEDDING IN TEN DAYS
“What do you mean, no?” he asked, clearly unfamiliar with the term. “I mean…” I inhaled, carefully choosing my words. I didn’t need to antagonize him. I had no illusions about how he treated his wives, much as he wanted his virgins. “my son is not strong enough, he still needs my attention, Ernest “ I have tried ro be nice” he says. “ I beg of you,he needs my attention” I said as I weep. “Take me but let them go” Agnes says. I quickly stood up and rush to Anna. “ No,you can’t do that?All of this was for my sake , we will face it all together” I said. “Enough! We both almost jumped out of the window at the sound of his thunderous voice. “ Enough of the drama,You heard what he said,” he insisted, turning his attention back to the head fae healer. “Ten days, right?” The fae nodded, oblivious to my scathing glare. He wasn’t afraid of me. He wanted to tell Ernest exactly what his boss wanted to hear. “Good.” Ernest stepped back and beamed at us. “Then we’ll arrange for the wedding i

STRUCK
Last night.She would be back again that night.And I would need to see her. She needed to get paid, didn’t she?“Virgil?”I listened, but the fae didn’t return. I had scared her off with my glowering, but she couldn’t have gotten far.I finished up, patting down my face with aftershave, relishing in the sting as the fresh scent of pine filled my nostrils. Steam from the shower had cleared away to show my eyes clearly, and I was ready to seize the day ahead.I found Virgil in the kitchen with Luve, speaking in low voices. My brow furrowed as they straightened in my presence.“I hope you weren’t talking about me,” I purred, moving toward the island to slide onto a stool.“Not everything is about you,” Virgi muttered without meeting my eyes.They were talking about me.“Did you pay the girl before she left?”Virgil scoffed. “Me?”“I’ll take that as she didn’t get paid?”She sputtered slightly before offering me an answer. “You never discussed a wage with her!”I nodded, shifting my eyes

KISSED
“No,” I heard myself say as I stood. “It’s going to be okay.”Elena tipped her head back as I drew closer, shaking her head. “It’s not going to be okay!” she fired out, throwing her hands up. “You don’t understand at all!”“I do,” I murmured, crouching down beside her.My hand fell on her filthy, faded jeans, the feel of her slender thigh beneath my fingers sending shivers through me.Easy, Jeff. Down, boy…My own internal warning was useless. I made no move to adjust my fingers.“I get it,” I insisted. “Ernest is a pig. His collection of virgins is disgusting, I am not even one but he still have his interest in me and my friend.”“All my friend wanted was to heal me and not marry us,there was no wedding deal, he just use it against us.”I recoiled, my hands falling back at the revelation. My mind’s eye saw Selina pinned and unclothed beneath Ernest’s body, unable to escape. Again, my reaction was visceral.“What?!”Selina shook her head, the golden strands falling over her face.No m

NOT VIRGIN
SelinaI had told Ernest so many times that I am no virgin, but he was too enamored with the idea of just having us as his wife or at least, he was choosing to ignore me. I didn’t push the issue, anymore, the insult to his ego might have catastrophic consequences for Agnes, me and my son.He might kill us, if only to save face.But for what I am sure about, I had never been in the presence of a man before even though I can’t remember how it happened back then.I couldn’t even remember them not when his mouth consumed me, stealing not only my breath but what felt like my entire life force.I had been on top of him, but somehow, in the passion of the moment, I found myself pinned beneath him on the cold, thin carpet of the office floor, my hands splayed above my head. His kiss grew harder, more determined, his eyes half-closed as his breaths became heavier on my face. My heart pounded so furiously, I could feel it in my throat.What had changed? He had been so determined not to touch me,
