LOGINThe door of my penthouse clicked shut behind us. Before I could turn, his strong hands gripped my waist, spinning me gently but firmly against the cool wood.
His body pressed into mine warm and alive in a way that made my undead veins ache with envy. Then his lips found mine again in a soft kiss.
This one was deceptively tender, but there was no mistaking the dominance in how he held me there.
I melted into it, letting my fingers thread through his thick hair, and pulled him deeper.
His tongue traced the seam of my lips until I parted for him, tasting the wild hint of him.
That was enough to make my body respond instantly, heat pooling low in my belly, my nipples hardening against the lace of my bra.
I liked this, being led to surrender to his command.
But only in explicit situations like this.
We stumbled forward, lips still locked on each other, with me guiding us toward the bedroom.
His chuckle vibrated against my mouth.
By the time we crossed the threshold into my dimly lit bedroom with dark sheets on the king bed, floor-to-ceiling windows overlooking the glittering skyline, he took over seamlessly.
Tossing me onto the mattress. I landed on my back, breathless, propping myself on my elbows to meet his gaze.
William stood at the foot of the bed, those piercing blue eyes fixed on me with a strange intensity, hungry, yet restrained.
It wasn't lust alone; I could tell. There was something else about the way he was looking at me.
Without a word, he reached for the buttons on his shirt, opening them up slowly, to reveal his chiseled chest.
My eyes drank him in, falling from his broad shoulders to the V of his hips, the flex in his muscles as he moved. His shirt dropped to the floor, and he moved to his belt, unbuckling it. His pants fell down his thighs and he kicked them aside until he stood naked, his cock thick and hard, jutting toward me.
I admired every line, every curve, my fangs aching to graze his skin, but I stayed still, entranced by his performance.
He watched me watch him, that strange look deepening, as if he could see the fire building inside me. Heat flushed my cheeks, my thighs pressing together instinctively.
Then, before I could fully process it, his hands wrapped around my ankles, yanking me toward him across the sheets. The sudden pull made me gasp, my dress riding up my legs. He positioned me at the edge, my face inches from his erection, the musky scent of his arousal filling my senses. Then he tilted his head slightly, a boyish quirk that I almost found cute.
It was the only cue he gave, but it was clear. He wanted my mouth on him.
So, I leaned in, keeping my eyes to his as my lips brushed the head of his cock, feeling it twitch against me. For the first time that evening, his calm facade cracked; his eyes darkened, and I saw his jaw tightening with raw need.
It made me want to smile.
As I parted my lips and took him in, sliding down his length until he filled my mouth, nearly gagging on his girth, he released a deep, shuddering breath. His hand came to rest lightly on my head, guiding me in the way he wanted it.
I bobbed my head, taking him deeper with each pass. The salty tang of his pre-cum coated my tongue, and I hummed around his shaft, feeling it pulse against my throat. William's breath hitched, that deep exhale turning into a low growl that vibrated through his body.
He was still so controlled, his hips rocking forward just enough to meet my rhythm, letting me set the pace while his grip reminded me that he was in control.
I hate it, but my pussy throbbed with need, wetness soaking through my panties as I sucked him harder, hollowing my cheeks, wanting to draw out more of those rare cracks in his composure.
After what felt like an eternity, he pulled back gently, his cock slipping from my lips with a wet pop. I looked up, lips swollen and glistening, and saw a new fire in his eyes.
Without a word, he knelt on the bed, his hands sliding up my legs to hook under my knees. He lifted me effortlessly, positioning me higher on the mattress before his fingers found the zipper of my dress and tugged it down slowly, exposing my skin inch by inch, his gaze never leaving mine.
The fabric pooled at my waist, and he unclasped my bra, freeing my breasts. His thumbs brushed my nipples, with light circles that made me arch into him. Biting my lips to stop the whimper from escaping them.
"Beautiful," he murmured, the first word he'd spoken since we arrived. He leaned down, capturing one nipple in his mouth, and sucking gently while his hand kneaded the other. The sensation shot straight to my core, my clit aching for some attention.
I tangled my fingers in his hair again, urging him on, but he moved at his own pace, switching sides whenever it pleased him and nipping just hard enough to sting without pain.
Then his mouth trailed lower, kissing across my stomach as he peeled my dress and panties off completely, leaving me bare and exposed under his scrutiny.
He settled between my thighs, spreading them wide with firm hands. His breath ghosted over my slick folds before his tongue delved in, lapping at my pussy with slow strokes.
I moaned. I couldn't help it this time, hips bucking at the contact, but he pinned me down softly, his weight a welcomed restraint I didn't know I needed.
William’s tongue circled my clit, sucking it between his lips, then plunged his tongue inside me, tasting my arousal. The build was maddening, waves of pleasure crashing into me.
Finally, he pulled back, and guided me to straddle him as he lay back, pulling me down until the head of his dick nudged my entrance. I sank onto him slowly, inch by inch, my walls stretching around his thickness. A gasp tore from me as he filled me completely, bottoming out with a shared groan.
His hands gripped my hips, directing me as to how I should ride him.
And in no time I had matched his rhythm that had us both panting. We moved together, his thrusts upward meeting my descent, his cock hitting deep inside me with
force that made my head spin.
Heat coiling tighter in my belly. My fang ached, begging to be buried in his skin. And he knew this, because his hand cupped the back of my neck, and drew me down until my lips pressed against his throat. "Drink from me, Astrid," he whispered, voice husky with the command and offer.
And who was I to say no.
My fangs extended instinctively, and I sank them into his neck, the hot rush of his blood flooding my mouth,was rich and intoxicating.
I couldn't get enough.
Gulp and gulp, I swallowed greedily, his thrusts grew more insistent, pounding into my pussy from below. The metallic tang of his blood mixed with the ecstasy of his cock driving deeper into me.
He held me close, one arm around my waist, the other stroking my back in soothing circles, even as he fucked me harder.
My orgasm crashed over me like a tidal wave, my pussy clenching around him as I cried out my voice silent against his skin.
Blood trickled down my chin as waves of pleasure ripped through me, leaving me shuddering and spent. William's breath was heavy, but he didn't stop, drawing out every aftershock until I collapsed onto his chest, his cock still buried deep, pulsing with his own restrained release.
After what felt like forever, I was finally back in the office. Refusing to think of what happened between William and I.I was horny, I thought to myself. It was the only reasonable explanation to why I did that and besides It had been a while, but now with my head clear, it wasn't going to happen again.I was just about to focus on work when my office door slammed against the wall, jarring the frames on the partition.And Julien walked into my office like he owned the place, he adjusted his cuffs, smirking down at me before sliding into the leather chair opposite me without an invitation, leaving me wondering what I even paid Sarah for.If she was going to allow just anyone to walk in here, she might as well not be there.The wide smile on his face told me something was terribly wrong. “What are you doing here?”“It's been a lo
The afternoon sun beat down on the gravel driveway, the heat baking against my cold skin. I walked out the front entrance of the main pack house, the doors closing behind me.Unlike last night, the entire grounds were filled with activity and it looked like they were making preparations for an event.I walked down the stone steps, my boots crunching on the gravel as I passed various shirtless men. As I neared them, a few stopped what they were doing and bowed their heads toward me. A few others simply stared with hard, tight expressions, refusing to acknowledge my presence entirely.I ignored all of them, kept my eyes fixed ahead, my face a mask of complete indifference. None was worth a second of my time. I didn't care about their submission, and I cared even less about their hostility.I needed to get away from William and his sudden attentiveness towards me. I veered off the ma
The next time my eyelids forced themselves open, the heavy thumping of a heartbeat vibrated against my cheek. I blinked several times, clearing the thick blur from my vision until it came into focus.I was in William’s arms.My body rested on his broad chest, my face pressed into the crook of his neck. The last memory buried in my brain was that of Allaston. I think I passed out long before William even got to me. I tried to twist my neck to look around, when suddenly, the ground vanished beneath us. William launched off the dirt, his powerful legs propelling us straight into the air. He hit the branch of a massive tree, stabilized his weight for a second, and leaped again. He began to hop from tree to tree, clearing the distances with every bound while holding me so tightly against his chest.My throat felt dry, but I forced my mouth open, drawing in a deep breath of cold air. After a few failed, silent attempts, I finally managed to whisper his name. "William."He stopped abruptly
I woke up with a heavy, dragging sensation throughout my limbs, realizing immediately that my wrists and ankles had been chained to the floor.A dull ache throbbed behind my eyes, and when I tried to push my senses outward, I hit a wall; the room was specifically equipped with technology designed to completely dampen my abilities. My eyes locked onto Allaston, who was standing directly on the opposite side of a thick glass wall that separated my cell from the rest of the room. A wide, permanent smile was plastered across his face. His unmoving expression thoroughly unsettled me. Does he ever stop smiling? I thought to myself, keeping my face blank to hide my growing unease.Allaston stepped closer to the transparent barrier, and spoke through an intercom system, his voice clear and smug. "My noble prize," he also purred."The perfect weapon for me to use against William."I frowned deeply at him, did he really think William would give up his position for me? Thqis man couldn't be as d
I forced myself to hold William's stare. Tilting my chin upward, and directing my full focus into our shared link. I thought of all the ways I could have killed him. I visualized every single detailed step, running through the thought of tearing through his arteries and draining him.William’s small smile vanished instantly. His fingers shot out, wrapping tightly around my neck as he yanked my body upward until my toes barely brushed the floor, pulling my face inches from his.His dark green irises flared into a bright gold, still I held my ground, keeping my eyes locked on him as I replayed one particular scene over and over in my mind: a clear, vivid fantasy of decapitating him in the most shameful, public manner possible.The grip around my throat grew tighter, threatening to cut off my breathing entirely. But just before either of us could say a word or push each other further, a loud, piercing alarm shattered the quiet night air.Both our heads snapped in the direction of the s
I woke with a gasp, my chest heaving and cold sweat running down my back. I blinked a few times as my vision slowly came into focus, revealing the high ceilings and familiar layout of William’s master bedroom at his pack house. I was back in his bed.Instinctively, I lifted my right hand to my mouth, running the pads of my fingers over the sharp points of my fangs. A long, shaky breath escaped my lips when I found them still fully intact.Unlike the final moments I remembered of Rowena’s cabin, the agonizing, starvation pain no longer consumed my body. I was still hungry, but the intense burning in my stomach had diminished into a dull, manageable ache deep within my bones.The alarm clock on the nightstand read 3:40 AM, and William was sleeping shirtless beside me.My eyebrows drew together in a frown as I stared at his relaxed features. "What the fuck did you do?" I whispered to m
My eyes ran down the hard lines of William's body, watching the steady rising and falling of his bare chest. The thought of how hard and warm his skin would feel against my hands, crossed my mind and my fingers twitched at my sides with the urge to reach out. Then my gaze settled on his neck, at t
I continue to swallow large gulps, filling my mouth with his blood. The blinding headache behind my temples vanished instantly, and a sudden wave of strength rushed through my limbs. The starvation that had paralyzed my thoughts for the past twenty-four hours receded. My fingers automatically leng
"What was that about?" Yui asked, her eyes moving from the closed door back to me.I shook my head, my gaze remaining fixed on the exact spot where Dario had just walked out. I let out a heavy sigh and rubbed my hand over my face. "It's nothing important," I said, my voice sounding flat even to my
"I didn't know you knew my son," Dario said, breaking the silence as his eyes shifted from Julian back to me."I don't," I replied, keeping my voice even despite the pounding in my head. "We just got acquainted."He didn't believe it, I could tell by the look in his eyes.But before Dario could say
