Chapter 76
Thorne’s POV
“I’m ready,” Aurora’s soft voice calls, pulling my eyes off the movie selections.
Fuck.
She just had to put the on the sexiest, most alluring nightgown known to man. Is she trying to kill me?
The black silk hugs her form perfectly, highlighting her fair skin and silver hair. She practically glides down the stairs, her eyes catching mine. They’re soft and bright, and full of affection.
“Should we skip the movie tonight?” She asks, stopping in front of me and climbing onto my lap.
The air catches in my chest, and my wolf pushes forward. My hands move on their own, sliding up her legs and settling on her thighs. I squeeze gently, brushing my thumb across the sensitive skin of her inner thigh just the way I know she likes.
Aurora gasps, and I feel the shiver that goes through her body.
Again, I slowly, softly move my thumb up and down, bringing it closer to her center before pulling back. I do it again and again, teasing, stroking, and listening to the hitch in her breath and the soft little moans that she tries to hold in.
Her hips roll, trying to move my fingers where she wants them, but I grip her thigh with one hand and slide the other around her waist. I’m so fucking hard just from the little sounds she makes and the anticipation of what’s to come, and when I drag her closer, she gasps.
Aurora lets out the softest, keening cry as I lift my own hips, pressing my hard cock against her. I let my hand slide a little further up, my fingers barely brushing her soaked panties.
Fuck.
“What should we do instead, love? Should I hold you to your end of our bargain?” I ask, my voice raspy even to my own ears.
“I-It would on-only be fair,” she pants, bucking her hips and humping against me as her hands grip my shoulders.
I chuckle and stand, lifting my woman with me. Her grip on me tightens, and I can’t help but slide my hands down to her ass.
“It would only be fair,” I say, carrying her up the stairs and then dropping her on the bed.
Before she can blink, I’m on her, nudging her legs apart with my shoulders and sliding her panties down her legs.
“You knew what this dress would fucking do to me,” I growl.
“I was just—Oh!” Aurora cries out as I begin to feast on her pussy. Her hips roll and buck so hard that I clamp an arm over her stomach to hold her down. Her moans fill the air, as I slowly insert two fingers, pumping and curling my fingers to hit just the right spot.
“Th-Thorne!” She cries as she falls over the edge and floods my mouth with her juices.
When I finally lift my head, Aurora is panting. Her eyes are dazed and pupils blown wide with pleasure as I crawl over her, cupping her cheek with my clean hand and leaning in.
“Thorne,” she moans softly, her eyes finding mine.
“Don’t worry, love. I’ll give you what you need.”
Another soft, needy sound falls from Aurora’s lips as I lean in and kiss her, swallowing every sound she gives me as I circle a thumb around her clit and bury myself inside her.
Aurora’s POV
I sigh and rest my chin in my hand as memories of last night flicker through my mind. How am I supposed to work while all I can think about is Thorne’s profession of love and the many, many orgasms he gave me last night?
The answer: it’s impossible.
All I want to do is sneak into his office and let him have his way with me again.
Soon, the clock turns to five, and I jump out of my chair. I make my way downstairs, and as I step out of the building, my phone rings.
“Hello,” I sigh.
“Aurora, I think your mother is working late today, and I need help getting something out of the storage. I’m going to sell a few things of my old things to help pay my debts. Could you run by and help me?” My stepfather asks. I promised Thorne I would wait until he got home from his meeting to eat dinner, so I have some time.
“Sure. I’ll be there soon.”
I don’t really want to go, but he seems to be trying to make up for what he’s done, so I hop in the car Thorne let me borrow and head to my mom’s house.
When I reach the house, my mom’s car isn’t in the driveway, meaning he was right bout her working late. I lock the car and make my way to the door, knocking.
“Come on in! It’s unlocked!”
I push through the door and make my way to the living room, where my stepfather always hangs out during the day, only to be greeted by two unfamiliar men. They’re large and menacing with aura’s that scream danger.
Instantly, my stomach drops and dread fills me.
“I’m so sorry, Aurora.”
I glance at my stepfather where he’s sprawled on the floor, asking, “For what?” I hide my purse behind me and slip my hand inside, trying to grab my phone without anyone else noticing. The two unknown men never take their eyes off of me even as they spread apart.
“I need money,” my stepfather says.
“That’s all you ever think about, isn’t it?”
“I don’t have another choice—”
“Shut the hell up,” the man closest to my stepfather growls. He spins and punches my father in law, sending him to the ground.
I take the moment of distraction to run, but the other man grabs my purse, yanking me back. I slide my arm out of the strap and rush toward the nearest room. The moment the door closes behind me I lock it.
The man outside pounds on the door, but I push my back against it while pulling my phone out. I hit Thorne’s number and gasp as the door rattles behind me.
Fear flares in me as the phone rings and rings and rings.
“This is Thorne. I can’t answer the…”
I cry out as the door shakes again.
“Thorne! I’m at my parent’s house! Help!” I screech, diving for the window and climbing through. I fall to the ground, scrambling to grab my phone when it clatters to the ground before jumping up and running.
I sprint past the car, wishing I still had my purse and keys.
I can only run and hide until Thorne finds me. Looking around, I spot the edge of the forest. I don’t know my way around, but it’s my only escape.
Shouts sound from behind me, and my heart jolts, fear shooting through my body like lightning. I make it to the trees just as they come out of the house, and I force myself to keep running. They’re werewolves. No doubt.
If I don’t keep going, they’ll catch me.
Actually, they’ll probably catch me either way, and they’ll take me back to that awful club to sell me.
The thought has tears swimming in my eyes as I fumble with my phone. My hands are shaking, and my vision is blurring so badly that I struggle to click Thorne’s number.
“There!” A loud voice shouts, and I look back. The two men aren’t far behind. They’re too close.
“Leave me alone!” I scream, darting to the left into a thicker patch of trees.
I nearly fall when my phone begins ringing and I’ve never pressed answer faster.
“Thorne!”
“Aurora, where are you?”
“F-Forest. They’re going to catch me,” I cry, dodging a large tree.
“Who? Which forest?”
“The club men! I need y—Ah!”
My foot catches on a root, sending me tumbling forward. I scream as I bounce and roll down a hill. Each jagged rock, low limb, and root stabs and scratches at me. I clutch my phone, my only lifeline in this, until I land in a heap, gasping for air.
“Down there! If we lose her, the boss will kill us,” I hear from somewhere above. I snatch my phone off the ground and lift it to my ear.
“Th-Thorne, they’re close.”
The entire world tilts and spins. I push myself up, using a tree to stand as I look for an escape.
“I’m coming, Aurora. Whatever you do, don’t let them catch you. Stay on the phone with me, but if we get disconnected, call Jace. I’m coming for you!”
“Please hurry.”
The line stays connected but it goes silent as I run.
He’s coming.
Thorne is coming for me.
