'I wish I understood any of this Chris…' I innocently stated, and that was all the push that he needed.
He rummaged through the room, throwing things everywhere. He only stopped when he opened the drawer and read through a letter that he found there. Then he turned back towards the door.
'Chris, stop, please!', I cried. 'What does this have to do with my mother?'
Without turning around, he said gravely 'By sunrise, I don't want to see you here again. Pack up your things and leave, go anywhe...

All of a sudden there was a growl that ripped through the room and the band stopped playing and I heard something smash. Like it was a wooden chair or something.
Everyone looked in that direction and there was a man standing there that I had never noticed before. He would have been in his early 20's, brown hair to his shoulders, a brown goatee, 6-foot 6 at least and very defined muscles that were now tense as his intense gaze was staring directly at me and Mason.
But I didn't know who he was. I ...

“So impatient.”
“Shut up and kiss me,” she responds.
He needn’t be told twice. In a beat, Lorcan scoops her up in a motion too fast for the human eye to see. Hooking her legs around his waist, he carries her toward the bed while their lips wage war. He is already incredibly hard for her, his trousers becoming excruciatingly uncomfortable by the second as his patience hangs by a thread.
“This…” he says and tugs at the back of her dress, “…needs to come off.”
“Take it off,” Elle just about orders ...

“He held my robe and ripped the buttons off before he bit my neck.
He began to suck on it like he was looking for something and without being able to control it, I began to let out moans of pleasure.
"You smell so delicious Astra, don't wear this perfume around anyone that isn't me" he said before he began to trace his tongue down from my neck to my chest.
"Open your legs" I felt his cold wet tongue touch my clit as his hands traced down the wall of my cunt.
"I want to eat you." His voice g...

"Say another word and I'll bite your tongue off, you'll lose it."
He replied in a daring tone and my sense told me that he wasn't playing this time around.
I would rather endure the pain than to make sure that I lost any part of my body.
"I would prefer I die... Ah!" I screamed when his fangs sank into my neck drawing blood like it was a fountain gushing out.
I was stupefied but my hands couldn't move anymore.
My name is being called out in rooms I’ve not walked int...

She didn’t think. She didn’t care.
Mara shoved him against the cave wall, her fingers clawing at his torn shirt, ripping it away to reveal the hard planes of his chest, scarred and glistening with sweat.
His growl vibrated against her mouth as he spun her, pinning her beneath him on the cold stone floor.
His hands gripped her thighs, bruising in their intensity, as he drove his rock hard cock into her, their pace quickening, desperate, and needy until the world narrowed to the heat.
They lay t...

I gently shut my eyes as his soft breaths caressed my face. I wanted to live in this moment forever. To forget about everything else. Families, duties, nature, everything.

He swings me around to face him and brings me against his chest. I gasp loudly and place my hand on his chest.
“Where do you think you are going?”
“Over there.” I whimper, nodding in the direction of the stools.
