Cyn. We had been driving all night. I was asleep most of that drive. I could tell we were getting closer to the oasis when the sparse scrub brush that lined the road began to grow taller, the color deepening, giving way to a line of cypress trees that reached to the faded blue sky.“You were right,” I said softly, my eyes trained on the horizon, on the flat topped rocks that looked as though they had been set right on top of the red sand, “it is beautiful out here.” I had doubts about coming here, but mostly it was because I was afraid of being with him alone. Not after what happened between us. “And dangerous.” he chimed in. “Life is dangerous, though, isn’t it, Paul?”I noticed his knuckles whiten as he gripped the steering wheel of the off-road vehicle more tightly. “It can be.” he said, his knuckles still holding on tight. “You know that more than most people, don’t you?”“Why do you ask that?”“Because you are always telling me how much life experience can take from you. I
Paul. I watched Cyn run her fingers lightly over the furniture. My body tightened as i imagined those delicate hands on my body, even as my stomach churned with rage at the thought of her with Ace, sleeping together, him touching in all the places I wanted to touch her, having his children, she should have been mine. She deserves so much more, more than she got. Her father was dead now so the contract might as well be void. I didn't care that it was my boss she was married to, he did not deserve her. I had brought here here, to my family home, she had nowhere to go and I could not just turn her away.She needed help, and I gave it to her. Ace did not know about this place, which is why it was the perfect hiding place for her. He would never find her. I had brought her here for my own selfish reasons too, to prove to myself that i could master my desire for her. And i could.There was no other option. It didn’t matter that she appealed to me more than any woman in my memory. My j
Cyn. It was going to be a really long night. I had tossed and turned a million times and it was still nine. I couldn’t sleep. It was comfortable in the tent; the night air of the desert was cool. I could hear thick drops of rain hitting the canvas roof, beating on it mercilessly. I knew that sudden downpours, along with flash flooding, were common in this region.But it wasn’t fear that kept me awake.No. I was so hot inside. Burning. Emotions were at war with desire, a desire that was growing quickly into a need as powerful as my need for food. Water. Breath.I didn’t know what it was I felt for Paul. I wasn’t certain I wanted to know. It was nothing I had planned. I had wanted to get to know myself better. To find out if I liked blue because I liked it, or because my father had told me it flattered my colouring. I had found a lot more than that, and with it smit had started a battle inside myself.I swung my legs over the side of the bed and stood, padding out into the living area
PaulI let her play with my chest, my scars for a while longer, unable to stop her. I didn't want to stop her, I wanted her to continue, I wanted this feeling to last forever. But I also knew I could not let this happen, if I let it happen I would never be able to stop myself. I wanted her, I craved her, I even had dreams about her. But she was forbidden, the one woman I was not supposed to touch. I stiffened, pulling away from her hot touch. My heart was hammering in my chest, my muscles so tight they ached. My whole body ached for her, for her to flatten her palm against my skin, to continue her exploration into more intimate territory. I should stop her. Should have stopped her the moment she placed her hand on me. Yet i had been held a captive of what she was doing to me, of what she made me feel.It had started out as an innocent, comforting gesture. Because Cyn was an innocent woman, A woman i had no business touching.Some of the fractured light from the overhead lanterns da
CynI gasped as Paul tightened his hold on me, pulling me onto his lap, bringing me into contact with the hardened length of his erection the evidence i needed to know that he desired meas I desired him.Excitement, fear and need slammed into me. My entire body was shaking with it. Then he leaned in, taking my mouth with a ferocity i hadn’t expected, his lips firm, insistent, his tongue hot as it slid between my lips. I moaned, all the fear deserting me. This was Paul. The man i desired above all else.I could have lived my entire life without having my picture taken in front of the Eiffel Tower. I would have been fine if I had never been to a cinema. But this … i could not have lived never knowing what it was to make love with Paul.I pushed his shirt from his shoulders, letting it fall to the floor.The sight of him in the flickering lantern light was enough to push my arousal to unbearable heights. I moved my hands over his shoulders, across his back, loving the play of muscles be
Cyn. Of all the things life had thrown at me, this by far was the worst. Most girls looked forward to the day they would get their wolf and find their mate. But finding my mate was not high in the list of things that I wanted to do in life. I watched as he signed the papers, he never once looked in my direction. It was like he was doing everything he possibly could not to look at me. His father, Alpha Cole was sitting next to him. I had never met him in person but the rumours preceded him. He was one of the most feared and well respected alpha around the globe. He was known for his strict rules and no mercy policies. No one dared cross him and if they did, they never lived long enough to tell about it. My father whispered something to him, it was funny. The one man that was obligated to protect me, was the one selling me out. I was the sacrificial lamb, he used me to save himself and our pack. My father was a huge gambler and alcoholic. He wasn't always like that though
Cyn. I looked around the surroundings, even the air around here smelt different and fresh. It was like the rich lived in their own different little world. I had no idea, what to expect. It had been three years since we saw each other. Three years of loneliness and solitude. He never came visit me, not even once. He never called either, one day I asked one of the matrons for his number, I wanted to call him, ask him how he was doing. But instead i just stared at the number until I fell asleep. It was difficult at first, but as time went by I got used to it. "How far out are we?" I asked Paul, the driver who was driving me from the airport. Ace didn't even make the time to come pick me up from the airport, but he was a busy man. What did I really expect? That he would stop what he was doing just to come get me? I have never been that type of girl. The girl anyone makes time for I mean. The nerves were certainly kicking in and my whole body was sweating profusely from parts I d
Cyn. "Good morning Cyn." Alba said from the door smiling. I loved her, she reminded me so much of my mother. "Good morning Alba," I said smiling back. " I have never slept so comfortably in my life." i said excitedly as I got off bed and walked over to draw the curtains of my window. "It's such a beautiful morning Alba, I think I might go for a swim." "Oooh no," Alba said stopping me "Whats wrong?" I asked confused. "You can't go swimming today." "But why not Alba, it's a beautiful day." "Because you have a gala to attend with Mr Cole. He is going to introduce you to the world as his wife." "Oooh." i said with lack of a better word. "So let's get you to look like a princess, shall we?" Alba said smiling as she took my arm. After spending over four hours this morning getting myself ready for this gala, the nerves were starting to come in now. I looked different, so different I was having a hard time recognizing myself in the mirror I looked at my reflection in the mi
