Lifetime ~ Livingston(Because it still works lol)AdeaShane took his warmth with him, and my skin pebbled. I blinked up at the ceiling before I stared at his back. It seemed unfair. I lay naked beside him, while he was the exact opposite. Sitting up, I reached out, my fingers hesitated. We’d gone so much farther today than we ever had before. I didn’t want to lose him. I touched his back. Everything happened so fast. I couldn’t even track it. His spine straightened, and in a flash, he gripped my arm. I yelped as our eyes locked. There was a haunted look in his gaze, but when he blinked, it was gone. He released me and took a deep, shuddering breath.“Shane…”“I needed to get up,” he replied gruffly.“Yeah? That’s fine. I don’t mind,” I answered carefully.“If we stayed like that, I would have fucked you again.”“I wouldn’t have minded that either,” I laughed.“Mm..” he hummed.“Don’t think you’re off the hook just because you’re willing to be cute.”Crawling to the edge of the bed,
“You’re sticking with this story?”Doubt. Of course I doubted him. Shane was saying that not only did he know about our past lives, multiple past lives, but he also knew who Gabe ended up with. While it’s been interesting up to this point, this little detail had my full attention. I have wanted nothing more than my best friend’s happiness. And Shane dangled the bait in front of me. There was no way I wasn’t going to bite.“I’m giving you the truth. You asked and I delivered.”His eyes were lit up like the stars in the night sky and I couldn’t help but smile at him. I liked him like this. Goddess, I loved it. I didn’t want him to revert into alphahole Shane because I knew he was still in there.“You didn’t give me shit.”“I—”“Ah, I’m not done, sir. You told me you knew who his mate was. You didn’t give me a name,” I bargained.“Oh, Princess. I told you that I knew something you didn’t. I never said I’d tell you the details.”“That’s not… how that works.” Uncrossing my arms, I leaned f
The nervousness in Shane’s eyes was replaced with understanding, his features relaxed as his body against mine sagged in relief. I didn’t bother trying to stop the smile from stretching across my face. We were in a bubble of our own world and I’d do anything to stay. His signature smirk pulled at the corner of his lip and he leaned down. Gravitating toward him until we were so close, I could feel his breath on the side of my face. I should be excited because, against my better judgment, I wanted to trust him, and needed to know who Gabe’s mate was. But all I could feel was my thighs clenching as he licked his lips, the wetness light on my ear.“You said we were cursed.”“Yes.” His response was slow and drawn up, as if unsure of where I was going. His eyes flashed as he stared intently at me. My face reflected back at me as if I was the only person in the world.“How did we become cursed?” The silence was deafening. I don’t even think he was breathing. Then he was moving, and I was bei
M&M’s for Breakfast ~ NaikaNeeding to see more of the painting, I turned from him. Squinting, trying to make out the images. Just like in the hallway, some decorated the walls of his room. There’s a sword piercing a bleeding heart on this one. Beside it, another grabbed my attention. There were lighter colors on this one. Hands hurriedly grabbing at… is that potatoes scattered on the ground? One after the other, I stopped and took it in before moving to the next. Until I came across one, I couldn’t shake.Long brown hair flowed down, down, down. A woman in what looked like a lake reached for Shane. Her fingers brushed against an inked chest as he stared down at her. There was so much love in his gaze, it made my chest twang with a pain I couldn’t understand. These are familiar, but that’s all wrong because I don’t recall this. Even if Shane was telling the truth about the past lives thing, would it make sense for him to remember and for me not to?Still, I stare at the way he watches
Love Me ~ RealestKDon’t Lie ~ NaikaShane’s hand found my hip, and he flipped me around. My body was hot, our tongues thrust into the other’s mouth as he pulled me up. My breasts lid up his chest and I wrapped my legs around his waist. His hands came around and gripped my ass cheeks. I groaned into his mouth as his fingers danced dangerously close to my pussy. My nipples were hard against him as I arched my back. My hands darted into his hair and he growled as my nails scraped against his scalp.“I’ll never tire of your lips. You taste like home, Princess.”His chest vibrated. The rumble in his voice sent a dark jolt through me, and his words had my pussy dripping. The words moaned between kisses.“Shane,” I whimpered when he moved his lips from mine.“Yes, Princess?” His mouth slid over my cheek before dropping to my neck. Everything clenched as his teeth scraped over my marking spot. My heart thrummed in my chest as he walked backward to the bed. He lowered himself, and I dragged m
!! Physical and Sexual abuse in this book may be triggering for survivors !! Had I been a normal child, I would have hesitated. I would have felt guilty, sad, and maybe pity for the man in front of me but I didn’t. The warm glow from the full moon lit up the dark room. The rays caressed my cheek, squeezed my arm, and wrapped around me. I closed my eyes as they held me like a blanket and promised me that everything would be okay. It was as if she were whispering to me, telling me she was here with me. As if confirming that I was making the right choice. It felt as if the moon agreed with my choice. I was comforted with the knowledge that there was nothing wrong with what I was about to do. She told me there was nothing wrong with what I was doing, that there was nothing wrong with what I was about to do. If anything, she urged me forward. I lifted my chin and smiled at her, the Moon, not the Goddess that left me here by myself. Not the Goddess that did nothing to help me all those ti
Adea I walked through the hallway. My bare foot slapped against the floor while the other click-clacked as I walked. I’d lost the other one when he picked me up and threw me across the room. Finding it was the last thing on my mind. The servants avoided looking in my direction and those who were near me avoided my gaze. I’d learned a long time ago that no one was going to help me. I didn’t expect anything, not from my father and not from them. No one said it, they didn’t have to. Parents were supposed to love and care for you, I knew that much. My nursemaid once told me that parents love in different ways. Some are affectionate and some just don’t know how to show that love. Even as a young girl I knew she was lying to me, I knew for a fact my father didn’t love me. My father hated me, I knew that for sure. I didn’t have to do much to make him angry. I would say the wrong thing, look the wrong way, and he would hit me. He told me it was because I was supposed to have been born a boy
Part 1 - Before Shane I have loved her since the first time I laid eyes on her but I won’t start there. Let’s start the day before I saw her, the day before I met her, the day before my life changed. Hack. Hack. Hack. The meat split and fell apart under my blade. I spent my day cutting meat into smaller pieces. The other kids my age preferred to work out in the field, saying it was more fun being outdoors under the sun. I preferred being on my own. All the meat hung from the ceiling. My daily job was to prepare the meat for the packhouse meals. The errand boy would run the packaged meat to the packhouse kitchen where they would prepare it for the higher-ranked members. Someone ran up to my window. I wasn’t expecting him for another hour. “What are you doing here?” I asked. When Devin came up to the window, I was even more confused. Why was he here? Probably here to spout off more useless information. Devin was someone who worked in the fields tending to the vegetables. Sometime
