she stood and stretched, glancing at the lovely carvings in the furniture. These are truly magnificent. There were scenes of wolves howling by the moonlight depicted in the furniture and carvings. They belonged to my parents. They handed it down to me as their sole female child. When my brother mates, he will get some things I am supposed to pass down to his mate. She rubbed a hand over the wood. It was smooth to the touch. You have a brother. Does he live here with you? No. He lives higher on the mountain peak next to this one. Brecc likes to be on his own. Charlotte whipped her head around so fast she almost got whiplash. I m sorry, did you say Brecc is your brother? Alessandra nodded, her smile grew wider. Yes. He is the Alpha. That much she knew. How in the world is he your brother? You re so& so& Shit she didn t want to sound like a bitch, but the fact was he was so anti-social and Alessandra had been a sweetheart so far. She couldn t figure out why Brecc was so serious. Ah, yes. Different. Like I said, he s Alpha, she said like that explained everything. TWELVE Forgive me but I don t understand what Alpha has to do with anything. She followed Alessandra into another room. It appeared to be a ladies sitting room with lavender sofas facing a wall window that showed off the outdoors. Alessandra motioned for her to sit and took a seat across from Charlotte. He was raised to repress the need to be emotional. Alphas do not worry so much about being in touch with feelings. She winced and glanced down at her hand before meeting Charlotte s gaze. Our parents were divided on how they wanted their children to be raised. I spent my time with my mother, learning how to heal severe battle wounds and deepening my emotional connection with the females of the pack. And Brecc? She shook her head, her lips tipping down. He spent his time with our father. Father was the ultimate soldier. Before Brecc took over, father was in constant battle with the Dragos. He raised him to be solitary. He seems to get along with Eros, she pointed out, now more curious than before over Brecc and his distant personality. Ah, yes. That is because they are a pair. They have a very special bond. Oh. I& She frowned, figured that she got shit all backwards. I think I was confused. What the hell was going on? She could have sworn they d both been hitting on her, but now finding out they were gay? Seriously? It s quite all right. Alessandra glanced at the door behind Charlotte. Come in, Eros. Charlotte turned to see him standing by the room entrance, his gaze on her face. I have tea for Charlotte, he said, bringing a steaming mug and placing it on the table next to Charlotte. Let me check on Tatiana. I ll return in a few, Alessandra said, standing and heading out of the room. Charlotte stood and moved to the glass window. She stared at the valley of trees and hills below. It was late in the day so she couldn t see the shimmering snow like they d promised, but she still got a great view of the picturesque blue snow-covered forest. The sound of the door clicking closed made her turn to Eros. A warm smile spread over his lips. God. The injustice. She d been fantasizing about kissing him and now she found out he wasn t interested in batting for her team. He came closer, his steps quiet and sure. Their gazes met and held. There was no stopping the warm lust heating her blood. How are you feeling? Warm enough? he asked, his voice low and incredibly seductive. She nodded, her eyes betraying her and sliding to glance at his lips. Yes. I m good. He stopped a few inches away from her, closed his eyes and inhaled. A low groan sounded in the back of his throat. Your scent is driving me crazy. She inhaled but got nothing. She d showered and put on the basics but she d been warned against heavy perfumes, so she had no idea what scent he was talking about. It is? He took another step and her back plastered against the glass. His eyes changed from the soft blue to a bright gold that sent shivers down her spine. Yes. He lifted a hand and cupped her cheek, caressing the side of her face with so much care, one would think he was worried she d break. Her breath stilled in her chest. She licked her lips, swallowing at the knot in her throat. Shit, but he was gay. She didn t turn gay guys straight. She certainly had a hard enough time with men who liked women. She tried to figure out if he liked her for her, or because he was thinking of a penis. What were the rules with gay men? Maybe she should say she had no penis. The way his chest rose and fell caught her attention. She saw how hard his breathing had become. She wanted to kiss him so badly. Just one taste. Nobody needed to know. As if he d read her mind, he brought his head down and brushed his lips softly over hers. Explosions rocketed in her chest. She sighed into the kiss and he deepened it, swiping his tongue into her mouth to caress over hers. She raised her hands to his chest, gripping his shirt in her fists. She d been kissed many times in her thirty-five years, but never had she ever been kissed with so much tenderness. He slid his fingers into her hair, pulling her face closer and holding her at an angle to go even deeper. Tension coiled in her belly and desire sent moisture straight to her panties. She let him take, giving freely into the kiss. He glided a hand down to her breast, cupping one of her tits and fondling her over her sweater. Her clit throbbed with the need to come. She pressed closer, feeling the hard bar of his erection on her belly. Lord, that felt good. So good. She wanted to wrap her legs around his waist and watch him slide balls deep into her. THIRTEEN He pulled back, taking ragged breaths and eating her with his gaze. I knew you d be perfect from the moment I saw you. Your taste is addictive. He pressed his lips over hers in a light caress. [ Pobierz całość w formacie PDF ] |
