"I'm talking to you, the least you can do is acknowledge me." "Hello. Now get the fuck away from me. I'm on my lunch hour. My time, not yours." Marc growled low and Jonny's entire body went on alert; her cat seemed to skim along her skin. She stood up, dumping her lunch on the table and backed up. "You felt it, didn't you?" He moved toward her slowly as he spoke low. "You want to come to me, don't you? You want to touch me." "I'm not feeling well. I would like to go home." He shook his head and continued coming toward her. "You can't keep me here. I can go when I want to." The vending machine touched her back. She knew she was trapped. Looking to her left, she could see the wall, and to her right was another table. He was nearly to her when she looked at him.

Gordon Force only had two weeks to go on his job. He was going to be working with his brother Dallas in keeping their alpha safe. But he had a favor to fulfill, a shop to visit and only a question or two to ask. He never expected four kids, two goofy aunts and his mate to walk into his life. Alexis Dark was hiding. Her brother-in-law was a real piece of work and she knew he'd killed his wife, her sister. But no one wanted to believe that he had done it.

When Gordon went to her house to speak to her again she met him at her door smelling like soap, shampoo and oh so lovely sex. She closed her eyes to the almost purr of his voice. It was hypnotic and the most soothing thing she'd ever heard in her life. When she found herself pressed against him she looked up into his eyes suddenly very afraid and very needy. "Don't," she said as he lowered his head to hers. "Please, don't." "Too late." He brushed his mouth over hers once then pulled back to look at her again. "Christ, it's you." This time when he took her mouth, it was to devour her.

"Good morning, Diamond. And to what do I owe this pleasure-" "Don't fuck with me and I won't you." He started to snap at her, but he simply nodded and sat down. "I'm here about my sister. She's hurt, did you know that?" "I hurt her yesterday when I moved her away from..." Diamond was shaking her head. "Then I don't understand. How else was she hurt? If you're talking about the wound on her back, I didn't cause that one." "Jeffery Benetton did that and a great deal more to her. And yesterday trying to get away from you, she hurt herself even more. She had a broken rib and a gash on her left hip that I had to put fifteen stitches in after she went to sleep." Diamond sat down across from him as she continued. "Did you know that she gave up everything to keep us safe from men like you?" "I'm nothing like Benetton, and I resent you coupling my name with his." She only stared at him, and he shifted on his seat. "Why are you here?" "I came to see what kind of man you are.

Now, if only he can get his head out of his ass, learn to treat Sapphire the way she should be treated, maybe, just maybe, there is a chance for them...that is unless Jeffery Benetton finds her first...

Agon "She is not going to be my wife. In any way, Riss." Riss nodded as Agon started pacing again. "I want to touch her. Feel her body close to mine and kiss her. I have a need to taste her mouth to see if it tastes as good as I think it might. Then there is my body. I cannot control it around her. I run so hot and hard that I feel as if the world knows that I need her in ways that are not right." "She will taste better than you can ever dream of, and her body will give you pleasure in ways you cannot imagine." Agon stared at him for several seconds. "But you cannot touch her. She is your charge. If you do not wish to have her as your wife, then you must not touch her in any way. If you do...if you do, my friend, then there will be no turning back. For the touch of the woman you are to spend your days with will haunt you in ways that will make you want to end your life in order to be with her. Trust me on this. I am well aware of how your body will crave her, and you will stop at nothing to have her again and again." "I do not want her." Riss nodded and could see that Agon was lying to him as much as he was himself. "She is beautiful and stubborn, but I do not want her. But I fear that it might be too late for me."
