I chuckle quietly, reaching over and pulling her closer, savoring the heat of her body as she easily melts into my side. “Promises, promises, doll.”

Her blue eyes finally flutter open, and my breath catches at how stunning she looks, still flushed and relaxed from sleep. She shifts slightly, propping herself up on one elbow,her delicate hand resting comfortably on my bare chest. Her fingertips trace lazy patterns, sparking heat beneath my skin.

She tilts her head up, her gaze finding mine, bright with amusement and something deeper—something that makes my pulse quicken. “Oh, believe me, Fox. Those are promises I fully intend to keep.”

I lift an eyebrow, smirking down at her, unable to resist the magnetic pull she has over me. I trail my fingers along her side, teasing the soft curve of her waist beneath the thin material of her sleep shirt.

“I think I might need a demonstration of exactly what you have in mind,” I murmur, my voice dipping lower, thick with anticipation.

Her eyes darken slightly, her lips parting as her breath hitches. “Be careful what you ask for, Alpha. I’m feeling adventurous today.”

My grin widens slowly as I cup her jaw, thumb brushing lightly across her bottom lip. “Then show me, sweetheart. I’m all yours.”

Violet’s eyes soften, her playful smile fading into something more tender as she leans in closer, slowly closing the space between us. Her lips brush softly over mine—a featherlight, hesitant but inviting touch. Warmth sparks in my chest, and I immediately relax into her gentle kiss, my hand sliding up to cup her cheek, thumb softly stroking her jaw.

She hums quietly against my lips, her body melting further against mine, the tension in her muscles easing as her confidence grows. Her fingers flex gently against my chest, and the sweet scent of lemon frosting surrounds me, deepening my hunger.

When she pulls back slightly, her blue eyes find mine, heavy-lidded and bright with trust.

“Fox,” she whispers, my name rolling softly off her tongue, making my heart race.

I tilt her chin up gently, guiding her lips back to mine. This time she kisses me with more certainty, her lips pressing firmly, eagerly, surrendering completely to the warmth building between us. I return her kiss slowly, savoring every second, deepening the bond we’ve been carefully building.

In this moment, nothing else matters but her.

Chapter Six

Fox

May 23rd

8:02 A.M

My arm tightened possessively around her waist, drawing her even closer until there’s nothing between us but the heat of our bodies.

Her leg slides over mine, her thighs straddling me with a confidence that makes my pulse thrum. Her cheeks are flushed, skin glowing with desire, and her lips are deliciously swollen from the relentless hunger of our kiss. The way her chest rises and falls, breath shallow and needy, is intoxicating.

I trail my fingers along her back, letting them settle against the curve of her spine. My voice drops, low and taunting, a growl wrapped in velvet. “What do you want, doll?”

Her eyes blaze with hunger, bold and unashamed. “You, alpha. Every. Part. Of. You.”

A wicked grin stretches across my lips. I trace a thumb over her trembling bottom lip, my gaze locked on hers. “Is that right? Tell me exactly what you want, sweetheart. Do you want my mouth on you, tasting every inch of you? My fingers buried deep inside, making you fall apart with every desperate pulse? Or maybe you want me to pin you down and drive you wild, make you scream my name while you come undone all over my cock?”

I feel her shudder against me, her body’s answer coming before her words. And God, that’s all the permission I need.

Violet’s body feels delicate and electric beneath my touch, her skin burning through the thin cotton of her sleep shirt. I can feel her heartbeat thundering just as wildly as mine. Her hips settle against me, her thighs pressing against my sides as she leans forward, her curls spilling past her face like a curtain of dark silk.

“Everything,” she whispers, her voice trembling with want and urgency. “I want everything, Fox.”

Gods, hearing her say my name like that, all soft and needy, nearly wrecks me. But I keep my composure, let the hunger simmer instead of boil over. I reach up, fingers sliding beneath the hem of her sleep shirt, tracing the smooth skin of her thighs and waist, feeling her shiver under my touch.

“Everything, huh?” I murmur, my tone deep and edged with a growl. “You know what that does to me, baby? Hearing you beg for it like that?”

I roll until she’s lying beneath me. She laughs softly. Her breath hitches as I drag my fingers along her hips, the fabric of her panties barely a barrier. I hook my thumbs beneath the waistband, tugging just enough to tease. Her eyes widened, pupils blown, her lips parting as I grazed my teeth over the curve of her neck.

“Or maybe…” I continue, my voice dropping lower, rich with the promise of everything she’s asking for. “Maybe I should take my time. Make you feel every touch until you’re shaking, soaked, and so desperate you can’t even think straight.”

Her hips rock against me instinctively, her body answering for her. The feel of her pressed against my cock sendsa jolt of heat through me, and I groan, fingers tightening against her skin.
