“It was,” she answered. “Takes me back to when I was a teen, and I babysat. I thought life was hard back then. God, I was wrong. Babysitting the neighbor kids and my cousins is nothing compared to running a business.”

He gave her a nod with a faint smirk. “Interesting how that goes, huh?”

“You know, you’ve never told me about you growing up. What was that like?”

He shrugged. “How any other person would grow up.”

“Give me a little detail,” she begged, batting her eyelashes.

He frowned. “Honestly, it wasn’t fun. Being the first son of the alpha, my teen years weren’t anything to brag about. I was always held to a higher standard than my brother, and to be honest, I was jealous of how carefree he got to live his life.”

He sighed. “He was able to do what he wanted when he wanted while I was always watched. I had to hold a better image because soon, the pack would look to me for answers. It was lonely.”

She heard the vulnerability in his voice and reached out a hand. She gave his fingers a squeeze. She couldn’t imagine that. She had always been surrounded by people, and what he described sounded isolating.

He gave her a smile, and she leaned forward, kissing him. She didn’t know where the courage came from, but she did. She kissed him, and he wrapped his arms around her, pulling her close.

The kiss deepened, and within moments, they were laying back on the sofa with Nox pulling at her clothes. She knew if she didn’t want to go any further, they wouldn’t, but she did. She allowed him to pull her shirt off and then her shorts. His hands sent sparks through her entire body.

He gave her a crooked smile. “God, you’re so sexy.”

She blushed. “You think so?”

“Fuck, Kelli, you’re a knockout. You’re damn gorgeous, and anyone with eyes would be able to see that.”

She watched as his lips kept kissing down her stomach, making her insides flip. The anticipation built in her chest. “What exactly about me do you like?”

She watched his lips curl up. “I love your curves, and the way you walk puts extra sway in them. God, it’s fucking amazing to watch. You’re kind and caring about everything. You smell amazing all the time, and I can’t wait to taste every inch of you.”

His hands settled on her thighs, spreading her wide. She swallowed suddenly, feeling unable to contain her voice. Nox’s lips traveled down her lower stomach, and then he sucked on her clit. She moaned loudly.

Her hands gripped the couch, and her head fell back. This wasn’t the best idea, but she couldn’t help herself. It felt right. She hadn’t ever felt anything like this in her life. Her body felt on fire, and as his tongue sank deeper into her, she nearly screamed his name.

Nox ate her like she was a plate served just for him. She came hard, panting for air. She could see Nox was hard, and he didn’t make her wait.

His pants came off, and her eyes went wide, taking in his cock. He was large, and she was eager. She suddenly wanted him badly.

“Hands up.” She didn’t argue. She pulled her hands up, and he held them down above her head. She sighed, loving how sexy it felt. She felt caged down.

He slid into her, and she tightened, sucking in a gasping breath.

“You feel fucking amazing,” he growled into her ear, and she nodded. “Fucking perfect.”

“Oh, please,” she begged, unable to hold herself together. She wanted him to move. She wanted him to fuck her.

He held her to the couch and fucked her. He was gentle, but with each thrust, he slid farther into her until she couldn’t hold on any longer.

ELEVEN

NOX

Nox struggled out of troubled dreams, clawing his way into wakefulness. The loss of Nevel and Elise beat at him like the dawn of a headache in the back of his brain. Even in sleep, he could not be rid of it.

When he turned over in bed, and his hand brushed against Kelli’s soft skin, his eyes flew open. The previous night came back to him in a hot, heady rush. Broken images flowed through his mind as his body hummed in all the right places, sensory memory assaulting him from the inside out. He also remembered how he didn’t go out and hunt for his brother as he’d planned.

I can’t believe I’ve done this.

It was not unbelievable that he’d had sex with the most beautiful woman in the world. The unbelievable part was that he had found his mate.
