Page 55 of Half Truths: Then

My gift of sight comes with a heavy price many don’t understand; it takes more than it gives. Seeing the inevitable makes you relive the heartbreak while simultaneously forcing you to accept what cannot be changed.

This is one of those instances I want to fight. To not give in to what we are: two halves of a whole created to give and take while walking this life together. Xadiel Evergreen lives in the very makeup of my DNA—the most precious part of me—and I can’t deny the pull.

But then he purrs for me and my mind stops, a ripple effect as I whine for the first time in my life. It’s not a noise that witches make, not like this, and he answers my call with a low growl.

I know what he wants. Deep down, I do too.

And the trickle of my arousal further proves that. I’m wet and throbbing between my legs, can feel each drop as it clings to my labia and then falls onto my thighs, thighs I’m currently rubbing together.

“My female.” It’s a rumble, so deep. An unsatiated yearning. “So fucking beautiful.”

“Xadiel, I…” I’m shaking, unable to breathe as his now clawed hand travels from my hip to the underside of my breasts, teasing me over the material of my dress. Just the tip, a gentle back and forth, but it feels so good. “Oh fuck.”

“Yes, love?” Another pass, this one across each nipple, and I moan. The sound is loud in the dead of night while the rain picks up. Lighting strikes and the trees sway, absorbing the gift of water while it clings to our skin. His lips don’t touch mine, but rather sweep across my cheek to just below my ear where one fang nicks the skin. “Tell me what you need, and I’ll move heaven and earth to lay it at your feet.”

“We shouldn’t.” My last attempt, even if it’s the last thing I want.

“Tell me to stop, baby. I’ll honor your every request.” Words don’t form and my throat only manages another needy sound, body trembling in his hold. A hold that loosens. Xadiel tries to back up and give me a little space. “Say it. Say stop.”

“No.”

“Isabella, I’ll—”

“Touch me.”

“Where, little witch?” The sound of fabric tearing is loud while the sting of it being ripped from my skin makes me hiss. I like the slight sting and the resounding growl that follows as he takes me in.

He’s seen most of me, but not like this.

Nature is my playground and surrounded by the trees and rain. I’m free. I’m also his.

“Everywhere, Alpha. Make me yours.”

“Motherfuck,” he exhales roughly, eyes on my thigh where the tattoo of his wolf takes up most of my upper leg. It’s the first time he’s seen it. His office was too frantic, and the natural gold bleeds into the black as his human side retakes control. Both are there, but it’s Xadiel who reaches down and touches the image with reverence. As if he can’t believe it.

Without a word, he’s soft and sweet before that same massive hand grips my hip and tug me forward. Our bodies crash and stumble a bit, but I’m safe with him. Know this like I know my own name. “I don’t deserve you, Isabella.”

“You’ve been lost.”

“But I should’ve recognized you for what you are…my home. My life.” With ease, he lifts me and my legs go around his waist, our lips now hovering. His length is also at my entrance, not entering but kissing the flexing hole. “I’ll make it up to you.”

“Will you?”

“My life is yours.” His nose nuzzles mine. “One taste of you was never enough. So sweet, and all I’ve wanted was you like this.”

“How?” Another low keening whine. “Please.”

“You’re mine to cherish and fuck. Do you understand that?”

“I do. So much it hurts.”

“Then let me soothe your aches.” Then he’s kissing me and the world fades away. It’s reverent and sweet with just the right touch of desperation to set my heart ablaze. Our tongues twine and teeth click, the sharpness of his fangs heightening the pulse in my clit.

I find them sexy. The knowledge he can pierce my skin is dangerous and arousing; I want him to. It’s why I grip his hair and tug, moving his head to my liking in provocation.

Wolves like to be in control.

Alpha want complete submission.
