ChapterOne
PERLA WALKER
The snore isloud enough to wake the dead. Which I’m kinda wishing I was right now. Because what’s more awkward than being stranded at a stranger’s house, wide awake, while everyone else is asleep?
Everyone, including the house’s owner, who isn’t even aware I’m here. I’m an unannounced guest of his little brother, Rory, my best friend and the guy saving me from spending winter break on campus. Alone. Which hadn’t bothered me until I saw who was scheduled by the university to be the faculty monitor for our dorm over the holidays.
So, yeah, I guess some things are more awkward than lying here, wide awake, in Rory’s bed while he’s dead to the world asleep next to me. Including the soundtrack of his brother’s snores from down the hallway. Trying to avoid TA Perry Hurd and his creepo handsy self all break would be way, way more awkward.
Rory left out some pretty important details when he convinced me it would be fine to come home with him until spring semester starts in a few weeks. Starting with the fact that when he said his big brother’s house is “gigantic” what he really meant is “built for giants.” Everything in this place is Goliath sized.
Up to and including this bed in Rory’s room, which is big enough for me and my bestie and maybe even a few more pals. I’m glad for that part. Much as I adore him and am thankful for his rescuing me from the clutches of a gross creep, cuddling up to Rory at night is not on my agenda. At all.
Both of us are freshman at the university, and we live in the same dorm, though we’re both in single dorm rooms. Me because my micromanaging father thinks it’s a risk to give me so much one-on-one time with anyone he can’t control. And Rory? Well, the way Rory puts it, his brother’s a stubbornly overprotective lunkhead. Rory swears his brother still thinks he’s a child.
I understand what that’s like. My father barely let me come to college, at all. As it is, I’m two years behind most everyone else in our year. Twenty to their barely eighteen. And maybe, I did go a little bit wild those first few weeks of school.
I think I deserve a little bit of slack for living it up the first chance I got to be out from under his thumb. It sure was fun, too. ‘Til I caught the eye of the teaching assistant for my Chem 101 lab. Having a stalker definitely put a halt to enjoying my freedom at school.
At least, I don’t have to worry about Perry for the next three weeks. Rory swears his brother Evander’s place is safer than Fort Knox. And since my dad’s traveling to give my new stepmom a safari adventure, I can relax without his stifling attention, too.
Okay, maybe, relax is a stretch. I have zero chance of sleeping through the racket coming from Rory’s brother’s room. I thought Rory told me his brother was traveling for work and wouldn’t be here for at least a week. Mentally, I map the layout of the house. We got here earlier this evening, but I’m pretty sure I remember a home gym and rec room with an enormous couch and movie screen set up on the other side of the kitchen and dining room.
I bet the snoring wouldn’t be nearly so loud on the other side of the house. Recessed lighting along the baseboards in the hallway lead the way while heated floors keep my toes nice and warm as I navigate the darkness. This house is truly as luxurious as Rory promised.
In the recreation room, the couch is every bit as deep and plush as I remembered from the quick tour Rory gave me. It’s also far enough from the bedrooms for it to be nice and quiet. Wrapping the blanket I stole from the bed around me, I climb onto the couch and curl up at one end.
The last thought I have before sleep finally claims me is, it’s no wonder Rory’s brother treats him like a little kid. As humongous as everything in this house is, Rory probably looks like a small child just sitting in a chair. I certainly feel more petite than I can remember ever feeling.
ChapterTwo
EVANDER ALLARD
I havea woman in my bed, and I have no idea who she is. Alright, that’s a bit of an oversimplification. This girl didn’t intend to be in my bed, and despite the semi still twitching in my sweats from watching her sleep, nothing sexual has happened. Yet.
Yeah, I’m well aware she came into the house with my kid brother. My alarm system notified me of her presence as an additional heat signature as soon as they came through the door. Once I got a look at the security cams and watched Rory leading her around my home, the urge to hustle along the last leg of my business trip was magnified by a million.
If I could have made the Allard jet fly faster, I would have. As it was, we didn’t land until hours after the pair of them had gone into his room for bed. His bedroom is one of the few places in the house where Idon’thave cameras. So as much as I need to know whether the two of them are together, I can’t be sure.
I really, truly hope they aren’t because as much as I love him, this girl belongs to me. One look at her heart-shaped face with its pointy little chin and button nose, and I was a goner. Through the monitor, I watched her smile at my brother, those obscenely lush lips parting to reveal tiny white teeth in a perfect little row, and it no longer mattered that it was him she smiled at.
All I could think about was stretching that pillowy bow-shaped mouth around my cock and gagging her until tears stream down her face. Right there on the company jet, I’d had to shove myself into the commode and beat my meat for relief. I’m so enormous the door to the lavatory couldn’t close while I stood inside it, but I was too hard up to give a shit about privacy.
Every instinct demanded I storm in the house and rip her away from Rory. That in itself is a mindfuck, considering I’ve devoted my life to two things only. Protecting the Allard family’s security and safeguarding Rory’s future.
There’s a little voice in the back of my head insisting she can’t be that important to him. He’s never mentioned having feelings for someone in any of his classes. We talk at least a couple times a week, and I’d for damn sure remember if he mentioned caring enough about a girl to bring her to my house.
Do I feel any guilt for peeking into his room to spy on the two of them when I got home? No. I sure the fuck do not. In all truth, finding Rory asleep on top of the covers and the girl beneath them is probably the only thing that saved my sanity. I’d tried to go to sleep after that, figuring I’d wait until morning to lay claim to whoever she is.
But not even an hour had gone by when a buzz from the smartwatch on my wrist woke me. Motion sensors detected her movement through my home, and I found myself trailing behind her like a stray hound. I watched her tiny little fingers trail along my belongings as she moved through the house, stalking her into the theater room where she climbed onto my couch and immediately fell asleep. The whole process had my cock turning to painfully achy steel in my sweats.
“Who’re you?” Throaty and low, her voice is far more sultry than her bubblegum looks had prepared me for. There’s no fear, no panic at awakening in a different place than where she fell asleep. No worry that there’s a stranger watching her sleep.
“Ev Allard, Little Mouse. This is my house. My bed.” The only bed she’ll be sleeping in from now on. I don’t add that last part. It might freak her out.
“But I thought… Isn’t this Rory Clune’s brother’s house?” A tiny line of concern wrinkles above her nose in the space between two dark sable eyebrows that arch in confusion.
“It is. Clune was the name our parents gave us. Allard is the name I earned.” It’ll be the name I give our children, once I’ve bred her, but I also leave out that part. Wariness creeps into her expression, and I know I need to set her mind at ease, even if she isn’t ready to understand she belongs to me now.
