Chapter 18
Isabella shivered as Jeremy ran a hand down over her thighs. She was nude, spread wide before him, but he was still fully clothed. His gaze blazed a trail of heat
through her as he admired her. As if she were a breathtaking sight down there. And the lights were still on…
He could see every detail of her in full color. It should have mortified her, but she couldn’t bring herself to look away. He seemed entranced by her, as if she were a moving work of art meant for him to touch, feel, taste. The surge of power that thrummed through her in response was addictive. He was going slowly, which she knew was solely for her pleasure; she’d felt how ready he was. He idly ran his fingers between the lips of her pussy. The movement was so casual yet intimate that she felt the build of arousal rising in her chest again. He touched her as if she were his, as if there were no restrictions between them and he found pleasure in every part of her.

“What?” Isabella’s eyes grew wide, and she surged forward against the ties.Jeremy had no doubt that if she’d been untied, she would have throttled him. It took every ounce of his strength and control to move this slowly, to ease her into it, but he needed this to be good for her. He wanted to take her rough and hard right now, pumping into her until the bed frame banged against the wall, but this was about her, not him.“That’s so unfair,” she breathed. Her hazel eyes narrowed into a glare as she shook her head at him. “You have to realize I have a hard time talking about… about that.”That was the whole point. Isabella needed to push her boundaries. He’d seen that in her from the very first time they’d met in the clearing. She didn’t care much for rules, especially the ones he set. It was what had drawn him to her from the start.But when it came to her sexuality, she was tim

Jeremy stepped out onto the cabin’s wraparound porch, easing the door closed behind him. The silhouettes of the pine trees cast dark shadows over the shimmering white snow, promising an unknown world within their depths. The forest wasn’t the only unknown laid out before him. His mind drifted to the sight of Isabella lying naked on his bed, her legs tangled in the sheets and a look of pure, sated bliss on her face. It’d taken everything in him to walk out of the cabin and leave her to her own devices.But he needed to clear his head—and fast. He’d never had any trouble walking away after sex, but as he’d retreated out to the silence of the cold night, he’d had to fight to put one foot in front of the other. That’d never been a problem before. His break post-sex was ritualistic in nature, putting distance between him and whatever partner he happened to be with. It was the way it’d always been for him, even back before he&rs

If Jeremy died here tonight, it wouldn’t be in vain. He couldn’t remember the last time they had given him water, and his limbs ached with dehydration. Nausea churned his stomach. Metal clanged against metal as he rattled the chains that held him in place. It had become a game of sorts, a reminder to his enemy that he’d yet to give up.Not even with the tip of the vampire’s silver blade shoved against his windpipe.“I’ll ask you one more time, Commander.” The deep voice echoed against the steel walls. His enemy eased the blade ever closer to Jeremy’s jugular. “Will you surrender to me?”It was the game they played. The sick fuck favored slow, sadistic methods intended to break a wolf.Jeremy wasn’t any wolf.Summoning the last bit of fight left in him, Jeremy closed his eyes, leaning into the searing pain of the blade without fear. In the freezing air of the dungeon, even with his body b

“Put your foot on the gas pedal, Isabella. That’s all you have to do.”Isabella muttered the words to herself while she idled at the side of the road in her old beater pickup truck. Silence from the empty cab answered, and the warmth of her breath swirled around her face as she exhaled. She glanced down at her cold knuckles turning white against her tightened grip on the steering wheel. The air in the cab chilled her despite her heavy Carhartt. With the dampness of the melting snow in the air as spring arrived and the old truck’s heater broken yet again, it was colder than any born-and-bred Florida girl should ever have to endure. Springtime in Montana was never kind as far as she was concerned.And neither were those butterflies buzzing in her stomach.Her grip tightened further. It was now or never. She needed to know that he was alive, and she needed to tell him. She pulled out the burner phone she’d purchased and lit up the scre

Feral, male, and unforgiving, Maverick Grey was every bit as formidable as legend and legacy painted him to be. Isabella knew this from the moment the massive wolf stepped into his office. Her breath staggered at the power that rolled off him, filling the room with such thick masculine virility, she could have choked on it. But it was his eyes that were truly haunting, giving a glimpse of unspeakable violence, both seen and lived. The eyes of a warrior.Only one other pair of eyes had ever chilled her so before.His gaze fell to where Isabella knelt on the floor, or really, where she’d been tossed by his guards. A small scar slashed through his left eyebrow, drawing attention to the pale green of the iris. From a knife wound, she guessed from the smooth nature of the scarring. A claw, talon, or other lethal instrument would have left something more jagged.The guard who’d handcuffed her spoke first. “Packmaster, she drove onto the ranch without

Jeremy carried his fair share of ghosts. Each night, the silence and darkness of hisown mind broke down the careful barriers he’d erected, laying siege until each morning he awakened drenched in sweat. The reassurance that he would always wake, unharmed though haunted, kept him sane. Knowing his ghosts could only reach him in the vulnerability of his sleep provided him with a waking refuge. He held no such reassurance now. Because this ghost was all too real.And apparently, he’d be carrying this particular ghost literally, since she was crumpling to the floor before his eyes.Shit.Jeremy dove for Isabella, catching her midfall. Sweeping her into his arms, he cradled her against him. As soon he did, she startled, grabbing on to him as she came to as quickly as she’d fallen.“I’m okay. I’m okay,” she rasped. Immediately, she tried to ease away from him. “I can stand on my own,” she protested.
Command of the Wolf Chapter 25
The pain in Jeremy’s eyes tore Isabella in two, making her question all the truths he left unspoken, but what he had said vibrated through her, awakening her reasonlike a tuning fork. She couldn’t tell this cowboy she was pregnant with his child. Not when he viewed her as an outsider, thought so little of her, all because she’d been born a Rogue.I thought you were different. She wanted to scream it at him from the mountaintops.A familiar ache filled her whenever she looked at him now—a deep-seated longing. It started in her chest and resonated down to the heavy feeling in her womb. He was right, though she’d never admit it. Choosing to have a child might not have been a mindful decision, but she’d always wanted a family, children, and a partner to call her own and a pack to belong to, but as a Rogue, she’d never have those things, not even with this wild, feral Grey Wolf who made her feel things she hadn’t known s

Isabella rested on Jeremy’s couch, fuming for what felt like hours. With each passing minute, her frustration with her current situation mounted. Why had she ever thought it would be a good idea to come here? It had been an ill-planned choice.Like some other ill-planned choices. Her hand drifted to her belly.No use crying over spilled milk now. There wasn’t much she could do about the pregnancy other than take care of herself, because she had no intention of ending it. This was her chance to have a family of her own—with or without Jeremy.She leaned into the sofa cushions with a sigh.He’d changed. The man who had shown her mercy on the mountainside was no more, or at least he was buried deeper under the hardened exterior of a cowboy turned warrior. But how could he not be? After what they’d done to him.I did die. Twice. His words tore through her.She shuddered at the thought.The door to his apartme
