Stolas hissed as he lowered himself into the hot water. He sat down, watching as Candy brought her hand up to Annie’s cheek, guiding her to look up at her. She pressed her lips to Annie’s.Candy’s tongue moving along the seam of Annie’s lips as Candy brought her hands up, cupping Annie’s breasts.Annie let out a small gasp as Candy rolled her nipples between her thumb and forefingers. She could feel Candy smile against her lips as her tongue moved into her mouth. Caressing the roof of her mouth before skimming over her teeth, finally moving against her tongue. She jumped, feeling Stolas’ fingers moving over her hipbones. Tracing the curve before moving lower, his thumb moving over her clit with soft yet firm touches.Annie pulled away to look at him, “But Candy hasn’t-”“It’s okay,” Candy said, plucki
Annie let out a gasp as she brought her hand up to her mouth, her eyes wide.“She’s healing, slowly. I don’t know how she survived it.” Doc said as she finished hooking up the IV. Already Amelia’s skin was healing. Annie looked at the sinew man as he pushed his thick auburn hair over his shoulder. He stood beside her sister’s unconscious form. His eyes red-rimmed as his fingers hovered over her hand as if he were scared to touch her.“Drake know you’re here?” Doc asked and he looked up at her. “Or is that a question I should leave alone?”Sin didn’t say anything as he let out a shuddering breath.“He won’t hurt anyone here.” Stolas said, moving closer to his brethren.Doc looked at him, her eyebrows raised as she pressed her lips together. Nostrils
Candy moved to the door, pulling it open and stepping into the hallway. “Dev, wait up.”“Candy,” he said, turning to look back at her. His green eyes filled with worry. She wished that there was something she could do, some words she could give him that would ease his fear. If it were Annie she had to protect, she’d do the same. Candy didn’t think she’d ever need to protect Stolas, but if she had to, there was no doubt that she would protect him just as fiercely.“Wait to talk to Drake before you go.” She said, as she moved closer to them. Anna’s eyes were unseeing, and she worried about what had happened to the girl when she was with Nash to make her close off like that.“I don’t want to put the pack in danger, bringing the dragon elders here...” Dev paused, running a hand thro
“Sam, can you help me over to my sisters?” Abby asked Sam, batting her long lashes. Candy’s cheeks shook as she tried to hold in her laughter. She closed her eyes, tilting her head back as she regained her composure.Wrapping her arms around Annie’s waist, Candy rested her hands on Annie’s stomach. She felt the press of a foot or hand against her and she opened her eyes with a grin. She rested her head on Annie’s shoulder when she felt it. The pull of energy that was almost painful.Stolas let out a sigh of relief, his body relaxing as Annie pulled from Candy.“Yeah, babe.” Sam said as he moved to Abby’s side. Wrapping his arm around her waist as he helped her hop down from the table. Candy wanted to tell her to stay back, but she couldn’t find the words.Annie opened her eyes, watching as her siste
Candy was running through the woods on her normal morning run, her heart was beating fast as she leaped over a log and continued running. She could feel the sweat as it trickled down her back making her shirt stick to her damp skin, the sound of her breathing was the only thing she heard as the morning sunlight slowly filtered through the tree’s leaves. As she neared the back of the packhouse a smell hit her that had her mouth watering, her wolf was instantly on alert. The beast wanted her to follow that sweet tantalizing scent of orange slices dipped in chocolate. It reminded her of Christmas morning and the treats her Jiji would bring for her and her brother.She had always loved those chocolate covered orange slices the best, they were a taste of happy childhood memories.When she made her way up to the steps of the packhouse, she saw her. Well, she saw the back of her. She looked similar to Abby Eli’s mate, but the smell was co
‘Candy’ Annie thought to herself as she lay in bed looking up at the ceiling. Was it weird that she hadn’t minded when the woman had hugged her earlier?She wasn’t really the hugging type, Abby was the more affectionate of twin the two of them. The babies kicked in her stomach and Annie bit her lower lip. What was she supposed to do with a baby, let a lone two? It still didn’t feel real, even with all the morning sickness and the fluttering kicks.She hadn’t been able to believe that she was carrying Beau’s child until she had seen the ultrasound, two fetuses. Even then she hadn’t wanted to believe that she was pregnant, her sleeping with Beau had been her lashing out at Abby. Yes, she had thought she was in love with Beau.There was no denying that her childhood crush had deepened as they had gotten older.He hadn’t liked her though, well he had in private.In public it was Abby, it was always Abby
Annie sat up, rubbing the sleep from her eyes, the gentle knock soft and hesitant, pulling from her light slumber.“Can I come in?”The soft feminine voice asked, it was familiar and she nodded before realizing they couldn’t see her.“Yes,” Annie called out as she pushed herself up, trying to smooth out her hair.It was the woman from before, the one who had hugged her when she thought thatSam was about to send her away.The beautiful athletic women, her hair a messy ponytail of blue and pink strands.“I made you some tea.”She said with a smiled that made Annie’s heart do a flip.“Thank you, Candy.”She realized she liked saying her name as she scooted to the edge of the bed as Candy sat down holding out the steaming mug to her.“It’s no problem, I thought you might need something.”Candy blushed as her eyes shyly met Annie's.Her fingers brushed
Stolas focused on the winding road in front of him as he navigated Eli’s van in the fading sunlight.His mind going to the pretty werewolf and Abby’s twin, he tried not to listen to the softly spoken conversation going on behind him.It was next to impossible to not hear Owen and Eli talking.“I feel like I do with Abby.”Eli said and Stolas peeked into the review mirror at the wolf.“What did you do?”“The demonmarked you, claimed you as one of mine.”“Is it like a mate bond?”Eli asked as he sat across from Owen, his back pressed against the door of the band.Fingers picking at a drum case as he tried to focus on anything but the man that he now felt drawn to.“Yes and no, it will fade over time if I don’t feed from you again.”Stolas tried to tear his attention away from the conversation once again, thinking about what Sam had said.
