You Wouldn't Dare (Khaos Trilogy Book 1), стр. 54
“Alpha?”
“I can’t talk, I’m afraid. I have a bad, bad girl in my arms,” he called out, jogging down the hallway. The wolf stared at us open-mouthed. I gave him a brief wave as I squealed again, my stomach hurting from laughing. I loved, loved, loved seeing Khaos this playful.
He threw me down on the bed, my tits bouncing with the force of it. He had barely gotten both knees on the mattress to join me when I threw myself into his waiting arms, wrapping my legs around him.
“This day has been perfect,” I whispered, grinning from ear to ear.
“Why, Violet, I never had you pegged as the soppy kind,” he teased.
“Shut up and kiss me.”
I laid against Khaos’ chest, feeling his deep, even breathing.
Goddess knew I loved having sex with this man, but it was moments like this, curled up to his side, safe in the circle of his arms, that I craved the most.
It was the intimacy, the trust he placed in me. I was the only woman ever permitted to hold him like this, no one else was privy to his secrets like I was. He trusted me beyond anything.
I would treasure these memories forever.
I placed a kiss on his warm skin, and he pulled me in tighter, protecting me even in sleep.
I knew then that I was in real danger of falling in love with this man.
Khaos
I sat up and I stared at Violet as she slept, watching the slow rise and fall of her chest, mumbling something in her sleep.
Pushing the hair back from her face, I was once again amazed by the beauty of her. She looked so young and vulnerable; her face perfectly capturing an innocence that was as refreshing as it was appealing. There were no tricks with her.
She liked to pretend that she was this fearless creature, bravely trying to slap me down with every argument we had, but I could see the truth. In many ways, she was as lost as I was, struggling to find her place in this world.
I didn’t understand what I had done to deserve a mate like her, but from this moment on I will do anything in my power to fight the darkness that threatens to destroy me. I would be the man she needed, the man she wanted.
Even in sleep she sought me out, her arm stretching over the bed to find me. She frowned, finding only a blank space, and opened her eyes sleepily.
“I’m here, little one,” I said, placing her hand flat against my chest so she could feel the steady heartbeat beneath her fingers. She closed her eyes once more, and I took that as my cue to lay back down beside her, tucking her close into my side and settled down to sleep.
For the first time in a long time, the nightmares that plagued me stayed at bay. Instead, I was blessed with amazing dreams of a golden wolf that shimmered like a diamond in the sun.
Violet
The sunlight streamed through the curtains, warming the room as I woke.
I reached out for Khaos, as I had done many times throughout the night. I was shocked when my arms hit an empty, cold space instead of the body I had become so familiar with.
I sat up quickly, still not completely sure of this relationship or the trust I had in us to make it work, my mind automatically thinking the worst. I wanted to believe in everything that he told me, but I knew how quickly his mood could change.
To say I was relieved when I saw the note folded on the pillow was an understatement.
Had some pack business to attend to.
Will be gone for a few hours.
Stay out of trouble,
Khaos.
I smiled thinking how very... Khaos, the note was. Straight and to the point. He wouldn’t waste time with mushy words and declarations of missing me, but I saw what he left unsaid.
He was placing his trust in me. Only mere days ago he had threatened to never let me out of his sight, and yet here we are. It must have taken a lot on his part to willingly leave me, no doubt he had the same hesitations about our relationship as I did.
Not that I had any idea how to occupy myself though, I didn’t know the routine of the pack well enough to plan on joining them with their day to day activities. And I was too much of a chicken to go out exploring in case I came across any of the warriors without having people around to protect me. Although, Khaos probably took the warriors with him if he’s left the pack grounds, right? Or at least most of them, according to Jasmine.
Thinking of her had me jumping up, seeing her as my beacon of hope. She was my only friend here so far, and I was willing to bet that she wouldn’t mind showing me around the pack and introducing me to a few new people.
I was moments away from leaving, finding Jasmine, and having her entertain me until Khaos returned when I felt a pressure in my head that brought me to my knees.
What the fuck was that?
I massaged my temples as the pressure increased, feeling as though something was trying to force its way in.
“Violet,” I heard whispered over the mind-link, although it was choppy and distorted.
“Can you... me?”
I forced myself to relax, waiting for the next message to come through. If I fought against it, I would be stuck with this pain for the rest of the day. I laid back down on the bed, closing my eyes
