Highest ranking #2 in werewolf #1 in Completed #1 in Featured ©MadnessReverie ********* I lean my body against his, carefully brushing my lips against his ear. "What's your name?" I whisper before nipping his earlobe once. "Colton" it sounded more like a groan and I smiled internally. I put my knees on either side of his legs and straddle him, wrapping my arms around his neck, careful not to actually rub against him. "Colton, I like it" I moaned softly before biting my lower lip again. I can tell his hands are itching to touch me, but he knows he's not allowed. His eyes are dark with lust and something else I can't quite place. "Say my name again, Kitten" ********* Thrust into what she thought was a mythical world of wolves and mates, Avery's journey is anything but typical. Can she learn to love what she didn't dare to dream actually existed? Can he accept the baggage that comes with her? I don't own any of the pictures I use. Most of them I found on Google. The story is mine though so please don't steal it.

Sneak a peak: ~I hear a chuckle, "so stupid, did you really think trying hard enough would actually work? " I feel like slapping this asshole who ever this is straight up his face and to tell him, that yes I thought it would. Sadly it didn't but I tried. But saying all that or even a word took so much effort that I had to use it wisely, very tiredly but with sheer will I asked "What do you want with me?" I was proud of myself to say the least, I didn't think I'd be able to say such a long sentence at once, but I guess I'm not that weak huh. I hear a laughter that sounds as evil as the devil. Who am I kidding damn it, it's so damn hot that if this wasn't the situation my ears probably be getting pregnant from hearing this, I have a feeling I know this person but I just can't remember. I hear another chuckle which takes me out of my own world, " Even in this situation you can not pay attention huh?" He laughs again. I ask very with great difficulty," Will you tell me or what?" He keeps silent, for a moment I think he is gone but there was no other noise so I know he is still there, suddenly I feel a hand touching my cheeks, "If I say, I don't want anything from you that would be a lie, but you're mine so everything of yours is mine as well. So to answer your question I don't want anything from you, I'm just taking what's mine. " Hearing him calling me his didn't sit well with me but my heart definitely skipped a beat there.~ Life's everything anyone can ever want but what happens when a certain someone comes to collect a debt you never owed and while in the mess comes love cause you meet love at the most unexpected time and fall for the most unexpected person.
