His back muscles flex every time he flips another fluffy pancake. "Come here darling" He says, somehow not having to even turn around to know it's me. I happily walk over to him, standing behind him so that I can run my hands along his toned back. I hear the sound of the oven turning off before he turns to face me. Elias buries his head into my neck to leave small kisses while his arms wrap around my waist. As I'm enjoying the peaceful embrace of Elias and his mouth on my skin, the unexpected, cold, harsh slap to my ass has me inhaling sharply and wincing into Elias' shoulder. "Ares!" Elias sharply scolds the now chuckling man behind me. "Sorry baby" Ares whispers in my ear as he rubs the now sore spot he slapped. I turn my head so I can sneak a quick kiss from him which he happily accepts, deepening it a little before pulling away and snatching a pancake off the pan which earns a few curses from Elias. Ares let's me have a bite first before running off so Elias doesn't beat his ass.

β€’ An assassin and her protectors β€’ *This book is a reverse harem, dark romance. It is the first book in The Lost and Found Series, but can be read as a standalone. HEA guaranteed.* *VERY SLOW UPDATES* ------------❦------------- Lorelei Pheonix has grown up with the knowledge of two things. One, never go into a job blind. And two, never, under any circumstances, show your weaknesses. We all have them, but if someone finds them, you're as good as dead. In boxing, they say it's the punch you don't see coming that knocks you out. Even the greatest, most feared assassin family couldn't predict the death of Celeste Phoenix, Lorelei's mother, and they sure as hell couldn't foresee it being a targeted hit. With her life crumbling down around her, the only thing she craves is revenge. But her father has other ideas, like shipping her off to a safe house. For the first time in her life, she goes into something completely in the dark. Because for some reason, unbeknownst to her, Lorelei's father has sent her to live in the very secluded, very guarded mansion of their family's biggest rivals. Wren Ledger, Hunter Oxborn, Kenzo Armani, and Cyrus Pierce, the four men with a bond thicker then blood, and the four men Lorelei loathes with a burning passion. From the beginning, they make it clear that her arrival is horribly unwelcome, something they had no choice in. And she gives the hatred back just the same, if not more. But with sultry smiles, alluring presences, and mouths as fiery as hers, the temptation starts to rise. She's not backing down until she finds and extinguishes her mother's killer, but this mission is going to be the hardest she's ever had to take on. It's a damn good thing Lorelei loves a challenge. ------------❦------------- *Unedited* [CONTENT WARNING: This book contains strong adult themes. A full list of trigger warnings can be found in the author's note. Please be advised.]

"Tell me, little one, how do you want us?" Darien whispered darkly, peppering kisses down my neck. I felt my body being pulled back flush against Lucas'. He breathed into my ear, his voice sending shivers down my spine. "Luna, why aren't you speaking?" His teeth grazed my earlobe, eliciting a soft moan from me. "What's got your tongue twisted?" "Wait," I breathed out, trying to gather my thoughts. Darien paused his actions to look at me, a hint of frustration in his gaze. "Should I call you Elise then, your new name?" "I like both," Lucas chimed in, his smile sending a thrill through me. "No," I whimpered as Darien continued to trail kisses along my skin. "Then what is it?" Darien asked, his voice tinged with impatience. "We aren't in bed," I managed to say, my voice trembling. Lucas chuckled darkly behind me, his breath hot against my skin. "You don't have to worry about that, darling Elise." "You have the both of us to keep you warm all night long," Darien added, his lips trailing towards my belly. "But..." I began, feeling overwhelmed by their closeness. Lucas turned my head towards him and kissed me passionately, leaving me with no room for argument. Lost in their embrace, I couldn't help but feel like I had known them forever, like we were destined to be together. I should have escaped earlier when I had the chance. However, even if I wanted to, I can't. ~~~~~ πŸ’˜ ~~~~~ "𝕴'𝖒 𝖓𝖔𝖙 π–†π–‹π–—π–†π–Žπ–‰ 𝖙𝖔 π–‹π–†π–ˆπ–Š π–†π–“π–žπ–™π–π–Žπ–“π–Œ π–œπ–Žπ–™π– π–žπ–”π–š.
