shaft of possessive lust through him. He wanted their relationship to be like it was all those years ago.
    “Okay.”
    Her voice was nervous, hesitant even, but he smelled the underlying arousal it was laced with. His cock gave a mighty jerk, and he swerved slightly on the road. She gripped the armrest and glanced over at him questioningly. He gave her a smile that was completely forced, thankful the cab was dark enough that she couldn’t see exactly what she did to him.
    He turned left onto Pine Hill Road and took the steep incline with a little more gas. When he had thought it was best to leave Kayla, he didn’t have the strength to actually leave Stone Brooke. Instead, he thought he could find the solitude that would placate her brother, but also the closeness of being nearby her. So, he opted to buy property in the thick forest and then built his home, a home he had pictured Kayla living in with him.
    As the trip waned on, they didn’t speak. He turned off of Hampton Road, made a few more quick turns, and finally slowed as he pulled up to his modest-sized cabin. Towering pines and blue spruces surrounded his home and gave him privacy as well as a sense of freedom. Another hour and a half up the road, and he would be entering Lyken territory, something that was forbidden to the Blood Breed.
     
     

When the Lykens first moved to Stone Brooke, the Blood Breeds already resided in the small country town. The Lykens sought permission for property high in the mountains to raise their families and seek protection. Aleksei had given them hundreds of acres of property to claim as their own, and the two species had then formed a truce between each other. Part of that treaty was that they would not venture onto each other’s territory. Animalistic and primal as it may seem, it worked for them.
    Lykens and Blood Breeds weren’t enemies, per se. They both disliked certain beings, and therefore made perfect allies. When the Lykens needed Breed assistance, they got it, and vice versa. It was a comfortable alliance that would prove strong if the time ever came.
    Adrik turned off the vehicle, and they both sat there in silence before she turned and looked at him. “Your home is beautiful.”
    “Thank you. I built it myself.” He felt the need to gloat a bit, to impress her with his talent. Her expression showed he had been right—she was impressed. His chest grew a bit bigger.
    His gaze immediately went to her full pink lips, ones that looked so soft and inviting they made his cock demand to be free. He could imagine those lips wrapped around his shaft, her creamy cheeks hollowing out as he slid his length in and out. Clearing his throat, he got out of the car, needing some fresh air.
    He helped her from the vehicle, the night surrounding them like a thick blanket. He could see perfectly, but knew she had a harder time.
    “I can hardly see anything.”
    “Don’t worry, your eyes will adjust.” He wrapped his arm around her shoulders and led her to the front door.
    “I can’t believe you built this. I didn’t even know you had this kind of talent.”
    If it hadn’t been so dark, Adrik’s blush would have surely shown. As it was, he was thankful she couldn’t see his reaction. He was a warrior, after all, and warriors didn’t blush.
    When he opened the front door and turned on the light, Kayla was struck with awe at his home. He shut the door, took his jacket off, and unbuttoned the first notch in his shirt.
    Kayla walked around the living room, stopping and looking at each framed photo. It felt right to be here, amongst his things, and that made her uneasy on some level.
     
     

     
     
     
    Kayla scanned each photo, not stopping the smile that covered her lips. The place was incredible. The interior was spacious, with natural hardwood floors, polished marble, and stainless steel appliances. A small spiral staircase was off to the side, leading up to a loft. The whole upper level was visible, the glossed wood banister
