Accidental Bonds (Elemental Bonds, #1)

He didn’t want to contemplate what it said about his love life that someone’s lack of interest was rapidly developing into a turn-on.

“I need you to mark your territory.”

“With all due respect, Victor. Alpha. If you bounce your leg another goddamn time, I will not be responsible for my actions. Actions that I will carry out with love and respect.”

“Aren’t you supposed to show respect and deference to your alpha?”

“Sorry, you’re right, Alpha. We’d like to kindly request you consider taking an extended stroll around your vast, beautiful territory this evening. It’s a lovely night for a run.”

🤣🤣🤣

“Speaking of your wife, I picked up a bag of those maple bacon chips she’s been craving. But if I have to go for a run, maybe I’ll see if the kids want them.” Will gave him a once-over. “Huh, would you look at that? I’ve never seen someone who has so clearly been thoroughly fucked in my life. Dozens of orgasms just written all over your face.” “How is having you on my side worse than when you’re on Kade’s?”

“I’ll leave you to get yourself prepped for Victor,” Kade said. “He’ll come for you whenever you want him to.”

And he was right back to realizing the sad state of his love life when someone’s disinterest in him was a virtue.

“Elijah,” he said with a shit-eating grin. “After the way you went at it last night, I thought you and Victor would want to stay in bed for the rest of the day.”

“Where is he? I should speak to him before I go.” “He’s not up yet. Seems like you wore him out last night. But don’t worry, he’ll be up for you again soon.”

When he’d woken, his wolf was entirely too smug with the knowledge that Elijah was still there, in their territory, waiting for them.

“Lady of Dread and Slaughter, Lady of the East, Female Devourer, Mistress of the Oracle,”

Do you know what you smell like?” “Magic?” “Beneath that.” “More magic?” “Earth and snow.”

“Do you know what Victor smells like?” Kade asked so softly Elijah almost didn’t hear him.

“Pine, yes, and the night on a full moon.”

“You’re dangerously close to smiling right now. It’s pretty disgusting. I can’t even look at you.”

She’d also been insistent that it was for Victor’s mage, but Elijah didn’t need to know that.

It shouldn’t have been so simple and effortless to lean in, to bury his nose in the crook of Elijah’s neck as his hands found Elijah’s waist. But it was.

“So Miles wins the most obnoxious friends competition?” “Hands down. He’s got a pervert, a worrier, and me.” “I still might consider trading with him. I’ve got a pervert, a meddler, and a sadist.” “That does sum up Kade nicely. What about the other two?”

🤣🤣🤣

Elijah needing his come woke every primal, untamed instinct inside him.

“Come for me,” Victor growled in his ear. “Come on my knot.”

“Hey now, let him be the badass, stoic alpha to impress his mage.” Lauren said from his other side. “We aren’t helping him walk. We’re huddling under the protection of his strong, manly arms.”

“Our,” Victor said in a low, sleepy rumble. “What?” “You said your. They aren’t just my pack. It’s not just my bed. Not anymore.”

This was all he’d ever wanted. He’d just needed to let himself have it.
