A Forever Series Box Set: A Paranormal Reverse Harem-(Book 1-5)

“Tell me how to fix it,” I tell him quietly.

He pounces. “One day. One day a week where you are just mine.”

So, he’s clearly been sitting on that for a while.

CK clears his throat and I chew my lip doing a quick mental check. Friday to Monday is for Cole, Tuesday and Wednesday for CK, Thursday for Lincoln before Canada. Christ, he’s right, I don’t make time for him. “Fridays,” I say quickly. Cole will suffer but he still gets me three days. Fuck, this is hard. And only getting more complicated. How did Cole put it? Days of the Week underwear? Now, I have Days of the Week men. Jesus. Why can’t we all just shack up together and be done with it already?

I’m about to mention it but Devon joyfully says,“Done.” The moment passes as his eyes flick to CK who is looking, to my surprise, somewhat relieved that I didn’t take away one of his days. Even though he has taken away his threat to separate me from Cole, there is still the original threat of him fighting for me and I don’t doubt he will do it if I push him. But he still seems to think that I will let him down. Fool.

“All that you just said. Shouldn’t the same apply to you?” Devon asks him.

CK smiles that smile at me and takes my chin in his hand and says, “Oh no. I am completely, one hundred percent in love with every part of her. Aefre, Elizabeth, Liv. Every Shift in between and in the future, I will love without fail.” He kisses me lightly and Devon grumbles, “Geez, get a room.”

“So, you are coming home?” I ask him.

“Yes, I will come home.”

“What about this Jess?” I ask.

He shrugs. “I’ll handle it, just give me time and don’t stick your nose in. I don’t need you to swoop in a fix anything. I’ve got it, okay.”

“Now you have me worried,” I say, chewing my lip.

“Leave the boy to deal with whatever it is, Aefre,” CK murmurs, squeezing my hand.

“You know that’s not in my nature,” I point out.

“I have missed you so much,” Devon blurts out. “I wasn’t angry with you earlier. It was the situation.”

“Oh. Good,” I say. “I have missed you too. Please let me help.” Even if it is just to get rid of her from Devon’s life, I’ll offer my services.

He huffs at me, so I drop it. “Well, I had better get back downstairs and tell Jess it’s probably best if she leaves. I’ll leave you two lovebirds to your…whatever it is you do other than fuck when you are alone together.”

“Bye, baby,” I say to him as he leans forward for a kiss and he leaves us two lovebirds to our…whatever.

CHAPTER ONE HUNDRED TWENTY-FIVE

“C K isn’t here,” I say to Sebastian as he walks into the suite, sometime later. I smile up at him and rub the back of my neck. “Getting better at that now.”

He grins back. “That’s sweet. You can recognize me now. We must be getting closer. What do I feel like to you?” He sits on the sofa next to me.

“Also, more of a fizz than a tingle.”

He chuckles. “I didn’t come here looking for him. I came looking for you,” he says.

I put down the magazine that I’m reading. “Oh? Why is that then?”

“I have this problem that only you can help me with.”

“And that would be?”

“Your blood is like a drug, Liv. I need more of it. I came here to feed,” he says bluntly.

“Excuse me? What does that mean? And you can’t just ask me like that. CK will freak if he finds out and you know that he will.”

“I will deal with our sire. I just want to taste you again.” He runs his finger down my neck. “You taste so good. Just one little bite,” he whispers.

I hesitate, wanting to comply, but conscious of everybody’s feelings over this. I relent, partly, and give him my wrist. He grins wickedly and takes my hand but instead of clamping down, he pulls me onto his lap, facing him.
