The Cub Club (6 page)

Everyone sipped their drinks and congratulations were given to the soon-to-be parents.

“So when are the two of you going to give us a grandchild?” Angela asked Lacy and Ethan from her perch on her husband’s lap.

“I think we can work on that,” Lacy replied, giving Ethan a heated look.

He responded by pulling her down for a passionate kiss. “I’ll just handcuff her to the bed until things are settled,” he teased.

“I can
definitely
handle that.”

Another round of cheers and catcalls went up as the party continued.

“Are those Eva’s sugar cookies I smell?” Erik sniffed loudly and rose to head into the kitchen licking his lips.

“Stay out of my cookies!” Adam shouted, taking off after him. The crash that came shortly after had both Eva and Sarah shaking their heads. It seemed the battle was on, but Eva decided she would just wait until she told them there was a batch for everyone.

The Wolfe family was a rowdy bunch, but they were loyal to each other no matter what, and the strength of their love was something that ensured they would always remain close to each other.

Well, as long as cookies weren’t involved.

by Valerie Twombly

Without understanding why, he asks to take the slave as his own, but soon realizes his longing is more than an attraction to a beautiful woman.

Lileta wanted to kill Caleb, but when she is freed by this tempting male, her anger turns to a desire that can only prove fatal. Even if she could claim him as her own, her dark past makes her unworthy of his love.

When their paths continue to intertwine, spiraling them to the brink of passion, can they resist the yearnings burning within them, or will they submit to their fatal desire?

After all, she’s one hundred and ten years old, a woman of the world.

Nicholas Kyrillos just wants a quiet, peaceful retreat where he can rest and contemplate something other than dodging hunters who want to nuke him. He has few rules, chief among them, no women. With a daily supply of blood from a medical house, he plans to walk the shoreline and read all the literary classics he’s missed the past century or so. He never reckoned on a rogue vampire, who’s picking off unsuspecting tourists as his personal smorgasbord, or on a gung-ho, fresh-faced vampire hunter who’s unrelenting in everything she pursues, especially when she’s spent the night in his bed. Where’s the peace now?

This situation poses a big problem for the brothers… Their location is now compromised. But more importantly, what are they to do with the lady?
