Free Dark Awakening by T. A. Grey Page B

you." She giggled, the sound high-pitched and scary, then slipped out of the café .
    "At least your taste in women has improved," Gerome joked. Alison turned away from Rome. She couldn't stand the hard look he was giving her. She didn't want to know what he was thinking about, or what it looked like he wanted to say.
    "Let's just go home," Alison said, her voice weary and tired.
     

Chapter 1 1
     
     
    The car ride home was silent and awkward. How she managed to home with Rome in his black SUV and not with Sarina and the guards had her crossed arms squeezing tight across her middle. The bastard seemed to think he had some right to her.
    As for Sarina? Well, she was a traitor. She winked at Rome and practically shoved her towards his car after she locked up the café .
    Too many negative emotions were swirling in her, furling together to put her in one hell of a mood . Anger, jealousy, possession, fear. And one tall woman se t all that into motion. At the moment , jealous y was seething at the top of the list.
    To know that Sandra touched Rome's skin, felt his breath along her body, his hands on her skin, his beautiful cock thrusting inside her. It was enough to have her hands curling into fists. God she wanted to punch her way through the window and make a break for the trees in the distance. Anything to burn off this coiling heat.
    It was he who broke the silence. "I'm sorry about that. She and I have been over for weeks, it was never anything serious anyways." She watched his jaw clench from the corner of her eye. He looked like he had more to say but was biting back the words.
    Alison had questions burning like hot acid in her mind. She closed her eyes and turned away, counting back from ten over and over . She'd always had this bad habit of asking stupid questions. Questions that lead to answers she almost never liked. She opened her eyes to see they were nearing Kategan territory.
    "How long were you with her?" Old habits die hard . Shit.
    His shoulders bunched . "Two months." So many emotions she felt from just those two words. But she didn't want to think about that right now, so she pushed it away. Even as she knew she had zero right asking such questions, another came out. It was like pushing a slinky down the stairs, once it started it just kept going.
    "What did you like about her?" She wanted to add that she didn’t think it was her charming personality , but then again she apparently had some charm somewhere. Alison was banking it was in the boobs.
    He cut a hard glance at her. "I really don't want to talk about her." The hard muscle of his forearm curved and twisted as he squeezed the steering wheel.
    Alison bit her tongue to keep from asking any more, or giving anything else away. Afraid she'd already done too much. She made herself shrug and toss him a no problem smile.
    Inside she was dying. She was relieved when they pulled into the large compound that was Kategan territory. The sentinel guards at the front gate waved them on at the sight of familiar pack faces.
    By the time they pulled in front of Rome's cabin, she was nearly suffocating from the thick silence in the car. When he stopped the car, s he bounded out and was practically running back to the guest cabin, keys in hand. She had only a moment to register the hot, male presence behind her before she was pressed forward against the wooden cabin door. Her cheek and front from breast to thigh pressed into the wood .
    Anger and pleasure engulfed her. A tingling butterfly sensation danced in her womb, spread throughout her body at the dominate gesture. A hand found the nape of her nec k, hips kept her locked tight against the door . He pushed the hair away from her neck and then teeth found her neck and bit down .
    She cried out, husky and soft . Her hips pushed back against his hardness.
    His arm pressed bold, possessive caresses down her spine, over her hips. It made her breath catch . Hot lips and then the wet press of tongue circled the n bit he r
