Part 2 – Chapter 38
I knew almost from the beginning that Kayla was it for me. Those eyes, you know? So pretty, but so sad. It would take a while to find out what she was so sad about. By then, I’d told her about my father, about how abusive he was. About what I did to protect my mother from his violent rages. About how I’d spent time in prison for it. The judge was lenient because I was underage. My mother’s testimony helped, too, as did all the other witnesses the defense called to prove we were living in…-

Ch12. Room
Odessa I screamed. I shouted rather loudly, causing Fluffy and Creed to look at me with uneasiness. Creed ran over to me, covered in blood spatter from the cute animal. I should have seen it coming; I mean, he clicked his tongue, and Fluffy went and caught dinner. My breathing was ragged, but I waved my hand in the air. "I'm fine, really; I wasn't expecting it." Part of me was, but I let it go. Creed looked back over to the animal; the head was lying in a bucket while the blood drained. I've…-

Ch21. Come Home
Creed The rest of the crowd had dispersed. Adam glared down at me with such blackness in his eyes, it made me wonder how he was ever a product of our mother. Standing up, I watched his fleeting back going to the back of the stage and open the leather tarp cover the entry. Amora's steps graced toward me only to have Adam hold her wrist. "I need to speak with my... half-brother," he spat. "Meet me at home and I have a surprise for you." Adam's words held such love, Amora could only glance between the…-

Ch2. Found
Creed The night's previous storm brought good omens. Fresh rain washed the trails giving new smells for fresh game. Despite the dark cave where Razak and I dwell, I knew exactly when the light sources would hit the sky. The double light hits the cave at just dawn giving the temperature a few degrees increase. My dragon was to thank for his stubborn temperature fascination. Clearing my throat, I grabbed the jug of fresh rainwater that had dripped in the night. It was cool, refreshing, and welcomed.…-

Part 1 – Chapter 27
We lie entangled on the forest floor, breathing hard, but otherwise silent. Then he groans and drops his face to my neck, hiding his eyes. Staring up at the endless blue sky, I wrap my arms around his shoulders, knowing instinctively that this time, he’s the one falling apart. “It’s okay,” I whisper hoarsely, dazed. “Aidan, it’s okay.” He makes a muffled sound of pain. “Shh.” I softly kiss the side of his face and thread my fingers into his hair. He’s heavy and hot on top…-

Part 1 – Chapter 14
We eat breakfast at his place, then he follows me back home in his truck. When we get to the house, he insists on going inside and checking everything out before letting me in. “Better safe than sorry,” he says, leaning in the open driver’s-side window of my car. “Keys?” I hand them to him. “I don’t know if I locked it, though. I ran out in a pretty big hurry.” He nods, then straightens and walks up the path to the front door. Watching him standing there trying the handle, I…-

Part 2 – Chapter 39
Four months ago As I sit at the kitchen table staring at my wedding ring in the palm of my hand, I sift through all the memories of my marriage to Michael, both good and bad, until I realize that the reason I haven’t taken off this ring before now is very simple. I’ve been honoring the dead. My dead child. My dead marriage. My dead hopes for the future that included them both. All the things I once cherished are gone. Now, the only way I can think of to move on from the past is to do…-
