Ronnie's girlfriend asks a split second before some dude in a trench coat is getting up close and personal with my face.“Miss Charell?” he asks, very polite. He's got a nice accent too, but his breath stinks like bullshit. I'm used to pushy guys like this from the club. What I'm not used to is a ...
I told Nathaniel as we pulled out of the parking lot and started heading south on 'A' Street. Rhea turned around at my words and tried to look out the back window. “Who?” she asked as I tried to swallow my anger and put on a fake smile. “Just Joel,” I said, trying to lighten the situation. “I bet...
The windows in the back all have giant dicks drawn on them. I swipe them away with my hand and smoke a cig, hoping that Milo's still feeling sorry enough for me that he won't bitch. It's my bus anyway.I sigh and wonder where it is we're going now, what city's next. I stopped caring after Naomi we...
Which, by the way, already has a pending offer on it. Just in time for the fucking holidays.I kick aside the box I was working on and move to the next, looking for the reindeer with the cigarette in his mouth and the snow man who's in the process of giving the middle finger. Ty says these unique ...
Ty says with a Marlboro hanging out of the corner of his mouth and a box of takeout in his hands. I'm sitting across from him at this tiny, little bistro set that's so rusty I can't even tell what it might've looked like before. Ty says it came with the apartment and that it was this way when he ...
Turner says, leaning his shoulder into me as we walk down the sidewalk with two of Brayden's men at our backs and two more blending in with the dirty gloom up ahead of us. That female guard's up there somewhere, arm in arm with a man several inches shorter than I am, pretending to be a couple or ...
Besides, I've done some cyber stalking on my phone and see that Noah's posted something about the milkshakes being good tonight. Would be better, he writes, if I had some company to share one with. I pull into the gravel parking lot and try not to stare at the faces there. If I do, I'm bound to f...
Despite everything, I felt bad for running out the night River imparted her joyous news on us. A cluster of carnations might not do anything to make up for that, but I hoped the effort would help.I tried the front door; it was unlocked, as usual.“Hello?” I called, pushing my way inside and lettin...
I really, truly believed that my mother would dump the douche and come looking for me, take me into her arms and tell me she was sorry for everything. Sorry that she'd killed my one and only friend in the world, that she'd been distracted with devils but was now singing choir with fucking angels....
Brayden says to me, guiding me down a dark hallway and through an empty kitchen. We're heading towards the exit the restaurant staff use during business hours. Right now, Brayden says, a half dozen delivery trucks have pulled up to start unloading. We're going to use them to get away from the hot...
I don't go too far though, just in case. You never know what kind of shit can go down at dusk. Everyone always worries about what's going to happen after dark, but not me. The real badasses, the bad guys you want to stay away from, they come out when the sky is still light enough to see, but just...
Preston's. Bed. “Oh shit!” I called out as I sat up and dragged the blankets around my chest like a shield. They were white, perfectly crisp and had the slightest scent of laundry detergent clinging to them with gentle, floral fingers. I bit down on the corner of the comfo...
I was glad that the vampires had sent me home with just the sphinx. Levie was still wrapped up in business with his cousin, so I didn't have to worry about the two of them officially meeting each other just yet. Though he was probably going to flip when he realized I was at home without him. &nbs...
