Back at his side, she knelt on the floor as he sipped the water, his color slowly returning. She kept close watch over his features as she tried to reconcile this man with the creature she’d seen him turn into. Derek was refusing to meet her eyes. He just sat there swirlin...
Emerson asked eagerly as Jericho slid into the backseat. About the same way things go when a car gets hit by a freight train, he thought to himself. He felt like a wreck, all gnarled and twisted up inside, and he imagined it was going to take quite a few hours to straighten himself out again. Ah,...
It burned his nose, coated the back of his throat, and made him want to cough. Gunner rubbed his ribs where Adrian had kicked him, wincing as he took another breath. One was cracked, maybe two. Behind Adrian’s God-awful smell was Claire’s, the sharp scent of her fear almost covering h...
At least not the first part. The rest...yeah, definitely. But not right now.” They guys were hovering around the bed, pacing, not quite giving each other high fives. But they looked extremely pleased with themselves. Or maybe they were pleased with me. Actually, I was pretty pleased with myself. ...
You could never go wrong with a dress, especially if its hem skimmed the thighs and the fabric clung nicely to her plentiful curves. It was grey in color, and had cut outs in the back, nothing too revealing but it gave the dress a feminine slant that highlighted her lines. Julie considered her re...
Yawning, she stretched her arms wide, then felt a pang of disappointment when her fingers met bare sheets instead of hot, smooth skin poured over muscles. But then, she wasn’t in Dawson’s bedroom. She was in her grandparents’ guest bedroom, back at the lodge. Coming...
He gritted his teeth as the same wicked heat he’d felt earlier when she’d touched him, began to unfurl deep in his belly, not at all happy at the reaction she was stirring up in him.

Addison looked up at the vehicle Daniel had rented. It was large, black, and looked as if it could scale Mt. Everest. She shouldered her new pack. Daniel had filled it with a rudimentary set of tools, Grace adding clean clothes. Addison had happily bagged her old clothes, tossing them into the tr...
And for a blinding moment she had no idea where she was. Then it all came back, just as suddenly: Taso...the crash of the first ship...being taken from the lobby of the modeling agency. And now she was on Taso’s personal ship—she really couldn’t think of it as a space ship, no matter how hard she...
She opened her eyes, and for a moment the world tilted sideways. Instinctively, she tightened her grip around Gabriel. “Where are we?” The sky above her was dark pearl gray, the color of early dawn a sharp slash of pink in the east. But around them, the air was still dark, cold and still. The las...
Addison was more worried about the blood running down his leg. It seemed to come from the wounds in his stomach. But he’d pulled his cape close and she hadn’t gotten a good look at any of his injuries. “How far to your home?” She could hear the concern in her voice and it ...
She’d been at her workstation, deep in the confines of the Natural History Museum for hours, alternately staring into her microscope, or poring through the stacks of ancient manuscripts that littered her desk. “Want some coffee?” She turned toward t...
Commander Fitzsimmons muttered as he studied the base from his seat in the black SUV. They were parked on a hill about a half-mile from the enemy base, and the Commander had dragged Harley out into the cold so they could study the terrain together. Not that Harley was complaining. For...
