Once the water became deep enough it turned off automatically, and the abrupt silence thickened the tension in the room. She couldn’t meet Zak’s eyes, so she kept her gaze low and tried not to cry. “Take your dress and underthings off, Minnie.” She ...
She’d been keeping meticulous notes on all the animals she encountered on the beach and in the forest ever since they’d been relocated in a private house that rested just inside the tree line, a short walk from the facility they’d been held in. She gazed at the dimming sky as the suns dipped near...
The view took her breath away each morning when she rushed up the steps to glimpse the sunrise. Hunter preferred to sleep in a little longer, but sometimes she was able to rouse him to join her for an early breakfast on the rooftop terrace. Today, however, she was alone as the first rays of brill...

Monroe.” Dr. Taylor’s mouth twisted in a brief smile as he handed me a test. “Car trouble,” I muttered, feeling the burn of my much younger classmates’ eyes on my back. He glanced at my feet, and I shifted uncomfortably. My jeans were soaked from th...
She smoothed her hands down the French maid costume she’d donned, enjoying the way the skirt flounced with her movements. When she turned and bent over, the bottom of her lacy black panties peeked out. Finally satisfied with her appearance, she rushed around her apartment ...
She glanced down at the guest list for this evening’s benefit dinner and studied each name, willing one of them to transform into Dr. John Holden. But he wasn’t coming, and she hadn’t heard from him in weeks. She’d known his attendance was a long shot, but she’d mailed the invitation nonetheless....
She still worried Mr. Mizenov would fire her. Perhaps he’d needed to sleep on the decision. She smoothed her hands over her skirt and crossed the street to the jewelry store. In her desperate need to impress her boss, she’d chosen her cutest summer outfit – a low cut peach colored blouse with a m...
He stood behind the large table that had been set up for the tax collection in the village square, his thoughts on Meadow, the beautiful lass who had snuck into his tent last night. The beautiful lass he had taken his sword belt to, no less. His cock hardened each time he ...
She tapped her fingers on the counter and gave Margery a wary glance. “Oh stop fretting,” her friend said, rolling her eyes dramatically. “They’ll be fine. They always are.” Shana sighed and went back to work fixing turkey sandwiches for lunch. “Daman said it’s dangerous.” She paused. “I ask...
Exhaustion weighed her down and clouded her mind. She had stayed awake hours past her normal bedtime hoping and waiting for Cavvik’s safe return. She listened to the noises around her, trying to clear the cobwebs from her mind. Steady footsteps echoed around her. Rain pounded on the roof. Doors o...
She backed away from the gruesome scene, clamping a hand over her mouth. A scream built in her throat, but no sound escaped. Shock set in, causing her whole body to tremble. A chill rolled through her and she struggled to make her legs work. After a few forced steps, she was moving, and fast. She...
She planted a quick kiss on Merokk’s cheek before taking her seat across from him. Breakfast was already spread on the table, an assortment of Kall fruit and, to her surprise, some traditional American breakfast food. “Pancakes, bacon, eggs? Really?” The cooks hadn’t served Earth food in this hou...
She rolled over, glancing at the clock on the nightstand and gasped. She’d napped for two hours in the middle of the afternoon! Smiling guiltily to herself, she recalled how she’d argued with Daddy that she wasn’t sleepy. The walk through the woods with Lady must’ve tired her out more than she’d ...
Brandon hissed. “People are staring at you.” He took a bite of his sandwich inside the diner they frequented near Deep Creek, chewing vigorously. “I’m not scowling,” she insisted, and glared around the diner. “People are just staring because I was missing, that’s all.” How was she going to surviv...
Rhiannon missed him greatly, and it was hard to satisfy her boredom. Other than cooking and cleaning, there wasn’t much else to be done inside the cabin. The previous occupant hadn’t even left behind any books or handiwork supplies. Despite her protests, Edwin wouldn’t even permit her to go outsi...
