She stood to her full, modest height, adjusting her hijab over her glossy dark brown hair, as she squared her narrow shoulders and lifted her head defiantly. She had just watched Sam walk out the door and realized she couldn’t bend to her parents’ or her brother’s wishes anymore. But, disobeyin...
After a long, lazy bout of lovemaking in the morning, Jack regularly contacted Marshall or Seth for a status update. Then they would spend the rest of the day lounging by the pool or seeing the sights, followed by another round of lovemaking in the evening before they fell asleep. &nb...
Jack said into his cell as he shut his apartment door behind them. It wasn’t even dinner time yet, but Tina couldn’t wait. She was going to be part of a fucking twenty-two million dollar heist, and Jack’s fucking plan is going to fucking work! She crouched down in front ...
Rather than frolicking in the pool they sat together on the bed and obsessively watched the news. Tina started out stiff and kept her distance, but after a time she softened and scooted in close, Jack’s arm going around her as she leaned in against him. The story of the recovered Ferraris popped ...
Should she have said goodbye to Drew? Tried and failed to make her father understand one last time? As the asphalt continued to stretch ahead of her, she grew more and more confident in the wisdom of her decision. Her mother would calm her dad down, and Drew would set his nose to his work. They w...
The early morning, late summer sun slanted through the blinds in shards of honey light that illuminated the bedroom and fell across her face, turning her skin a pale brown against his tanned shoulder. The contrast of their skin tones was less stark in such a light. Her closed eyes, heavy-lidded...
However, the hands on the clock continued to speed closer to eight. Afia started getting ready hours before her date. She had a deep red sweater dress she paired with black leggings and knee length boots, coupled with a long mauve scarf in conjunction with her black hijab. Her plush lips were li...
His hands stayed light, his touch like a feather as he caressed her hair and breathed into her eyes. Gazing up at him, she couldn’t help but hunger for more, and yet the force of his stare kept her body fixed to the bed as his hand finally met the line of her parted lips. ...
Stacy could tell that he was under a lot of pressure, but it had been three days and he still hadn’t told her anything. She was trying to give him all the space he needed. If it had something to do with his work, she didn’t want to push him. He would discuss it with her when he was ready. She was...
As he splashed water across his face, Lauren sat on the edge of the bed and watched his back muscles ripple as he grabbed a towel and wiped the droplets away from his skin. Once his face was dry, he turned to face hers, his face blank as his eyes moved down her legs. “So...
Unfortunately, her measuring stick for fun, attractiveness, and sex appeal was set very high. She’d never had as much fun or been as sexually aware in her whole life. It wasn’t something she missed every moment, but she tried hard to push those memories deep into the back of her mind, but that di...
Their servers were quick and efficient and had the food set up within minutes. He was told beforehand that they would come to clear off the table when you call from the cell phone on the table. Telling him that no one was coming back until he called made him want to have Natalie place her pussy o...
Working with the Reapers and the other clubs in town was never something he wanted to do, and they hadn’t come down off of what they wanted, but he couldn’t care less about it. The main guy that Jack had to work with was named the Juicer. Why? He didn’t know and he didn’t care, but the way the ma...
She was back in school, but her heart wasn’t in it. Between her father’s near death, as well as her own, school suddenly didn’t seem as important as it once did. She had become a minor celebrity in school as word went around about her ordeal. All the girls, already moon-...
He leafed through it and promptly threw it all into the waste paper basket. All but one envelope. There was one word written on it: Rose. So he handed it to her and went into the kitchen to make them both a hot chocolate before bed. There was a catchy old song on the radio: How Deep Is Your Love ...
Dirk remembered only one time when he had seen his president so furious, and it wasn’t a time he liked to think about—it was the time when Herman Ruiz had almost broken him. The only reason why Stephan had not gone berserk three years ago was that Dirk was falling apart, and he needed the others ...
She didn’t know why she agreed to it in the first place. The man was convincing, and she found it hard to say no, but as she walked towards the bar, Stacy was pretty sure it wouldn’t take her that long to walk out. The man was as handsome as the devil, but he wasn’t her type. They had nothing in ...
“Didn’t anyone tell you that listening at doors is not polite,” a short but well-dressed middle aged Asian man said. She recognized the voice as the one that seemed to have all the answers. “What are you going to do with me? You have no idea who I am, or who my father ...
Needing to see it just one more time, wanting nothing more than to hold the place in her mind as it had always been, Lena crept past her uncle’s sleeping form and raced towards the water. No way he was coming back now. She would have to live on the memory and imagine what might have been. &...
~ Zoë Heller Lex could hear the music Tamara was playing, on her laptop he presumed, as she worked. He realized, as he walked to her room, that he was being forced to make a choice between the safety of his mate, and the safety of the good citizens of Rojo Arroyo. As long as he remained there...
“What time is Maricia arriving?” Bear wanted to know. “An hour. She’s been updated, and she knows what to do.” Bear sipped his drink, and Lex thought back to the hours since he had last made love to his mate. He still had not said the words ...
Asher said the moment the door to the office closed, “and let’s get this over with.” “Why, Asher?” John asked. “Why what? Why have I tried to put together a deal to protect the club? Why have I have hunted down Melissa’s, your wife’s, killers? W...
They were living day to day, moving every few days to a new motel. Jenny’s father, the president of the Heartless Devils Motorcycle Club, was looking for them, and they knew it was only a matter of time before he found them. Asher still had friends in the club, friends w...
Pushing him up from the sand, Blake brushed him off and grabbed his shoulders. “You okay, man?” Blake asked. Paul shrugged him off, still wobbly on his legs as Callie caught him under her free arm with Grace at his back. He met the girl’s eyes and gently touched her face...
― F.W. Dupee The next morning, after a breakfast of leftover pizza and flat soda, Tammie dressed carefully in a baby blue sundress and high heeled strappy sandals, and she braided her hair over her left shoulder. Knowing she should probably wear a hat, she grabbed the straw hat she had brought ...
Neither of them had any idea what would happen the next morning or where they would be traveling the next day. All they knew was that right here, right now, they wanted to be with each other. Holly had never done this before—she had never gone on a date with a perfect st...
