Deputy Ennis Dickhead tipped back his stupid hat and smirked at me. Hello, Bailey. What do you want? I came to talk to your friend here. Just wondering if he’d seen his dad? Nick showed no reaction, b...

Once in the small master bedroom, Lark didn’t look around or make chitchat. She just stared up at me with those wonderful green eyes and waited. I sensed she wasn’t unsure about me as much as sex. Hav...

She also said her mother was a bitch, but we couldn’t choose our birth family. We did have the power to build a new and better one though.
Everything about you makes me crazy, he said, thrusting harder. I can’t think of anything without you at the edges. Everything I see is a reminder of you. My life was empty, yet sufficient a month ago...
Four wheels make more sense, she says as I start the engine. Just saying. Cars are fine, but there’s nothing like riding down the road with a beautiful woman wrapped around me. Justice leans around my...
Life would never be easy for Winnie, but my job was to make her feel as safe as possible. Whether beating down a loud college idiot or keeping my mom states away, I’d do whatever necessary to protect...
