When she was relaxed, Raven was the picture of innocence. When she was feisty, she was sex kitten personified. When she was angry, I worried she would neuter me.
Stepping closer, I wiped away a tear from her cheek. You’ll make a great mom. I guess we’re going to find out, she said, melting into my arms. I was on the pill. I can’t even do that part right. Takin...
I like your story, I say, running my hand up his sweater. Happy endings are sexy. Ford grins. When you say shit like that, I can’t believe you don’t hear how fucking dirty you sound.
I really don't want to leave this house, she murmurs. I know that feeling. It's not healthy. And your old life was? Healthy doesn't mean shit. Happiness should be our goal. Are you happy here?
I see you, I whispered in his ear. You’re mine in every way and nothing will make me let go.
I think about you when I’m alone, I whispered. Cooper’s expression sent me into hysterics. Everything from horny boy to shock to joyous relief got stuck into one weird facial expression. Even after I...
I was still a nerd in some ways, but I’d be that nerd on my own terms. Not to please anyone else. Not to be anyone else. I was me and fuck anyone who didn’t like it
Sporting a black eye, Dylan met me in the front of Cooper’s office. I looked up at where guys were redoing the roof before returning my gaze to my new boss. As much as I appreciate this chance, I said...
If you could go anywhere right this minute, where would you go? Cooper glanced at me then focused on the road. Do you want the happy answer or the real one? Both, I guess. The happy answer is I’d go t...
It isn’t easy being on the outside, I admitted. Judd and I were tight. We spent a shitload of time together. Not talking or having feelings, but I had someone to sit next to me and drink beer with. We...
It’s me, he said, lifting my chin so I would look at him. It’ll never be anyone else. With me, you’ll always be safe.
I’ll take another stab at talking to her. If you can’t find a way, get Cooper to do it. You know how he loves controlling things. I’m sure he’ll want to help. True, but once he starts meddling, he won...
I’m glad you needed a ride tonight, he said, his gaze on the TV. I’m glad I was around when you needed that ride. It worked out, but you look tired. I am. Cooper ran his index finger along my face and...
Nearly bled to death today, Poppy says, balled up on the floor. I’d have died without accomplishing all of my dreams. What dreams? I want blue hair and a cooch tat. Don’t you think you might be aiming...
Your mom is a great cook, I said, enjoying the macaroni salad. Yeah, self taught. Trial and error. Can you cook? We usually didn’t have a kitchen in the motel. I can warm stuff up, but that’s it. Coop...
Johnny pats his son on the back like the owner of a violent dog trying to keep it on a leash.
Just because you came from shit doesn’t mean you’re shit. You’re so much better than what you’ve known and I bet you’ll be a fucking awesome mom
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...
Laughing behind my hand, I followed him out to his motorcycle. I like to think I’m hot enough that I don’t need to flirt well. Do you? Fortunately, I agree. In fact, this time when you walk in front o...
