Do you know one reason my parents have stayed married so long? I asked and Lark shook her head. They’re a team. If one has a problem, they both have a problem. No secrets, no holding back. They face e...
Did you take the pill? Poppy asks, stopping me at the door. There’s no room in this house for your bastard offspring.
Cooper leaned back a little then reached out and tugged at my size too large pink Minnie Mouse sweatshirt. You really wanted to put an exclamation mark on the no sex thing, huh? Balking, I smacked his...
You took a bullet to save those girls, I said as he watched me. A pale Dylan shrugged then flinched at the pain of the movement. In my head, I would stop the bastards without getting shot. Didn’t real...
Wiggling my breasts against his back, I waited for the groan. Cooper glanced back at me and frowned. I need to start wearing sweatpants or else you’ll kill me. I don’t understand, I said, batting my e...
Waking at two in the morning, I noticed Judd was gone from bed along with Pearl. As I pushed the covers back to find him, he appeared at the doorway with a few cans of soda and a plate of food. Hey, b...
The reason, he whispered, caressing my cheek and neck with his lips, guys obsess over these lips is because they’re so fucking sexy. Soft too. Little pink pillows that taste sweeter than candy. When h...
Love means knowing when to hold someone hostage. Grinning,
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...
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...
Want to come inside? Poppy asks, grabbing my wrist and tugging me forward. Do you hunger to see where Journey lives and breathes? We could interrogate you a little too. Yes, come inside.
My temper is supposedly legendary, though I doubt most people have heard of it. My younger sisters are known to run screaming when I’m on my last nerve. This response would be more impressive if they...
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?
From the day I met her at the wedding rehearsal, I couldn’t stop thinking of her beautiful face. I was forever drawing her, sketching her, and even tattooing her. How many people in Ellsberg were walk...
Cooper gave me a very serious expression. I’m going to do something. Do not freak out. Be casual. Can you do that? No, I said in a panic. Cooper reached behind me and I felt his fingers on my ass. For...
Can I come? Sawyer asked, appearing from the yard. We don’t know where we’re going. I don’t care. Tuck is bringing the baby over. It’ll cry and everyone will pay attention to it and ignore me. I know...
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...
I never understood why you cared what those morons thought. They weren’t your friends. They didn’t know shit about you, so what did their opinions matter?
We can make each other happy, Farah, Cooper said, lying between my legs and swinging his feet like a kid. His expression was tender as he teased my nipples. I know you’re mine. If you let me start ove...
