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...
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.
Noticing Cooper watching me, I paused mid-chew. You really are happy, aren’t you, baby? Yes, I said, stroking his shirt and feeling giddy. I’d never imagined I would share anything like this day with...
Are you ready for dessert? I finally asked. Where are you from? I moved around a lot growing up. Family in the military? No. Why New Hampton? I’m a big fan of pork. Are you ready for dessert? Cooper s...
You’re mine, I said and Cooper smiled so sweetly. It’s why I marked your butt.
We can’t have sex at my parents’ place, I said, giving him a grin. You are so sex obsessed, he said, sighing dramatically. I blame myself for being that good.
Shaking my head, I grudgingly smiled. Will the pizza be here soon? Yes, he murmured, suddenly next to me. You smell good. Before I could speak, his lips were on mine for a brief touch. I froze for the...
Man, he’s lucky I couldn’t track down his ass or I’d have kicked it so hard that he’d be shitting from his mouth.
I need to buy you some bling. A big fucking ring or tiara with my name on it so men know to stop flirting with you.
I can’t believe you can create such beauty. I can’t believe I’m finally looking at my beauty. You can’t see it, Lark. I know you can’t. Maybe it’s a girl thing or your shitty family or you do see it a...
His name was Aaron and he was the answer to all my prayers.
Despite the chaos, our family had a solid routine. Weekends were spent at the cabin where we enjoyed the quiet. A few times a week, Raven and Lark trained at Big Bob’s. My kids and I cawed for mommy d...
Cooper tugged me down the walkway to the other end of the hall and a small bedroom. This can be the baby’s room. We could stick a few kids in here. That way they’re close to us and away from Tawny. Th...
After watching Vaughn and Judd dump the body and cover it with lye, I followed Cooper back to the cabin. How are things going with Winnie? he asked as we waited for the others to finish. Good. We’re m...
Wanna get some pulled pork over at Stucky’s? I asked, climbing off the Harley. Lark blinked hard like she was about to say no, but wasn’t sure how. Do you not like barbecue? I asked. I do, but it’s be...
My sister came out to the porch to meet us. I knew she missed having me around the house. We spent most of our time together and often shared a bed at night. I wondered what she did when the nightmare...
Let’s say, Judd whispered, that some fuck was to show up here and cause trouble. Let’s say the piece of shit that put those bruises on your face shows up here, do you know what would happen? As I shoo...
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 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.
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...
