Bad things happen, Mathew. We can't see them coming, and there's often nothing we can do to prevent them. But that doesn't mean we shouldn't all live life to its fullest.
Ah, Blue Eyes. His voice, muffled against her neck, went raw with emotion. I made no tricks against you. My heart sings only good things. It is the truth I speak.I you at the fire!They were back to t...
You will learn not to fight me, Yellow Hair. It is a promise I make for you.
You have stolen my heart.

This stallion says , how are you, my friend. He ran a muscular arm around the black’s neck, moving in close to his shoulder. He is son to my friend who is dead. Breathe into him so he will know your s...

Hunter, why did you tie me to stakes again tonight? How long do you plan to do that?Until my touch is carved in your heart.
He looked over at her. Strong is right?Well, yes, I suppose you could say that.You say a woman cannot be bought. I say she can. I am strong. I am right.
