He stepped forward to keep our bodies aligned, and took my chin in his hand. I will have you. Body, mind, and soul. And I won't share you with anyone else.
He hung up the phone, and I did so gratefully, rubbing my ear a bit for good measure. I was pretty sure I’d just heard Rick Astley at eardrum-popping decibels, which wasn’t anything I needed to ever e...
Have you ever noticed that however uncomfortable you might have been when you first went to bed-the room too hot or too cold; the pillows not quite right; the mattress lumpy; the sheets sratchy-by the...
Has he apologized? In the way that he apologizes. ‘I would do anything to protect you,’ I said, in a pretty good imitation. Mallory nodded. He gave you an alphapology. What now? An alphapology. The ap...
Grief was a miserable emotion. A friend once told me the hurt that came with the end of a relationship was painful because it was the death of a dream—the future you’d imagined with a lover, a loved o...
Ethan groaned. To business already, Sentinel? So much for, ‘Good morning, Liege. I love you, Liege.’ He managed a remarkably bad imitation of my voice, then feigned sweeping hair over his shoulder. I...

I tried to lighten the mood, and pointed at the house shoes - the last things I'd have expected to see Catcher Bell wearing. And the shoes? I asked with a grin.My house, my rules. These shoes happen t...
Holy toast.
He turned on his heel and began down the hall, then called back, And we’ll need to chat about your running off campus and into the arms of shifters without so much as a telephone call. Sometimes, he w...
