True beauty isn’t in how big your breasts are, or how large your eyes are, or how pretty your nose is. All that is temporary. Breasts sag, skin gets wrinkles, waists become wider, and strong backs sto...
True beauty is in how that person makes you feel. When a man truly loves you, the longer you are together, the more beautiful you will be to him. When he looks at you and you look at him, you won’t ju...
Too much excitement, Your Majesty? I asked.He was standing too close.He was asking about Andrea.Too close. I didn’t like it. Curran wrapped his arm around my shoulders and started walking,steering me...
To the left Derek raised his bloody muzzle from the ruined back of the fifth reeve.Don't bite! Dumbass. Perfect wolf for you—isn’t happy until he's got poisonous shit smeared all over his teeth.

The porch light came on and Aunt B swung the door open. Middle-aged and stout, with graying hair rolled into a bun, she looked like she should be baking cookies, not ruling a brood of social deviants...
