Oh, I'm sorry. Did I interrupt some sort of dominance foreplay?
No, he admitted, and my instincts sang out at his reluctance. That’s across the hall. Crutch swinging, I started for the door, almost pushing Quen out of my way. Just over there, you say? I said,
Ivy had once said that sharing blood was a way to show deep affection, loyalty, and friendship. I felt that way about her, but what she wanted from me was so far from what I understood that I was afra...
It was a nice bit of blackmail that kept him off my back, but he refused to take the message that I wasn’t going to work for him. ’Course, that might be my fault…since I seemed unable to say no when h...
I'd say she's get us both fired, but the I.S. doesn't let anyone go. Alive.
I trusted him, even with my soul. And he isn’t meant for me.
