[Silas’s POV]"Mind if I borrow her?" I called, looking over Lennox’s shoulder. "You two weren’t in the middle of anything serious, right?""Nope, you can have her." Trixie responded, giving me the thumbs up. "I feel like both of you have a lot to talk about."That was correct; we did have a lot to
"I took on a human job so I could afford a small studio apartment and got my GED so I could take some online courses about computers. That's how I met Trixie. After that, we moved in together."

[Lennox’s POV]A fiery pain shot through me as I felt something in me snap. Was this it? This was what it felt like to lose your virginity? It fucking hurt!"Are you okay?" Silas’s gentle voice asked. "I can stop if you want.""No," I gasped, "I’m fine, really."Now that the pain was beginning to fa
[Silas’s POV]I let a slow smile spread across my face as I took in Lennox’s shocked gaze. Of course, she wouldn't be able to fully process all the things I planned to do to her. It was cute that she was tough but so damn innocent too."What?" I asked, pinning her beneath me. "Did you think that was

Nodding, I take a deep breath and rush to Ayla’s side while Gwen begins the operation, and after a few minutes have passed, I hear a shriek fill the air before she is lifting a tiny creature into the air and handing it over to Brian to clean while she cuts the bloody cord attached.Once she is finis
[Aera’s POV]9 months Late"Mmm, Aera, right there."Ayla’s voice echoes around me, spurring my movements even more. Knowing she was enjoying what I was doing to her was all the encouragement I needed."Ah!" she gasps, leaning more into the chair in front of her. "Not so hard."Chuckling, I lean for
When I reach my parents, their faces fill with relief, and I feel my heart squeeze. Even though they hadn’t spoken a word about everything that happened, I was sure that they were now expecting me to snap at any given second. I still had a lot of making up to do in order to gain everyone’s trust an
[Celia’s POV] I stare up into Alphonze’s dark, unreadable eyes while trying to figure out exactly what I was feeling. Was I just caught by surprise because he suddenly appeared, and that was why I suddenly felt jittery and my heart was racing? Right, that had to be it; there couldn’t be anything e
