“Hmm, you’re taking this better than I thought.”My eyes found his again as I furrowed them in disbelief. I had given him a chance to tell me something truthful, and instead he made up the shit he just spewed. Maybe this man was actually a hunter who had gone off the radar and was missing from one
TatumWorking with this woman was like working with a toddler who threw a tantrum when she didn’t get her way. I wasn’t quite sure what her damn problem was, but I wasn’t going to give into her like everyone else probably had in her life. What bothered me the most was she was a succubi, and those w
TaylorUncertainty had never been something I was okay with. My sister had often compared me to a skittish cat unable to feel anything but fear for the outside world. A comparison I was never pleased with. However, as the smile on Tatum’s face fell and his jaw went rigid, I knew something was wrong
I wasn’t sure why there was a sudden change to his behavior, but I was fully aware I couldn’t continue to be a complete bitch to him. Maybe if he did know me, he would be able to understand why I can’t give him what he wants. Or perhaps I was being naive, and this was just a ploy.Taking a moment,
“No, it won’t.” He chuckled. He wasn’t wrong, it wouldn’t. But I was hoping he wouldn’t know that and would find somewhere else to get comfortable. “You never know… just wanted you to be aware.”His blue eyes met mine one more as his smile widened before he shook his head and dove fork deep into
“It’s just a question,” he shrugged.Taking a deep breath, I thought about my family. My sister, the chaotic mess, constantly trying to prove she is better than me by kissing my mother’s ass. And my mother, the supreme leader of my fucked up family. Both of them, a stain on my existence.“Not exac
Unfortunate circumstances didn’t even touch our current situation as I gave my life over to a man I barely knew, hoping he would get me out of the woods alive. A normal person would have called me insane. Even perhaps questioned my will to live. However, I was living on the edge. Something I never d
With my mind set on the path ahead, I didn’t notice the quickly approaching steps coming near me until a huge force slammed into my side, sending me tumbling through the roots of trees and brush that littered the forest floor. A cry of pain escaped my lips as I palmed the dirt of the ground beneath
“Thank you for taking care of him,” she muttered. Tatum rolled his eyes behind her as if unable to believe perhaps that she was saying what she was. The entire situation caused the heat of embarrassment to rush over my cheeks as I cleared my throat.“It’s no problem…but I’m pretty sure it’s he who
“Excuse me,” a soft voice said from the door catching both of our attention. “I heard that.”Cassie stood before us in a long light-blue gown encrusted with gems. Her long hair was in curls half up on her head as the white silver leafed crown sat glittering on top. She looked so far different that
TaylorWhen Tatum came crawling back into the room somewhere near dawn, I’d been wary of where he had gone. I had awoken to an empty space in the bed next to me, and no word as to where had disappeared. Though, when he had come back and told me that I was to head off to the Fae realm in the morning,
She leaned forward, a thoughtful expression adorning her features. “You know the complexities of the realms, the obligations and duties that bind us. I know you love her and you want her to stay, but things aren't that easy, Tate. We need her there. We need her to help fix things before the girls ri
TatumI hadn’t expected Brina to show up at my door looking for answers. At first I was annoyed that my sister would overstep boundaries in order to make things happen between Brina and me. Of course, I was head over heels for this girl. My heart slowly slipped into a bliss like state of happiness
I didn’t need time to think about what he asked. The answer would always be, “Yes. A thousand times, yes.”Time seemed to stand still as our hunger for each other turned into a fury of torn clothing and touches. His hands roamed my body, gripping and grabbing as I pleaded with him to please me. To
Panic filled me with his question. Yes, I had rehearsed what I was going to say, but now that the moment presented itself I was acting like a fool. My mind was completely blank when it came to the plan I was going to stick to.“Uh, well…I wasn’t sure about the customs of the Fae. I was going to ask
Standing outside Tatum’s door, my heart pounded in my chest. The hallway felt suffocating, the air heavy with anticipation. I had rehearsed the words I wanted to say a hundred times, each time hoping to find the courage to confront the man that had helped me recover who I was. A man who helped me to
Taylor Settling into the plush light-blue armchair in Cassie’s room, I took in the grand splendor of the apartment-like suite around me. The decor spoke of royalty and sophistication, with gilded accents and rich fabrics adorning every surface. The soft glow of candlelight flickered, casting an et
