Chapter One

Lizzy smiled as she saw Mia dressed in her costume for costume day in school. Mia smiled at her mom and flashed a smile…a smile that reminded her of someone, someone she didn’t want to be reminded of.“Mom! See I am dressed as Daenerys Targaryen” she said and Lizzy smiled lovingly in return.“It’s Daenerys, honey,” she said and Mia shrugged.“Dae-ne-rays,” she said rolling the “r” “Sounds exotic,” she said and Lizzy grinned. Mia had been the one from her past that didn’t bring her pain. The one thing that kept Lizzy sane.She watched as Mia straightened her white wig that she had ordered from Amazon, and her daughter looked every inch a princess.“How do I look, mommy?” She asked and Lizzy grinned. Lizzy tried to ruffle the wig but Mia danced away, wagging her finger at her.“You look like a queen,” Lizzy said and Mia smiled smugly.“Good, because I am going to burn some guys with my dragons,” she said, making a pouty face.“Mia!” Lizzy exclaimed and her daughter laughed.“I am kiddi...

Chapter Three
Lizzy POVThe costume day was a total success. Mia was awarded as the best role-playing child. She did her part well especially the “Dracarys” part. Meanwhile, Lizzy had been trying hard not to laugh as she saw Mia's haughty face when saying “Dracarys”Mia was nodding her head now to a song blasting from the car radio.“So Mom how was I today” she asked and Lizzy smiled and ruffled Mia’s hair. She allowed her this time.“You won the award honey you are the best,” Lizzy said and Mia rolled her eyes.“Yeah. But I know you mom, I want to hear your own opinions” she said and Lizzy smiled to herself. She was pretty smart for an eight-year-old.“Okay, you’ve got me. I just find your “Dracarys” face funny that’s all”“Mom! That’s not good” she said and Lizzy laughed and made an imitation of Mia on the stage.“Dracarys,” She said and Mia laughed.“Maybe you should have taken the role of mom,” she said and Lizzy laughed.“Maybe” Lizzy agreed. Lizzy used to love acting before. But now she work

Chapter Four
Lizzy POVLizzy's heart pounded in her chest like crazy. She had never expected this, not in many years. That Xander would show up on the porch of her house. How did he even know her address?“Hello” came that soothing deep voice that had whispered slutty things to her before.“What do you want?” She snapped and Xander smiled. An annoying innocent smile.“I just came to visit,” he said and Lizzy started to close the door but Xander’s foot stopped it and he pushed the door back open.“I don’t want you here. Get out” Lizzy said and Xander smiled.“What if I don’t want to leave?” He asked seriously. Lizzy wanted to stare into those flammable green eyes but she couldn't because of the fear of getting lost in them.“Then I’ll call the cops,” she said and Xander smiled. He didn’t budge from where he stood.“Go on. Call them then” he said and Lizzy shot him a deadly glare. How could she forget, he had a lot of influence and power no cop would dare lay a hand on him if they valued their job.

Xander POVWhen Xander felt her lips on his, He lost all sense of reasoning. She was like a drug, he couldn’t stop having her. He just wanted her so much, it hurts. He wanted in his arms,“Xander stop” she mumbled in his mouth but he wouldn’t, he couldn’t he had to have her now before he went crazy.“I can't,” he replied and cupped her butt in his hands. Lizzy pushed him away and scowled.“Don’t ever try that” she said and Xander stared at her, he wasn’t fazed. The fact that she allowed him to go as far as kissing her meant that she still wanted him as much as he wanted her.“Why didn’t you tell anyone about Mia” he asked and Lizzy shrugged. Xander could see that she looked uncomfortable like Mia was a topic she didn’t want to discuss, of course, it only made him want to know more.“How old is she?” He asked and Lizzy shot him a deadly glare. One that would have brought lesser men to their knees in forgiveness but Xander was every bit as stubborn as she was, even more.“It’s none of y
