Bull Creek Chronicles Chapter 27: Panther Hunted
Miles Hemingway glanced around the Everest mansion, taking in the opulence and extravagance around every corner. Daniel Everest loved to show off his money, that was abundantly clear. And sad. No wonder the man needed to make alliances within the tribes to further his goals. He needed the money to keep up his appearances. Heaven help him if he came across weak or lacking. Average. The fact that he was willing to sell his own daughter to the highest bidder suited Miles' whims and fantasies, however; fantasies he jerked off to since high school envisioning Lainie in her cheerleading outfit. This deal with Daniel Everest was the culmination of many lonely nights hoping to finally have a few moments alone with Lainie—willing or not. Now, he would have a lifetime."Lars, Miles," Daniel Everest said, reaching out to shake their hands. "Glad you could make it. Please, join me in my study, and we'll have a drink while we talk over the details of our companies working together." He turned, lead
Bull Creek Chronicles Chapter 28: Panther Hunted
Lainie pulled back into the parking lot behind town hall, ready to call the day over. Between old man Leary complaining about his neighbor's dog crapping in his yard and Miss Singleton out on the edge of town swearing she saw a dragon flying overhead the previous night, Lainie kept checking the calendar to see if a full moon was rising. There were just too many nutcases out today.As she approached the back of the sheriff's department, she noticed Gavin Covington slipping out the back door, his slender frame straight as a gentle wind tousled his already unruly light brown hair. Gavin was an interesting individual, human, but deeply entrenched in the paranormal community having been adopted when he was barely five years old by Farren Covington, alpha of the major wolf pack in Draven Falls. Lainie always assumed he was a deputy because the Paranormal Council needed a connection at the sheriff's department. Of course, that wasn't the only oddity about Gavin. He was also part of a triad wi

Over the next couple of days, Lainie looked constantly over her shoulder for the whereabouts of Miles Hemingway, jumping at every sound and loud noise. His final words to her kept replaying over and over in her mind. "You will be mine, Lainie Everest. I was promised." The man obviously did not appreciate being rejected. Thanks, Dad, for picking such a winner. This Monday, her only day off before she left for Bull Creek, Lainie decided to just hang out in Josh's apartment and avoid the stress of raccoons digging around metal garbage cans, making her think the noise was actually Miles sneaking up on her. Instead, she intended to take a long soak in a hot tub and read the latest Gracen Miller novel. She probably should pack for her trip, but most of her belongings were still in the boxes she stuffed them in when Dimitri and her packed their stuff up last week while their father was at work. There wasn't much to pack really except what she needed daily. She lived out of her suitcase, just
Bull Creek Chronicles Chapter 30: Panther Hunted
Josh stretched his arms over his head, trying to waken his muscles just a little to take the stiffness out, and then rolled back over, his arm wrapped around Alanna Bradbury as he snuggled tighter against her. He inhaled deeply, filling himself with the fragrant aroma of her as he nuzzled into her neck. Two days ago, they were confronted with the fact that they were each other's destined mate, but Alanna wasn't ready to go the full distance in that area, and Josh still wasn't sure why. He had asked, of course, but Alanna was tight-lipped about her past and why she wasn't ready to go forward. All she ever said was that she came from a failed pack and wasn't eager to get involved with anything—or anyone—in a serious manner again. Josh stopped asking after letting her know he was there whenever she was ready to talk about it, and the two of them spent almost the whole weekend naked and exploring each other in all the carnal ways they could envision.And they came up with a lot."Are you g
Bull Creek Chronicles Chapter 31: Panther Hunted
Lainie peeked out the curtain to the parking lot outside for the fifth time since her mother left. Yes, she was definitely feeling paranoid, but she couldn't shake it. She also didn't like it. This wasn't her. She didn't cower or hide. If she could go toe-to-toe with her father, she could definitely face off with the likes of Miles Hemingway. She took a deep breath as she stepped away from the window, brushing her dark bangs out of her eyes. She refused to remain cooped up inside Josh's apartment on her day off like some timid school girl. No, it was time to shower and go out into the world again and enjoy her last few days in Draven Falls.Her cell phone rang from the table behind her, making her scream and jump at the sudden noise. She shook her head as she let out a disgusted breath. So much for my bravado. Making her way to the phone, she noticed her brother's name across the screen. It was only then that she realized she hadn't spoken to Dimitri since Thursday when he told her abo

Dimitri pulled into the parking lot of the sheriff's department; still not sure this was the best course of action. While Josh and Alanna were on their way to Draven Falls to make sure Lainie got out of there safely, Dimitri decided to introduce himself to the local sheriff. Jed had told him that Sheriff Einstein was a little in the know about paranormals, but he never said how much that little actually was. However, if Lainie was going to work here, Dimitri needed to know she would be safe. With Bane still around and knowing how far the coyote alpha would go in his quest to make Bull Creek a shifters-only club, Dimitri needed to know the sheriff would have his sister's back.The sheriff's department was a one-story building made out of red brick and looked like it had been built and forgotten. Four sheriff's cars filled the side parking lot along with one blue Toyota. Tall pines lined the sides of the property with a couple of giant oaks in the back shading the building.Dimitri slid

Josh left Dimitri and went straight to Alanna, knowing Dimitri would want them on the road as soon as possible in order to bring Lainie home to Bull Creek. Of course, Josh knew he still needed to convince Alanna to go with him, and if he was honest with himself, he had to admit, he wasn't sure if she would or not. Sure, they had their legs wrapped around each other for the past three nights, but that didn't mean she'd pack a bag and just hop in the car with him. Did it?With a deep breath, he knocked on her cabin door, hope in his heart and a plea on his lips, not to mention a hard cock in his pants. God, why am I always so fucking hard whenever I'm near her? At first, the fact that he instantly became erect when he thought of her was stimulating, but after a while—and he hated even admitting this—the fact that his cock strained against his pants constantly became quite irritating. Maybe I can ride to Draven Falls naked.Alanna opened the door a moment later, her brows pinched in confu
Bull Creek Chronicles Chapter 34: Panther Hunted
Lainie took a deep breath as she stepped out of The Enchanted Spoon, her belly full and her nerves a little calmer. The day was slowly being swallowed by the night as evening cloaked the downtown area of Draven Falls. Lamps in the town center started to flicker to life, illuminating the paths of those not ready to call this Monday over. The nightlife was just beginning, and while Monday night may not be as rambunctious as Friday night or even Thursday, there were still plenty of people who would bounce from bar to bar and shop to shop, savoring the sights, smells, and companionship. Lainie could use some of that companionship right about now. She hadn't realized how much she hung around her brother and Josh until they were gone. She had no real friends of her own, most moved away or were busy with families of their own, such as Gavin and his family. Fitz was now married, and even though she knew Mandy in high school, that was years ago, and she didn't even know her that well back then.
