"Hey." When the doors close, I turn toward her and take her face in my hands. "I'm not angry with you. I'm angry at your father for making you feel this way. For making you think that you have to hide who you are, or that the second you care for something it's going to disappear. Because that's not
"You can't do this to me." He's beginning to plead now because there's no way out of this. "The only way you walk away from this unharmed is in my good graces," I tell him as I squeeze Piccola's hand again. "And because I love your daughter, I'll make sure she's taken care of." "I'll be ruined, an
A few months later "Who knew buying a dildo online would end with a happily ever after?" Lexi teases as she comes waltzing into the bathroom. I've been trying to give my groom the slip since we said our vows, but he isn't making it easy. The man isn't letting me out of his sight. "Did you get it?"
Seven years later "Are you sure you want to do this, Piccola?" I ask as I look into her eyes and search for a hint of doubt. I don't see any, but I know she's nervous. "We can leave right now." "No, I want to do this. It's time." "I'll be by your side the whole time. I'm not going anywhere." She
When Pia Jacobs is introduced to the alluring Vincent Williams who's the best man at her best friend's wedding, she knows right away that he is trouble. He doesn't rub off her the wrong way, no. He intoxicates her. Infiltrates her senses, and makes her want to sin, so all she has to do is avoid him
Since Parker moved out, I've been flying solo, and it's the first time I've had a space all to myself. I was sure I was going to enjoy it, but it's turning out to be a lot lonelier than I thought. Even with how much time I spend chatting away to random people online, it can be isolating. Never did I
"Vincent, honey, be a dear and get your father for me. I want cake." My mom walks briskly by me, not even waiting for me to answer her. Probably because she knows I'll do exactly as she says. Damn it.Turning away from where I see the maid of honor, Pia, standing near the table, I go in search of my
Then I remember her looking over her shoulder and how her eyes widened when she looked up and saw me. She was so close I could see gold flecks around her dark lashes and a dust of shimmer across her cheeks. She looked like something out of a dream, and I never wanted to wake up.By the time I get th
Five years later..."How are you not used to this by now?" I take my eyes off the two agents to glance over at Henry. It still feels odd to call him that sometimes after calling him Mr. President for so long."They look at her," I growl. One thing I sure don't miss about the White House is having pe
Six months later...I bounce on the edge of the seat of our SUV about to burst with excitement. "Sweet pea. Calm down." I glance over at Ford, who is driving us home. He's smiling at me. He's let his facial hair grow a touch. I can still feel the reminder on my thighs right now. He's looked so much
July puts a hand on the president's arm and nods. "I like the sound of that. We're all out of here in six months, and I think I'd like nothing more than to raise your brother or sister with you nearby. We've got a lot of time to let this grow and plan the future."She looks up to the president, who
"The president is landing," the voice in my ear says, and I give Sloan one last kiss."We've got to go downstairs. Your dad is about to get here and I want to talk to Chad.""Okay," she says as she straightens her spine. She has more courage than I gave her credit for.Even after everything that's h
The shower shuts off and Ford steps out. He towels off and helps me down from the counter as if it's too high for me to jump from. He holds me as we walk out, and I see the blood on my bedroom floor and wall."I'll get it cleaned up." He kisses the top of my head. "You need more clothes." He smacks
Ford starts wailing on him, hitting him over and over. Two agents run over and try to pull Ford off him, but they can't. One looks over at me and I'm pretty sure it's the same one who busted us having sex. He looks at me and I know he's asking me for some kind of help."Ford," I call out. "I'm scare
I search my closet for a shirt, but I'm so frantic I can't find one even though I'm surrounded by them. I stop what I'm doing and close my eyes. I take a deep breath to calm myself down."Get it together," I tell myself.Too much has just happened. I lost my virginity, Ford told me he loves me, and
"This will only hurt a little bit," I tell her, hoping it's not a lie.I push forward another inch, and she whimpers, but I've never felt anything so fucking good. It's tight and hot and so goddamn sticky sweet."Fuck, let me in, sweet pea," I say as I press my forehead to hers and thrust in a littl
I've thought of our first kiss a thousand times, but every fantasy I came up with was weak compared to what it's like to have my lips on hers. She opens her mouth right away and I groan as my tongue touches her. I always thought the devil was the one calling the shots when he sent her to me. Why els
