I wanted to break away from her, be free... but why did she step on all my plans? Why did she want to keep me chained to her? She made me numb for the longest time until I met Dominic Black. He made a fire spark in my empty chest. He made me feel things, things I'd never felt before. I wanted to have him... except, he would now be my new stepbrother. Just another thing my mother took from me.

You're Nothing

MILES Slap! The sharp sting of my mother's hand fizzled on my cheek. "What did you say?" Her voice was so low I felt it came from hell itself. I swallowed before turning my head back to face her. Her fair skin was flushed in anger, and she almost matched her dyed strawberry blonde hair. She was a petite woman but as fit as an athlete. She ran four miles every morning to keep her perfect figure nice and tight, and she was beautiful with soft blue eyes, a small nose, and full pink lips fit perfectly inside her pale, heart-shaped face. At least, that's what she looked like when she wasn't seething in anger. She looked almost feral with her lips curled, baring her teeth and her eyes wide and wild. I looked nothing like her. I stood at least a foot taller than her with olive skin and long, straight black hair that reached my ass. If I did have anything from her, it was my mouth, full and pink just like hers, but other than that, no one would assume she was my mother. She hate...

Pool Champion
MILES The house was on the nicer side of town, so it took me three bus rides, much to my wallet's dismay. It would have been two, but I had to stop and patch up my knees first. They busted open when I fell and I couldn't go to a party with bloody knees. Having gauze patches on them wasn't pretty either, but it was better than the alternative. I had to walk at least two miles from the bus stop to get to the house from the given address. It gave me an uneasy feeling. The damn thing was a mansion. It could have been a fucking castle with how long I walked along the brick wall protecting it. How had Kenzie managed to get into a party like this? I couldn't imagine hanging out with a bunch of rich pricks in an ancient home from the 1800s was fun. I pulled out my phone to text Kenzie that there was absolutely no way I was going to attend this party. 'Maybe I could make it to the diner and work a shift.' They were open 24 hours a day, so I could let Sandra go home to her babies. Just

Tall, Dark, And Broody
MILES Something was wrong with me. It was like my body was buzzing to be near this man, and everything inside of me was saying, "Don't do it!" I closed my hand, pulling it back. Kenzie pulled on my arm. "Are you sure you want to do this?" I didn't miss the worry laced in her voice as she eyed the golden eyed man warily. I nodded my head, patting her hand with mine. "Absolutely." She stepped back, giving me room. Dominic, I think, stepped forward, leaning toward me, which made my breath hitch. He smelled so good, like sandalwood and bourbon. I heard the crumpling of paper and saw that he took my forty dollars. The guy named Marcus stood on the other end of the pool table. "Shall we flip a coin?" I held a hand up. "No, he can go first." Whistles and cheers of encouragement were heard from the people surrounding us. Dominic raised a brow in amusement. I just bowed, swinging my arm wide for him to start. I was starting to regret my decision when, after he broke the balls, he

A**hole
MILES *WARNING SCENE OF PANIC ATTACK* I stumbled around the mansion, trying different doors until I found a bathroom. Luckily, no one was inside, so I locked it behind me. The bathroom was larger than my room, and it looked so nice I didn't dare touch anything. There was a large mirror on a lone wall, and I slowly made my way to see my back. A gasp left my lips as I looked. Large circles of purple, green, and red were there in splotches. Everybody had seen them. Maybe even people from school. I tried to swallow back my panic. I never wanted anyone to see. I didn't want everyone to know I was actually weak. The panic was still crawling up my throat. 'Don't forget, Miles, you're nothing.' My mother's words haunted my mind like a ghost with unfinished business. I smacked my hands over my ears and crouched down. I wasn't sure how long I stayed in the bathroom. waiting for my panic to calm, for my mothers voice to quiet down, but when it didn't, I knew I had to get out of there.

Greenhouse
MILES * WARNING EXPLICIT SEXUAL CONTENT* His honey coated eyes cut to mine, and his body tensed. I hoped he wanted to. I needed something to put me on edge. I needed to just feel something because lately, nothing wasn't cutting it. A single moment passed before he crashed his lips into mine like an ocean on a rampage. He tasted like beer and cinnamon, and the combination had never tasted so good. The kiss wasn't sweet or gentle. It was rough and ravenous like we were two animals answering to the mating call. It was a kiss that had only one goal. To fuck. Jolts of electricity sparked through my body as his large hands traveled down along my curves and grabbed my ass. A moan left my lips because damn it felt good, and he happily swallowed it, taking my bottom lip in his mouth and sucking on it. My hand traveled to the front of his jeans to cup his growing hardness. "Fuck," he growled, the curse fire against my lips. His hands found the buttons of my shorts and popped them

You Smell Like Piss
MILES My eyes snapped open. It was like my body knew I had fucked up. Light filtered through green tinted windows, making my head pound. All I could feel was heat and soft puffs of air hitting the top of my head. Wait... 'I fucking didn't...' My hand rested on a warm, muscled chest and I slowly, ever so fucking slowly, lifted my head to see the face that went with the body I was on top of. At first, I was struck by the complete masterpiece of the man's sleeping face. Lightly, I ran my finger along his defined jawline, light stubble prickling me. His perfectly arched eyebrows were dark like his hair, not quite black but a rich, deep brown. His complexion was lighter than mine, more tan than olive, like he spent most of his time in the sun. Then it dawned on me that he was the asshole that dumped his beer on me last night. I tried to piece together why the hell I was lying on top of him in the first place. What the hell had happened last night? Where were my shorts and u

Eat Your Vegetables
MILES Shopping with my mother was fucking exhausting. I could hardly stomach her fake affection for me. Every squeeze of my arm or rub on my back felt like needles pricking my skin. I almost threw up the alcohol I drank last night. By the time we went back home from picking a dress for me and her, stopping at the salon (which she hated because the stylist told me I hardly needed anything done. A natural beauty she called me), and bought shoes, I was starving. My stomach rumbled so hard it hurt. If I thought about it, I had hardly eaten anything yesterday either. I dressed carefully, so I didn't mess up the curls the nice stylist did on my hair. The dress my mother chose for me was a simple formal round neck, short sleeve midi dress in the shade blossom pink. It was the nicest dress I'd ever worn, and I'd be lying if I said I didn't like it. The girl in the mirror looked refined, strong. Except for the bruises she was littered in. They were on her face, along her arms and legs. A

You?
MILES Damn it. He was still as handsome as yesterday, dressed in black slacks and a white dress shirt. It made me sick, thinking that my mother and I had the same preference since Dominic was the spitting image of his father. As I finished my green vegetables, I tried working on the potatoes. My mouth was telling me how buttery and smooth they were as they melted on my tongue. My brain said it tasted like sandpaper and that I had royally fucked up. I knew he kept glancing at me, probably wondering what the hell was happening just like I was, but somehow, it felt like he was blaming me. The way his eyes lacked any real kindness when he looked at me was proof enough. I tried to convince myself that last night wasn't my fault. Well, maybe I shouldn't have been that drunk in the first place, but wasn't he to blame just as well? I didn't even remember what happened! Plus, couldn't he see how I was just as surprised as he was? Obviously not. His eyes kept sliding to me, making me

You Dirty Girl
MILES "Wait, so let me get his straight. When you disappeared last night, you were trying to find your way out but ended up in the garden. Then, in the garden, you ran into that disrespectful asshole that threw your fairly earned money at you and you ended up fucking him? And then you went to dinner today and found out that same asshole, who you just fucked last night, will be your new stepbrother?" I left out the bit about my panic attack. There was no need to cause unnecessary worry. "And I'm pretty sure he has a vendetta against me now," I added. I stared at Kenzie, who sat across from me on her bed, waiting for her reaction to the chaos I just unloaded on her. After dinner, my mom only drove a few blocks away before kicking me out because she had 'things to do.' I'd never been more thankful that I wore flats instead of the heels she bought for me in my life. I walked straight to Kenzie's because... Well, I had to tell someone. She looked back at me with suspicion. "You

Momma Jay's
MILES "Hey Kenny, slow night so far?" I asked as I entered Momma Jay's 24-hour diner. There were only a few people seated. The real rush came around two in the morning when drunk college students came in to try and sober up with food. Fridays and Saturdays were the money makers in terms of tips, and I was ready to tire myself out so I couldn't think of anything else. Kenny's chocolate brown eyes shifted from me to the floor as I approached him. He looked uncomfortable. He never looked uncomfortable. "Miles, I didn't think you'd be coming in today," he said carefully. My brows furrowed. "Why not? I called yesterday saying I would come in for a late shift since I had an important family dinner, remember?" He nodded, shifting from foot to foot. "Yes... but I thought Momma Jay had told you." "Told me what?" I asked anxiously. "That we are no longer in need of your services." He said so firmly, with his shoulders back. It was too sudden, and my confusion showed as my brows de
