“Brother...”
"Yeah. Reid is my brother." Jordan responded with a raspy chuckle.
"But I...he...I didn't know..." Maya was still in shock. People had just tried to kill her - they tried to kill her and Mr Daw- Reid. Maya didn't even know who 'they' were. She wasn't even sure if he was alive.
Maya's eyes went wide at the thought. She looked down at her clothing and saw that they were covered in blood. Her hands covered in blood. Her thighs, - covered in blood - her shorts. Everything.
"Is he?" She whispered - her body shaking - and looked up at Jordan. "Is he going to d-" she couldn't get the word out. Maya was too afraid to even t

"You are not going back to your apartment. They will kill you and I can't have you die." Reid's voice came out controlled but it was laced with complete anger. Jordan was shocked at the fact that his brother was able to master that much level of self-control. Usually, Reid was a man that got whatever he wanted with no hassle. And in the off, off chance that he didn't – which was rarely – he was never this...what's the word? Repressed."Do you want a building with that?" Maya spat."Huh?" Both brothers asked – confused – in unison."So you can bang on your chest, King Kong." With a roll of the eyes Maya left Reid in all his anger and Jordan in a laughing fit. She walked over to the couch and took a seat, then gr

Drenched. Soaked and dripping wet. Both Reid and Maya had been moist with adrenalin both for completely different reasons. Reid placed Maya on her bed and instantly her knees came up to her chest, covering her body. A shiver ran down her spine as well as a stream of water, due to her shower. Reid on the other hand was like a walking god. His dark clothes clung to him like a second skin. The sight of his bulging muscles and rippling abs had her clenching her thighs. Her eyes trialed down his body and stopped at the bulge in his tight, soaked pants. Good heavens Maya thought to herself. As she continued to marvel over his mouth watering body, Maya realized that the man she was mentally undressing wawith the same intensity. His member twitched in his pants and he suppressed a groan.Shaking her head as if to rid her thoughts of a certain delectable treat she spoke fas

Maya was proud of herself, and she had every right to be. She had just beat Reid at his own game. He had always been in control of every situation, control of her emotions, control of her body and in control of her mind. Not that Maya would ever let him know that – though Reid was smart enough to know when her body would react to his. As she left the bathroom with a fluffy white towel wrapped around her warm searing body she heard him curse under his breath. A sly smile made its way to her lips, leaving her with a confidence the size of Reid's ego.Not bothering to check where she was walking, Maya strutted out into her temporary room, bumping Jordan in the process. Being the giant that he was, the force of the bump almost sent Maya to the floor but Jordan's big sturdy arms kept her in place. With a hand tightly holding onto the towel wrapped snuggly around her body, she sucked in a

"Maya?" There was a knock at the door but no answer came from her. "Maya?" Jordan continued to knock profusely, letting his frustration be felt through the weight of his knocks. He hadn't slept at all last night, thoughts of the crazy scene tortured him. Things were not going according to plan and the way in which everything spiraled out of control was something he hadn’t had the chance to wrap his head around. His anger for the situation they were in was compromising his effectiveness to solve problems. He was angry at his brother for allowing himself to get caught up with a girl he barely even knew. Reid was never so...reckless. He was angry because he knew his brother needed this. Needed Maya. Although their time together was brief and had left no room for either of them to get to know each other. Jordan knew tha

"What do you mean I'm on a plane flying over the ocean?" Maya was completely confused, a) because of the medication she was given and b) because it didn't look she was on a plane, or feel like it for that matter. Sliding up into a seat position Maya scanned her surroundings, all around her the colors of cream and beige danced on the walls and on all of the furniture.Beneath her were white, soft sheets - crafted by angel hands. The blanket covering her was a shiny black color. The material itself felt like silky dog hair, its weird but thats what it felt like. The room had a hint of vanilla in the air as well as cinnamon. She was in heaven, the calming nature of everything left her body at ease but the only thing that prevented her from fully relaxing was the man that sat staring at her."You need to leave me al

"The poor girl must be freezing." "I gave her clothes, but she didn't want the ones I picked out." "You never had good taste.""Psht, please, my style is impeccable." "Always so humble Reid."With the conversation buzzing all around her, Maya found it hard to keep her eyes closed and her mind asleep. Pealing one eye open, she assessed where she was. The room was bright with a copious amount of light streaming in. It took everything in her not to close her eyes. The memories of the whole days events slowly came back and settled in her mind. "Oh look she's wa

Maya didn't realize how much she had wanted to kiss Reid. But averting her eyes from his pouty pink lips she looked deeply into his brown orbs and whispered again "you won't" the look in her eyes was one of promise. She knew she shouldn't have made a promise like that but Reid looked like he was torturing himself. And the truth was she couldn't let him continue doing that to himself. Even after all the terrible things he had done to her and all the things he had put her through, she just didn't have the heart to let him be in that sort of pain. He had walked around with the guilt of his family for thirteen years and there was no way she was going to let him walk around with the guilt of her involvement. "I think you should go" Reid whispered, looking away from her. His voice faltered for a moment but he had already chained himself to self pity and self loathing and he didn’t need Ma

What are you thinking about?" Maya asked, looking up at Reid. They were both snuggled together on Reid's bed. His eyes were closed and he had a small smile on his face. Maya had never seen him that relaxed and careless since she had met him, it was a really nice thing to see, especially with everything that's going on. His body was lying carelessly on the bed, with his one strong arm wrapped around Maya's frame and the other leisurely supporting his head. He looked 'chill' and that was definitely not a word used to describe Reid. "Nothing." He spoke barely above a whisper, making no move to open his eyes or change his position. "Don't lie" Maya pressed for more information, as much as she had been restraining herself in the past, when it came to Reid, she was now not worried about pretences. "I want to know what's goi

Sometimes when you care about someone, you tend to do things that are completely out of character for you. You say things, act a certain way, go a little extra - you know, put your best foot forward. Do all sorts of things to impress the person you care about simply because you want them to see you. Really, really see you. If they want soft, you give them soft. If they want to feel protected, you make sure to protect them. However, some people can’t go against their nature like that. As hard as they try, they are stuck in their ways and there’s not much you can do to sway them. Maya was the oxymoron that contained both these attributes. After having thought long and hard about her place in the Dawson family’s war, she wanted to be their protector, their savior and most importantly their freedom fighter. That being said, in true Maya fashion, she wanted to do i

The room was spinning. It was on an endless loop, going faster and faster at every turn. The ceiling soon meshed into the walls and the walls swirled into the floor, every element in the bathroom dancing and flowing into the next. One into the other, no lines or corners to show a separation of any kind. Maya leaned further into the toilet bowl heaving dry emptiness. Her body shook with the knowing fact that it was a matter of when instead of if - that she was going to die. Vermont had only seemed like a ghost of a rival just a few hours ago. A figment of the collective imagination but now with the hard facts of his rotting heart, inexcusable actions and limitless ideas of how far he was willing to go to inflict pain, she knew that he was very real. The poor family she had found herself attached to had survived horrors that no normal person would have gone through in a full life time. Or s

After what seemed like ages, the plane finally landed. Maya didn’t know where they were, not like it mattered anyway, her life was already flipped inside out. Everyone grabbed their bags and made their way to a lone black Range Rover and piled in. The air in the car was still, and extremely tense and no one said a thing to lessen it. As the car pulled off from the private airstrip, the scenery greeted the Dawson family with a warm embrace. Trees lined on either side of the road , stretching on for miles on end. The bright reds and yellows that bounced poignantly off the leaves brought color back into Maya’s life. The road was an intense charcoal grey color with contrasting yellow lines - that matched the autumn leaves - running in the middle and on either side of the road. The dark gloom hanging in the sky seemed to add to the beauty of the picturesque landscape laid before th

“Are you mental!?” Reid roared, rampaging through anything in his path. Once Jordan had agreed to Maya’s condition the air on the plane shifted and everyone had their own qualms with Jordan. They couldn’t fathom how he could agree to let Maya leave their life after she had become such a big part of it. Sending strong setted browed glares his way. “Don’t look at me like that” Jordan tutted back in a bitter tone “if you hadn’t lied to her” he spoke to his family -in a condescending tone - pointing at Maya as he addressed them “we wouldn’t be here. Frankly, your actions forced my hand.” And with that he left them gaping at the floor at his unruly tone and disappeared into one of the doors towards the back of the plane. Maya sat there perplexed, not

Sometimes in life you have to choose between doing what’s best for everyone and doing what’s best for you. Those decisions are never easy especially if there’s a whole storm of emotions swirling around your head. It’s even harder to make the best moral decisions when everything inside you screams against it. Maya found herself having troubles sleeping, despite the fact that she told Jordan that she was tired. Sleep eluded her, but it gave her more time to think and really evaluate everything in her life, especially Reid and the whole Dawson clan. How could she continue this journey with them after having found out their true intentions? Wouldn’t that make her stupid and naive? How can she believe anything that comes out of their mouths. And how could her dad be connected. Growing up it never seemed like her dad was any of the things Jordan had said he was. Wh

"So you've been lying to me?" The entire Dawson clan didn't know how to respond to that question. It wasn't that simple, it wasn't like they didn't want to share the information. They knew that they would get resistance. "This whole entire time! You've been lying to me? What the fuck happened to trust? Huh? What happened to it being a team effort?" Riley cringed as she was being yelled at, this wasn't supposed to happen. Timing wasn't on their side, fate had rolled the dice and this was the beginning of their end. "I can't believe you guys, you're supposed to be my family." Jordan was out of words. "Don't you dare say that!" Amelia reprimanded "we are your family." "Apparently not, if you're keeping secrets from me. Damn it! I'm so stupid." Jordan could not wrap his head around this level of betrayal. It was a concept so

"Two shots of tequila please" Maya asked the bartender."Black or silver?" He responded "Black" was her reply. She was sitting at the bar, watching as the scenery blurred by. The bartender placed two shot glasses on the counter separating them and skillfully flipped the tequila bottle only to tip its strong dark contents into the aforementioned glasses. Without saying a word, he placed the bottle on the shelf behind him and slid a shaker full of salt and a small plate filled with lemons. Maya briefly looked at him and gave a small smile. Returning the smile the bartender added a small wink and moved to serve another customer. From the opposite end of the cart that held the bar, the door slid open and Maya turned her focus to the sound. Reid walked in, in a

Reid had gone to bed with the biggest smile on his face, it really did grow ear to ear. He couldn't stop it, he was smiling so big that his cheeks ached at the movement. But that ache was all forgotten the moment he thought about why he was smiling so much. Maya was tucked by his side, innocently sleeping and everything was okay. They weren't fighting each other, they weren't fighting anyone. For the first time in what felt like months - but was probably a couple of weeks - Reid felt hope that Maya felt every bit intoxicated with him as he felt with her.Stealing one more glance at the beauty beside him, he adjust the pillow and fell into a peaceful slumber. Eyes tightly closed and everything fading to black, this was going to be the best sleep of his life. If only it lasted longer than two minutes. Reid was jolted awake by Maya jumping on the bed.

"Maya!" Reid yelled over the chaos, music was still pounding through the speakers and people were screaming for their lives. It was a gruesome scene, bodies laid all over the floor. Some people had died and others you could tell were pretending to be dead, trying their best not to make a move but anyone with eyes could see the heavy breathing and in some cases, bodies shaking out of fear. "You and Riley continue to look for Maya in here, Joel and I will look outside!" Jordan shouted at Reid "bring her back brother" With a nod and Riley following right behind him, Reid walked with sure steps and moved people out of his way trying to find his girl. They had had such a great night before all of this madness happened. But you see that's what Vermont does, that's what happened with Rosey. He waited till Reid was absolutely ena
