“Knives only?”

“It was in the mall parking lot. I guess they didn’t want to create a scene, and gunshot wounds are an automatic report by hospital personnel. Knife wounds are not.”

The car is running when we reach it. Another security officer, Randolph, is at the wheel. He takes off as soon as the doors are closed.

Marco continues his debriefing. “There were four assailants. One died, two were injured badly. The fourth escaped in an unmarked black Ford. The two that are injured are at the hospital. I don’t know if we’ll be able to question them.”

“I take it despite the lack of gunshots, someone notified the police?”

“Yeah, a new intern trying to be helpful.”

“I’ll call Chief Jones.” I dial up the man that I give a million dollars to every year for precisely times like these.

“Ackles, it’s been a while.” The head of the police sounds wary.

“I don’t like to bother you as I know you’re a busy man.”

“So you only call for important matters?”

The chief has always been smart. “Precisely. The

    There’s no need to explain things. I did what I had to do. Downstairs, the mistress is in the kitchen wearing a robe and making coffee.“Do you have somewhere to go?” I ask. “Clean-up team will be here shortly.”She taps her spoon against the side of her mug. “Do I have to leave?”I consider her request for a moment. It’s not as if the crew will do anything worse than I’ve already done. They’re just here to erase the evidence. “No.”She gives me a sunny smile. “Then I’ll stay. It’s my home, after all. Why should I leave?”The home was the price of her silence. It was worth it. I give her a nod and make my way toward the door.“The girl you saved—the one Edward wanted—”At the door, I tense. “Yes?” I ask.“She okay? I heard Edward kind of beat her up. He was bragging about it.”I look over my shoulder with a grim smile. “Are you trying to get me to reanimate his corpse so I can kill him again?”The woman laughs. “Nah.

    Claude.I watch Aime close her eyes and hide the pain inside as she lets her body move to the music. For a moment she looks almost peaceful, but I know the hurt is simmering under the surface. It’s one I live with every day. A broken heart isn’t something that can always be healed. Sometimes the cracks never truly fill in.Hers are new, and I wonder if that makes a difference. She has people that love her and a life full of support with her family. They can give her what she needs to help lessen the pain. As for my scars, I was born with them. They’re a part of me, and there’s no healing them. Not that anyone has ever really tried.For me, it’s only a matter of hiding my past and for some reason, dancing is one of the only times the rest of the world melts away. When I’m listening to the music, I’m lost in a sea of bodies. It doesn’t matter who I am or where I’m from, we're all here to feel good.The music changes and my mind goes somewhere I don’t want it to. Him. The man with the bl

Why does it have to be so damn sexy?“I checked, and there’s not a waiting period after getting a license. We’ll do it all at once and then you can go back to class.”“This is like the world's shittiest proposal, you know that, right?”“But one you’ll always remember.” I don’t have time to react before we stop in front of a big SUV, and he opens the door for me. “Let’s move, baby, I need to get this locked in.”“Claude.” I look around like someone is going to come out and explain what the hell is going on.“Angelina.” He says my name in the same tone but grabs my hips to pull me closer. “Give me one reason we shouldn’t do this.”“Are you seriously asking me that question?

    The words must send him into a frenzy because after that, he’s on a mission to make me cum as many times as possible. Turns out that number is five before he finally allows himself to fall over the edge with me. His warm release in my belly makes me feel full and sated, even though I moan at the loss of him when he pulls out. I never thought I could crave that connection, but clearly I’m obsessed with my husband.We have a shower and then he helps me find clothes from the boxes that were dropped in the garage late last night. Once I’m ready for school, we ride together to campus, and it’s surreal. Yesterday at this time, I was thinking about Claude and then worrying about never being able to see him again. Now we’re married, and it’s like I’m living some kind of fairy tale without the shitty stepsisters.“I’ll be waiting on you right here after your class,” Claude says and pulls me in for another kiss. “Just one more.” He kisses me again and then groans. “Okay, this is the last one, I

    As if he can read my mind, a smirk pulls at his full lips.Someone steps in front of him, blocking my view. I don’t know if I’m thankful for that or not. It’s then I notice it’s Fenix. His eyes are focused fully on my sister. He looks almost angry. It’s then I realize it’s because she’s looking where I was looking. At the mystery man with green eyes. I can see jealousy written all over Fenix’s face.“Sweetheart, this is King Fenix,” I hear our mother say.I glance over at her and see she’s got a giant smile on her face. She’s all too happy to pass her daughter off so easily. She doesn’t care if Yena even wants to go. No, not my mother. I stare at her for a moment, and for the first time, I really feel hate for her.Lost in my reverie, I miss Fenix come flying across the room. He grabs Yena, who was tripping over her own shoes.

    “I should scream, shouldn’t I?”“Only if you want me to hurt you.”Fear races through me. “You’d hurt me?”He smiles. “Probably not.”“Probably?”“I can’t say I never would. If you asked me to, I’d say yes.” He takes off my shoes, catching me off guard by how gentle his hands are as he rolls my ankle, trying to examine the damage. A rather shocking display for the guy who told a dude he was capable of murder not too long ago.“You’re a little fucked up, huh?”He glances at me, his eyes a deep blue ocean in the middle of a storm. “You don’t even know half of it.”I shiver from both his stare and his touch.“Looks like it’s just twisted. Just keep off of it. It’ll be fine in a few days.”“Cool, I’ll just be on my way.” I move to get up, but he is lightning quick, pinning me down, both his arms caged around me.“I’ll take you home.”“No offense, big guy, but you just beat the shit out of a guy in front of me for no reason then manhandled my ass to get me into this cigar lounge of an offi

    CLARISSAAll week I’ve felt off, as if I should watch my back. Between school and helping my best friend Emily move her stuff out of her abusive ex-boyfriend’s apartment, life has taken a toll on me.These are the moments that I wished I had someone to lean on. A mom to go home to, and a dad to tell me it will all get better. The only person I have in life who knows me is Emily, and now she is hundreds of miles away in Utah, trying to put distance between herself and Roy.My back makes me want to scream as I get myself out of bed, remembering Roy’s rage. He wasn’t supposed to be home when we were clearing out, but just like any good abuser, they never keep to their promises and ache to have one more go at their victim. If having a sore back and being in pain means that my best friend is finally free of that lunatic, so be it.I walk over to get a cup of coffee started, when my buzzer goes off.

    “Open this door, you pussy.”“Fuck off.”“C’mon, let me in.”Zane sighed and cast a sour look toward the door but climbed to his feet nonetheless. He opened the door and returned to his tequila.“This is pathetic,” Vinceremarked, taking in the general disarray of the room and the Zane’s overall sense of self-loathing. “What is happening here? I can tell you what’s not happening — personal hygiene,” he said, waving away the stench of Zane’s unwashed body. “Jesus, open a damn window. You could choke an elephant.”Zane smirked, unmoved by his twin’s disgust. “I’ve resigned myself to wallowing in my own filth because it’s where I belong.”Vince rolled his eyes, irritated.“When did you grow ovaries? This is ridiculous. All this over one chick?”“She’s not just a chick!” Zaneshouted, slamming his fist down on the table so hard that the tequila nearly spilled. “She’s the mother of my daughter.Don’t you get it?” He stared hard at his twin, unable to contain his fury. “She’s the most amazi

    Fresh arousal stabbed her as he withdrew his finger and replaced it with the head of his cock. He began the slow push and sheopened for him, eager to feel him penetrate her completely. “Tell me your fantasies, love,” he said with a grunt of pleasure as he seated himself more fully inside her. She groaned, unable to form words as the sensation of being utterly impaled swamped her ability to think clearly. “Tell me how you dreamed of my cock…”“Every night,” she gasped, arching deeply to accommodate Zane’s length. “I fantasized about you fucking me, like this, just like you did before. Ohhh, Zane!”His thrusts became harder and her tightened, pearled nipples rubbed against the comforter, adding another layer of delicious sensation that nearly sent her tumbling over the edge. “Oh God, I can’t hold back!” she admitted, shocked by how quickly she’d reached the point of no return but Zane didn’t mind, in fact, he seemed just as wild to crash into that wall as she was.“That’s it, baby,” Za

Vince offered terrible counseland Dillon was busy with his own impending fatherhood.One person stood out in his mind but he was reluctant to go down that road for fear of what she’d say. But even as he feared this person’s honesty, he trusted her intuition unlike anyone else."Penny?" he asked when she answered the line. Her relieved sigh on the other told him volumes."It's about time you called. I thought I was going to give birth before you came to your senses. Now fill me in with the details; I want to know everything."By the time he’d finished, he felt emotionally drained.“Zane, don’t you see what theanswer is?” Penny asked.“If I knew the answer I wouldn’t be tied up in knots,” he grumbled. Wasn’t that obvious? “I

    If good intentions accounted for anything, Zane was a damn angel. He’d planned to stay in the hotel and watch Pay-Per-View or even catch up on his reading on his e-reader app on his smart phone but the minute he saw his twin grinning from the peephole, he knew his night was not going to be spent inside that room.“What are you doing here?” heasked Vince as he let him into the room. “I told you to stay home.”“Yeah, but I heard the yearning in your voice that practically begged for me to come and rescue you so get dressed, slap some cologne across your face and let’s see what’s shaking in this town.There’s sure to be a couple of hot bodies available for a little between the sheets action and I, for one, could use a little stress-relief.”“What happened to your planswith the sub and the dungeon?”“Penny happened,” Vince said wryly. “She found out and gave me a ration of shit for trying to drag Dillon out for a bit.

    She’s everything I never realized I wanted until I saw her little face. I can’t take the chance that you’ll change your mind when things get tough.” He was perplexed until she added, “When I found out I was pregnant, I knew it was yours because I hadn’t been with anyone else since. So I did a little checking around. It wasn’t hard to dig up some unflattering stuff.”“Like what?”“Are you sure you want to know?”At his determined nod, she continued,“You’re a player who likes to party all the time and you’ve left a string of broken hearts in your wake, as well as someone who killed herself off the roof of your building. I can’t expose my daughter to that life. You have to understand, I want a traditional upbringing for my daughter and you simply can’t provide that with your background and your lifestyle.”At the mention of Isabel, Zanefelt a wave of shame. Beatrice didn’t know the half of what’d happened with Isabel and he’d prefer to keep it that way.“I wouldn’t bring Dina to the cl

    Zane couldn't believe what hewas seeing. The entire drive to San Jose, he kept telling himself, this was all likely a ruse, some game to shake cash from his wallet. But as his gut tightened with instant recognition of the long-legged strawberry blonde, he remembered the night they’d spent together with frightening clarity. When she’d said names hadn’t been necessary, truthfully, he hadn't believed her. He’d figured after a little pillow time, she’d give up her identity — mystery solved. Girls always wanted a second round with a Mackenzie. And given how many times he'd made her squeal, he had arrogantly assumed she’d return begging for more. But that wasn't how the next morning had gone down at all."Where you going?" he asked sleepily when he realized she was no longer in the bed. He found her fully dressed and trying to find her shoes. "It's so early."She smiled and, having found her shoes under the bed, slipped them on her feet and grabbed her purse. "I had fun but it's time to go

Was this some sort of trick?There were plenty of people who wanted a piece of a Mackenzie, but only an idiot would stoop to something so easily disproved…unless it was no ruse and they had the DNA to back up their claim.Sweat dampened his brow and he wiped it away as he dropped the paper to the table and stalked away, needing a moment to collect himself.“You look as if you’ve just seen your past flash before you and you’reabout to fall over in a faint,” his twin brother Vince joked as they passed in the expansive hallway of their family home.When Zane didn’t offer a rejoining quip, Vince double-backed and followed him with a subtle frown. “What’s wrong?” he asked. “Is it Penny?

The twins might only be five, but they are well on their way to being their father’s size.They each grab one of my hands, pulling me into the house. Dylan follows us in. They are talking a mile a minute about their day, as Dylan suddenly picks me up and sits me on the kitchen counter.“How about we make Mommy dinner while you tell her all about the play you’re going to be in?”My ears perk up at that. “What kind of play? You’ll need costumes!” I start to slide off the counter and Dylan laughs.“Sit, Button.

Mark slides in next to me, not sitting down. I can feel his body heat and try my best to lean away from him. The smell of his cologne is overpowering.“What can I get you two?” the pretty bartender asks us.“I’ll have a whiskey; she’ll take a merlot,” he tells her, ordering for me.Gross. I hate wine. I don’t correct him or change my order. I wasn’t planning on drinking anyway.“Maybe the wine will do more than loosen you up,” Mark whispers against my ear, making me jump.
