KarinaMarch"Do you have everything we're taking?" I ask Caleb and Mason as we grab bags we're taking to a Moonshine Task Force lunch.I've never been to one of these before, but Violet told me a little of what would be going on. All the families are invited, and everybody gets to hang out with each other, without having to worry about working. Apparently, they try to have them once or twice a year, and it started after Trevor got hurt. Last night I was up late making potato salad and two different cakes. No matter if I'm tired this morning or not, it made me feel like a member of the team. I never had that sense of community with Braxton, or even with my own family, but here, I'm comfortable enough to pitch in and help whenever it's needed. "Yeah." Mason holds up the bag he's carrying, nodding to Caleb who has the two cakes in his hands. "Okay, let me grab the paper plates, and then we can be on our way.""I thought Violet was bringing the plates," Mason yells over his

KarinaAprilToday has been the longest day of the semester, I'm totally sure of that, and it's probably because Spring Break is right around the corner. It's sorely needed all the way around. From me to the kids, to the other teachers – I think we're all burnt out. One more week and I get to spend all Mason's free time with him. To say I'm giddy is an understatement. Lately things have kept us apart, and I need all the time with him I can get.One more week – that's the mantra I keep repeating. I know it's bad. I love my job, really I do, but every once in a while the stress gets to me.As I exit the school and head toward the teacher's lot, I notice someone lying against the concrete sign in the quad that sits in front of the school. From where I am, I can only see shoes, but immediately I'm on edge. Hurrying along, pulling the strap of my purse up around my shoulder as I get to a position I can see. It's one of Caleb's teammates, Maddox, better known as Dox. He's one of t

Menace"I swear to God, Mason, if you spray me with that water hose, it's on." Karina gives me a menacing (no pun intended) look. It's almost enough to make me want to spray her, just to see what she may do. Sometimes she's all talk, other times she's a force to be reckoned with.A smile plays on the corners of my lips, as I hold my finger off the trigger of the hose we're using to wash her car. My tone, and look, is innocent. "Would I spray you on purpose?"Her head tilts to the side, looking like she's trying to tell if I'm a calculating bastard today or not. "Given that it's the bowels of hell hot out here, I should be begging you to spray me, but I don't feel like having a wet t-shirt contest." She gestures down to the white tank top she's wearing.Truth be told, I'm not into letting my neighbors see what's mine either. Never been the kind of guy who likes others to see what I have. Needless to say, I've never had and never wanted a threesome, which has, believe or not, bee

MenaceMaySitting under the heat of the late-May sun in my backyard, I watch the group of friends that have become family congregate. All of the MTF, and a whole slew of Caleb's friends have come to celebrate his graduation. "The sides are all set out," Rina swoops in to sit next to me. She's wearing a pair of cut-off shorts and a shirt that reads Property of the MTF. I have to completely agree with the sentiment. "You and Holden just need to get the grills going."I reach over, grabbing her up and sitting her on my lap. She puts her arms around my neck and leans in close. "You okay?""Hittin' me hard today," I admit as I look over, seeing Caleb sit with a few friends and Jess. "He's not going to be here much longer."She kisses me on the cheek as she crosses her legs. It's the most comfortable thing in the world for me to put my hands on her thighs and hold her tightly to me. "He's going to be fine, Mason. You raised a good son, you have nothing to worry about. You're go

KarinaBeginning of JuneMonths ago when I accepted a request for a message from Mason Harrison on the dating app I'd recently signed up for; I couldn't have imagined this was where I'd be. Standing in his driveway, fighting to hold back tears as Caleb, the child I never knew I wanted, prepares to leave for college. Beside me, Mason is tense as we try to avert our eyes from the heartbreaking scene going on in front of us. Caleb is leaving for the University of Alabama today, and Jess leaves for Ole Miss two days from now. I'm not sure what the future holds for the couple, but it'll be almost impossible with them both on scholarships, to be able to keep their relationship going.They spent the whole night out with one another last night, only showing up here at six-thirty a.m., to fall asleep on the couch wrapped up in each other's arms. When I woke them up at eight, because Caleb has to be in Tuscaloosa at noon, the stark sadness on both of their faces almost killed me."I know

MenaceJuneKarina is meeting up with some of her fellow teachers today at the high school. She mentioned something about helping to purge and clean some of the older rooms. They've been doing it for a while, a couple of the times some of the guys from the police department have been asked to go out and help move stuff, but I've never been one of them.She looks cute as she's ready for her day, with her hair pulled back in braids, a hat over her head, a pair of old shorts, and one of my old t-shirts. I reach up, tugging on one of the braids. "Have fun today."She gives me a look, one that says kiss my ass, before she grabs me around the waist."I'll see you later." She kisses me, squeezing the flesh of my stomach, before we part ways for the day. "Tell Caleb I miss him. I hope you two have a great day together.""Ouch woman, that fuckin' hurt." I rub my side where she'd grabbed my fat."That'll teach you to pull on my hair."I give her a hot grin. "Sometimes you like it

MenaceKarina's head on my chest with her arms wrapped around my waist is my favorite place to be. Here, I don't worry about what Caleb's doing. If he's eating, if he's sleeping, are his coaches and teammates giving him a hard time, is he screwing around with girls he shouldn't be? I don't worry about what's going on in this town with the moonshine business. My brain isn't traveling fifty thousand miles an hour trying to unravel the mystery of how the moonshine is in the school. For the brief moments she's in my arms and I'm in hers, my brain is quiet, my thoughts are peaceful. The only thing I think about is how good it feels to have a partner. How warm and loved I feel with her beside me. It's an emotion I'd never known until I'd met her."You're quiet," she comments as she runs her foot up my leg."Just thinking." I roll over so that we're now facing each other, holding her in my arms."What are you thinking?" She smiles, running her finger along my jawline. Those green eyes

KarinaJulyThere have been a lot of times in my life when I imagined my wedding day, especially when I was engaged before. That day was supposed to be the most magical day of my life. It had been planned for almost a year. The dress had cost more than I'd been able to afford, but it had been a gift from my parents, and the honeymoon was more than my yearly salary. That had been a gift from his parents. I still wonder to this day if they'd known what was going on. If that had been their way of trying to buy me off. I should have known something was up when they'd been all too eager to spend what could have been a down payment on a nice home to send us away. All of that though, it pales in comparison to what this day means to me. Last week when Mason had asked me to marry him, I'd imagined a long engagement. I'd thought maybe we'd get married next summer before Caleb started workouts for next year, but the more I'd thought about it, the more I realized I didn't want to wait. W
