All Chapters of The Intrigued Trilogy: Chapter 11 - Chapter 20

GraceI woke up with a start to find my phone ringing on the bedside table.I rubbed the sleep from my eyes and looked at my clock to find it was 3.39 am. The lights were off in my apartment and I’d closed off all windows except one so the air could circulate and keep the room cool. It was already mid November; winter was just around the corner.I reached over to grab my phone from the bedside table bedside table and answered it without looking at the screen. “Hello.” I yawned.“Sorry for waking you up. I just had to come see you.”I shot up in bed. “You’re here? Now?”“Look out your balcony.”I pushed the blanket off me and stood with shaky feet. I was wide awake as I opened the balcony door and walked out into the chilly night air. Looking down over the railing, I saw the familiar mop of midnight hair leaning against the side of his silver Sedan.&ld

GraceI wiped the blood away from Daniel’s hand with a cotton swab and placed the stained swab into a disposable plastic bag along with ten other swabs. There had been two large chunks stuck to his hand and another three smaller ones and right now, I was making a temporary bandage so Daniel doesn’t bleed out while his personal Physician arrives.“Grace, I think you should go over to your friends’ place right now. She’s hurt; she’ll need you there.” Daniel said for the nth time. We were back in Daniel’s living room, me sitting on the coffee table while Daniel sat on the couch so I could clean up his hand properly.“Daniel, shut up and let me bandage you!” I snapped at him, but my hands shook; my vision hazy with unshed tears. He’d lost a lot of blood and it wasn’t stopping. He needed to get stitches and fast. Where on Earth is his doctor?“Grace.” Daniel pl

GraceIt was two thirty five in the afternoon when I got off the cab I’d hired to get back to my apartment.  I’d not only stayed the night at Ken’s place, but we’d even slept in and had a huge brunch with Ty ordering for a home delivery. At the rate we’ve been having junk food since last night, I’m pretty sure I’ve gained at least five pounds.I paid the cabbie and made my way up my apartment. As I climbed up the stairs, I could hear two very familiar male voices coming from my floor. I hurried upstairs, careful not to trip on the stairs with my high heels on and my suspicions were confirmed when I saw Daniel in a white shirt that defines his muscles, paired with navy blue pants, leaning against my door, talking to a brunette haired, emerald eyed man standing opposite to him wearing a red t-shirt and black jeans.“Tory?!” I screamed before jumping into his arms.Tory was like a ma

Enigma Synopsis: Enigma; a person or thing that is mysterious and difficult to understand. A mystery; a paradox; a puzzle. Event Planner and boss of her own little company, Kendra Millar is all that and more. She lives life on her own terms, does what she wants, how she wants and when she wants. She’s like the wild winds of a stormy night that you can see but can’t touch. But no one really knows who the real Kendra Millar is, not even her closest friends. Only one man had come dangerously close to knowing her and she’s pushed him away with all her might. Victor Summers might be the baby of the family, but he’s seen what even his sister had failed to notice. From the instant he’d laid eyes on Kendra Crazy Millar, he’d known she was the one. But not only has she broken his fragile young heart, she’d made sure to trample on his hope of ever having a future with her. But now, after two years of running from the inevitable

Chapter 20: Twice OwnedKendra’ P.O.V:I felt my back hit a wall as I felt a hard, muscular body press against mine. Instinctively, I raised my knee to bash in his balls...that is until I met eyes of startling green looking back at me.My heart nearly burst out of my chest.“I’m going to move my hand, but if you scream, I’ll kiss you.” That threat held a stream of wickedness which I didn’t know he had in him.“What are you doing Tory?” I asked through gritted teeth as soon as he removed his hand.He made a face at me. “My sister calls me Tory; I’d prefer Victor from you.”“Why,” I gave him a loopside smile that I knew men loved, while at the same time I gently moved my hands up his sides. I saw him give an involuntary shudder and felt an unexpected sense of satisfaction. “Does that make you feel older...kiddo?”
