A Desirable Mist.

After I finish closing the bakery up for the day, I place today’s unsold items into a box to be sent to the City Mission for the unfortunate. Then I make myself a cup of coffee and sit down at one of the tables in a lightly dimmed corner of the shop. I swipe my finger across the screen of my phone and unlock it. Tapping on the gallery icon, I tap on the folder that is filled with photos of me and Ryan. There is one photo in particular that I like to stare at because it's the most recent one I have of him. It’s the photo of Ryan sitting on the back of his pickup truck, shirtless, on the beach with a bottle of beer in his hand. Hues of amber, red, purple, and blue are splashed across the horizon, reflecting off the water in waves. Ryan looks like he is on top of the world – living his best life. His shoulder-length hair is tied into a man-bun, displaying his undercut. His green eyes glisten with joy and his straight pearly white teeth are on full display. I miss him. Gods, I mis

I'm Going To Hell Anyway.

I gag in response to his forceful act, but at the same time, I want more. I have never experienced anything like this. My sex life has always been on the vanilla side and this… with Tobias feels so… raw and animalistic, almost like I’m sinning, and it feels incredible. I always had a feeling that Tobias is a Lion in the bedroom, and I’d eventually hear him roar. Just the thought of him coming undone from the delicate assault of my lips encourages me to milk him for everything that he has. My cheeks hollow as I take in every inch of his throbbing cock, slowly swirling my tongue around the tip every time my head bobs up. When Tobias pulls back a little, allowing me to breathe, I moan, desperate for more like a dirty little slut that needs to be fucked into submission. “Are you certain you can handle more of me, kitten?” He asks gently, slipping his fingers beneath my chin, forcing me to meet his dazzling gaze. I nod slowly, wiping the corners of my mouth as I desperately want

If It Wasn't You, Then, Who?

I feel Tobias place his hands on my shoulders, and gently, he pushes me back, tearing his lips away from mine at the same time. “Before this goes any further, spitfire,” He mutters in a strained tone as if he’s battling to do the right thing by me. “We need to talk about that night.” Licking my lips, I sigh and take a step back, touching the back of my hand against my forehead. Well, that kiss didn't go according to plan now did it?“I’m afraid…” I whisper out loud. “Afraid about what?” Dropping my hand, I look deep into his blazing blue irises, “The truth.” Tobias’s gaze softens, and he nods his head slowly. “I’m afraid to tell you the truth, too, Keri.” He states firmly, which takes me by surprise. “We have wasted so much time being apart - you hating me and me pretending to hate you back.” Fine lines mar my brow line. “What do you mean by pretending? Are you trying to tell me that your being an ass hat was all an act?” I enquire as I attempt to determine what he means by

A Hero.

I settle back down into my chair after making us both a large cup of coffee each. It’s well after 10 p.m. and none of us are ready to leave until the truth has set us free. We both wrap our hands around our mugs, drawing from the warmth of our drinks like it has the power to comfort us. “Sawyer and I are… were," he quickly corrects himself and clears his throat. "Identical twins. The only characteristic that separated us was Sawyer's dimples. Girls gushed over him every time he flashed them with one of his cocky smirks.” He pauses with his gaze burning a hole into the tabletop as his brows crease. “It also turned out that older women weren’t immune to his good looks and charm either, once he turned thirteen. Especially my mother’s best friend.” He snarls while he picks up his mug, and brings it up to his lips. “It’s hot…” I exclaim, watching in horror as he takes a large sip of his scolding coffee. As the hot liquid travels down his throat, he hisses and slams the mug back down

Loving You Hurt Like Hell.

TOBIAS: I adore the woman that Keri has matured into as I stare at her in awe from across the table. I am aware that it cannot be easy for her to listen to my truths, and yet she remains by my side, offering me solace with her strength. Surprisingly, speaking with her is the easiest thing I've ever done in my entire existence. The words seem to flow effortlessly out of my mouth, and I do not feel the need to conceal or pretend that talking to her does not affect me emotionally. I don't consider myself to be less of a man, as my tears of heartache tarnish my features. If anything, I feel more liberated, and I seriously regret not having told her sooner. I have squandered so much time between us, and that’s solely on me because I was afraid to lose her indefinitely. “Do you truly believe that it was Sawyer with him that night?” My beautifully strong-willed wife asks me. I can sense her anguish slowly consuming her, and I wish I could take it all away. I wish I could era

You And Me.

Taking the key out of my ignition, I stare straight ahead at the house that has given me many memories to cherish and many more to loathe. Showing up like this, unannounced and uninvited to someone's place of residency, is so unlike me. But after hearing everything that Tobias had to say last night, I believe it is my duty to deliver an exceptional message to Janice from the branches of my heart. This entire time, I have been mad and holding a grudge against the wrong person. My jaw tightens as I toss the car keys into my bag, open the squeaky-as-hell door that could have a career in frightening movie sound effects, and exit my car while trying not to allow my anxieties to get the best of me and cause me to drive away. Tucking my hair behind my ears, I slide my bag over my shoulder and close my door, then I slowly make the journey to the top of the stairs that leads me to the front door of hell itself. I reach the top of the flight of stairs, and as I extend my hand, a blast o

Bernadette Is More Fitting.

“I’m not sorry,” I exclaim abruptly, observing as Janice lifts her hand to touch her blushing cheek, which bears the outline of my hand on her pale skin.She glares back at me with her mouth forming an O-like shape, her blue irises light up with rage.“How dare you come into my house and put your hands on me!” She shrieks with wide eyes, disgusted by my actions. “I will have you arrested for assault.”I snicker with my brows drawing together as I look at her in a whole new light.— She can’t be serious right now? — I think to myself.But I’ll call her bluff, it’s not like I have anything to lose anyway.“Go on then,” I spit out as I pull my phone out of my bag and hand it to her. “I think you should also inform the authorities about the officer and judge you paid off regarding my brother and Sawyer’s death while you have them on the phone. I’m also pretty adamant that they’ll be genuinely interested to hear all about your good old friend Eileen. Who sexually assaulted then pimped your

Like A Forbidden Love Letter.

All day, my mind has been a shambles. I have repeatedly replayed the conversations I had with Janice and Bernadette in my head, wishing I had the confidence to tell them where to go. I should have slapped Janice harder in the face so that my handprint would remain on her cheek for many days and cause her to remember me every time she looked in the mirror. But that's not who I am. Furthermore, I want to cry for Tobias's brother, Sawyer, whose existence I was unaware of until last night. Two lives were lost that night, but it appears that only one was mourned, and the other was merely a dirty secret that had to be concealed. They are the stains that ruin the lives of innocent people trying to make something out of nothing. I grit my teeth, irritated at the way Janice makes me feel. My heart has never felt so heavy with grief, yet simultaneously liberated from the shackles of torment and lies. It should confuse me, but my heart desires Tobias, so it doesn't. It pains me to know t

Am I Interrupting?

TOBIAS: I walk out of the bakery as quickly as I can. That conversation didn’t go as I planned, and I somehow managed to fuck everything up, like I always do. Keri has been through hell and I can’t keep dragging her through it because of my demons. I didn’t want to believe in love. Never wanted it. I can’t see the practical value and, to be completely honest, I was doing just fine without it. Until I went back into my past and started to look for Keri. My mind told me I didn’t need her, but my heart was telling me the opposite. Her smile, her strength, her intelligence, and her compassion. I missed it all. Even her stubbornness and hard-headedness with that quick tongue of hers. She fills the part of my soul I always thought would remain empty. Keri heals the scars I bear and those I never knew existed. It’s not that I didn’t want to believe in love. I’ve just subconsciously been saving it all for her. But my love comes at a price. There is a secret she isn’t aware o

I Need Money.

TOBIAS: What the hell is Keri doing showing up at my office at this time of the night? I think to myself, needing to stop Keri from leaving without giving her an explanation of the shit show she just walked in on. As Keri takes the elevator, I take the stairs, running down them two at a time. I have to stop her and convince her that what she walked in on was Bernadette trying her best to seduce me. I had given her strict orders to go home once she was done at the bakery, and yet, I can’t suppress the feeling enough that she must have gone home to change because she showed up in a trench coat with red stilettos and a small box in her hand. Did she bring treats from her bakery? I don’t deserve her kindness. Fuck… I don’t deserve her altogether! My hands curl into fists as I replay what just happened. I put myself in Keri’s shoes; she has every right to think the worst of me. It’s not like I have been honest with her from the get-go and if I had walked into the bakery unannounce
