Gabriel Harp was one conspiring lady. I looked at this kid and realized instantly that she was trying to get me to move on from Maggie. Unfortunately for me, it was working to well. Dammit. This kid was beautiful, and I say kid because I'm in my early thirties and this guy looked like he was probably still in school. It didn't take away anything from his...
The feeling that he was being watched never left Will, always sensing a pair of hidden eyes evaluating his every move. Even in the supposed safety of Helios Grove, Will no longer felt completely safe. Being constantly on edge, always looking over his shoulder had made him emotionally exhausted. It had been three days since Dart's unexpected visit; three days...
The next day I woke up like I usually did. Went through my normal morning routine, as I got out of the shower, got dressed. I went to the kitchen to fix my morning meal of bacon, eggs, toast and coffee. I was surprised when Sue walked in to the kitchen, as she normally does not get up this early. She does not need to be at work for at least an hour and a hal...
Caleb lay on his side as he sleeplessly stared off into space. His eyes followed the particles of dust that occasionally danced through the light of the small bedside lamp that cast a dim yellow glow across the sparse furnishings of his cramped bedroom. He watched as each speck swirled and hovered in and out of his field of vision. He curled up, tucking hi...
When I woke, I noticed that I was in my bed. Last I remembered I was on the living room couch, listening to Corey. My mind shot up at the thought of Corey. Was he still here? I got out of bed, heading downstairs, hoping to see the sleeping form of someone on my couch, but it was empty. The idea that the whole of last night was a dream raced through my mind a...
************************** The young man began to tremble again, snuggling deeper into his arms with a barely audible gasp. Cooing softly, Ivan brought the blankets up around himself and his lover, taking a moment to caress Damien's cheek before wrapping his arm around the other again. Within minutes, he realized the trembling wasn't from the cold, Damien's...
"I'm sorry to bother you like this, Father James," Ethan Barnes said after easing down into the over-sized leather seat on the other side of the massive oak desk that his spiritual mentor was sitting behind. "Nonsense Ethan," Father James said, dismissing the young man's apology with a wave of his hand. "That's what I'm here for, and besides, if you can't t...
Marcel was doing his best to appear attentive as Anna gossiped heavily about her neighbours in the surrounding barony. Elizabeth's harp chimed beautifully beneath her pretty fingers, while giving out occasional discordant notes. David spoke softly to her, instructing and correcting the young woman in a low soothing voice that did not carry. A perfect complim...
Maddox watched Mark's slender fingers drag the paper towels through the coffee puddle. He could have sworn his heart was hammering loud enough for the entire class to hear. The memory of where those wonderful, swan-like hands had been the night before was still too fresh in his mind. Maddox's hands betrayed his nerves to his student. Trying to regain some fo...
A few days passed and things returned to their routine. Will spent many afternoons contemplating calling his parents, in an effort to reconcile their differences after the scene that occurred a few days prior, but every time he was close to it, he stopped. Sure he wanted things to be okay between them again, but his mother was right. He needed to give them s...
