CHAPTER 2 - LOVE POINT MATCH "I love upstate, but it feels great to be back in the city," Tabor squeezed Shy's neck as he carried her up the stairs of his apartment. Her two legs hung over his forearm, a single small leg bounced with each step up on the stairs, the other outstretched in stiff plaster. She nuzzled her nose into his neck smelling his person...
Bella woke with a start. She was still for several moments trying to orient herself in the dark. When the evening's events rushed back into her sleep-deprived brain, her cheeks burned so hot she felt they must glow in the dark. She realized the heaviness in her body was not all in her body, but on it as well. She lay in a tangle of arms and legs, cocooned be...

Prince Stathis leaned against the kitchen's stone wall beside a window and watched the royal chef's assistants prepare the day's harvest of raspberries into jam with mild envy.

Edit: I initially posted this story in an incomplete format. This is the finished version with a more... satisfying(?) ending. If you haven't played the game, and intend to in the future, please play it FIRST, otherwise I will have spoiled the plotline for you. If you don't intend on playing it, I suggest you do, it's fantastic. This is my first fanfic, ba...

Author's note: Hello again! I've been a bit slower at getting this chapter out, due partly to a bout of bad health and not wanting to a repeat of what happened with the last chapter. That brings me to my second point of address; I realised too late (due to my own silliness) that I left behind some errors in the last chapter which may have confused some o...
Thanks to ThatEditorGuy for giving this story the eagle eye! ======================== The next day in Basic Tactics, I tried to speak to Janetta, but she glared at me briefly, and then deliberately ignored me.
