12:49 am Ada swore and slapped the back of her thigh, aiming for the crawling thing, whatever it was. Damn camping, anyway. She couldn't see a blessed thing out here, but she sure could feel the creepy crawlies doing their thing. Ugh. She was really too tired to get up and find a flashlight and even try to figure out where the bug was, but it was starting t...
The ride to town is a long one. I sat in the middle, between Grayson and River, messing with an old iPod shuffle that plugged into the radio via cassette adapter. The iPod was a throw back from their college days and it was exciting to see what kind of music Grayson liked. Apparently, he is a 90s punk and grunge lover. The playlists are filled with Sublime,...
I woke up to a slow burn baking the insides of my lower belly. Grayson's chest pushed against my bare back. His arm left a searing trail where it laid against my side leading to his hand, which was cupping my breast. The more I woke up, the hotter the blaze inside me burned until I felt my pupils dilate and my wolf brushed against the inside of my mind, burs...

Inside Kyle could see several rows of what must have served the function of seats for the builders of the shuttle and each of them was still occupied by a body of an alien. He could easily see the occupants of the shuttle were nothing like humans and he could also see that they were all dead. The occupants of the shuttle were all dead and they appeared to ha...
This can't be happening. Not now. Not here. It was starting to rain and it was getting dark. My old VW Bug sputtered and chugged along the unfamiliar road. I looked around at the dark buildings on the street. Why did this have to happen to me? Then I saw a light at the end of the block. Oh, thank goodness, I thought as I pulled into the lot just as my Bug ga...
We were vacationing at the condo on the beach that we rented every year. We had returned from our morning walk and were relaxing, listening to the waves crashing on shore and checking out the people walking by before lunch. We decided my husband would go for takeout as I tanned on the balcony, he normally would be gone for 1-1 1/2 hours. Trying to reduce my...
Author's Note: After being posted, I discovered that in the previous chapter the character of Tala's name was changed to Talia, by my editor and I didn't notice it at the time. This was my mistake since Talia Ra Ghul and Tala are two separate characters, just with similar names. I apologize for any confusion. Also, I would like to thank dragonknightleader f...
*** Excerpts from Stephanie's Research Diary August 12: Today, at the base of a tree, Jacob found a nest with a completely new species of beetle. It's large enough to fill up most of the palm of my hand. They occasionally release a small dose of a sweet-smelling pink pollen-like substance. Jacobson inhaled most of a dose when he first found them, which pro...
Firefight in the Wilderness As the agents disappeared down the trail from our lunch spot in the narrow canyon, Marsha crawled between my legs and leaned back. "Am I supposed to be scared?" I wrapped my arms around her and kissed the side of her face. "Not when your strong silent boyfriend is holding you tight." She turned around, pushed me down and kissed...
