Fateful Collision

It was futile for him to try to fight what was clearly going to happen, so he just laid his head on his knees and shut his eyes. How long had he been held captive in this particular location? A year? Two? He was completely unaware of the passing of time. Because there were no windows in the cellar, there was no way to tell whether it was the summer or the winter. He felt the constant chill of the floor beneath him.He blocked out the sound of the woman sobbing next to him in his imagination. Women. They had always been the cause of his problems, beginning with his mother, who had deserted him when he was thirteen, and culminating with the cruel woman who had taken his mortal life and transformed him into a monster. He had always blamed them for his problems.He had made the mistake of putting his faith in a long series of different women, including Raquel. He thought about the notion that she was probably going to be the final person in a morbid way.The aroma of the unfortunate creat

"You promise?" Gwen asked, her resolve slipping."Okay, let's move quickly and get changed so we can get there."Gwen was worn out from the argument, so she dashed into her bedroom. She shrugged out of her jeans and sweater and put on a long-sleeved white silk shirt, a short black skirt, black leggings, and a pair of knee-high black boots that had cost her a month's pay but were well worth the investment. Her new outfit was complete.When Gwen came back into the living room, Melissa broke into a smile. "You're going to put an end to that.""Are you kidding me?""Cheer up, girlfriend. It's possible that a shot or two of firewater will bring out the glint in your eye and the bounce in your step.Gwen gave a sarcastic scowl in response to the reference to firewater. Although she didn't do it very frequently, Melissa couldn't help but bring up Gwen's Lakota ancestry every once in a while when she just couldn't help herself.Melissa took a step toward the door, then halted and looked back

As he reached for her, he smiled and his chains made a rattling sound. During their embrace, she was aware of the strength that emanated from his arms. He did nothing but hold her for what seemed like an eternity, his eyes never leaving hers. As his palm traced a path up and down her back, then slid over her shoulder and began to massage the rim of her breast, she became acutely aware of the sensations that were taking place within her.She attempted to push him away when he claimed her lips with his, but any idea of resistance or thought at all gone as his mouth closed over hers as he captured her lips with his. She was taken aback by how much she enjoyed his kiss. After all, he was a vampire, yet his kiss was unlike anything that she had ever experienced before. As she pulled him closer, her fingers became entangled in the hair around his nape, and she was suddenly and irrationally eager for the sensation of his body pressing against hers.She let out a quiet murmur when he removed

She moved her focus away from the confines of the jail and started walking about the room. When she was in her wolf form, she had teeth and claws as sharp as razors, as well as improved physical strength. In addition to that, Phil possessed incredibly strong teeth. In addition, she was aware that he possessed supernatural abilities that she did not possess, as well as the capacity to read her mind. When she was in her wolf form, would he still be able to understand what she was thinking? If this were the case, then she would be at a significant disadvantage because he would be aware of her plans before she carried them out.She let out a sigh as she lowered herself to the ground and sat down. She drew her knees to her chest and placed her forehead on her arms while closing her eyes. Her knees were bent at an angle. How lonesome the days were when there was no one to talk to and nothing to do other than think about what the future might hold. She often wondered whether the next breath

If there was a chance that she had left the door open, she would bite the inside of her lower lip. She had no choice but to refrain from putting Phil in such jeopardy. After being gone for such a long time, it was highly improbable that anyone was looking for him, and no one would have expected him to be here. Still … She was chewing on her thumbnail while her stomach made a loud rumbling sound the whole time. It would be quite some time before he awoke. Darn it. She was unable to go till the sun went down.She heaved a sigh of aggravation as she reached for a book on the shelf, removed it, brushed off the dust, and thought to herself that it was a shame she couldn't just devour the pages.Phil awoke just as the sun was beginning to set. A check to the left revealed that he was the only one sleeping in the bed. So, where was Gwen all this time? He sat up and took a deep sniff of the air. Just as he was beginning to feel tense, he heard the distant sound of her breathing coming from th
