ASHER I'd performed in front of millions of people, won three acting awards, and done my own stunts in a movie where I nearly died twice. But standing in this room waiting to get married, I was more terrified than I'd ever been in my entire life. Ten dates. That's what I'd told Paige we neede
When my parents came back from their conference, Damon told me he wanted our families to know about our relationship officially. I was nervous, but I agreed. The next evening, everyone gathered in the main living room. My parents, Aunt Sky and her husband, Victor, Ella, Asher and his new girlf

Humming under my breath, I rummaged through the kitchen, throwing ingredients together as if I had been born for this. A little flour, some eggs, peanut butter, mashed bananas. The sweet smell filled the air quickly, and I told myself this was it.... the beginning of my new life as Asher’s true moth
"Lucian...." She moaned. "Let me take care of you." I whispered. I didn’t move, my lips brushing her skin. "Let me make you feel good. That’s all I want. Just relax." She hesitated, and for a brief moment, I thought she would run. But she didn’t. She stayed. Her eyes closed again. Her lips par
ESSENCE Slapping Vesper felt better than I imagined. Scratch that... it felt glorious. It wasn't the first time, yes, but it was different. I didn't just slap her for myself; I slapped her for every insult she ever threw at me, every time she laughed when Alex humiliated me, and every single secon
REMI After Alex stormed out of the house, I sat alone on the couch, clenching my fists as bitterness boiled in my chest. Everything was spiraling out of control, and the cause of it all... Essence....was still breathing. Vesper, who had been silent for a while, finally pulled herself off the flo
