"Help! Somebody, help me!"

The desperate cry snaps my head around, but I don't see anyone in the back of the flooded cabin. Where is that voice coming from? The rising water laps at my thighs, urging me to get out now.

Pounding accompanies the shouts. "Help me! Please, help!"

I zero in on the sound, my eyes widening. "Oh my God." He must be trapped in the crushed lavatory, the door wedged shut by a serving cart and debris carried in by the current.

I charge forward, icy water hitting my chest. The cries have stopped, but I spot fingers clinging to the door frame beneath the surface. He's completely submerged. I have to get him out of there!

"Hold on!" I scan desperately for something to pry the door open. There - a jagged piece of seat armrest. Heart pounding, I jam it into the crack and throw all my weight against it. Water pours in relentlessly as the horrific image of watching someone drown right in front of me floods my veins with inhuman strength. Running for help would

    GraysonWhen I ease the door open, my eyes quickly scan the busy corridors filled with passengers steadily making their way toward their departure gates others a place to grab a bite before their flight. But what I’m looking for is anyone specifically looking this way, checking the door numbers. It could be anyone and they’ll likely be pulling along carry-on bag so as not to look too conspicuous.While I couldn’t easily bring along a weapon for this expedition, they no doubt will be armed. The Obsidian knows how to get past something as vulnerable as US airport security. How many of the bag handlers and custodial staff are on the dole with plenty of places to hide small pieces of weaponry that can easily be reassembled on the other side?I spotted them! A male and female dressed in typical travel attire, the guy’s wearing a baseball cap with shades on top. As casual as they try to appear, their eyes keep darting toward the doors. The woman keeps glancing from her cell phone screen to

    AbigailThe last hour and a half are all a hazy fog to me. I find myself back at Miami International Airport sitting at a gate waiting for our flight back to New York. Grayson must have led me by the hand because I don’t recall a single step of the path here.Time had stood still for the moment Yacine uttered the words, “I’m not your mother.”“Abby,” Grayson has squatted down before me speaking to me like I’m a mental patient. “I got us a private room to wait in, so you don’t have to deal with all this raucous on top of everything else.”I nod complacently. They’ll give us a direct call when it’s time for our flight to begin boarding. Grayson secures my carry-on on top of his and pulls them both along behind us. True to his word, he’s been here for me leading me through when I couldn’t see my way forward. But Grayson is an Obsidian Knight.Yacine’s bitter words ring out in my ears. “Those Obsidian Knights, don’t trust a single one of them. Especially not the handsome devils. They’re

    GraysonWe touched down in Miami at 5:05 pm and not a moment too soon. I think the news about Abigail’s mother hit her pretty hard and when she ordered her second scotch, I discreetly finished it off for her so she wouldn’t be too inebriated while meeting her mother for the first time since she was a baby.We quickly make our way to ground transportation where our driver awaits us holding up a sign. We hop in the car, preferring to allow a native of the city to navigate the busy streets of Miami. I suggested we check into the hotel first to freshen up and to get a little coffee into Abigail to clear her head. The meeting will be difficult enough without the buzz of alcohol clouding things.I admit the whole situation surrounding Luther’s second marriage has piqued my curiosity. It was such a short-lived thing and with their child being sent off to boarding school it seemed a moot point not bearing any scrutiny.But Abigail has raised some rather intriguing questions. Why did Luther le

    AbigailIt’s Tuesday morning, the first day I’ve awakened since Friday without Grayson Bennett in my bed. My mind is still reeling from this weekend, and my body has a pleasant ache one might have after running a marathon. Everything was so surreal, from Grayson showing up unannounced at my door to him admitting he had deep feelings for me and all the earth-shattering sex.Holy fuck! That man seriously rocked my world repeatedly in the bedroom, the shower, the living room, and the kitchen. The things he did with those hands, those fingers, his mouth…oh, the things he did with his tongue should be illegal it was so good. Don’t even get me started on the big, luscious cock of his. Jesus, I think it’ll be a whole week before I can walk straight again. Not surprisingly, you don’t become an Obsidian Knight without knowing how to use every inch of your mind and body for whatever purpose you require of it. Whether it be a cunning warrior, an erudite, or a superb lover.Suffice it to say, thi

    GraysonAbigail’s eyes lock with mine, and it’s like I’ve been hit by a thunderbolt. Damn it! I’d hoped seeing her again would be a huge disappointment, that I’d see that I’d made far more of it in my head than it really was.But seeing her now, the way her eyes lit up at the sight of me and the way my breath caught in my throat, I know this is far more than I ever bargained for.“Grayson?” she says, standing there, hand clutched around the handle of a roll-away carry-on bag.“I’ve come at a bad time, I should’ve called first.”She follows my gaze. “Oh, no, it’s fine,” she says, pushing the bag out of the way like it’s suddenly a horrible nuisance. “It’s nothing that can’t wait.” “Aren’t you headed for the airport?” I ask, gesturing at her carry-on luggage. “I don’t want you to miss your flight.”She bats a hand at me. “I was early any—” she pauses, closing her eyes a second as if rethinking what she was going to say. She sighs, “I was on my way to see my mother, but she’s not expect

    AbigailThe dreaded moment arrives, feeling like I'm plummeting to the ground in a busted airplane.Anguish mars Grayson's face, making me want to cry, knowing I caused it. He doesn't even know the worst yet."Grayson," my voice trembles, "I never meant to deceive you. I never expected to develop feelings for you.""Who are you?" he repeats, muscles coiled with tension.Words tumble out, "I was afraid to tell you, didn't know how you'd react. I never thought we'd become involved. I'm so sorry, but please believe me. I never meant to trick or deceive you."He steps forward threateningly, forcing me back. I nearly trip over a tree root before regaining balance. "Who the fuck are you? Just tell me!" he yells in my face."I'm Abigail…" I lower my gaze, unable to bear the baleful look in his angry green eyes. "Abigail Harrison.""Harrison," he growls, then goes quiet. I dare to lift my eyes. He scrutinizes my face, his twisting with pure, unadulterated hatred. "You're Luther Harrison's dau
