Mag-log inThe sound of her heels echoed softly against the floor, swallowed whole by the sterile silence of the prison hallway. Each step felt like it was slowly bringing her closer to hell, but her back stayed straight and her head stayed high. She passed rows of locked doors, steel bars and bored guards, an
Three Months Later The fabric was soft against my skin, and so breathtaking that I couldn’t take my eyes off it. I sat in front of the vanity, my hands folded in my lap and trying to breathe evenly as the stylist added one final pin to my hair. I'd always thought I'd cry on my wedding day, but I ha
I was still holding Ethan's hand when the door creaked open again. At first, I thought it was a nurse or maybe a detective back with some update about Marcus's arraignment. But then I saw a cane, and a face I hadn't expected to ever see again. Richard Jones. Ethan froze beside me as he stepped int

I wouldn’t consider myself a daring person. I have never been one to do something so spontaneous and out of the ordinary. I’m not a rule breaker. But there was something so unbelievably hot about being in the bathroom with Ethan, with my arms around his shoulders and my legs wrapped around his wais
Convincing Rachel to come with me was a huge task after the conversation we had earlier. But when I finally managed to convince her, she just wouldn’t stop asking so many questions about the guy she was going to meet. “Is he tall?” she asked as we sat in the back of our Uber. “I don’t know.”“I ho
“Fuck!” he groaned. “You’re so beautiful.”He stepped forward and kissed me lightly, his lips barely grazing my lips while his hands stopped on my inner thighs. His fingers were delicate, and every move he made was measured and precise. There was a sharp clarity about everything he did, almost as if
