Noah The Unthinkable
VeronicaThat morning's call from Nellie's mom, Margaret, had been alarming enough. Nellie had caught Rick red-handed and was now in such a state of depression her mother refused to leave her alone, fearing Nellie might overdose on the sleeping pills she'd been taking. That alone was enough to send Veronica running to her side, but nothing prepared her for the shocking news that awaited her when she got there.Her mother had only said Nellie had confirmed her suspicions about Rick being on vacation with his mistress, but when she arrived at Nellie's, the details of what she'd found blew her away. Nellie's father sat just outside of Nellie's townhouse as Veronica hurried up the stairs.He was smoking, a habit Nellie had told her he stopped long ago. Veronica hadn't seen him in over a year, and in that time, he seemed to have aged too much. At the moment, he appeared tired, and there was a sense of defeat in the way he sat, his back against the chair, shoulders drawn and limp. Before
Noah He's There Now?
Veronica hesitated for a moment, not sure if she should step outside or invite him in. Against her better judgment, she opened the screen door and let him in. The thought of Noah arriving with him still there and things possibly getting ugly was a very real one. But if she had to make a choice between things getting loud or ugly inside the privacy of her own home or outside on her porch for all her neighbors to hear and see, she'd do this inside. Besides, her plan was to send him on his way quickly.She saw him glance around as he walked in, trying to get a feel for how much things had changed since he'd last been there, perhaps pick up more clues on her relationship with Noah.As rude as it was, Veronica didn't offer him something to drink. She wanted him out as soon as possible. He started apologizing again about the other day, but she stopped him."I'm not upset at you, Derek, so don't worry about it. I was a little surprised that's all.""Have you talked to him about it?""No
Noah The Confrontation
VeronicaMore concerned about the fact that Noah could have no way of knowing that Derek carried a gun, Veronica was not about to wait and see if he'd be provoked into using it."You gotta go," she said as she rushed into the front room where Derek now sat."Why? What happened?""I'll explain later, Derek, but right now you have to go." She opened the screen door and held it open for him.Derek stood up but didn't leave. He stared at Veronica concerned. "What's the matter with you?""Nothing!" Her heart beat faster with every second that passed and Derek was still in her house.He finally took a few steps toward her but obviously didn't share her urgency to leave. "Veronica, look at you. You're a mess. Let me guess. That was Noah and he's on his way home. What? Are you not allowed to have anyone here, or is it just me he doesn't want here?"Veronica didn't know why he was pretending he hadn't already figured it all out. She was surprised he hadn't pointed out the glow she'd wor
Noah Heartache
NoahThe fact that Roni would believe such a thing about him spoke volumes. It was so like Kratz to make his past sound worse than it really was, but the kicker was that Roni was so ready to believe him."So, let me see if I got this straight. This asshole comes back out of nowhere after walking out on you when your mother was dying, knowing he'd be leaving you all alone. Supposedly you're not interested in his ass anymore, even though months after you and him were through, you still had those fucking pictures up?"The more he thought about it, the heavier his chest felt. He wasn't sure what hurt more—the fact that she'd lied or that she'd bought this crock from a guy who obviously hadn't given a shit about her."You tell me you want nothing to do with him, but the moment you decide you need to broaden your social life, he's the first one you fucking call?" He knew his words were harsher than he'd ever spoken to her, but he couldn't help it. It hurt like hell to find out she obviou
Noah Us
VeronicaAfraid to say the wrong thing, Veronica chose her words carefully. She'd hated seeing him so hurt, and she was not about to say something that would hurt him again. She started walking to him. "So you're a dad?"He shook his head. "Nope. When she first told me, it scared the hell out of me. But then the more I thought about it, the more it hit me. I was going to have a child, my own flesh and blood. She said she didn't wanna have it. She was too young. That's when I dropped out of school. I told her I was getting a job and I'd raise the kid myself. She's the one that disappeared, not me. Her parents set out looking for me, sure that it was me she'd run away with, but I had no idea where she was either. The next time I saw her, she'd already had the abortion, and then she and her family moved away."Veronica didn't think her heart could break for him anymore than it already had. "Were you in love with her?" she asked as she reached him, touching his face.He shook his head
Noah ALL night . . .
Noah moved down, spreading her legs. Veronica brought her trembling hand to her mouth and fisted it, right before she felt it his hot mouth on her, sucking, his tongue teasing. The sensation was so amazing she could hardly stand it.Like that morning, he went slow now, driving her insane as the pleasure built quicker this time. She squirmed as his tongue went deeper, moving faster in such a perfect motion her entire body quivered in response. Her hips lifted of their own accord, and incredibly she felt his tongue go even deeper.What he did with his tongue so perfectly, driving her slowly then faster into a complete frenzy, was like nothing she could ever imagine. It was beyond pleasure. Her eyes rolled back as she swallowed hard, arching her back in response to his swirling tongue.His fingers spread her, and his mouth latched on to that perfect spot, making her moan loudly, shamelessly. She'd lost all sense of control, and she didn't even care. She panted riotously now as an explo
Noah Epilogue & Blurb of "Gio" Next in the series
Even though last year they'd spent the holidays together and it had been wonderful, technically this was their first Christmas together. Noah told Veronica that made it extra special, but she had an even bigger reason why it was.Picking out the tree this year had been so much easier than all the other years. Somehow she knew no matter what tree she picked, it'd be wonderful because it was their tree.They spent the day decorating the house, singing along to Christmas carols like they had last year. They were finishing up with the last touches of the tree, and Veronica brought out the box with the special tree topper."Ah, the very final touch," Noah said with a smile. "I'll get the stool for you.""Nope, no need," Veronica said, pulling out the crystal star."Why?" Noah slipped his arm around her waist. "Should I just lift you?""No, because you get to do the honors this year." Noah's panicked expression made her laugh. "What?""Me?""Uh huh." She nodded. "Remember the traditi
Noah Gio - The Offer
GIO PrologueThe bloody mouthpiece flying through the air in slow motion as Trinidad's lifeless body hit the floor was just one of the things from that day that would forever be seared into Giovanni Bravo's memory. The screaming was the other. The ref jumped in front of Gio as if he'd even think of still going after Trinidad.Trinidad lay there completely out, and within minutes, it was chaos. He wasn't breathing. The buzzing in Gio's ears got louder as the medics jumped into the ring and began trying resuscitation. People in the audience stood in motionless silence, most holding their hands to their mouths, looking as stunned as Gio felt. He froze where he stood, not even noticing that Abel and Jack stood by his side.They started CPR on Trinidad, pounding forcefully on his chest. That's when the screaming started. The paramedics placed him on a stretcher, continuing to pound on his chest. Trinidad's pregnant wife's screams grew louder as a few people struggled to hold her back
