His eyes seemed so young and gentle then. He took off his own illusion and revealed the mark on his hand. The gasp that filled the hal
The day of the gala, my stomach was a mess of excitement and nerves. Neil, Dominic, and I had spent days alone in my condo. And while we still hadn't gotten past. Feeling each other up over clothing, I was pretty satisfied. They seemed happy as well. Arielle, grandpa, and I arrived together in one o

The morning light filtered through gauzy curtains as I stirred beneath a blanket that smelled faintly like both Dominic and Neil: warm musk, pine, and something darker, like aged cedar and lightning.It was odd because I was certain that Neil hadn't joined us last night.I stretched, blinking into t

She was trembling so slightly, someone else might
