Ayla

A faint echo of salt and skin still lingered on my mouth. The taste of him thick and fading even as his body kept moving above mine. He thrust again and again and again. Each push steady. Mechanical. The wet slap of flesh against flesh filled the small room like a clock that had forgotten how to tell time. I was filled. Stretched open around the familiar girth of him. Yet the fullness brought no satisfaction. Only a hollow ache that settled deeper with every stroke. As though my body had l

  • The Dire Girl   Chapter 21: Last Orders

    Garrick The whisky burns more than it used to.That feels like the sort of insult age specialises in. Not the grand humiliations. Those come later, if you are unlucky enough to live that long. No, age prefers the smaller mockeries. The shoulder that tightens in the cold. The knee that reminds you of every old fight when rain is coming. The familiar drink that once settled into your chest like a companion and now catches in your throat like a reprimand. Even good liquor grows sharper with a man when his body has begun keeping count.I sit alone in the office above the garage with the glass heavy in my hand and the light overhead turning everything the colour of old teeth. The room smells of paper, cigar smoke, engine oil, and the stale ghost of too many late nights spent convincing myself I still know what I am doing. My shoulder aches. My ribs ache. The scar along my side, the one Elara used to touch with two fingers when she wanted to remind me I was not indestructible, has started

  • The Dire Girl   Chapter 20: Under A Moonlit Sky (Part 2)

    Selene His left hand caught both of mine and dragged them up over my head in one smooth motion. He pinned my wrists to the cold metal of the fence with a single grip hard enough that the rust bit into my skin like tiny teeth. I sucked in a breath startled by the sudden strength in him. Finn easy, laughing Finn held me there like I weighed nothing like my body was simply his to arrange. The surprise of it slid straight between my legs hot and liquid pooling thick and sweet at the very core of me.His right hand dropped without ceremony. Straight down. No teasing, no hesitation. He shoved it beneath the waistband of my jeans under the thin cotton of my underwear and cupped me fully. His fingers parted my folds without asking the heel of his palm, grinding slow and deliberate against my swollen clit while two thick fingers stroked the slick length of my labia spreading the wetness already leaking out of me in shameful eager pulses. The night air tasted of rust and distant smoke but all

  • The Dire Girl   Chapter 19: Under A Moonlit Sky (Part 1)

    Selene By the time Lucas left, I was too drunk to cry and far too angry to let that stop me wanting to.That was the humiliation of it. Not merely that he had turned cold on me, though he had. Not merely that he had looked through me with all that damned control of his, as if I were some part of the life he was meant to inherit but had suddenly forgotten how to reach for. No, the true insult was that even after it, even with the whole ugly shape of his distance sitting plainly in my chest, some part of me still wanted him to come after me. To find me at the edge of the yard, take the glass from my hand, tell me I was being ridiculous, kiss me hard enough that the whole thing became irrelevant. I hated him for not doing it. Hated myself more for still expecting it.The pack had sunk deeper into drink after his row with Garrick. No one said much directly, not where it could be heard cleanly and repeated later, but the tension had changed flavour. Before, it had been grief and memory an

  • The Dire Girl   Chapter 18: Pack for Life

    LucasBy the time the night had settled properly over the yard, the pack had begun to slide out of remembrance and into that heavier, meaner place where grief and drink stopped holding one another upright and began to drag each other sideways instead.The barrel fires had burned lower now, their flames less eager, the metal rims glowing dull orange where heat still held. Every so often someone kicked the side of one or fed it another splinter of wood and the fire would leap up hard enough to catch faces in a sudden wash of amber before shrinking again. Bottles had multiplied. So had voices. Not louder in any simple way, but looser. Less guarded. That was always the danger with wolves and drink. Humans softened around the edges when they had too much. Wolves became truer in the worst sense of the word. Whatever lived nearest the bone rose quicker. Memory. resentment. hunger. loyalty. All of it given less distance to travel before it reached the mouth.The yard smelled of whiskey, beer,

  • The Dire Girl   Chapter 17: Half Truth

    AylaBy the time I left the garage for the second time that night, I felt as though something inside me had been peeled back too far and left raw to the air.The humiliation of it stayed hot beneath my skin long after the cold should have killed it. Lucas’s voice, harder than I had expected it to be. Garrick’s refusal, even now, sitting inside me with that same immovable finality. Vlad’s face when he admitted what he was. The whole night had become a long lesson in being turned away by people I had, for one reason or another, wanted something from. Help. Safety. Decency. The stupid human comfort of not standing alone in the middle of something too large and vicious to understand. And every time I reached for any of it, I seemed to come back with less than I had before.The streets had thinned by then, emptied down into that strange, suspended state cities reached after midnight, when everything looked both more intimate and more dangerous because there were fewer witnesses to either k

  • The Dire Girl   Chapter 16: Ash Night

    SeleneThe pack always drank harder on the night they remembered Elara.Not in a soft way, and not in the human way either, with candles and careful voices and grief arranged neatly enough to be survived. Wolves had never been made for tidy mourning. Even when the dead were loved properly, especially then, remembrance came rougher than that. It came through smoke and whiskey and overcooked meat. Through old stories told badly and interrupted halfway through because someone wanted to correct a detail that did not matter as much as they pretended it did. Through standing too close together around barrel fires with the cold at your back and the dead moving through the yard in memory so thickly they felt almost scentable. It came through anger too, because anger sat more naturally in the body than sorrow and often passed for strength when strength was all anyone wanted to be seen offering.The yard behind the garage wore grief heavily that night. Smoke from the fires hung low in the air,
