"I promised I'd make it worth your while, let me show you." The thunder sounded loud in the distance and Anna Jumped again. God she hated thunderstorms and it just made the confusion in her head worse.

"Did he really say wife? But that makes no sense." Anna thought to herself as she saw his wedding ring gleaming on the hand he locked around her own. The sight of the gold band made her whole world spin." Where am I?" She thought muddily as she let herself be pulled along "Why is he calling me his wife?"

She looked around the room as they made their way towards the bed. She realized that somehow she knew things about it. Like how many steps it was to the bed from the bathroom and the fact that she knew there was a flashlight in the drawer.

"Maybe you should.. show me?" Anna asked distractedly, in a confusion of desire. She looked into John's green eyes and her mind swirled as he stopped and picked her up in his arms. His eyes burned like fire as he looked down at her. He growled as he encouraged her to wrap her legs around him. Her lace panties brushed against his erection, which was pressing hard against her. She wanted him, despite not knowing how she came to be here. The thought that he might have snapped himself ran through her mind but she really didn't care.

"Well, he said with a wicked smile, "Starting with not making fun of you for the fact that you drank a whole vineyard for dinner?" He said as he walked slowly to the bed, every step pushing him against her.

"I'm not sure what you are talking about." She said breathlessly as he sat down heavily on the bed.

"You know the two bottles of raspberry desert wine you killed during the meal." John said as he settled his hands on her back and pulled her against his naked chest. Anna moaned as his crisp chest hair rubbed her nipples and made then hard and aching.

Anna licked her lips and felt her mouth go dry as she realized it tasted like raspberries. This whole night was beginning to feel very familiar and a chill ran down her spine. The quiet understated elegance of the room hit her hard.

"Maybe I did have too much wine." Anna said hesitantly as she started to feel the turmoil in her stomach twist into a solid knot. Her body felt hot, "why did you let me drink so much?"

"You know I can never say no to you when you really want something."

"And what do you think I want right now?" she asked as he moved and turned her so she lay beneath him. Anna closed her eyes to shut out the intense hunger she saw in his eyes even though she only wanted to fall into them.

"Me hopefully."

Anna felt her heart twist and she did the only thing she could or wanted to do, she wrapped her legs around him and pulled him closer. She wanted things to be like they had been. She wanted nothing more than to believe that this is real even though her mind was screaming that there was no way it could be. She tried to ignore the fact that somewhere inside her mind knew where they were but didn't want to believe it. Anna gave into what her heart wanted. She grabbed his neck and pulled him close kissing his lips. She sighed into his mouth as he deepened it.

"Now this is exactly how I pictured spending out anniversary, being your favorite distraction. "He murmured against her lips.

Anna gasped as he kissed her deeper. She felt as if she were having an out of body experience as the worlds swirled around in her head.

"It's our anniversary?"

    Six months later Anna still woke up screaming. The counselor said that as time went by and with therapy that the trauma would fade. Anna stared into the mirror and could almost see the bruises that had encircled her neck for two weeks after the accident. She ran her hands over her neck and shivered as the memory of that rainy night came back to her. The times when she woke up screaming were awful but thinking about them while awake was worse. Tears began to fall slowly and she tried to shake them off. Isabel had been damaged in many ways but she was the last member of her family she had and now she was gone. Anna knew she shouldn't cry for her but found herself doing it anyway."Princess, please don't cry," John begged as he slid the door open and wrapped his arms around her. He sat behind her on the bench in front of the mirror encasing her with his body and she leaned back with a sigh."I know I shouldn't but I just can't help it when I think about it.""I'm so sorry, I wish I could

    Their screams echoed on the buildings around them as they began to go over the edge. Anna mourned the loss of the life she'd wanted, the one she'd wanted so badly that she'd traveled back in time. Darkness began to swallow them as they started over the edge, but suddenly Anna was jerked back. Isabel's eyes went wide as Anna was jerked away and she lost her grip on Anna. The hand grabbing Anna's shirt was a solid link to safety and Isabel realized this as her hands slid free and she fell into darkness. Anna was pulled back and she saw John's strong hand had been the one holding her. Anna collapsed into John's arms as Isabel's screams died away into the darkness. The thud of her hitting the ground was loud despite the thunder and lightning and in that moment Anna curled into John as the horror seeped into her bones."Anna are you alright?" John panted as his arms wrapped around her as they both slid down the wall to sit in the rain. "It's you I'm worried about, seeing you laying there

    "I don't have anything else to say to you, John already said it all." Isabel laughed, "Wow you are better at pretending than even I thought, how is it not killing you that John and I were in your bed together?""You weren't "Together" John explained it all and Melissa admitted it. ""Amateurs," Isabel said with a grimace as she looked at Anna and shrugged. "I should have done it myself but I needed a little help. The biggest mistake I ever made." Anna found the pulse at John's throat and breathed a sigh of relief. He still didn't stir but she'd been feeling around his head while Isabel was gloating and the large bump behind his left ear was scary beyond belief. She had to do something."No the biggest mistake you ever made was trying to come between us. John loves me and I love him. Nothing is going to change that." Isabel laughed and stood snuffing out the lighted tip of the cigarette she was smoking. "I think I can change his mind. He is so accommodating, isn't he? Allowing me t

    Anna pulled away from John and stretched. She walked toward the desk and picked up the papers staring at them. "you know you don't have to do this?" She said as she turned to face him. "I know I don't, but you deserve it and I want to share everything with you, the good and the bad. I want to share all parts of our lives. I've felt like that for a while and having you come work at the company helped but I still didn't feel right.""Why didn't you tell me?""Have you seen our lives in the last few months?""I know right?" Anna laughed as she put the paper down. "It was like the universe was against us."John came and put his arms back around her and pulled her to his chest tucking her under his chin. "We have too much going for us to waste time worrying about the universe. ""How do you do that?" "What?""Make it all sound so logical.""I have to because how else am I going to convince you to stay with me." "I already said I would stay." "But what if you change your mind? All I can

    Anna turned the corner and bumped into John. She'd agreed to come to the office to talk but she hadn't expected him to come out of nowhere. It had been two days since the airport and she wasn't any closer to deciding what to do. She'd had nightmares about it the last two nights and couldn't focus on anything. John had called and asked her to meet him at work and she'd agreed because she needed to move forward somehow. "Anna it's so good to see you." His hand reached out for hers but she pulled back. John flinched, never realizing how much a simple gesture could hurt. He wanted to hold her, to make her believe in him and his love with nothing more than the strength of his love but he knew she wasn't ready for that. "Is it?" She asked looking anywhere but at him. "Anna if you will just listen I know we can make it through this. Look at all the crazy we have dealt with so far." Anna nodded knowing that he was right, but she just couldn't shut up that nasty little voice inside her own

    John walked slowly inside, trying to keep himself from hitting them. He wanted more than anything to hit them all. All three of them had worked hard to ruin his life and he was holding onto his temper by a thread. He sat down and leaned forward putting his hands on his knees. He rubbed his eyes with his hands hoping that he had the strength not to act on the anger burning inside him "Why are you here? Was I not clear when I told you to stay away from me and Anna?"Melissa sniffed, "I knew you were not serious. So I let myself in." "Mother, you are not listening! Get it through your privileged head, I want you to stay out of my life. You have probably ruined any chance I have with Anna."Melissa looked at him in shock. "You were serious? I thought you were just angry, I know how you get.""Let me set you straight once and for all. I love Anna, I would give up anything and anyone for her. You three harpies are like a plague on my life. I want you out of it.""John, why are you being s
