LYRA*I'm not sure how long I have been in this dream world of mine. I think I will stay here, though. Who wants to go back to a broken brain and a broken body. Not me, that is for sure.I am content right here in my mystical fairyland filled with creatures you only read about in books and watched in movies. The only time I was out of this dream was when Vega was here. Once she left, I went right back into my dream state, a place where unicorns, dragons, centaurs, fairies, mermaids, and even creatures like werewolves and other shifter beings resided.My mind has taken me to another planet, I suppose. Where different raises of humanoid creatures reside. Maybe all of those stories my mom has told Vega and I about Lyra have molded their way into my subconscious. My mom should write a book about this supposed planet we all lived on in a past life. She would make millions.At night the universe bursts with vibrant bright colors. This world had two moons. It is hard to explain. It's all a d
VEGA*Jace and I frantically collected our things and ran out to his truck. Once he had helped me inside, Jace ran over to his side, jumped in, and started the truck. He backed out of the driveway and took off down the road."I can't believe she is awake. Oh my goodness, we just left the hospital. Why couldn't Lyra have woken up while we were there? I'm so happy, Jace," I said excitedly."I know; I'll need to call Tanner and Blaze; they will probably want to come to see her. What do you think?" Jace asked while glancing over at me with a massive grin on his face."Well, as much as I would love that, I think we should give it a couple of days. Let's wait until Lyra's comfortable having other visitors. I guess we will all need to get together and move her things down to the guestroom," I said.Jared has helped my parents and me with ordering and installing rehab equipment in mine and Lyra's gym, but ramps and other things have not been installed. Blaze and Tanner had said they would hel
LYRA*Dr. Wise started my physical therapy the morning after I had woken up from the coma, and the last two weeks have been a whirlwind of activity. At first, my muscles were weak, and Dr. Wise tried to get me to take painkillers and muscle relaxers, but I wouldn't take them. I know how it goes with pain medication; it's so easy for someone to get addicted to them. Half of the time, I wouldn't take anything at all. When I couldn't stand it anymore, I would take some Tylenol or Advil.Now, after two weeks, I have made it up to three-pound weights, and my muscles have strengthened enough in my legs so that I can walk some.Dr. Wise and I were now on a first-name basis and have become good friends. I am attracted to Jared, but he insisted that we be nothing more than just friends. If Jared were to have a relationship with one of his patients, he could get suspended or fired. I insisted that I would be going home in two weeks, and then I wouldn't be his patient any longer. Still, here we
LYRA*I was standing there trying to answer all of Jace's Aunts' questions. I have met so many new faces I couldn't seem to remember her name. She seemed like a great person, but I would like to move further from the door. Vega and I hadn't gotten very far when people started coming up to us and introducing themselves.All of Jace's cousins were fine as hell; my goodness. Jace's Aunt kept rattling on until a man walked up, telling her maybe I needed to sit down. Then he looked over at me, and I almost died. The man from my dreams was standing before me. I pinched myself, hoping this wasn't a dream.He gaped at me, his bright sapphire eyes wide. My eyes probably looked as if they were about to pop out; I couldn't do anything but stare at him; I didn't know what to say. Jace's Aunt was looking back and forth between us with a confused expression on her face.Thank God for Vega, who stepped in, "Lyra, this is Blaze, Jace's cousin. Blaze, this is my sister Lyra," Vega said with a massive
LYRA*Blaze walked out, and all I could do was sit there. I couldn't move or blink or anything. I stared at the door hoping Blaze would come back. Blaze is my soulmate. I knew the instant we kissed. The tingling sensation, the sparks, and flashes of light consumed me. Why in the world did I tell him to move on; I must be crazy? That's when my thoughts turned to Jared. I closed my eyes and brought myself back to the real world. I got up from my bed and made my way to Jared.The pizza had arrived; Jared was eating the hamburger Blaze had made me, which upset me slightly. I'm guessing that because my hamburger was gone. Blaze had made my hamburger perfectly as if he knew how I would like it.I grabbed a paper plate and filled it with chips and some salsa. Then I grabbed another paper plate and got myself four pieces of pizza. I looked over to see Blaze and Tanner grabbing some beers from the fridge. Blaze glanced over at Jared and then at me. A flash of annoyance crossed his face. Then h
BLAZE*"A dream I had about you and me a couple of months ago," I said, and Lyra gasped next to me."You, you had a dream about us," Lyra asked, and she sat up, with surprise written all over her face."I call it a dream, but it was so vivid, and it felt so real. Researchers call it lucid dreaming, I think. I'm so glad that you are back. I've been working myself to the bone to keep from going nuts," I said."I had a dream about us as well. I wonder if it was the same dream for us both. That would be so strange. What would it mean?" Lyra asked me."Lyra, come on; you and Blaze can flirt later," Vega hollered out just when I was about to reply to Lyra."Let me get a beer, and I'll be right there," Lyra said as she shrugged her shoulders at me and got up from the loveseat."Go ahead, and I'll grab a beer for you," I said to Lyra as I got up and started making my way to the kitchen.There were three different types of beer in the refrigerator, and I hadn't asked Lyra what she would like.
LYRA*Blaze kissed each one of my aching ribs. Each kiss gave healing to the pain, and with each kiss, my pain started to disintegrate as if it were never there in the first place.When Blaze finished working his magic over my ribs, he positioned himself between my legs and brought me into another passionate kiss. Blaze's pants rub gently along my panties, and heat radiates through my core. I could feel my panties becoming wet, in need of him.Blaze sat up for a moment and began to undress. I sat up and grazed my fingertips along his muscular chest until I reached his pants. I unbuttoned and unzipped his pants, and he stood so that he could pull his pants and underwear off.The light to my room was still on, so I could see every detail of his lean, muscular body. His eight-inch shaft stood at attention, beckoning me. Blaze's muscles were more defined than I remembered. His hair and chin stubble had grown out longer as if he hadn't taken the time to get a trim. His black hair brought o
BLAZE*I woke up to Lyra on top of me, hugging me like a koala bear and snoring lightly in my ear. I must be a heavy sleeper because, for the life of me, I don't know how I slept through this. It was the cutest thing I have ever seen in my life.I wished I could reach for my phone; I would take a picture, but my phone was in my jeans pocket on the floor, and I didn't want to wake Lyra up. I looked over to the window to see the sun had come up and shone through the blinds.I needed to go to the bathroom, and Lyra was just an inch away from my morning wood. About the time tried to figure out a way of moving her without her waking up, Lyra mumbled something into my ear incoherently.Then she rolled over onto her right side, her head lying on my arm. The covers had been thrown off in the night so the sheets wouldn't get in the way. I slowly moved my arm and gently put my other hand under Lyra's cheek. Then I placed her head down on the bed.I somehow managed to get up without waking Lyra.
