AutumnOnce everyone had gone home, I had some time alone with Ty before my brother and his mom came. I sat on the chair next to his bed but he managed to persuade me to join him by saying, "Come on. Don't you want to make the patient happy? They say the happier I am, the faster I get better."I rolled my eyes and sat on the bed next to him. I looked over my shoulder at his gorgeous yet bruised face. "Now, what?"He threw his arms around me and pulled me back to lie on the bed with him. "Now we cuddle.""I thought you said you're sick," I nudged him and got back to a sitting position.He groaned. "I am. And now you just poked where it hurts most." I looked down and realized that I'd accidentally poked his side, right below his chest where two of his ribs were broken."Oh my god," I covered my mouth in panic. "I'm so sorry. Are you hurt?"He grinned. "Not if you kiss me better."I rolled my eyes, realizing that

T Y L E RShe was perfect. There was nothing about her that I did not love. Absolutely nothing that I would object nor alter. On the contrary, I looked every bit like an idiot.As I looked in the mirror at Autumn who was standing behind me, I failed to stifle an exasperated sigh. "Do I really have to wear a tuxedo?"Autumn smiled, rolling her eyes as she did so. Probably because I had asked the exact same question at least seven times tonight, three times since I had put this attire on. I turned around and pecked her nose with a small kiss. "Things I would do for you.""You look so hot," said Autumn as she put her hands on my shoulders. "Why can't you see what I'm seeing right now when you look in the mirror?""Because I can only see myself looking like an idiot who wears clothes that don't belong to him," I argued. Albeit Autumn had informed me numerous times that it was fine for me to wear her brother's clothes, I st

T Y L E RAutumn and Shanelle helped my mom with her stained mascara in the bathroom while I stayed in the living room with Bernucci. He offered me something to drink but I declined his offer. My mind was still trying to process all of this.There was a part of me that flooded with relief because I had not proceeded with the revenge. The other part felt guilty. I had spent my entire life blaming the guy, wishing him ill or dead, when he had not even known I existed until I was five. I felt bad because he was not the asshole I had portrayed him to be. He was a good man; he wanted to come to us, but mom shut him off and moved to Vancouver without telling him.He told me he had offered the scholarship because he wanted to be a part of my life—even if it was just a small part. And there I was, a year ago, planning to expose him for giving an unauthorized scholarship to the school board. Autumn said he had even called her to the office to ask a

A U T U M NWe walked back to where the rest of the group was. Almost in an instant, I noticed that both Shanelle and Lucas were nowhere to be seen. Given the circumstances, I would probably hide under the rock if I were them. A surge of concern swept through me. I hoped wherever they were, they were together because at a times like this, it was more bearable to be with someone.I glanced absentmindedly at the now darkened screen. It was a good thing Cas had immediately stopped the video before it revealed God knows what. Although it did make me wonder whether the things being revealed were indeed true or merely another rumor Villain X was trying to spread around. I caught Ty's arm and quickly asked him. "Where did Shanelle go?"It was one thing to prank someone just for the sake of joking, but to humiliate them in front of their family and everyone else was not funny. Not just a step, Villain X had taken a leap. It wou

A U T U M N ( N S F W)Tyler reached for me and covered my mouth with his then slanted his head to one side, deepening the kiss. "Autumn, I want you. I need you." His hoarse groan was an echo of my own desire. His hand slid down my throat, neck, shoulder, and down my side, making my skin burnt everywhere he touched. I squeezed my fingers in his shift and lifted it up taking it off so I could touch him. Skin to skin with no barrier. My fingers twisted in the thick blackness of his hair while I let my other hand explored the male contours of his body, causing the pulsating heat between my thighs. I heard Ty suck in his breath as I flattened my palm over his male nipple. "I want you too," I breathed out. The passionate demand of Ty's kisses obliterated any worry and fear that I had left because of Villain X. For a moment, I let myself forget all the troubles I had and simply enjoy the moment. And then the memory of Rosie ho
