DaniHe wasn't coming.It's not like he specified a time to shimmy up my drainpipe, but I assumed it would be before midnight. It was already 12:05. With a sigh, I shifted to turn off my lamp when a small stone clattered against my window. Giddy, I jumped out of bed, hurried over to my window, and pulled it open.There he stood, looking up at my window, face sexy and gleaming in the moonlight. Be still my heart, my pulse, my body... Heck, be still everything. He was so gorgeous it was unfair. "Hey, Romeo." I laughed. "What brings you by my window so late?""I was hoping to get lucky." Linc winked.I started to close my window."Joke!" he yelled. "It was a joke!"I popped my head out and crooked my finger. "Aren't you going to climb up?"Linc was wearing a hooded black sweatshirt; he pulled the hood over his face and shoved his hands into his pockets. "Actually, I was hoping you'd come down.""It's midnight!""Actually..." He checked his watch. "... it's nearing 12:08, but w

DaniHe was nothing like Elliot. Elliot had been... a boy. Lincoln was all muscle, a man who had filled out in places I didn't even know guys filled out. I was desperate for him, not because I wanted to make things go away, but because I felt alive with him. I felt like me.The me I used to know.The one that smiled, the one that laughed, the one that talked. He had seen the mute, but he'd also seen the girl before the muteness, the one I'd missed so much it brought tears to my eyes.But most of all, he embraced them both.Something that nobody had done until now.It was freeing, giving myself to someone so completely."Dani," Linc whispered, his mouth meeting mine in another searing kiss that had my body trembling. Sensations rocked through me as he flipped me onto my back, bracing himself over me, the muscles in his neck twitching as his arms flexed, his body weight being held up so he wouldn't crush me.Lincoln Greene. Was. Gorgeous. Stormy grey eyes locked with mine. His

DaniFilming was going late and I was exhausted after being kept up most of the night, so I grabbed the last of the Skittles, poured them into the bowl, made sure that Linc had the water he wanted, double-checked the blinds to make sure they were closed, then went to let myself out of the trailer.The door opened right before I touched it, and suddenly Linc and I were chest to chest.My breath came out in a little gasp as he lifted me into his arms and kissed me soundly across the mouth, while simultaneously locking the door behind him. I didn't have time to respond as he walked me back into the small bedroom then tossed me onto the bed. His shirt went flying, then shoes, jeans... gone. And he was standing before me much like he had the night before, naked."Good day?" I breathed, sitting up on my elbows."It just got better." He licked his lips, eying me up and down before crooking his finger.Slowly, I got off the bed and approached him, lifting my hands into the air as he pu

Dani"Walk on the beach with me?" Linc held out his hand to me. With a giddy laugh, I grabbed it and followed him down closer to the shore, while everyone behind us was being serenaded by AD2 and Gabe. A few years ago, if someone would have told me that my sister would be married to Jaymeson, and on my eighteenth birthday I'd have some of the most famous celebrities in the world singing around a beach fire in my honor, I would have laughed in their face or thought I was hallucinating.Their voices were drowned out by the roar of the ocean as we made our way to the shore. My bare feet squished against the cold wet sand. Linc didn't say anything as we walked hand in hand for what felt like a mile. Finally, he stopped and turned; his eyes lit up like he knew a secret."Do you want your present?""You walked me a whole mile from the warmth of the fire to give me my present?"He lifted my hands to his lips, kissing both of my wrists before dropping them and reaching one hand into his

DaniThree months laterIt was hard. I always hated movies that ended with "And they lived happily ever after," because that was never how the real world worked. Going through hell didn't automatically give you a free pass to happyland. But having Linc by my side? It made it better, easier, because I finally had someone who understood and accepted me."No way!" a girl shrieked next to me. "I think that's Lincoln Greene!"The friend started fanning herself. "Seriously, tell me he isn't the hottest thing you've ever seen?""I heard he's basically engaged to some local girl back in Oregon. Damn, there must be something in the water over there. Did you know AD2 both got married to local girls too?""Well." The girl with dark hair rubbed her hands together. "That's settled. I'm moving to Oregon!"They busted up with laughter until Linc grabbed our coffees and made his way in our direction. Then, absolute silence.He handed me my coffee, brushed a soft kiss across my forehead, an
