NOT SO EASY

THEONI had no idea if it was surprise at Bryon turning up or something else entirely, but at the sound of his voice, my memory was jarred free, releasing the only thing that could make fear swamp the thoughts of my mind.My throat bobbed in a hard swallow and I forced the fear back down as I tried to collect my thoughts. I was pretty sure she was okay. There was no way she was going to be in his custody as well, right?“What? No more words to educate me, Brother?” he mocked, emphasizing the term that suddenly had even less of a meaning than it did last night.“Just wondering if this was the plan you originally came up with alongside my mother.”That gave him pause, and his approaching footsteps died. “Do you really think she has no idea you’re in my clutches right now? You overestimate your importance in her life.”“How do I say this?” I asked, my voice sounding thoughtful in the way I was certain would piss him off. “Bullshit.”“Bring her out,” Bryon ordered, and for a second my hea

FREE, AT LAST

ALINAI didn't give myself any time to process the shock of what was happening. I was all reaction, zero pause. My body flattened against the backrest of my seat, feet swinging out and knocking the gun out of Casey's grasp.She gasped, lunging for the fallen weapon, but I was faster, much faster. I grabbed onto the hair at the nape of her neck, snapping forward and using my momentum to bring her head in contact with the seat.A groan parted her lips and Theon retrieved the gun from where it had fallen between the seats. One hard hit to the side of the head and she was slouching over the seat in an unconscious heap.“Are you okay?” Theon asked me, his eyes boring holes through to my soul as he studied me, harsh breathing and all.I nodded, struggling to get down from the high of my emotions and the adrenaline that had made me feel invisible just a moment ago.“We’re going to have to talk about where you learned to do that.”Once again, I nodded. The flow of oxygen into my lungs was sti

CAN WE FEEL BETTER(1)

THEONI didn’t need to be in her head to know that she was mulling; she had the look on her face – eyes staring blankly into the distance, bottom lip caught between her teeth, all the telltale of a woman who was drowning in her own thoughts.The water was cold against my skin, the blast of cold air making my stomach tighten as I stood at the door to the bathroom, watching her.Her beautiful long lashes flickered with a blink, her hazel eyes twinkling in contemplation. The soft swell of her cheeks rising and falling into a slightly oval jawline that ended in a pointy chin, and the pink shade of small lips that were puckered in attention.“What are you thinking about?” I asked, shocking her into a turn.“I… uh… nothing.”“Liar.” I took a single step in her direction, intentionally bringing my body into her line of focus, armed with the knowledge that she loved it.“What? I’m not lying. I…”I raised a brow in her direction, waiting for the complete sentence even though I was beyond certa

DISCUSSIND DARKNESS

ALINATheon looked like he was in pain. His face squeezed and he dropped his eyes closed and his forehead leaned against mine.In that moment, I felt powerful; like I had him at the tip of my finger and could drive him to madness with a single flick of said finger. I dropped a soft kiss on his chest, feeling his muscles bunch underneath my lips. The next kiss came with more heat than the first one, and when my open mouth touched his skin, he let out another groan.“Why are you fighting this?” I decided to ask. It was pretty obvious that he was holding himself back from… this.“I don’t think we should be doing this right now.” His words came out strained, and a muscle jumped in his jaw.He still had his eyes squeezed shut, and the lines on his face were tight. I laced my fingers around together at the back of his neck, using him to leverage myself better into his body.“You should stop doing that,” he admonished.“Why?” I countered. “This is what I want to do. Does that not count?”I c

PANIC ATTACKS DON'T JUST HAPPEN

ALINAThere was a brief moment when I wanted to say no. You know, that point where fear was pushing past desire to make a camp in your body. The look on Theon’s face was mostly crazed, making me wonder if I’d just given him free rein to make me suffer.A small voice in my head said that he wouldn’t hurt me, but then another part flashed with the memory of Zach hitting me across the face and…I realized too late that he had stopped touching me and stepped back. When my eyes moved to his face, it was to find him watching me with a look of pure regret.My mouth fell open and closed multiple times, whatever excuse I was going to give stuck at the back of my throat. “I’m sorry,” I whispered.“Me too.”He turned on his heels and stepped out of the dressing room, walking into the bathroom and shutting the door in his wake.I felt like complete and utter shit. Why had I pressed for it when I knew I wasn’t going to be able to take it? My palms came over my eyes and I pressed them into the…“Wh

OF COURSE

THEONThere was a tension in the air, the kind that sat pretty heavy and made everyone present shift with discomfort. Tatiana flashed me an apologetic look, her eyes saying she had wanted to, but hadn't had the power enough to make my mother stop.I gave her a small nod, letting her know that it was in no way her fault. My mother had a knack for stepping over people and doing whatever pleased her. Some of us were used to it.My chest heaved in a weary sigh and I made to step out and close the door, to spare my girl from the drama that was bound to ensue, but she was already headed in my direction, and by the look on her face, she was definitely not sitting this one out.I sighed again, this one heavier than the first."What are you doing here?" I asked the woman who had, unfortunately, brought me into this world.Her face held all the entitlement of a woman used to getting what she wanted, and it irked me to no end that she viewed my life as just one more point to exert authority and

NEAR MELTDOWN

ALINAThe nerve of that woman. God, I wanted to wring her neck and shake her violently. Maybe even slam her face into the wall as many times as possible until she finally - because she fucking needed it - got some sense knocked into her very mushy, very entitled brain."What are you doing?" A small voice asked from behind me. The sound was so small it caused me to startle.I spun around, my hand coming up to my chest like it was going to stop my heart from beating a staccato rhythm in my chest."Why are you sneaking up on me?" I whined, glaring at Tati who was wearing an apologetic grin."Why are you spying on him?" She threw back, tilting her head in the direction of the door like she needed to make sure I understood what she was asking.I scrubbed a hand down my face, grumbling under my breath, "Nothing."She shook her head. "Look, Lina, right now he just needs to clear his mind. Let him chill out and then..."The words trailed off, like she didn't exactly know what else to say. Th

EXCUSE ME?

THEONA million and one emotions danced around my insides like some hula type performance was going on. I couldn't grab hold of anyone in particular, and the tears that had clung to Alina's lashes had done nothing to help.I felt like absolute crap. Why the hell had I just taken the time off for myself without talking with her first? She had also been there when my godforsaken mother had thrown stupid threats and insults around. My fingers ran through the waves of my hair, pulling harder than necessary as I waited on both girls to finish getting ready.The sound of my phone's ringing sliced through the emotional storm that I was under, stilling the space instantly.I accepted the call and brought the phone to my ear. "What's going on?"Ava sighed on the other end of the phone. "Well, hello to you too, friend." Her voice rang with sarcasm.I swallowed and closed my eyes for a second, like that was going to regulate the mess of emotions that I was. When I opened my eyes, I found the be

SNAP

ALINAZeya? Who the hell was that?Confusion sat with me like a buddy, squeezing my eyebrows into a frown. I looked behind me, and Tati had gone very still. The only difference between her and a statue right now, was the skin that covered her form.Her eyes were rounded, watching Mr. Callum with an expression that could only be described as shock. Her face had gone pale, and even her chest was no longer rising and falling with the assurance of breathing.“What are you talking about?” I heard Theon ask a very stunned Mr. Callum.“That’s… she’s… how do you…?” He made an attempt at giving us an explanation of some sort, but instead his words were nothing more than shaky stutters that conveyed just how weighed he was by whatever the fuck was going on here.I looked between him and the girl who had been my best friend since college, wondering why she had yet to say anything to quell the heightened confusion that was hovering in the air around us. Why was she so quiet? Why wasn’t she saying

UHH...?

NOELLEThe ground looked dreary, and like it was too many feet away. I'd always been scared of heights and even more so now that my life hung in the balance."Noelle?" Mom's voice came from the other side of my door. She pounded against the wooden frame with urgency. "Noelle. What are you doing? Open up the door!"My breathing became harsher. I needed to leave here. I needed to get away from my family."Are you sure?" Nala, my younger sister, asked from her place behind me. There was a sad look in her eyes, one that stated how aware she was of the unfairness of my situation, but how helpless she still was despite it.I nodded, my own eyes brimming with tears. "I have to. I can't let them marry me off to that psycho, Nala.""I know. I can't let you do that either." She sniffled as her voice broke."Noelle! If you don't open this door right now, you will have more than one decision to regret." Mom's voice grew louder with her temper.Nala's eyes bounced between me and the door. "What a
