Don't touch me!" She yanked his hand off, inching away from his reach. "Kath.." "What do you want from me?" She snapped, fighting the urge to tear up in front of this untrusting man she once called her husband. "You." he answered with so much authority and possessiveness. Katherine scoffed, what does he take her for? She wasn't ready when he drew closer to her, covering the space between them. He lowered his head until his warm breath fanned her face, "Marry me," he whispered to her, "again" ...

But what happens when the feelings that both thought had died resurfaced, threatening to pull them back together?

And Landon Hayes wants Tyler. *** “You—” he starts to say, but his voice catches. I see his pupils dilate, his lips parting as he tries to push back against what’s happening. I let the red flash in my eyes, just for a second, enough to show him who’s in control here. It’s not about scaring him—it’s about reminding him of the natural order of things. The way this has always been meant to go. “Submit,” I growl. He whines. It’s quiet, barely audible, but I hear it.

He might fight it, but his body knows. His scent tells me everything I need to know. It’s only a matter of time before he breaks completely, before he’s begging for it.

My eldest brother, an outstanding businessman, snaps, "It's bad enough that you keep bullying Lori. How could you make her eat seafood when you know she's allergic to it? Isn't that just murder?

The oxygen in the cellar soon runs out, and it gets difficult to breathe. Ultimately, I die in there. My brothers only remember me three days later when they bring our stepsister back from the hospital. Unbeknownst to them, I've already died of asphyxiation.
