I quickly switched on the air conditioner, and the cool air brought me back to my senses. It must have already been scorching hot outside. The plants outside my window were all drooping and wilting.

He was covered in a strange, shimmering black dust that looked like soot but moved like insects. "The southern watchtower," Jace gasped, collapsing to one knee. "It’s gone. Not destroyed, Elora. It’s just... gone. There’s nothing left but a hole in the world." Kaelen rushed forward, his hands already glowing with a soft green healing light. He tried to brush the black dust off Jace’s shoulder, but as his fingers touched it, he hissed in pain. The dust wasn't just dirt; it was a localized "Deprivation" even more absolute than my own.

It’s a romance novel entitledBuilt from Stoneabout a girl who goes hiking and gets caught in a storm, only to be rescued by a rough mountain man who takes her home to his cabin where…thingshappen.

With a gentle pull, Joseph selected a dusty tome, feeling the weight of its untold stories in his hands.

“No, Not this one either. “I close the book. I add it to the growing pile. It’s almost as tall as I am. A tower of no’s. But there’s still no winner. “Just a distraction .” it's all I want. “I just need something.” Anything that can take my mind off this unbearable heat. Not to mention that. I frown at the clock. It’s almost noon. But I still haven't seen a single soul. Maids quit all the time, but even then, someone would come. It’s never been this bad before. And it’s only going to get worse. I’m already sticky with sweat. It’s getting hotter.

I figured this was a habit Gideon had gotten into after all his years in Morbeck. He probably couldn't change so quickly. His Majesty beckoned to me when he saw me.

They're relatives though. He just nodded so I continued to come out. My eyes never drop around the other building. I ignored it or even observed it.

He wanted more of her, and it that same desire to have more that led him to the forbidden; the alter. She wasn't warmth that calmed his burning, hard, touch, she was ice. Unmelting ice. Knox wasn't one that snuggled but the effect of her skin, touch drove him to want her with him, always. He truly became a married man. Before, he'd mock the likes of one but after she came, after Aeesha; the little rain that sizzled his destroying flames, he truly realized the effect, the meaning. Every morning, he'd wake up to meet her up early, cooking what was always sumptuous and raveling for more.

Dagger's such an asshole. He ordered me to clean the main room. I'm hot and sweaty and my muscles ache from moving tables and chairs with only Rufus' help. I've been here for six days and all I do is cook, clean, and fuck. I visit Red in the morning before it's too hot in the trailer. I have no idea how they stand it. Has anyone heard of air conditioners around here? The fucking thing they call an evap cooler does a piss poor job. At night it's too damn hot for Dagger to touch me after we've fucked.
