This was the first real birthday that I had with Alex. His birthday had always been in the dream. I remembered some of them. The last one with my brothers was a good one, and several others I had remembered. All dressing up and playing a part. But this Halloween we had kids to take…

Dee made it just in time to take out her pie from the oven with the last bit of cooking wrapping up, Iris and Dee pushed me out of my kitchen. “Go play with the boys.” Dee said as she pushed Dev out after me. Rosie had arrived as well as Carla and were helping…
-
Our kiss ended with both of us breathless and grinning maddly at each other. Dev was an amazing kisser. Not that Sage or Dee were bad, but Dev was just Dev. Dev pressed a kiss to my cheek. “I wish you wouldn’t keep me out.” I sighed. “I’m trying. I don’t want to drown you.”…

Early the next morning I was up went for a run and had a shower before starting breakfast when there was a knock at the door. The boys were all getting ready for school I could hear the giggling upstairs. And 16 year old boys in fits of laughter wasn’t necessary a good thing but…
-
It was the day before the big day. Our first family dinner with most of our families getting together for the first time. Everyone’s but mine. Which was depressing in it’s own right. Even Sage’s long lost brother was going to be here. It was the first time we were all meeting him. Sage had…
-
It was late, or early, depending on how you looked at it. The quickest way back to my flat took me through a stench-filled alley. My mates would be in bed and my boyfriend… a guitar riff played on my phone and I laughed. Speak of the devil, the screen lit up with a message:…
-
By the time I walked back home it was late. The lights in the house were all off and the basement door was locked. Sage had already gone to bed. It was colder now. The moon was hidden behind the clouds, it might snow soon. I could feel it. But I didn’t go inside. I…
-
Dee told me all about how she and Dev met. They’d been in highschool together, but they didn’t know each other. It wasn’t until nursing school that she met him. He was playing a club with the guys and they hooked up. It wasn’t anything spectacular Dee said. But she went back another night and…
-
I was the gentleman. I opened all the doors and I kept Dee warm with an easy pattern woven around us. She didn’t seem to notice there was no chill and the breeze when it swept down the wind tunnel that was New York City streets didn’t phase us. I asked, “Where we going? And…
-
Dev and Dee lived several blocks away and I walked in the chilling November weather. It wasn’t bitter cold yet. But it was getting there. The leather kept me warm as I walked and drowned in the emptiness of my life. The doorman smiled at me and waved me over. I’d been over almost everyday…
-
Sage pulled me off the couch. “Go get ready.” I sighed. It wasn’t that I didn’t want to go. I was in a funk, which was why Sage was pushing me to go. Why he had set everything up – rather told Dee that she had to take me out tonight. She was the only…

The nights had been long after my hunger passed. But with Tony’s help and his love we conquered the hunger. I can now survive again on the blood of man without ripping their throats out. There have been missions. But Tony and I have spent most nights alone together finding oneness with each other. But…
-
The pain was excruciating. It felt like my insides were about to rip out of of my body. Blood covered my hands. Cold, sticky and dead. It clung to my skin. The coppery smell sent my stomach into spasm as I fled the scene. The fire behind me burned and would burn until the body…
-
It had been a few days since I’d been back and I’d avoided one person. I’d seen Mia when picking up Drake and told her I’d talk with Jace later. I didn’t want to make it worse by waiting too long. He’d hopefully understand why I didn’t tell him right away. But I didn’t think…
-
Date night was good. Nox was perfectly dressed I’d seen him in club wear before, but this this was spectacular. The blue rose was perfect. I had been disappointed he hadn’t followed me back up stairs. I’d have been late for our reservation if I could have taken him out of his clothes. But I…
-
I had plenty of time to kill before I was to meet up with Sage at 8. I saw Drake for the first time and told him I would come get him at Poppi’s place so that he could sleep with us tonight. I hoped Sage didn’t mind. I sent him a text asking him…
-
Everything was spinning when I left Dorian. I needed to sit down half way up the stairs to my room. The world kept shaking me to the core. I turned the card in my hand over and over. It was just data – my life – my entire life. Everything in it. But I had…
-
The Venatori knew about the dragon’s attempt on my life. They gave Margo my sister. The one thing the Venatori are is meticulous records keepers. I knew I could go to the Archives and find the answers. I knew Mrs. Vega would gladly help me. But I wasn’t sure I wanted to know the truth.…
-
Gary’s office was much like Dae’lin’s they ran the field hunters together – splitting the hunters between them, and they had their own minions to do paper work and such. Normally I’d be standing outside Dae’lin’s office, but Gary had wanted to talk to me. Dae’lin was watching me from the glass window in her…
-
Sage carried my things inside and took them upstairs to his room. He was grinning like a fool. My things were finally almost completely in his house now. I didn’t take off my clothes as I plopped down on his bed. Sage touched my face and smiled down at me. “You okay?” I shook my…
-
Our sex life became a series of conversations prompted by the things we watched on the screen. Nox would sit and watch some of the things as I surfed around the dark web with me. He almost always remained clothed until later in the evening. He never touched himself, he was always watching me. Making…
