I knocked on the door, but Hunter just opened it right up. He lived there after all. I guess it didn’t matter. He tugged me after him, “Da’s probably not home yet.” “Great.” That was just what I needed to be bitched at by a feisty young woman who was pregnant.  And as soon as I stepped foot over…

Hunter dragged me into a thrift shop around the corner. How he knew there was one was beyond me – he was five. I can’t imagine his dad would have brought him to a place like this. It was full of things people didn’t want and Alex didn’t look like the type to want things people had…

It was Halloween, and there were shops all over the place – just for the season. We started at one end of town and worked our way to the other looking for something that had a decent selection. This close to Halloween the pickings were slim and I didn’t much like what they had. So we moved on. We…

Vin walked us into the middle of a room I’d never been in. The whole room was shadowed in darkness. Hunter grinned brightly in the black light, “It’s protected from outsiders too. Not everyone can just walk in.” “That’s good to know.” I said, “Alex thinks of everything.” Hunter giggled, “Da, said no fucking way am I letting…

Sleep didn’t come. Coffe helped that. I was on my second pot by the time I gathered my things up and was heading out the door for a long day of drawing while I waited for Hunter. I didn’t live far from Central Park. But where Hunter lived was on the other side of the…

“That’s why you wouldn’t let me leave.” I said with a nod. I agreed easily to Alex and even more so to Hunter.  Alex took my hand and we were in nothingness. Well not nothingness there were lots of orbs of various colors. “Where are we?” “Erebus.” Alex said calmly, “It’s the place between dreams.” Alex pointed…

I wanted to go to bed immediately. But Alex had to get home first, and he probably wasn’t going to sleep right away either. For some reason I was pretty sure Alex wanted to keep me waiting. Leave me on the hook for a little longer, so that I wanted him more and more. I’d say he didn’t know how much I wanted…

I could have hopped a train. I could have started running. I could have done a lot of things, but I started walking home. The air was crisp – almost too cold without a jacket. I expect the vampire to follow me but when I looked behind me there was nothing but the empty street. Well not empty – regular people. People…

The fight started and I fell into what felt like an old habit. Like I’d been in a ring before, but yet I didn’t remember doing so. But it felt comfortable.  The big man with claws for fingers came at me and I easily dodged away from him, and as he passed behind me I brought a…

The address that Dom texted me was in Lower Manhattan specifically Tribecca. It was almost as far from my home as I could get. And it was a several hour walk, so I decided to take the train instead. It was dark by the time I stepped off the train and into the night air.…

Alex had his hands full and walking down the stairs was lonely. I had walked up with Hunter and had dinner with Alex – for the second time. I enjoyed my time here. It felt nice – but it was time to get back to my world. Which really wasn’t my world. It was Alex’s…

We sat down at a glass table and some wire chairs with bright cushions on them. It was rather comfortable. “That’s his kitchen isn’t it?” I asked. Alex nodded with a frown, “Yeah. But you liked it didn’t you?” I nodded, “Who wouldn’t?” He smiled but he didn’t say anything more. We ate in silence until I chuckled. Alex cocked an eyebrow at me,…

The first thing I did when I got out of the shower was check the message Alex had sent. A shower sounds good. Sure you don’t want to take one here. I was sure. Though it could be tempting. The sex had been good, but I was in love with him, and I knew it. Having…

I went for a run. I ran for about two hours. My dream was rolling through my head. The day before was coursing through my veins. I couldn’t get Alex out of my head. It wasn’t even the sex. That had been great, it was just him. Things he said too – they stayed with…

The shower went cold before I got out. My apartment was dark. I could feel Jo upstairs sleeping. The thought of why never crossing my mind, though it should have. But I was mentally drained as I collapsed in my bed to sleep. I didn’t prepare myself for dreaming and woke to my lone tree and the…

Downstairs on my way to the shower, I had more than the three people I expected in my bedroom. Fucking door! Dominic Olmos stood in jeans and a flannel shirt staring up at my naked body. He neither said anything nor looked like he was admiring the goods, just watched me descend the stairs. “You…

I didn’t know what made him so upset at me. I didn’t ask him here. But I got the impression that no matter what I did he was going to be mad at me. So I followed him upstairs and made him a cup of coffee I had just brewed – cream and two sugars.…

The look on Jo’s face told me that she didn’t want to go with Dom. “Would Rider be best?” I asked. “Dom asked you for the favor tho.” Vin said. “But Jo doesn’t want to go with him.” “So you trust a sixteen year old boy?” I shrugged, “I worked for him – so yeah.” Jo shook…

I didn’t know if trusting him was a good thing but it sure beat the alternative. Tossing my cookies so to speak sucked. We ended up in a broom closet. Very close. I could smell the musk of the man who’d dragged me through a shadow. And if I wasn’t jonesing for some other guy I’d have kissed him. He seemed…

The place we were going was called the Infirmary. It was two whole floors of hospital and minor research facilities and as I was coming to understand now a physiatric ward. The ward was on the thirty-first floor and that’s where we were going. That was a little over 400 steps. That wasn’t too bad. It wasn’t even close to a…

I finished my pumpkin pie and took a cup of coffee to go. The walk to the Apex Unlimited Building across the street was strange. It felt like I crossed a line. A shiver ran through my body as I stepped up on to the curb. It looked and felt like any other mall I’d…
