"Do you feel like that, sometimes? A diamond?" He actually laughed out loud that time. "A diamond? Absolutely not. I am one fat lump of coal. Charcoal. The kind that goes in the grill, right before you burn it. The kind that starts a fire that won't go out, and cooks anything that gets close enough. I am the f***ing fire." I backed up, mentally. Those were a whole bunch of loaded words. I wasn't sure if I should approach any of it. In that moment, Jake kicked his heel back into the oak desk. It made a loud thump. His face lit up in pain, and it took him a moment to control his facial expression. I held my breath. Violence was what I had been prepared for. He could do more, if he really wanted to. He kicked the desk one more time, seemingly out of frustration. "The f***ing fire," he repeated, short of breath with irritation and pain. I inched closer, praying that he wouldn't look at me. Jake grew still again, staring out the window. I stood against the wall, waiting for him to notice my presence. He didn't. "Jake," I said softly. "Jake, listen to me. It's over. Everything already happened. Come back to the present, okay? Focus on right now." ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Jacob Sethsday has a history that might lead you to believe that he is a bad guy.

"Stop it, Dax." I wouldn't meet his eyes, I couldn't. His hot breath trailed up my neck, his soft lips ghosting over the exposed flesh. He chuckled when my back arched involuntarily, my cheeks flaring hot and pink. "It's Officer Rivera, to you." His deep voice rasped quietly in my ear. "Besides, you don't want me to stop, Princesa." "If you don't stop, I'll-" "You'll what?" He interrupted, smirking against my jawline. "Call the police?" Jane Kingsley is a Veterinary Medicine major at the University of California-Davis.

Not a lame or scrub, no that aint' what it was. Though this girl is somebody else's i think I'm in love.

A broken girl... Twenty years old and I'd finally had enough. I couldn't take anymore, so I packed up my things and disappeared, leaving behind my drunken, abusive father and the mother that stood by and watched as I slowly died. I knew I was going, but not where I'd stop. The last thing I expected once on my own, was to be spending my nights stripping at a club in Florida, barely getting by. I should have known running from a past wouldn't make it stop haunting me, because misery will always find me and tear me down until there's nothing left of me. It always has... Things can always change though, right? Like looking up at a handsome, tattooed stranger, and with one stare he has me questioning everything I've ever believed in. I wasn't expecting or prepared for someone to storm into my life. Not him. Jace Montgomery. The name I'll never forget. The need to save me lies in his eyes, but I don't need a savior. Trust- what he wants to teach me. That I'm something more than what I've grown up believing and that I'm worth loving. Those are the things he wants me to believe. How am I supposed to let him in and show me I'm something when I've spent my entire life being... nothing? He won't give up, and honestly, I'm hoping he never does... Because maybe... just maybe... I am worth saving after all.
