A collection of dark, angsty, and bittersweet one-shots. ~*~ Since she'd forced him to allow himself to feel his emotions, they were on a hairpin trigger and she was never sure when she'd pull on one. He'd spent years planting landmines in the ether of his thoughts in order to protect himself. Then came she, dancing around them, pushing his buttons, and falling in love with him. The price she paid for that, his temporary visits and his leaving, was worth the agony they left behind. Sometimes, she would go so long without seeing him that her mind almost convinced her he was fictional by the time he finally fell through her window. Now he was here, he'd become real again. She could touch, kiss and hug him-love him. ~*~ The above excerpt is from, Worth the Pain.

Archer Morales has never believed his life was meant to be anything other than pure hell in which every minute feels like a struggle to keep breathing. That's why he's so keen on ending it. Not because he wants to, but only because he has no idea how to stop the dark, intrusive thoughts or the crippling depression that's always kept him in a chokehold. At this point, Archer has all but accepted that this is simply how he is - broken. He doesn't know if he even wants help or how to ask for it, and admitting he needs it when Archer's own mother has demons of her own to battle doesn't seem like an option. Things are hard enough keeping the family coffeehouse running and making sure Archer's little sister, Rosie, never learns the horrid truth about what happened to their father - or how much Archer feels responsible for it. Just as he's sure he's mapped out his next steps to permanently solve his problems, the last person in the world Archer expects to make him think twice enters the picture: Hadley Jamison. He doesn't know what to make of the popular girl who always seems to be smiling and is way too determined to become his friend. Archer is overly suspicious of Hadley and her intentions at first, but the walls he's spent so long building to keep himself safe start coming down much quicker than he would've thought. Despite all the change - and some of that change Archer can admit is good - there's still one thing he's certain of: nothing good lasts forever. At least, that's what he's always told himself. But now that the blinders are coming off and Archer realizes he's not as alone as he'd thought, he can't help but be terrified of what will happen if the very thing he never really thought existed - love - is snatched away from him. And possibly the hardest lesson Archer is about to learn is that while you can't run from your past, you can change your future - even if you always felt like you never deserved one.

Her newest bodyguard, Tyler, has caught her eye, and sent her thoughts spinning with filthy daydreams. The reality would prove far more complicated. Secrets, pining, and intoxicating lust. ~*~ Lust didn't follow the rules, nor did she, and when he claimed her mouth and began to move, her doubts scattered to the winds as she moaned into his mouth. She had fucked him in her head countless times these weeks, but the incredible reality was something she couldn't have fathomed. He was splitting her in two, not letting her breathe, only to grab her leg and hook it around his waist, fingers bruising; he used it to give him more leverage. His slow, shallow movements became intense plunges within her greedy cunt as he fucked her. ~*~
