"F**k!" I cried, wiping all of the pregnancy tests off of the counter and onto the floor. Alicia pulled me into a hug. "Shh...it's ok, babe. Everything will be fine. I promise." I shrugged her off and yanked my shirt over my head, revealing my back to her. I saw her horrified face in the mirror as she stared at the welts and cuts Dex put on me with his belt. "What...how...uh...did...." she wasn't forming complete sentences. "Yes. Dex did this to me last night when he came home." "Oh, my God. Grace....I'm so sorry," Alicia said, tearfully. "This is why I can't have a baby with Dex. One of us won't live through it," I sobbed. •••••••••••••••••••• Grace Devine gets pregnant and the daddy (her on-again, off-again ill-tempered boyfriend, Dex), she wants nothing to do with anymore.

Allison Cooper is a successful and beautiful woman, who loves playing the field. Her two lovers: Blake and Madeline, keep her pretty content. Not to mention, she is free to be with whomever she wants. Then, a chance encounter with Mason Edwards rocks her world and leaves them both wanting more. Can he tame the playgirl or will she break his heart? ~~~~~~~~~~~~ "I'm not looking for commitment, Mason. I like being my own person. I like being able to go where I want and do what I want, with whomever I want, without fear of hurting someone," I told him. "Ok, well, it's not like I'm asking you to run away with me. We can just take things slow and see how it goes," he says, calmly. I closed my eyes and took a deep breath. "I'm sorry, Mason, but I can't. I need to go." I drove away, watching Mason in my rearview mirror. He just stood there, defeated. I started to cry again. I drove a little way and then had to pull over. My crying turned into uncontrollable, chest heaving sobs. I could feel my heart ripping. I don't know what's wrong with me. I have only known this man for one day and yet he feels so right. It feels like I've known him my whole life. I tried to shut it off, but I couldn't. The truth is....I'm falling for Mason, too and I just can't let that happen. ***Author's Note*** This story is written from the viewpoint of two main characters: Allison and Mason, but some chapters, will have the point of view of other characters. 🚨⚠ This story contains crude language, female on female sex, BDSM, violence and touches on topics that may not be suitable for everyone.⚠🚨 🖊 Feel free to leave your comments and don't forget to give my story a star if you like it!

The idea behind this book is to publish a poem or piece of writing regularly - hopefully once a week. But there is a twist. My poems will be inspired by "Webster's Encyclopedic Unabridged Dictionary of the English Language", 1994 edition. Can poetry be inspired by a dictionary - find out for yourself - enjoy!
