She was on her knees and busy wiping the glass cabinet and arranging the various makeup kits on display when she noticed a pair of legs with black pants standing on the other side. She stood up, dusted her knees and skirt and put on her everyday greeting smile for the customer. She was surprised to see Roman, checking out the rotating display of keychains. He did not look at her when he spoke.
"Today is my last day at work," he said. She nodded.
"I heard," she replied. "It's a good thing that you finally agreed with your parents to move with them abroad."
He finally turned his head and looked at her. Eyes full of sadness, longing, hope and some admiration? She flinched when she felt him touch her hand which was rested on top of the glass cabinet holding a rug.
"Leigh.. wait for me..." he said. She tried to open her mouth to speak but can't find the words to say. "I'll come back for you. I promise."
Dumbfounded by what Roman said, Leigh just stood there still as she watched Roman slowly walked away from her and disappeared into the crowd of the busy mall.

Little Sweet Dreamer
"Oh," he said, as my back hit the wooden wall. Damn it, of course. With nowhere to go, his arms locked me in between him and the wall. He stared down at me as he said, "So you're trying to piss me off?" His lips were surprisingly close to mine.

I could speak and be as brave as I wanted to. "Yeah, I am," I said. "What are you gonna do about it?" He paused as his eyes looked between the two of mine. Then, he smirked and swiftly closed the gap between our lips. ~~ In a small town in New York, Hazel is your average quiet type.

Open for Negotiation
He watched as her eyes skimmed over his dark eyes and black hair with barely a reaction. He felt his pride twinge a bit so he went further. Lifting his hands, he let the blood drip from them. Her eyes widened slightly and her chin rose. She looked at his hands then back at him. His dark eyes gleamed in a challenge. "You've not harmed me or mine, faery." She spoke out loud. "Blood does not scare me and neither do you. Keep your dog on its leash." Then she turned and calmly walked back inside. Intrigued now, he went to the window of the house and watched as she reassured her mother that the dog was gone "I'll see you tonight, reckless child." He promised softly. **** Marcus felt himself beginning to wake and struggled to stay in the dream. But it was no use. His eyes opened and he released the pillow his hand was gripping. It was the same one that she had laid her head on every night. His head went into the pillow heavily for a moment, breathing in her faint scent. He hated and treasured dreams like that with equal fervor. He rolled over on his back and stared at the ceiling. It had been decades since she'd been forced to break that promise. He lifted his hand and touched the ring that had been her last gift. It had been decades, but it was yesterday. ***I did not skimp on the steamy scenes so consider yourselves warned ok? There are also a few violent scenes that I'll try to remember to put a warning before so you'll have a heads up. Any of the pictures/artwork were found online so I reserve no rights to those just the story. But I do reserve all rights to the story.

"The rumors were wrong, I'm into brunette." Then he moved her closer to his body, his warm breath cooling her body. "I finally settled it Sam, the two of us are going to be together."
